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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
Miles Davis: Miles Davis at Carnegie Hall
by C. Michael Bailey
Pilgrimage Back to Miles. Miles Davis is the single most important figure in jazz music history. There. I said it. I have read a truck load of music criticism addressing a collection of the most influential jazz musicians, but no critic has ever gone out on a limb to name the single most important figure. So, ...
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 ...
Wynton Marsalis: The Midnight Blues: Standard Time, Volume 5
by Jim Santella
With pianist Eric Reed, bassist Reginald Veal, drummer Lewis Nash and a 42-piece string orchestra, trumpeter Wynton Marsalis has released a session of romantic standards, continuing the set of Standard Time volumes released earlier in his career. Bringing his trumpet's unique voice to the microphone, Marsalis combines his pure tone, squeezed notes, and a soulful vibrato ...
Henry Threadgill & Make A Move: Where's Your Cup?
by AAJ Staff
Avant-garde jazzmen who record for major labels are the exception instead of the rule. At Columbia, the main exception is Henry Threadgill--a risk-taker who incorporated elements of circus music on his last album, Carry The Day. The alto saxman and Chicago native continues to be influenced by circus music on Where's Your Cup, which has its ...
