The Bob Brookmeyer New Art Orchestra: Waltzing with Zoe
by Jack Bowers
Spectacular. There’s no other way to describe “Seesaw,” the opening number on the second album by Bob Brookmeyer’s German–based New Art Orchestra. A shame the Grammy Awards don’t include one for best big–band composition (even though there is a ludicrous prize for “best Jazz solo”), as “Seesaw” would win the honor going away. The highest compliment ...

But moving from a trombone to a piano with sufficient confidence to make an album with the “second" instrument is more than ...
Bob Brookmeyer: Electricity
by Douglas Payne
Electricity is another one of an infrequent series of recordings by Bob Brookmeyer, who used to pop up all over the place throughout the 1950s and 1960s. While he's always been rooted firmly in the mainstream (Gerry Mulligan, the Concert Jazz Band, the Thad Jones / Mel Lewis Orchestra and his own records on Verve), Brookmeyer ...
