Eric Comstock: No One Knows
by Michael P. Gladstone
A few months ago, I had the opportunity to see a performance of Singing Astaire: A Fred Astaire Songbook presented at NYC's Birdland during daylight hours. This revue was written by a very talented Eric Comstock, who also played piano and sang, along with two equally talented vocalists, Hilary Kole and Christopher Gines. Comstock seamlessly stitched ...
Carlos Patato Valdes: El Hombre
by Russ Musto
Carlos Patato Valdes is arguably the most melodic of all congueros. The inventor of the tuned conga drum, he sings on his instrument like no other percussionist, so it comes as no surprise that this delightful date consists of some particularly lyrical Latin jazz. Leading an ensemble that features flutist Oriente Lopez (star of Charlie Haden's ...
Freddie Hubbard: Four From Freddie
by AAJ Staff
By Francis Lo Kee Freddie Hubbard has led a productive and interesting recording career that has gone through various phases, showing up on revolutionary records of the '60s (with Ornette, Dolphy and Coltrane) and some of the best hard bop, “keeper-of-the-flame sessions, too (as a member of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers). Ready for Freddie ...
Henry Grimes: Live at the Kerava Jazz Festival
by A. Henkin
Amazingly, this CD is the first disc released under Henry Grimes' name since 1965, when his only title as a leader appeared (The Call, ESP). Though there are many private recordings of Grimes playing since his storybook return, this live performance was serendipitous for being close enough to Sweden for the head of Ayler Records to ...
The George Gee Big Band: Settin' the Pace
by Elliott Simon
Although they're not typically household names, a strong case can be made that no single group has had more of an influence on the sound of American music than arrangers. One thing that can't be disputed though, is that the arranger is front and center when it comes to big band swing. A first-person participatory tribute ...
Monty Alexander: In Tokyo, Live at Iridium and Steaming Hot
by AAJ Staff
The task of listening to all three of these CDs led by the great pianist Monty Alexander (actually four, Steaming Hot being a double disc) is both pleasurable and daunting. There's a “something for everyone type of quality: great for a person that you would like to interest in jazz because of their “good times feel; ...
Dave Liebman: The Seasons Reflected &These Are Them
by Jeff Stockton
Liebman/MossbladThe Seasons ReflectedSoul Note The Seasons Reflected offers Gunnar Mossblad, augmenting his own Manhattan Saxophone Ensemble (Steve Wilson, Tom Christensen and Dave Riekenberg) with percussionist Chris Hanning and Dave Liebman, a chance to present an ambitious song cycle that attempts to recreate the seasons in song and the phases ...
Eric Comstock: No One Knows
by Dan McClenaghan
Pianist/vocalist Eric Comstock opens No One Knows with the Charlie Haden/Arthur Hamilton tune “Easy on the Heart," a gentle ballad featuring Frank Wess doing a slow smolder on tenor sax behind the smooth vocal flow. Comstock strikes me here as coming from the line of singers that starts with Bing Crosby and runs through Frank Sinata ...
Jane Ira Bloom: Like Silver, Like Song
by John Kelman
Jane Ira Bloom is one of only a handful of artists who make the soprano saxophone their main axe. But unlike David Liebman, whose expressionist bent is an acoustic concern, Bloom innovates by seamlessly and organically blending real-time electronic processing. That's not to say the sounds she coaxes out of her instrument are necessarily natural, but ...
Richard Davis: There He Bows
by A. Henkin
When initially contacting legendary bassist Richard Davis for this profile, the response was a simple “Call at six am your time any day." Since Davis has been based in Wisconsin since the '70s, this meant for him a talk at five in the morning. A far cry from the stereotypical jazz musician who didn't know there ...
