Les Paul: Now!
by AAJ Staff
By Jennifer Odell If you're craving new Les Paul tunes, the fourth generation release, Now! , is not where you'll find them. Not because it's not a great album--it is. Classical artist Michael J. Dutton's remastering allows you to hear more delicate elements of the different guitars' various tones and textures. But this album was originally ...
Blue Collar: _ is an Apparition
by Ty Cumbie
Blue Collar's oddly titled debut recording is a demonstration of how to avoid the ordinary. The musicians, all virtuosos, eschew every convention of music here, opting for displays of “extended technique"? or inspired noisemaking. Not until track five do the excellent brass players deign to play actual notes. They do grunt, huff, puff, squeal and produce ...
Dom Minasi: Quick Response
by Terrell Kent Holmes
Guitar firebrand Dom Minasi, one of jazz's most enduring iconoclasts, has assembled a quartet of kindred spirits to help him realize his latest set of outside-the-box concepts on Quick Response. Since Minasi has released this on his own label, any potential conflicts concerning the quality, direction and style of the music contained therein have been forestalled. ...
Luis Perdomo: Focus Point
by John Kelman
A focus point refers to the place where many things, often disparate, converge into one. Venezuelan pianist Luis Perdomo, who has emerged onto the vibrant and cosmopolitan New York live scene in the past few years, provides an apt example. His début release of the same name exposes a player who, while unquestionably rooted in Afro-Cuban ...
Katie Bull: Love Spook
by Michael P. Gladstone
This is my second experience in hearing jazz singer Katie Bull. Her debut album, Conversations With The Jokers, fully established her as both a mainstream interpreter of the Great American Songbook and a downtown New York City cutting-edge vocalist exploring the more abstract styles of Jay Clayton or Sheila Jordan. The twelve tracks of this new ...
Al Ashley: These Are Them
by John Kelman
For listeners who picked up on the somewhat elusive guitarist Rick Stone's recent release, Samba de Novembro (Jazzand, '04), and liked what they heard, here's an opportunity to catch Stone in a completely different context. Drummer Al Ashley's These Are Them , originally released in '03 but only now seeing broader release, finds Stone and fellow ...
Roger Kellaway: I Was There: Roger Kellaway Plays from the Bobby Darin Songbook
by Craig Jolley
In case there is any doubt, this is an authentic Roger Kellaway recording, which is to say it is a musical event. I Was There was produced to coincide with the recent Bobby Darin film biography Beyond the Sea, a project in which Kellaway served as vocal coach for its star, Kevin Spacey. Rather than somehow ...
Roger Kellaway: I Was There: Roger Kellaway Plays from the Bobby Darin Songbook
by Jim Santella
Coinciding with the release of Beyond the Sea, a film biography of singer Bobby Darin, I Was There features songs that the pianist and singer performed together when Kellaway was Bobby Darin's musical director in 1967-68. Kellaway, who worked extensively with actor Kevin Spacey to prepare him for his role as Darin in the ...
Sasha Dobson: The Darkling Thrush
by Jim Santella
Singer Sasha Dobson leads a straight-ahead session of familiar standards while surrounded by a stellar group of like-minded artists. The New York-based Chris Byars Octet gives her a strong arena in which to stretch out. Each member of the band provides a hearty partnership for the singer as she interprets these favorite songs from the heart.
Jimmy Smith: Retrospective
by Jeff Stockton
In over four hours of music spread across four discs, this collection demonstrates how Jimmy Smith revolutionized the Hammond B-3 as a jazz instrument of expressiveness and versatility, both as a sideman and as a leader. The usual Blue Note stars are here: Lou Donaldson's alto sax illuminates “Summertime" and cries the blues on “All Day ...
