Denny Zeitlin: Early Wayne: Explorations of Classic Wayne Shorter Compositions
by Budd Kopman
Early Wayne has many things going for it: it is a well recorded, live concert; pianist Denny Zeitlin, who has been recording for over fifty years, is masterful to the point of completely taking over the listening space, and, last but not least, the material used as the base for his improvisation is a set of ...
Denny Zeitlin: Early Wayne: Explorations of Classic Wayne Shorter Compositions
by Dan McClenaghan
Pianist Denny Zeitlin's career in music started just a bit after saxophonist Wayne Shorter showed up on the scene. Shorter's debut album, Introducing Wayne Shorter (Vee Jay Records) arrived in 1959. Zeiltin's introduction to the jazz listening public came in 1963, in a sideman stint on flutist Jeremy Steig's Flute Fever (Columbia Records). A year later, ...
Jazz Music Is Ecstatic Language
by David Arivett
Leonardo DaVinci once said, “Do you know that our souls are composed of music?" Music and religion are intimately linked, and music is one of the most powerful tools to convey religious meaning. As human beings, we have been given the gift of musical language which can help transform us from our humdrum, everyday existence, into ...

Jerry Granelli: What I Hear Now
by Vincenzo Roggero
What I Hear Now è un gioiellino di eleganza, sobrietà, passione, musicalità. Al settantaquatrenne Jerry Granelli sono sufficienti trentotto minuti scarsi per mettere in campo una vita dedicata alla musica -quella senza confini e senza barriere, dalle session free della San Francisco anni sessanta alle sedute psichedeliche con Sly Stone passando per gli storici trio con ...
Jerry Granelli: What I Hear Now
by Dan McClenaghan
The simple answer to the question that drummer Jerry Granelli poses on What I Hear Now is “horns." He hears horns over the foundation of his regular trio with saxophonist Dani Oore and bassist Simon Fisk who uses the 3 string bassetto here. The mix is three reeds, including tenor saxophonist Mike Murley, joined by a ...
Denny Zeitlin: Riding the Moment
by Dan McClenaghan
The album Switched-On Bach (Columbia Records, 1968), by Walter (now Wendy) Carlos was a seminal introduction to synthesized music. Carlos used the then new MOOG Synthesizer to painstakingly construct the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. Love it or hate it seemed to be the reaction, without much opinion in between. But one thing for certain, the ...
Jerry Granelli: What I Hear Now
by Dan Bilawsky
This is what master drummer Jerry Granelli hears now: a wide variety of left-of-center music that circumvents strict harmonic corralling, thanks to the absence of guitar or piano, and makes good use of multiple horns. Of course, if you catch Granelli a few months down the road, he might hear something completely different. ...
Claire Ritter: Soho Solo
by Dan McClenaghan
Almost any jazz pianist you can think of has taken a shot at the solo recording. Keith Jarrett explores uncharted territory with his wholly improvised approach. Denny Zeitlin and Fred Hersch examine the Standards and some of their own outstanding compositions. Brad Mehldau brings more modern musical mix with his own distinctive tunes stirred up with ...
Drums and Piano: Denny Zeitlin and Kasper Tom
by Jakob Baekgaard
The meeting between drums and piano is one of the more rare combinations in jazz, but it is possible to find fine examples of this particular genre. Just think of the encounter between Italian pianist Enrico Pieranunzi and drummer Paul Motian on Flux & Change (Soul Note, 1995) and Australian pianist Mike Nock's collaboration with drummer ...
