Marian McPartland: Twilight World
by C. Michael Bailey
Marian McPartland can be described on one word: gracious. Listeners have been treated to weekly installments of Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz, on US National Public Radio, for the past twenty-nine years, experiencing firsthand her graciousness in her light but stubborn Berkshire accent, her unmatched interview style, and, above all, her gin-crystalline pianism. That would be impressive ...
Alan Pasqua: Lifetime's Aglow, A (non) Antisocial Interaction
by Phil DiPietro
Any discussion of Alan Pasqua must start with at the scintillating beginning of his official discography. His first recorded performance featured the then 23-year-old wunderkind of Fender Rhodes on The New Tony Williams Lifetime's Believe It (Columbia, 1975). His first sounds committed to wax were texturized Rhodes thickening “Snake Oil," then shadowing its serpentine melody as ...
Tom Scott: Cannon-Reloaded: An All Star Celebration of Cannonball Adderley
by Mark F. Turner
Anyone who's ever listened to the canon jazz release, Kind of Blue (Columbia, 1959), knows that one of the sweetest sounds ever recorded was that of alto saxophonist, Julian “Cannonball" Adderley. Cannon-Reloaded is a fitting tribute to one of jazz's quiet giants, boasting an all-star lineup in celebration of the late saxophonist's music. ...
Horace Silver: Live at Newport '58
by Greg Camphire
Blue Note continues to bless fans with hidden gems from deep in its vaults with Live at Newport '58, a previously unreleased set catching Horace Silver in the midst of his ascent as a major creative force. Featuring a transitional line-up of the pianist's revolving quintet as they headline the famed festival, the band can be ...
Cyrus Chesnut: Expounding on Elvis
by R.J. DeLuke
When the bespectacled man with the boyish round face sits down at the grand piano to play these days, listeners can still expect to hear the rich tone, jazz inflected with not only the influences of Fats Waller or McCoy Tyner, but also with a soulful element that comes from church roots. But some of the ...
Horace Silver: Live At Newport '58
by C. Michael Bailey
Horace Silver Live At Newport '58 Blue Note 2007 For a jazz artist of such longevity, pianist Horace Silver has precious few live recordings as leader. Before Paris Blues: Olympia Theater, Paris, 1962 (Fantasy, 2003) was released, Silver's single live recording was Doin' The Thing At The Village Gate (Blue ...
Eliane Elias: Something for Bill (Evans)
by R.J. DeLuke
The brilliant pianist Eliane Elias, who hails from the land of so much beautiful indigenous music, but calls American jazz her first love, has always been touched by the music of Bill Evans. It started at childhood. “The first that I remember, I was about ten or eleven years old," she says, recalling listening ...
IAJE 2008: Cool Jazz in a Cool City - Take 2
by Ken Dryden
I have been to every IAJE conference beginning in 2000 (New Orleans), but the 2008 Toronto event was a bit unusual in many ways. First of all, many of the folks I usually run into did not attend, possibly because the drop of the U.S. dollar vs. the Canadian Looney, the lack of the required passport, ...
Arturo Stable: Notes on Canvas
by Russ Musto
Like so many of his Cubano compatriots, several of whom join him on this, his second date as a leader, percussionist/composer Arturo Stable is expanding the range of what is commonly called Latin jazz--and indeed scope of jazz itself--with original compositions that are drawn from myriad musical influences and, in the case of Notes on Canvas, ...
Trio M: Big Picture
by Sean Patrick Fitzell
Superficially, the combination of pianist Myra Melford, bassist Mark Dresser and drummer Matt Wilson might seem unusual, though the three have previously commingled. Melford and Dresser are known for their work in freer contexts or exploring extended compositional forms, while Wilson--by no means a neo-traditionalist--has forged a reputation playing more established forms and grooves. After years ...
