Miles Davis: The Complete On The Corner Sessions
by Graham L. Flanagan
What better gift could you think of bestowing on the Miles Davis fan in your family this holiday season than the exhaustively comprehensive The Complete On The Corner Sessions--a set that expands on the legendary trumpeter's 1972 release that some interpreted as a “f*#k you to his loyal fan base. Although On The ...
Miles Davis: The Complete On The Corner Sessions
by AAJ Italy Staff
Immaginate la situazione: è il primo giorno di giugno del 1972. Tardissima mattinata. Il saxofonista Dave Liebman è dal dentista e sta pazientemente attendendo il suo turno. Arriva una telefonata della madre. “Miles Davis sta registrando materiale per il nuovo album negli studi di registrazione della Columbia sulla 52esima strada e ti sta aspettando. Devi correre ...
John McLaughlin: The Essential John McLaughlin
by John Kelman
Any attempt to summarize John McLaughlin's diverse career into a mere two CDs will be open to criticism, especially by the legendary guitarist's ardent fans. The Essential John McLaughlin is not meant to be a “best of collection, or even a representation of all the various groups he's led since his professional career began in the ...
Miles Davis: The Complete On The Corner Sessions
by Doug Collette
Encased and bound in metal, its colorful artwork raised on the surface of the outer box, The Complete On The Corner Sessions documents the final studio recordings of the late Miles Davis before he went on his hiatus from the mid-seventies to early eighties. This six-CD set depicts how skillfully the man with the horn expanded ...
John McLaughlin – Jaco Pastorius – Tony Williams: Trio of Doom
by AAJ Italy Staff
La storia di queste mirabolanti registrazioni è davvero emblematica e può servire come esempio della volatilità della percezione umana e in particolar modo della percezione artistica da parte dei protagonisti stessi del momento esecutivo. Nel 1979 Jaco Pastorius era all’apice della sua carriera, era solidamente inserito nel supergruppo Weather Report e, secondo il giudizio pressoché unanime ...
Bruce Hornsby: Camp Meeting
by Troy Collins
Camp Meeting, pianist Bruce Hornsby's high profile jazz trio session with heavyweight bassist Christian McBride and iconic drummer Jack DeJohnette, may seem to have materialized out of thin air, but don't you believe them. Hornsby has been gradually building to this statement his whole career. Last year's retrospective boxed set, Intersections (RCA), revealed the ...
Muddy Waters / Johnny Winter / James Cotton: Breakin' It Up, Breakin' It Down
by Doug Collette
The partnership of guitarists/vocalists Johnny Winter and Muddy Waters in the late-seventies was a collaboration in the truest sense of the word. The success and recognition that arose from their teamwork-- Hard Again (Blue Sky, 1977) and I'm Ready (Blue Sky, 1978), which both won Grammys-- inspired them to take to the road. Winter and Waters ...
Bruce Hornsby: Camp Meeting
by Mark F. Turner
The funny thing about roots is that you don't know how they really look until you shake loose all of the dirt. Who knew that the “popular music" pianist/songwriter/singer, Bruce Hornsby, was a jazz musician at heart? Many may recall the Grammy Award winning artist from his 1986 platinum hit and album of the same title ...
John McLaughlin/Jaco Pastorius/Tony Williams: Trio of Doom
by Doug Collette
Trio of Doom was eminently qualified as a supergroup at the time of their formation. In 1969, drummer Tony Williams formed the prototype of jazz-rock fusion groups with his trio, Lifetime. Having entered and exited those ranks, guitarist John McLaughlin had gone on to form The Mahavishnu Orchestra, thus taking the mainstream acceptance of such music ...
