Larry Fuller: Larry Fuller

by Dan Bilawsky
August 27, 2014

Bassist Ray Brown sure knew how to pick his pianists. While each player who manned the 88s in Brown's trio displayed a different personality, all had Swiss watch timing and shared an affinity for the blues and effulgent swing. It didn't take more than a few seconds to hear that when Gene Harris was on the ...

Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra: The L.A. Treasures Project

by Dr. Judith Schlesinger
July 18, 2014

The exciting opener of this CD--the high-swinging welcome of “I Love Being Here with You"--foreshadows the next 64 minutes of tight, crackling arrangements that are impeccably rendered and full of joy. The Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra, (CHJO) founded in 1985, has always been known for its full-hearted, world-class playing. The “L.A Treasures" of this title refers to ...

Ali Ryerson Jazz Flute Big Band: Game Changer

by Angelo Leonardi
July 10, 2014

Non sarà tra quelli che segnano una tappa nella storia del jazz ma i pregi di questo disco sono molti e forse detiene un primato. È uno dei rari album, forse l'unico con un'organico così ampio, a presentare un'orchestra di soli flautisti, eccetto i tre componenti della sezione ritmica. Una decina d'anni fa Ali ...

Ken Peplowski: Maybe September

by Angelo Leonardi
June 24, 2014

Si colloca in una dimensione sospesa nel limbo dei ricordi, quest'album di Ken Peplowski, senza appartenere strettamente a un'epoca e il celebre quadro in copertina (Gas di Edward Hopper) ne raffigura i tratti in modo esemplare. In quell'opera si vede una stazione di servizio della provincia americana d'anteguerra, posta in un luogo indefinito sul ...

Holly Hofmann: Low Life: The Alto Flute Project

by Dan McClenaghan
May 10, 2014

Holly Hofmann, one of the jazz world's premier flutists, explores a deeper-toned territory with Low Life: The Alto Flute Project. Primarily a conventional C flautist--with an impressive discography--Hofmann has broken out the lower tone of the alto flute in her concerts, and occasionally on record. Now it's time for a full length CD featuring her expertise ...

Furthering The Flute In Jazz: Holly Hofmann and Bill McBirnie

by Dan Bilawsky
May 9, 2014

Long gone are the days when the flute was only seen as a jazz novelty or a saxophonist's double. Once upon a time you could count the number of notable jazz flautists on a hand (or two), but the ranks have swelled a little bit over the years, and those leading the charge today aren't content ...

The Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra: The L.A. Treasures Project:Live at Alvas Showroom

by Jack Bowers
April 15, 2014

The “L.A. Treasures" heralded herein are singers Ernie Andrews (eighty-six years young when the album was recorded in September 2013) and Barbara Morrison (a relative novice at sixty-one). The idea to record sprang from rehearsals earlier that year by the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra in which Andrews and Morrison were invited to sit in. Afterward, co-leader John ...
