Mordy Ferber: Mr. X
by AAJ Staff
Even though Half Note Records is building a highly appreciated catalog of jazz CD's recorded at New York's Blue Note jazz club, Half Note--and musician/producer Mordy Ferber--throw the listener an unanticipated curve with the release of Mr. X. Instead of the crackling energy of a live club recording, Mr. X crackles with a different type of ...
Will Calhoun Quintet: Live At The Blue Note
by AAJ Staff
In a blending of genres that makes categorization irrelevant, drummer Will Calhoun, previously of Living Colour, has released his first CD as a leader of a jazz group. Recorded live at the Blue Note two days after Christmas in 1999, the Will Calhoun Quintet has a familiar ring for a previously unrecorded group. That's because saxophonist ...

by AAJ Staff
Another in a series of CD's recorded live at the famous Blue Note jazz club in New York, “20/20" presents a contrast of sorts between a lyrical trumpeter and three highly percussive musicians in an aggressive rhythm section. Irvin Mayfield's tone, containing a bright ring and a slight buzz, commands attention in an extroverted, entertaining style ...

Lionel Hampton: Live at Carnegie Hall -- 50th Anniversary Concert
by Jack Bowers
One of the most remarkable aspects of Live at Carnegie Hall, which celebrates the legendary vibraphonist Lionel Hampton’s 50th anniversary in music, is that the concert was held in 1978 — more than two decades ago — and Hamp, now 91, is still going strong! Yes, he has lost a step or two, and must be ...
Yoron Israel Connection: Live at the Blue Note
by Jack Bowers
This review may take longer than usual. Before starting, I must write on a blackboard one thousand times, “I will NOT say Birdland again!” For those who missed it, in reviewing Chick Corea’s disc, A Week at the Blue Note, I somehow managed to write that it was “recorded during a week–long gig . . . ...
