Wayne Shorter: The Classic Blue Note Recordings
by Keiran Smalley
An artist undergoes many stages in his personal and creative development. Typically this can range from a period of youthful experimentation, a mid-period where he hit his professional peak, followed by the mature reflection of an old master. With Wayne Shorter, who has towered over the tenor saxophone for 40-odd years, it is difficult to assess ...
ScoLoHoFo: OH!
by AAJ Staff
There's no mistaking the potential of the lineup on OH! It's the sort of superstar quartet that should make most jazz fans tremble--and cynical reviewers cringe. I'll admit I fell into the latter category. Too many all-star groups have made one-off records that fall into the "solid" category without shooting any higher. The era of Blue ...
Wayne Shorter: The Soothsayer
by Robert Gilbert
The mid-1960's were a heady time for Wayne Shorter. Newly enshrined as the permanent heir to Coltrane in Miles Davis's working group, he was the final puzzle piece to the band that would spur Davis to some of the most fruitful years of his career. At the same time, Shorter was in the midst of recording ...
Norah Jones: Come Away With Me
by C. Michael Bailey
Few artists have generated as much press in recent memory as Ms. Norah Jones. No fewer than five thoughtful reviews have been published in this magazine alone . A unifying theme found in all criticism is the question of whether the music Jones plays is jazz. This might be similar to the question of whether the ...
Jane Bunnett: Cuban Odyssey
by Jim Santella
Traditional Cuban music and upbeat modern jazz go together like ice and water: one serves the other’s purpose in turn, while their union stands apart as a natural wonder. And where would we be without ice water? Jane Bunnett’s Cuban adventure takes her on a journey outside the city limits of Havana to places ...
Jacky Terrasson: Smile
by Jim Santella
Each of the ten albums that Jacky Terrasson has issued since he won the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Piano Competition in 1993 has grown logically out of its predecessor. Smile moves forward from À Paris to encompass an eclectic program where jazz standards are mixed with pop songs. It’s the kind of program one might find ...
ScoLoHoFo: OH!
by Paul Abella
When I first picked up the new ScoLoHoFo album, OH!, the first thing I thought of, strangely enough, were, other artists who I was glad weren't on the album. Paul Motian for one, because then the album could have been called “ScoLoHoMo,” which would have been incredibly un-PC; or if Foster and Motian were both involved, ...
Jacky Terrasson: Smile
by Mark F. Turner
The stream of imaginative energy flows strong and true on Jacky Terrasson’s new recording, simply entitled Smile. The dazzling jazz pianist performs with panache and exuberance, adding his unique touch to a diverse mixture of contemporary and classic standards. The music remains true to Terrasson’s form, as it is somewhat of a return to the trio ...
