Aaron Diehl: Trio and Quartet
I spent the day yesterday writing and listening to pianist Aaron Diehl's new album, The Bespoke Man's Narrative (Mack Ave.). I love Diehl's chord voicings and acute sense of drama. In his playing, you can hear the suspense of Red Garland and patience of Ahmad Jamal. And yet he sounds like himself. Diehl's trio here features ...
Aaron Diehl: The Bespoke Man's Narrative
by Mark F. Turner
The reference to some exquisitely dressed man in the title of this release also conveys the stylistic bent of pianist Aaron Diehl's noteworthy debut on Mack Avenue. He is among a list of rising jazz pianists which include Gerald Clayton and Aaron Parks. The recording brings to life a project that was conceived in Indianapolis after ...
Buddy Rich: In a Zone of His Own
by Jack Bowers
One of the channels that came with my Dish Network package is Classic Arts Showcase, which is a treasure trove of film clips documenting classical, ballet, folk, pop and other forms of music that one is unlikely to see anywhere else (although some footage is presumably available on YouTube, which more and more seems to encompass ...
Pianist Aaron Diehl to Make Mack Avenue Records and Studio Debut with Captivating New Album, the Bespoke Man's Narrative, Available March 19
In fashion circles, the adjective “bespoke” denotes custom-made suits and shirts and signifies the person who designs and constructs them. On The Bespoke Man’s Narrative, his brilliant Mack Avenue Records debut, pianist Aaron Diehl extrapolates this notion to matters of musical invention. “The idea for the metaphor was that the composition and concept were specifically for ...
Bob Brookmeyer: Jack of All Trades, Master of Valves
by Jack Bowers
Bob Brookmeyer, a Renaissance man among jazz musicians who died December 15, 2011, four days before his eighty-second birthday, will be remembered as many things: composer, arranger, musician, educator, outspoken arbiter who brooked no nonsense and wasn't shy about letting others know when he believed they were not giving the music he loved the best they ...
Warren Wolf: The Wizard of Vibes
by R.J. DeLuke
Warren Wolf has made his name by playing the vibes, which he does with aplomb. He's as much a virtuoso on the instrument as anyone, even including his jazz elders. That may be, in part, because he was influenced by the sound of Milt Jackson and studied with one of the best in Dave Samuels, while ...

Aaron Diehl
In a section of a Hank Jones master class DVD that was a 2008 Doug's Pick, Jones critiqued budding jazz pianists. One of them was a 21-year-old Julliard graduate named Aaron Diehl. For Jones, Diehl played “I Cover The Waterfront" and Art Tatum's arrangement of Massenet's “Elegy." Apart from a slight reservation about Diehl's use of ...
Pushing Back: Jazz Notes Against the Current
The young pianist Aaron Diehl is putting his talent against the odds. What hes up to with his trio, which played at Smalls on Tuesday night, isnt new in the temporal sense or new in the art-movement sense, which is to say it isnt confrontational or puzzling. It was a set that sounded as if it ...
