Allman Brothers Band & Little Feat: Jam Today, Jam Tomorrow
by C. Michael Bailey
The Allman Brothers Band has more than just a few things in common with Little Feat. Both bands were formed in the pivotal year 1969, two years after the Monterey Festival and the summer of love, the same year as the Woodstock Festival, and three years prior to the release of Rolling Stones' last significant work, ...
Joan Stiles and Lisa Hilton: Two New York States Of Mind
by C. Michael Bailey
New York City pianist/vocalist Joan Stiles and Malibu pianist Lisa Hilton have something in common: their taste in men...musical sidemen, that is. Alto saxophonist Steve Wilson, trumpeter Jeremy Pelt and drummer Lewis Nash show up amongst the sextet and quintet featured, respectively, on Stile's Hurly-Burly and Hilton's New York Sessions. Despite their part-shared personnels, these recordings ...
Widespread Panic in Little Rock, Arkansas
by C. Michael Bailey
Widespread Panic Riverfront Amphitheater Little Rock, Arkansas July 10, 2007 Almost a month to the day that Little Feat appeared at the Little Rock Riverfront Amphitheater before an enthusiastic crowd of late baby-boomers and their children, a very similarly constituted, yet very different sounding, band appeared at the ...
Steve Cole: True
by C. Michael Bailey
Let's face it, the music genre(s) known as “Smooth Jazz or “Adult Contemporary Jazz or “Nu-Jazz (if, in fact, they are different genres) demonstrate little critical appeal among those who consider themselves “serious jazz enthusiasts. Elevator Music, Muzak, Weather Channel Music, whatever, Smooth Jazz gets precious little respect...as well it deserves. As a branch of jazz, ...
Little Feat in Little Rock
by C. Michael Bailey
Little Feat Riverfront Amphitheater Little Rock, Arkansas June 11, 2007 During early June in Little Rock, it is nearly impossible not to anticipate John Milton's scorching, punishing Hell (Chain'd on the burning Lake) that is surely to come in August. But this particular spring night on the bank ...
Tangria Jazz Group: Mebane's Eleven: Tunes for Two
by C. Michael Bailey
The Tangria Jazz Group is ostensibly a jazz piano trio made up of brainiacs from all over the map. Drummer and composer Dr. Sheryl Mebane is an environmental chemist, bassist Justin Hellman is a product of the music department at the University of California, Berkeley where keyboardist Simon Rochester is currently conducting physics research. So, what ...
35 Days in May: Bo Bo Bazinsky In the Bronx
by C. Michael Bailey
One of the most attractive things about jazz in the 21st Century is its polyglot nature. No longer is it the music of the classic trumpet-tenor saxophone quintet playing transmogrified blues and show tunes. Today, influences as disparate at Eastern Indian drones and Karl Stockhausen electronica, are tossed into the beaker on the stir plate with ...
Andreas Hagiioannu: Far and Wide
by C. Michael Bailey
Guitarist Andreas Hagiioannu is not content to merely play standards and regurgitate multiple styles of jazz guitar. No, he would rather compose in these various jazz idioms--he does so very well. His chosen combo format is the classic trio where he is joined by bassist Dirk Griffin and drummer Alan Savage. Hagiioannu performs ...
Octobop: Very Early
by C. Michael Bailey
What's cool about Octobop, besides the band's clever name and conception, is the beautifully retro nature of its music. An octet is the middle child, in between a small combo and a big band. Smaller groups have long been a favorite format of arrangers and Very Early is very much an arranger's collection. ...
Komeda Project: Crazy Girl
by C. Michael Bailey
In a too brief but productive life, Krzysztof Komeda (1931-1969) composed in excess of forty film scores. These film scores include such Polish cinematic gems as Roman Polanski's Knife in the Water and Andrzej Wajda's Innocent Sorcerers. Komeda's first score for the screen was Polanski's first film, Two Men and a Wardrobe (1958). In the same ...
