Christian McBride Big Band: The Good Feeling
by Dan Bilawsky
The Good Feeling marks the debut of the Christian McBride Big Band, but the seeds for this album were sown in the mid-'90s. Jazz at Lincoln Center commissioned McBride to write and arrange his first major big band work--"Bluesin' In Alphabet City"--in 1995, and that experience really sparked his interest in composing for large groups. Now, ...
Stanley Jordan: Friends
by Larry Taylor
In a successful career of over 25 years, guitarist Stanley Jordan has always displayed his versatility--equally adept at blues, straight-ahead jazz and ever inventive with classical masterpieces. His virtuosity and improvisational prowess are a given, and on Friends, he also shows his skill on piano on two numbers. Primarily, he brings in old pals from various ...
Gerald Wilson Orchestra: Legacy
by Raul d'Gama Rose
The beauty of listening to an orchestra in fine form is like being treated to an oceanic swell of music that rises and falls, creating great harmonic waves of sound. This further regales the intellect with the swish of brushstrokes as the music changes in color, from sometimes thick, dark dripping shades, evoking brooding emotion to ...
Sean Jones: No Need for Words
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Trumpeter Sean Jones has something to say and he says it in his inimitably bright, clear and soaring voice. This is clearly why he is fast becoming associated with the renaissance of the instrument that was brought about by an early mentor, Wynton Marsalis. Jones is a deeply spiritual player. His impulse to adorn notes with ...
The New Gary Burton Quartet: Common Ground
by John Kelman
In a career now entering its sixth decade, vibraphonist Gary Burton has participated in plenty of one-off recordings, paying tribute to everyone from tango master Astor Piazzolla to mallet-men who have come before, like Lionel Hampton and Milt Jackson. His discography has been nothing if not unfailingly consistent--every recording meticulously conceived and flawlessly executed. A project, ...
Yellowjackets: Timeline
by Ian Patterson
Timeline is Yellowjackets' 21st album, in a career spanning 30 years--an impressive return, and an indication of the group's enduring appeal and continued motivation and commitment to making music. As ever, there are signs of evolution, with the addition of trumpet widening the sonic palette. However, pianist/keyboardist Russell Ferrante's sparing use of synthesizer-- which has given ...
Yellowjackets: Timeline
by AAJ Italy Staff
Con questo Timeline - che, va detto subito, è un gran bel disco, e senz'altro il loro migliore da almeno un decennio a questa parte - gli Yellowjackets celebrano trent'anni di carriera. Un traguardo formidabile, tanto più perché raggiunto con una formazione che ha conosciuto (relativamente) pochi cambiamenti di organico, imperniata com'è sul binomio Russell Ferrante ...
Yellowjackets: Timeline
by Mark F. Turner
To have worked thirty years in the business is exceptional for any band, especially in jazz. But since 1981, pianist/keyboardist Russell Ferrante and bassist Jimmy Haslip have maintained the award-winning Yellowjackets--from that year's eponymous Warner Bros. debut, with its infectious blend of fusion and funk, featuring guitarist Robben Ford, and the incorporation of jazz and strings ...
Kevin Eubanks: Zen Food
by AAJ Italy Staff
Nei primi anni ottanta Kevin Eubanks si era segnalato come uno dei chitarristi emergenti più interessanti per poi perdersi un po' in un decennio che ha lasciato in assoluto tracce poco significative. Eubanks ha avuto comunque modo di suonare e registrare con Art Blakey, Dave Holland e Steve Coleman, Oliver Lake, Gary Thomas, oltre che col ...
