John Coltrane: Live Trane: The European Tours

Read "Live Trane: The European Tours" reviewed by David Rickert

by David Rickert

John Coltrane has had no less than nine disc’s worth of material released this fall. Not bad for a guy who passed away nearly 40 years ago. This Pablo set should be greeted with the same shout of joy reserved for an Ohio State win over Michigan, simply because it over the most comprehensive look at ...

Jaki Byard: Sunshine of My Soul

Read "Sunshine of My Soul" reviewed by David Rickert

by David Rickert

Jaki Byard is one of only a few jazz musicians who can play comfortably in virtually any style. This has made him a valuable sideman for players as diverse as Maynard Ferguson and Charles Mingus, but has rendered his work as a leader as a tad all over the map, lacking any guiding force to tie ...

John Coltrane (Pablo: Live Trane: European Tours

Read "Live Trane: European Tours" reviewed by David Tegnell

by David Tegnell

To celebrate the 75th anniversary of John Coltrane’s birth, Fantasy/Pablo has released Live Trane: European Tours. This seven-disc, eight-hour-long box set, mixing previously released and unreleased material, is intended to chronicle Coltrane’s three European concert tours, 1961-1963. To persuade us that this release is definitive, the set’s producer Eric Miller declares that he has emptied the ...

George Russell: Ezz-Thetics

Read "Ezz-Thetics" reviewed by Reid Thompson

by Reid Thompson

It is not often that a CD is utterly captivating from the first few measures upon first listening. Some recordings capture so accurately a period of music and are so spontaneously perfect that their listeners are enthralled from start to finish, much like children on Christmas morning. Ezz-Thetics is such a CD, in the company of ...

Dick Wellstood & Cliff Jackson: Uptown and Lowdown

Read "Uptown and Lowdown" reviewed by David Rickert

by David Rickert

Both Dick Wellstood and Cliff Jackson favor a style of jazz that today is seldom marketable-the pre-war stylings of Fats Waller and James P. Johnson. Occasionally this time of music becomes fashionable again, but frequently while being labeled traditionalists these artists assume the noble task of preserving jazz’s early years at the expense of wide acclaim. ...

Bola Sete: Tour de Force

Read "Tour de Force" reviewed by David Rickert

by David Rickert

At the 1962 Monterey Jazz Festival an unknown by the name of Bola Sete wowed the audience with a sprightly mix of traditional Brazilian singing, dancing, and guitar playing. The audience loved it, but unfortunately Sete’s appearance was ill timed and he never got much mileage out of it; the bossa nova craze wouldn’t hit until ...

Bola Sete Trios: Tour de Force

Read "Tour de Force" reviewed by Derek Taylor

by Derek Taylor

Post-dating the craze igniting pairing of Getz and Gilberto that resulted in Jazz Samba by several months these recordings by Brazilian guitar phenom Sete are cut from the same crowd-pleasing source- a fusing of South American folk themes and rhythms with jazz-based improvisation. Much of the music of Sete’s early American trios leans more toward the ...

John Coltrane: Live Trane: The European Tours

Read "Live Trane: The European Tours" reviewed by Scott Morrow

by Scott Morrow

John Coltrane fans have a reason to freak-out with this still welcome new release. The reason being, after the release of both the seven disc Coltrane: The Classic Quartet Complete Impulse Studio Recordings, and the four disc Complete 1961 Village Vanguard Recordings, the realization occurs that the music of John Coltrane is so complex and able ...
