<title>Jesse Elder: The Winding Shell</title>
<link>http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=34607</link>
<description><![CDATA[What is clear from one listen to The Winding Shell is that pianist Jesse Elder is a composer/arranger of some ambition. Changing time signatures and the harmonizing of alto and tenor are features of the music, as are interesting percussive dynamics and contrasts between softly voiced and more animated passages. Lively charge and pregnant pause coexist with absorbing juxtaposition in music where improvisation and structure strike a fine balance. Throw in some truly fine sax playing from four talented, distinctive voices and the result is both a challenging and rewarding listen...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The liner notes imply that this is the Christmas album {{Django Reinhardt=10635}} and {{Stephane Grappelli = 7175}} might have made, had they made one. Certainly the The Hot Club of San Francisco is a virtuosic group that specializes in conjuring that era (see their masterful Bohemian Maestro for a recent example). But there's a wealth of delicious humor here that goes beyond anything that legendary pair ever produced...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In the debut of the project Now vs. Now, keyboardist and composer Jason Lindner seizes onto a multi-lingual, multi-faceted approach to convey a global message of peace through non-violence. The group includes Panagiotis Andreou on electric bass and drummer {{Mark Guiliana = 15306}}, providing a core for the multi-ethnic group of artists Lindner has chosen to augment his trio: Baba Israel recites his poetry as well as provides beat-box grounding; trumpeter {{Avishai Cohen = 5787}} and saxophonist {{Anat Cohen = 2426}} both add brass coloration; {{Yosvany Terry = 13562}} pops in with Afro-Cuban percussion on the chekere; {{Kurt Rosenwinkel = 3921}} is featured on guitar; poet Frances Velasquez Guevara, conga-man Pedrito Martinez and bassists Andreou and MeShell Ndegeocello (who produced the album) perform periodically as vocalists...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[This reviewer heard drummer {{Eric John Eigner = 14766}}'s Mysterium project around five years ago, about the same time as picking up on guitarist Adam Cai's Pipe (TrueFalse, 2005). Both these trio releases were thrill-rides that aurally assaulted with an instrumental and compositional mix that leaned heavily on their respective leaders. Their playing field was bounded by a stylistic melange of free, funk and psychedelia. Since that time Eigner has come up with a bigger roller coaster, make that amusement park, and An Electric Soundpainting Septet joins him with Caine, a three-person horn section, electric bassist James Ilgenfritz and soundpainter {{Evan Mazunik = 2940...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Loren Stillman's Winter Fruits is an impressive follow-up to the saxophonist's stellar Blind Date (Pirouet Records, 2007). The increasingly visible altoist has been spotted on a number of recordings including {{Paul Motian = 9653}}'s On Broadway, Vol. 5, (Winter and Winter (2009), yet found time to refine his own music. Through a couple of lineup changes with new members {{Ted Poor = 13597}} (drums) and {{Nate Radley = 15966}} (guitar) and the return of {{Gary Versace = 18547}} (now on organ), Stillman's release maintains a stylized and highly substantive persona...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[An alluring aspect of this record, even before the first notes are heard is that it is simply titled Live. Expectation is enormous. It is a "live" record. What will happen? The elasticity of the jazz idiom fills the musical prospect with great expectation. Finally, performing on this record are the magnificent Swedish saxophonist, Jonas Knutsson and pianist, Mats Oberg an artist of prodigious talent, who played on {{Zappa's = 11600}} Universe (Verve, 1991), conducted by Joel Thome and scores of sadly unsung, but extraordinarily beautiful records...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[With the magnificent Requiem, pianist {{Andrzej Winnicki = 15020}} and saxophonist Krzysztof Medyna solidify and enhance their reputations as the prime promoters of the essential music of the Polish pianist and composer {{Krzysztof Komeda = 8459}} (1931-1969). Komeda is widely recognized as the founder of modern Polish, and in a wider sense, European modern jazz. That he worked in Poland under Communist oppression is important. At its heart, jazz is refuses to be pigeonholed, and it both allow and demands that its practitioners be utterly and freely themselves. It is this freedom that makes jazz subversive and the reason that totalitarian governments have always attempted to suppress it, since free minds cannot be controlled...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The saying might go something like, "Those ignorant of history are doomed to repeat it." For composer/bandleader Mike Reed, his knowledge of jazz history allows him the freedom to cherish and exalt the past.

Reed's prior disc, Proliferation (482 Music, 2008), revitalized Chicago jazz music from 1954-1960, covering tracks by under-appreciated artist {{Wilbur Campbell = 5508}}, {{Frank Strozier = 4682}}, {{Sun Ra = 10507}}, and {{John Jenkins = 8038}}. This first of three recordings heralded the past; a future recording will find principal players from the past playing today's music. With About Us Reed invited three contemporary Chicago musicians to supplement his quartet, People, Places and Things...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Chris McGregor (1936-1990) is best known as the pianist/leader of the Brotherhood of Breath and its small band antecedent the Blue Notes, the group that he formed in South Africa in 1963. The inter-racial band elected for a voluntary European exile from their homeland and its policies that would ban their very right to assemble. In the heady '60s, their blend of bop and Township rhythms rapidly melded with free jazz, creating one of the most dynamic musical mixes of the era...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Pianist Edgar van Asselt teams his fine trio with tenor saxophonist David Schnitter and trumpet player Nico Schepers for A Smooth Journey, an album that both swings hard and lovingly embraces. Schnitter is perhaps best known for his stint with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers in the '70s and as a hard bopper who can carry a session on his own. Here, however he is wonderfully immersed in these van Asselt originals as he converses with the catchy hooks and pairs with Schepers for quite pleasing voicings...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[For a quarter-century, Mike Barone provided arrangements for {{Doc Severinsen = 4209}}'s NBC-TV {{Tonight Show Band = 10845}}, but these were seldom heard by anyone except the studio audiences for the actual telecasts (although excerpts were audible to viewers as intros and exits from commercial breaks). Since the band's dissolution more than fifteen years ago, however, Barone has been recording many of these charts with his own Los Angeles-based ensemble, and Flight of the Bumblebee is just the latest in this string of CDs for Barone's own Rhubarb Recordings label, captured in live performance last April...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[An education can be an asset in more ways than one. Drummer/composer Mark Holub formed his band Led Bib in 2003 as part of his M.A. at Middlesex University in London, England. The initial line-up was fluid, settling down to the current one with Liran Donin (bass), Toby McLaren (keyboards), Pete Grogan (saxophone) and Chris Williams (saxophone) in 2004. From then on the band established a reputation for its quirky, off-kilter brand of music, drawing from the portals of jazz, funk, rock and electronica that it wraps in high energy impulses...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[This two-CD set is vocalist Jackie Ryan's third recording and it's definitely a keeper. On the heels of her 2007 success, You And The Night And The Music (Open Art Productions), which landed on the charts, also appears destined for success. 

 With her clear, rich voice, Ryan undoubtedly has one of jazz's great vocal instruments--no low-note warble or reedy high notes for her and with a 3-1/2 octave range, she handles each song with aplomb. In addition, she has a sure sense of phrasing and an unerring accuracy for getting to the heart of a song. To say she always swings is an under-statement...]]></description>
