Monk's Music Trio: Monk's Bones
by Jerry D'Souza
The music of Thelonious Monk has been constructed, reconstructed and deconstructed over the years. Some players have tried to ape him, which is quite natural, but not necessarily successful. Others have filtered his music through their own prisms and have succeeded in introducing different constructs.Among the latter group are Chuck Bernstein, Si Perkoff, and ...
Carmen Lundy: Jazz and the New Songbook
by Michael P. Gladstone
It was probably close to twenty years ago that I saw Carmen Lundy perform in a small group setting to a non-jazz audience; she sang her own lyrical compositions. My thoughts were that it wouldn't be long before she would become a public persona. Although Carmen Lundy has recorded for several labels since, and each of ...
Carol Robbins: Jazz Play
by Dan McClenaghan
There's a reason mythology puts the harp in the hands of angels. The instrument's lushness shimmers, light and untethered, a beautiful, silvery sound, floating in the clouds. But does that dynamic make for good jazz? The same question nags at the “with strings" genre, in spite of master works there by Charlie Parker, Stan Getz, Art ...
Monk's Music Trio: Monk's Bones
by Mark F. Turner
Think of One: A swinging trio with two outrageous trombones. If you're wondering whether this is just another Thelonious Monk tribute, think again, because the Monk's Music Trio ups the ante in every way, continuing to creatively explore the music of one of jazz's most celebrated pianists. Monk's Bones is the trio's third release, following Harmony ...
The Mary Lou Williams Collective: Zodiac Suite: Revisited
by John Kelman
In a time when “female jazz performer is no longer an oxymoron, it's important to remember there was a time when jazz was essentially a men's club. All the more remarkable, then, that pianist Mary Lou Williams was not just an accomplished artist--in a time where women jazzers were typically relegated to vocalist roles--but a forward-thinking ...
The Mary Lou Williams Collective: Zodiac Suite: Revisited
by Jim Santella
The Mary Lou Williams Collective, an arm of the Mary Lou Williams Foundation, Inc., is devoted to the recording and performance of the music of the pianist and composer. Williams dedicated her Zodiac Suite to figures she respected, including Billie Holiday, Ben Webster, Duke Ellington, Ellis Larkins, Vic Dickenson, Leonard Feather, Dizzy Gillespie, Art Tatum, Bud ...
Carlos Barbosa-Lima: Carioca
by Jim Santella
As guitarist Carlos Barbosa-Lima interprets the songs of Central and South American composers both classic and contemporary, he creates a lovely album of soft, tropical harmony. Ethereal in its mood and graceful in its dancing rhythms, Carioca represents a casual panorama of Rio de Janeiro. In Barbosa-Lima's hands, the acoustic guitar carries a wide-ranging ...
Gato Barbieri: Chapter Four: Alive In New York
by Russ Musto
The final installment of Gato Barbieri's excellent Latin America series features the fire-breathing Argentinean tenor saxophonist leading a smoking international septet--with Howard Johnson (bass clarinet, flugelhorn and tuba), Eddie Martinez (keyboards), Paul Metzke (electric guitar), Ron Carter (bass), Portinho (drums) and Ray Armando (percussion)--at the Bottom Line back in 1975, a time when jazz was moving ...
Luis Mario Ochoa & Friends: Cimarron
by Michael P. Gladstone
It has been ten years since Luis Mario Ochoa's Canadian Latin jazz combo, Cimarrón, recorded its first album. On this new release, the guitarist/vocalist also invites Latin jazz star Paquito D'Rivera and noted trumpeter Guido Basso to join in. Basso spent years recording with Rob McConnell's Boss Brass. The effort is a mixture of ...
Luis Mario Ochoa & Friends: Cimarron
by Jerry D'Souza
Ten years after he recorded his first album, Luis Maria Ochoa and his band, Cimarrón, join guest musicians to make this self-titled third recording. This marriage of originals, a couple of traditional tunes, and music from his native Cuba are fertilized by the band, and the cross-pollination of styles makes for some fine Cuban jazz. Paquito ...
