Joe Bushkin: In Concert Town Hall

Read "In Concert Town Hall" reviewed by David Rickert

by David Rickert
May 25, 2003

Piano jazz is a lot like pizza; even when it's terrible, it's still fairly good. Case in point is Joe Bushkin, a fine pianist for Eddie Condon who later watered down his style to appeal to a mass audience in concerts such as this 1963 performance. One can almost hear more passionate pianists shaking their fist ...

Shorty Rogers: Bossa Nova/Jazz Waltz

Read "Bossa Nova/Jazz Waltz" reviewed by David Rickert

May 12, 2003

Like Stan Kenton, Shorty Rogers led a big band that featured some of the greatest names in West Coast jazz. No less than Shelley Manne, Jimmy Giuffre, and Bob Shank appeared on early classics like The Big Shorty Rogers Express and Portrait of Shorty. However, Rogers’ band always seemed like a lot more fun to be ...

Joe Zawinul: The Rise & Fall of the Third Stream

Read "The Rise & Fall of the Third Stream" reviewed by David Rickert

May 10, 2003

Fans of either genre remained content to keep their music free from the perceived impurities of the other.

Eddie Condon: Jam Session Coast To Coast/Jammin

Read "Jam Session Coast To Coast/Jammin" reviewed by David Rickert

by David Rickert
May 9, 2003

The biggest obstacle with the 78 format was its running time; what solos were allowed had to be brief and only crudely approximated the energy generated during a live performance. Thus Eddie Condon must have welcomed the LP era, which allowed him to indulge in the lengthy jam sessions allowed in clubs and concert halls. The ...

Eddie Condon: Midnight in Moscow/The Roaring Twenties

Read "Midnight in Moscow/The Roaring Twenties" reviewed by David Rickert

by David Rickert
May 9, 2003

One luxury afforded Eddie Condon on the LP era was the concept album, which he explored on the two releases featured on this collection. Midnight in Moscow has the more unconvincing gimmick of the two (songs pertaining to specific countries), but is really quite good, due in large part to the double threat of Peanuts Hucko ...

Johnny Hartman: The Perception Years

by AAJ Staff
January 22, 2003

On this two-fer disc of early '70s albums Today and I’ve Been There, the voice that went almost note for note with John Coltrane does what he does best and more (or less). Though chock full of Mercer-ized timeless ballads, this oft-dynamic duo also offers more dated and perhaps less well chosen selections. The albums range ...
