The Kim Richmond Concert Jazz Orchestra: Artistry
by Nicholas F. Mondello
"A Tribute to the Music of ..." That's a phrase encountered regularly when one surveys today's recorded efforts--jazz and otherwise. A number of factors might be the motivation: there's a tremendous legacy of 20th century music (and legacy is usually bankable), or, perhaps, there isn't enough bankable current music. Either way, looking in the rearview mirror ...
Kim Richmond Concert Jazz Orchestra: Artistry
by Jack Bowers
On Artistry, the Kim Richmond Concert Jazz Orchestra pays homage to one of Richmond's former employers, the legendary Stan Kenton, not by rehashing music performed by the Kenton Orchestra--no matter how forward-leaning that may have been--but rather by renovating a few themes associated with Kenton (and quite a few others that weren't) in the manner in ...

This ...

Dave Liebman: Live/As Always
by AAJ Italy Staff
L'apertura di questo bel disco della big band del saxofonista Dave Liebman è affidata ad una sorta di fanfara che richiama gli album di Michael Gibbs, uno degli arrangiatori e band leader più importanti nel jazz degli ultimi quarant'anni.
