Gerry Mulligan: Mullenium
by Jack Bowers
Here’s baritone saxophonist Gerry Mulligan as big–band conductor/composer/arranger/player with his own ensemble and others led by Elliot Lawrence and Gene Krupa. These radiant sessions, recorded between 1946–57, show that Gerry was comfortably at home in any setting from pianoless quartet to full–fledged orchestra (big bands, in fact, were his early proving ground) and serve as a ...
Thelonious Monk: Monk Alone: The Complete Columbia Solo Recordings: 1926 - 1968
by C. Michael Bailey
Not a Reissue. The venerable Orrin Keepnews informs the liner note reader right off the bat that this two-CD set of solo Monk music is not a reissue. It is comprised of all of the solo piano performances prepared during Monk's association with Columbia. Collected are the solo performances that occurred on otherwise ensemble ...
Herbie Hancock & Chick Corea: An Evening With Herbie Hancock & Chick Corea
by C. Michael Bailey
Pianoforte. Turning forty entitles the birthday person to a couple of acquired appreciations. One for good cigars and the second is for music listened to but not understood in adolescence. An Evening With Herbie Hancock & Chick Corea is just such music. I was sixteen and bored with Southern Rock and decided I would try jazz ...
David Sanchez: Obsession
by John Sharpe
It comes as no surprise that David Sanchez, who was born in Puerto Rico and started playing tenor at age 12, would want to fill Obsesion with compositions from his homeland, Brazil and Cuba. These are the sounds he grew up with. The only tune by a non-Latin American is Cuban Fantasy, written by American pianist ...
Chet Baker: Chet Baker and Strings
by C. Michael Bailey
With Strings. I have been listening to a several recordings of Jazz artists performing with a string section, including: Clifford Brown With Strings (Emarcy 814 642), Charlie Parker with Strings (Verve 314 523), Art Pepper's Winter Moon (OJC 677), Wynton Marsalis' Midnight Blues: Standard Time Volume 5 (Columbia 68921), and most recently, Chet Baker and Strings ...
Geoff Keezer: Turn Up The Quiet
by John Sharpe
Turn Up The Quiet is an eclectic mix of standards, pop tunes and even, Japanese folk songs. Keezer hooks up with hot-shot sidemen Christian McBride (bass) and Joshua Redman (tenor) on three tracks, adds vocalist Diana Krall on three and goes it alone on three more. Krall's sultry, smoky rendition of The Nearness Of You, enhanced ...
Charles Mingus: The Complete 1959 Columbia Recordings
by Joel Roberts
Charles Mingus was by all accounts an ornery and demanding man who frequently made life hell for those around him, including his fellow musicians. But there's no denying that he also made some of the most joyful and soulful music in jazz history. Some of the best of that music is captured in this three-disc set ...
Wynton Marsalis: The Midnight Blues
by John Sharpe
I wasn’t fond of Wynton’s first “with strings" session (Hot House Flowers, 1984) and I’m not overly enthusiastic over this second attempt either. Once again, Robert Freedman’s string arrangements add a hefty dose of sugar coating to a collection of very well known ballads. Marsalis is a masterful technician and his playing, as always, is clean, ...
Wynton Marsalis: The Midnight Blues: Standard Time Volume 5
by C. Michael Bailey
In his book, Lives of the Great Composers, Harold C. Schonberg titles each composer's life with a short, densely descriptive phrase. He titles the chapter on Johannes Brahms, “Keeper of the Flame." He opens the chapter with this comparison of Richard Wagner, J.S. Bach and Brahms: “Wagner was a revolutionary, spearheading the future. Brahms was the ...
