Ron Carter: Dear Miles
by John Barron
There certainly hasn't been a shortage of artists recording tributes to Miles Davis since the trumpeter's death in 1991. The list includes contributions as diverse as Benny Golson's I Remember Miles (Milestone, 1992), Henry Kaiser and Wadada Leo Smith's Yo Miles! (Shanachie, 1998) and Cassandra Wilson's Traveling Miles (Blue Note, 1999). Almost forty years since parting ...
Ron Carter: Dear Miles,
by J Hunter
The fact that the late iconic trumpeter Miles Davis still generates controversy is a real indicator of his earth-shaking impact on the genre. What's your favorite Miles debate: Acoustic Miles, or Electric Miles? Kind of Blue (Legacy, 1959), or Bitches Brew Legacy, 1969)? Bill Evans, or Bill Evans? Tutu: An affront to all that's good and ...
Bill Charlap Trio: Live at the Village Vanguard
by Jim Santella
Recorded in September 2003, this program includes several standards, giving a sense of familiarity to its essence. Pianist Bill Charlap enjoys a mellow groove. He squeezes the melody out of the piano as if it were coming from a rose petal. Nothing stands in his way as he sends each lyrical theme on its way. With ...
Kenny Drew: Undercurrent
by Samuel Chell
The only Blue Note recording under pianist Kenny Drew's leadership and the last to be released under his name for a thirteen-year period, during which time the pianist would relocate to Europe, Undercurrent is a strong outing by the gifted pianist, composer and session leader. In the latter capacity, his job is greatly facilitated by a ...
Robert Glasper: In My Element
by J Hunter
One night in 2006 the Robert Glasper Trio was tearing it up onstage, with pianist Glasper painting hypnotic patterns over the frenetic groove of drummer Damion Reid bassist and Vicente Archer. About an hour in, people started walking out--first in ones and twos, then in groups. It wasn't Ornette Coleman getting punched in the face by ...
Bill Charlap Trio: Live at the Village Vanguard
by J Hunter
Bill Charlap is a tremendous player in concert. He leans into a solo like a sailor tacking into the wind during a Pacific gale; his hands can disappear into a blur, and they can touch the keys with a delicacy usually reserved for surgeons and safecrackers. Regardless of approach, the results are usually breathtaking, making Charlap's ...
Ayse Tütüncü Trio: Panayir / Carnivalesque
by AAJ Italy Staff
Trio atipico sotto molteplici punti di vista, questo messo insieme dalla pianista Ayse Tütüncü. Innanzitutto, atipico per la nazionalità: non sono molte le formazioni turche alla ribalta sullo scenario internazionale - e, si osservi, questo bel lavoro è registrato nientemeno che per la Blue Note. Poi, atipico per la formazione, che vede due ance affiancate al ...
Steve Kuhn Trio: Live At Birdland
by Geoff Mirelowitz
If Steve Kuhn's name does not immediately spring to mind when considering the most talented pianists on the jazz scene today, this album should change that. Live at Birdland, with bassist Ron Carter and drummer Al Foster confirms that jazz is first and foremost an art of live performance. This disc also demonstrates how the magic ...
Andrew Hill: Compulsion!!!!!
by AAJ Staff
The news of Andrew Hill's passing Apr. 20, 2007 at age 75 has shaken the jazz world to the core, bringing many to pause and reflect, then head straight for the pianist's extensive now-available discography. Blue Note Records documented his every step from 1963-70 with over a dozen recordings and, with his most recent return to ...
Kenny Werner: Lawn Chair Society
by John Kelman
Kenny Werner is best-known as an acoustic pianist, but he's no stranger to other keyboards. Still, Lawn Chair Society's greater emphasis on electronics will no doubt come as a surprise to those who know him through solo piano outings like Live at Maybeck Recital Hall (Concord, 1994) or the more recent post-bop of Democracy: Live at ...
