Wes Montgomery: Echoes of Indiana Avenue
by C. Michael Bailey
In welcome fits of serendipity, the manuscripts of previously unknown European classical compositions are found in attics, old churches or forgotten libraries and brought to light with no little fanfare. In the United States, there is an equivalent situation with hitherto previously unissued jazz recordings being revealed in the most unlikely places. In a recent example, ...
Allman Brothers Band: At Fillmore East
by C. Michael Bailey
The Blues is atomic music in the respect that as a part of American Popular Music it is an indivisible element, one that cannot be deconstructed. The Blues is a part of every genre of popular music: Rock, R&B, Jazz, Country, Bluegrass, and Rap. How did the blues insinuate itself into every popular form of American ...
Todd Bishop Group: Little Played Little Bird
by C. Michael Bailey
In the twilight days of the compact disc as a sound storage device, the most compelling reason for keeping what still seems a “new" audio media (compared to wax cylinders and 78s) in the face of purely electronic media is “concept" or “thematic" releases. One such example was drummer Todd Bishop's Pop Art 4 album, 69 ...
Judi Silvano: Indigo Moods
by C. Michael Bailey
Vocalist Judi Silvano celebrates 20 years of jazz recording with the release of Indigo Moods on the Jazzed Media label. After recording in a variety of formats, with and without husband and tenor saxophonist Joe Lovano, Silvano lands here with a collection of standards that features pianist Peter Tomlinson providing the harmonic guidance and trumpeter Fred ...
Bob Dylan and the Band: Before the Flood
by C. Michael Bailey
Bob Dylan / The Band Before the Flood Reprise 1974 You walk into the room / With your pencil in your hand You see somebody naked / And you say, “who is that man?" Before the Flood was Bob Dylan's first live recording to be commercial ...
Dudley Owens / Aaron Wright Band: People Calling
by C. Michael Bailey
Saxophonist Dudley Owens and bassist Aaron Wright bring together (in classic quintet format) a band intent on expanding the language of Miles Davis's second great quintet from within. On People Calling the band does exactly this: they create a late '60s sonic image stamped in 21st Century digital. The writing is firmly post bop, with Atlantic ...
Levon Helm: 1940-2012
By C. Michael Bailey The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life. —William Faulkner It might be a hard sell to claim that Levon Helm was ...
The Band: Rock of Ages
by C. Michael Bailey
I'd rather die happy than not die at all... Even its name is an enigma—The Band: a collection of four Canadians and one Arkansan, born to back up another Arkansan, Ronnie Hawkins, as “Ronnie Hawkins and the Hawks," then Bob Dylan and then to exist as their own entity—The Band. Five disparate and different ...
Sara Leib: Secret Love
by C. Michael Bailey
Almost 10 years elapsed between West Coast singer Sara Leib's It's Not The Moon (Self Produced, 2003) and Secret Love. Leib kept occupied with teaching, most currently at Los Angeles Music Academy College of Music in Pasadena, where she gives private lessons and teaches classes on improvisation (something, as a scatter, she knows well) and chart ...
Jose Garcia: Songs For A Lifetime, Live
by C. Michael Bailey
Asking if Jose Garcia is a jazz singer is like asking the same to Frank Sinatra or Tony Bennett. The most conservative answer is “no," that they are, perhaps, “popular music stylists." They are the vehicles that introduce and reintroduce the great American songbook to a public craving the high quality craftsmanship of these songs originally ...
