Webb T's Fleet: Live At Zanzibar Blue
by AAJ Staff
With “Live At Zanzibar Blue", not only has Encounter Records called the listening public's attention to an energetic and inspiring drummer who has been performing below the radar screen of listeners beyond the Philadelphia area for way too long. But also, the label has captured the atmosphere of a live organ quartet performance--which of late has ...
Darryl Hall: Subtle Touch
by AAJ Staff
While bassist Darryl Hall is more than a known quantity among the Philadelphia jazz community, he’s starting to record his vision and expand his recognition among the jazz community along the East Coast as well. Winner of the 1995 Thelonious Monk Jazz Competition on bass, Hall’s vision is one that is unlike that of many bassists ...
Various: Monkadelphia
by AAJ Staff
That scrappy, enterprising and creative jazz label out of Philadelphia, Encounter Records, has done it again by documenting some encounters of that city's musicians with the artist known as Monk.Rather than retreading often-heard arrangements of Monk's tunes, with only the players changing, the Philadelphians of “Monkadelphia" have created their own approach to Thelonious' challenging ...
J.D. Walter: Sirens In The C-House
by AAJ Staff
Five stars! Five stars, I tell you! “Sirens In The C-House" is, without a doubt, a five-star CD! J.D. Walter is a five-star singer! Nay, ten stars! A hundred stars! Turn out the stars! Yowza! “Sirens In The C-House" reveals the folly of trying to rate music, making it a kind of competition and blessing a ...
Various: Live At Ortlieb's Jazzhaus
by AAJ Staff
Ortlieb’s is “the house of jazz as far as Philadelphia is concerned,” according to local legend Evelyn Simms in one of the ten “soundbytes” used throughout the two CD’s comprising “Live At Ortlieb’s Jazzhaus.” That’s quite an accomplishment when you consider that the club has been in existence for approximately a dozen years after owner Pete ...
Dan Kleiman: Siora
by AAJ Staff
Straight out of Philadelphia--home of Coltrane, Benny Golson, Ted Curson, the Heaths, Odean Pope, McCoy Tyner, Mickey Roker, Joey DeFrancesco, and on and on--comes, surprisingly, some excellent Brazilian music. Don't ask me how it got there. It's there, take my word for it. Seemingly the inspiration of keyboardist Dan Kleiman, “Siora" the CD and, I assume, ...
Ken Shepherd: Worth The Wait
by AAJ Staff
In his debut recording on Philadelphia's home-grown jazz label, Encounter Records, vocalist-or maybe more appropriately vocalesist-Ken Shepherd proves that scat singing isn't exclusively the domain of relatively few male singers such as Jon Hendricks or Kurt Elling. Au contraire. One needs only to attend some of the IAJE vocal performances and/or clinics to realize that interest ...
Denis DeBlasio: Duets
by AAJ Staff
While these two Denis DeBlasio CDs are packaged as a set, they actually project two very different concepts joined in continuity by DeBlasio's style and instrumentation and by pianist Jim Ridl's percussive backup and imaginative soloing. The content of the albums is self-explanatory. Reflections of Childhood is, according to the liner notes, DeBlasio's “jazz interpretations of ...
