Ray Charles & the Count Basie Orchestra: Ray Sings, Basie Swings
by Martin Gladu
There is no recipe for success...or is there? Concord's Ray Sings, Basie Swings, reminiscent of past crossover duos, draws upon state-of-the-art technological means to propose a premium posthumous montage. Does this sound formulaic and forced? Maybe, but in the end, they credibly made it more musically attractive than say, yet another best of greatest hits compilation.
Sonny Stitt: Stitt
by George Kanzler
Are ideas floating out there to be had by anyone? Or do they emanate exclusively from specific individuals? And how do they apply to the creation and development of bebop? Sonny Stitt is at the heart of this conundrum. As an alto saxophonist, he always fell under the shadow of Charlie Parker and was often accused ...
Vince Guaraldi: A Charlie Brown Christmas
by Jim Santella
This 1965 soundtrack has become ingrained in our minds through repeated leisurely holiday seasons with the family in the living room. They're great memories, brought to us by a stellar jazz piano trio that was always on top of the situation. Together, they gave us a no-nonsense setting. Each traditional Christmas song and each Guaraldi original ...
John Patitucci: Line By Line
by Martin Gladu
Perhaps because of his extensive association with iconic leaders like Chick Corea, Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock, John Patitucci was deservingly given carte blanche by Concord Records ten years ago. The versatile bassist remains a first-call player on both the acoustic and electric instruments, as well as a role model to many aspiring bassists (exemplified by ...
Vince Guaraldi: A Charlie Brown Christmas
by David Rickert
If you were born in the sixties or later, there's a good chance that your first exposure to jazz was through the Peanuts Christmas special. Today the whimsical music of Vince Guaraldi seems inseparable from this holiday classic, but it almost didn't happen that way; producer Lee Mendelson originally envisioned either Dave Brubeck or Cal Tjader ...
Ben Riley's Monk Legacy Septet: Memories of T
by J Hunter
Thelonious Monk's place in jazz is quite intact. In addition to the archival efforts of his son, drummer T.S. Monk, plenty of players have overcome the intimidation factor that goes with tackling Monk's singular sound. The issue is not whether Monk covers appear with the same frequency as covers of Ellington or Armstrong; rather, it is ...
John Patitucci: Line by Line
by J Hunter
After the brilliant chaos of the Wayne Shorter quartet, it's entirely understandable that John Patitucci would want to try something a little more sedate. Line by Line gives the versatile bassist a chance to go places we might not expect. The trip is interesting, though the destinations sometimes are not. Patitucci is all over ...
John Patitucci: Line by Line
by Jim Santella
With guitarist Adam Rogers and drummer Brian Blade, John Patitucci explores jazz's modern mainstream on this program of original compositions that comes complemented by several timeless pieces from the larger pantheon. They're joined with saxophonist Chris Potter for a part of the program, while Patitucci works with a small string ensemble on two other selections. He ...
Scott Hamilton: Nocturnes & Serenades
by Nic Jones
Scott Hamilton doesn't fix a thing here, but then when nothing's broke, there's no need to make such an effort, especially when what he does instead is prove that he has spent decades becoming himself. There are here no more than residual echoes of all the tenor sax players who've mined this fertile musical seam in ...
