Art Blakey: Holiday for Skins
by Francis Lo Kee
Holiday for Skins is not totally unique in drummer Art Blakey's output, as the drummer was most famous for some of the greatest hard bop era records ever made with his Jazz Messengers. Though not a Jazz Messengers recording, this original double volume definitely has Blakey's strong personal, percussive stamp. The cover states this is “a ...
Stacey Kent: Breakfast On The Morning Tram
by Andrew Velez
Having previously demonstrated a knowing way with sets from the Great American Songbook and a special bent for Brazilian-flavored melodies, vocalist Stacey Kent takes on a different sort of mix here. And succeeds brilliantly, which shouldn't surprise anyone who has been listening to her, for this porcelain princess has gradually moved into the front rank of ...
Jacky Terrasson: Mirror
by Doug Collette
In a tenure with the vaunted Blue Note label that has produced ten full-length CDs in a variety of settings and production styles, Jacky Terrasson has never recorded a solo piano album. After a hiatus of sorts, the pianist/composer /bandleader has completed that project, though not without some self-admitted soul- searching, creative and otherwise. The wait, ...
Jacky Terrasson: Mirror
by J Hunter
Jacky Terrasson's claim that he hadn't recorded a solo-piano disc before because he “wasn't ready to take it on is mind boggling, since he has excelled at everything he's attempted: Berklee School of Music, the Monk Competition, his first pro gig as Betty Carter's pianist, and his collaborations with heavy hitters like Cassandra Wilson and Stefon ...
Jacky Terrasson: Mirror
by Andrew Velez
Pianist Jacky Terrasson has been on a recording hiatus since his 2003 set Smile (Blue Note), but he's back and swinging with this, his first solo outing, revealingly rich in tempos and colors. Terrasson has an ample supply of virile dynamics that can skillfully dip and slide into all sorts of places and moods. It happens ...
The Bill Charlap Trio: Live At The Village Vanguard
by Marcia Hillman
Bill Charlap delivers on this live date with a trio documented on four previous Blue Note releases. Recorded at the Village Vanguard during the club's weeklong 70th anniversary celebration, this CD pulls together a tasty selection of material and even tastier performances. Charlap with Peter Washington (bass) and Kenny Washington (drums) have worked together for a ...
Ike Quebec: Bossa Nova Soul Samba
by Chris May
This is quite a painful disc to listen to. Not because of the music--which is beautiful--but because of the events surrounding it. Recorded in October 1962, it was to be tenor saxophonist Ike Quebec's final album. Less than four months later he died of lung cancer. This fact rather sticks in the mind like a house ...
Charles Mingus Sextet [with Eric Dolphy]: Cornell 1964
by AAJ Italy Staff
Chissà dove si trovava questo nastro! In qualche cassetto, magari tra un maglione fuori moda e un fascicolo di vecchie carte! O c'è una forza magica e misteriosa che fa riapparire ogni tanto, come bolle sulla superficie di una pozza immobile, dei frammenti della storia musicale del Novecento e ce li restituisce come pietre preziose. Cronologicamente ...
Charles Mingus Sextet with Eric Dolphy: Cornell 1964
by Mark F. Turner
The hype factor was cranked up considerably in 2005 for the unearthed recording of two jazz legends: John Coltrane and Thelonious Monk's At Carnegie Hall (Blue Note). Things have cooled down a tad since that momentous release but just as exciting and equally important is Cornell 1964 featuring the Charles Mingus Sextet with Eric Dolphy.
Jacky Terrasson: Mirror
by Mark Corroto
If you had to write a headline for the career of Jacky Terrasson it might be “from brash to brilliant." The forty-something pianist took the jazz world by storm, winning the Thelonious Monk piano competition in 1993 only to make some impetuous records that wowed you with his talent. But they didn't register high with their ...
