Lou Donaldson: Lush Life
by Hrayr Attarian
Artists sometimes step out of character and produce a work that's not in the style for which they have come to be associated. The results are often intriguing if not always successful, and are a testament to their versatility. Such is the case with altoist Lou Donaldson's Lush Life, reissued after being given the ...
Fabrizio Bosso: You've Changed
by AAJ Italy Staff
Diciamo la verità, siamo in un periodo in cui gran parte delle ultime produzioni sul versante jazzistico non è all’altezza delle aspettative e quindi quando ci si trova a dover parlare di dischi come questo non può che fare un immenso piacere. Fabrizio Bosso, talento torinese ormai proiettato nell’olimpo dei grandi, ci regala una splendida opera ...
Charles Tolliver Big Band: With Love
by AAJ Italy Staff
Trombettista tra i più interessanti degli anni Sessanta, a fianco di Jackie McLean come di Andew Hill, animatore poi dell'etichetta Strata-East insieme al pianista Stanley Cowell, Charles Tolliver è recentemente tornato all'attenzione degli appassionati, principalmente per la sua intensa partecipazione a Time Lines, l'ultimo, straordinario, capolavoro del compianto Andrew Hill. La Blue Note offre ora a ...
Andrew Hill: Compulsion!!!!!
by Norman Weinstein
The five exclamation marks following the word Compulsion are completely appropriate for a title. Of all the distinguished albums of Andrew Hill's career as a pianist/composer, this is arguably the most passionately executed. The monumentality of this recording can best be realized by looking at its recording date of 1965. Coltrane was leaving his classic quartet ...
Johnny Griffin: The Congregation
by Samuel Chell
A highly regarded recording in the impressive discography of Johnny Griffin, this recently remastered RVG edition of The Congregation is more likely to appeal to the faithful than win many new converts. On this 1957 session, the “world's fastest tenor sets aside his gun-slinging ways in favor of comparatively restrained, straightforward preaching, consisting of some basic, ...
Kenny Werner: Lawn Chair Society
by Terrell Kent Holmes
Keyboardist Kenny Werner's ambitious work Lawn Chair Society is an amalgam of straight-ahead jazz, R&B and funk, skillfully blending the avant-garde, the accessible and the modernistic. The rush-hour scatting of Dave Douglas' cornet and Chris Potter's bass clarinet on “Lo's Garden and the postmodern “New Amsterdam, featuring Potter's gritty tenor, set the CD's tone. The tight ...
Duke Pearson: The Right Touch
by AAJ Italy Staff
Solista di secondo piano, dietro i numerosi mostri sacri che negli anni sessanta popolavano la scuderia Blue Note, Duke Pearson ha spesso fornito a questi ultimi il proprio contributo di pianista e soprattutto di arrangiatore. Diventato per un certo periodo produttore della prestigiosa etichetta, ha inciso una manciata di album a proprio nome che ne confermarono ...
Charles Tolliver Big Band: With Love
by Troy Collins
With Love, Charles Tolliver's first official Blue Note session as a leader, brings the under-sung trumpeter's career full circle. His recording debut on Jackie McLean's '64 Blue Note classic It's Time, led to fruitful partnerships with many of the era's finest bandleaders, culminating in his formation of the Strata-East label with pianist Stanley Cowell in '71. ...
Duke Pearson: The Right Touch
by Hrayr Attarian
Don't judge a book by its cover the old saying goes, but how about judging a record by its title? Rarely a title is as appropriate for a recording as with pianist Duke Pearson's The Right Touch, recently reissued by Blue Note as part of the Rudy Van Gelder (RVG) Edition series. The six tunes, all ...
Aa.Vv.: Billy Strayhorn: Lush Life
by AAJ Italy Staff
Strettissimo collaboratore di Duke Ellington per quasi trent’anni, Billy Strayhorn è uno dei grandi autori della storia del jazz. Basta scorrere i titoli dei brani contenuti in questo album per rinfrescarsi la memoria. Oggi, a quarant’anni dalla sua scomparsa, l’etichetta Blue Note pubblica questo CD, nel quale alcune delle sue più famose composizioni vengono interpretate da ...
