Wallace Roney: Mystikal
by Ernest Barteldes
This amazing trumpet player blends the bebop tendencies of the Parker/Dizzy era with the more contemporary Miles Davis jazz-fusion sound, and he's one of few leaders to include a turntable player in his band. In fact, it was the work of turntablist Val Jeanty that most impressed at Roney's recent appearance at Joe's ...
Tierney Sutton: I'm with The Band; Kelley Johnson: Live at Birdland
by Ernest Barteldes
Tierney Sutton I'm with the Band Telarc 2005 “There's something in our live set that doesn't come through on a studio recording," Sutton said during a phone interview about her recently released album I'm With The Band, which was captured live at Birdland last spring, “so we ...
Dizzy Gillespie: Town Hall, New York City; Dizzy
by Ernest Barteldes
Dizzy Gillespie/Charlie Parker Town Hall, New York... Uptown Jazz 2005 On a new release on Uptown Records, we hear a long-lost recording made at the Manhattan music hall 60 years ago. The digital transfer is mostly untouched, so as a result some of the crack and hiss ...
Williamsburg Jazz Festival 2005
by Ernest Barteldes
For the third time, listeners took the hipster (and rapidly gentrifying) neighborhood by storm with a selection of jazz artists mostly culled from the local New York City scene. It was a casual atmosphere that reigned at this four-day event (Aug. 8th-11th) that showcased some up-and-coming jazz talent at the cozy Laila Lounge and at the ...
Charlie Parker Jazz Festival 2005
by Ernest Barteldes
A sunny day welcomed the audience to Harlem's Marcus Garvey Park and the first of the two day annual Charlie Parker Festival (Aug. 27th-28th). Young pianist Hiromi took to the stage first with her trio and, despite the fact that she'd just flown in from a performance in Israel, she delivered an impressive, energetic set. On ...
Dave Stryker: Live at The Jazz Standard & Big City
by Ernest Barteldes
Dave Stryker/Steve Slagle Live at Jazz Standard Zoho 2005 On Live at The Jazz Standard, one can feel the intense chemistry that Dave Stryker and Steve Slagle, who have played together for several years, have in their first live recording, captured last March at the Manhattan club. The recording is ...
Bobby Matos and His Latin Jazz Ensemble: Acknowledgement
by Ernest Barteldes
It's too bad that the audience actually watching the show at Queens' Jamaica Jams Festival on August 6th wasn't as large as expected--most people there seemed to be more interested in shopping and eating than enjoying the music. Their loss, for those who did stop to listen to the short set presented by Bobby Matos and ...
Fonda/Stevens Group: Forever Real
by Ernest Barteldes
The mood on Forever Real goes from the pleasant groove of the title track to more experimental moments in which trumpet player Herb Robertson and pianist Michael Jefry Stevens exchange jabs, as on the eight-minute “From The Source and the more up-tempo “The Stalker (eleven minutes that go in every possible direction), in which Robertson makes ...
JC Hopkins Biggish Band: Underneath a Brooklyn Moon
by Ernest Barteldes
There is a clear retro feel about bandleader, pianist, and songwriter JC Hopkins as he goes on the road in support of his debut with his Biggish Band. Onstage, the group looks and sounds as if we were still in the mid-'40s. The leader dresses in a vintage-looking suit, and even though the band has some ...
London Jazz Four: Take a New Look at the Beatles
by Ernest Barteldes
This Brit quartet made the songs of the Fab Four their own, taking a lot of risk in reinterpreting many timeless classics but also approaching lesser-known Lennon-McCartney tunes (sadly, there are no Harrison compositions on the album). The result is a collection of songs on this disc (originally released in 1967) that sound almost if they ...
