Bill Evans: The Dolphin
Today, I'd like to return to multiple flutes in a jazz setting. In previous posts, I looked at several albums that featured this construct, including Buddy Collette's two albums with the Swinging Shepherds (here) and Henry Mancini's Fluter's Ball, Herbie Mann's I've Told Every Little Star and Nelson Riddle's arrangements for Frank Sinatra on I Guess ...

Tony Bennett and Bill Evans
In 2009, the last time I wrote about the two albums recorded by Bill Evans and Tony Bennett (The Tony Bennett/Bill Evans Album in 1975 and Together Again in 1976), I was rather hard on the work, viewing the albums as an overrated, operatic mess. Back then, I found the pairing to be a mismatch—two great ...
Sarah Riedel: Living Up To Expectations
by James Pearse
The world of jazz is no stranger to the sound of the Swedish language. Alice Babs and Monica Zetterlund--and more recently, Rigmor Gustafsson--are just a few of the names of jazz vocalists hailing from this cold northern country that have reached the ears of US and UK audiences. Some people believe that spoken Swedish ...

Alessandro Galati Trio: Seals
by Neri Pollastri
Dopo aver esordito giusto vent'anni fa con un piano trio che lo vedeva affiancato nientemeno che da Palle Danielsson e Peter Erskine e aver lavorato continuativamente in trio con altri due “mostri sacri" come Arild Andersen e Paolo Vinaccia, il pianista fiorentino Alessandro Galati ha stavolta messo assieme un trio del quale è pienamente leader, con ...
Peter Davenport: Bolide
by Dave Wayne
Peter Davenport's Bolide is the sort of album that often flies completely under the radar. It's what record collectors call a private issue; completely self-produced, self-distributed and available on a very small scale; generally only through the artist. Nevertheless, Bolide is a worthwhile listening experience. While not a familiar name to me prior to hearing this ...

1959: The Most Creative Year in Jazz
by Nathan Holaway
1959 was arguably the most creative year in all of jazz history. Bird had already passed away, and this year would see the passings of Lester Young and Billie Holiday. Musically speaking, when we read jazz history texts or see the labels among the many diverse styles of jazz (i.e “Free Jazz," “Modal Jazz," “Third Stream," ...
Art Pepper: Neon Art: Volume 3
by C. Michael Bailey
This concludes the Neon Art series, whose life began as three vinyl LP releases in 2012. Wisely, Pepper's widow, Laurie Pepper and co-producer Cheryl Pawelski decided to re-issue these performances on CD. Neon Art, Volume 1 and Neon Art, Volume 2 preceded Volume 3 in as many months. The Neon Art performances are ...
