Enrico Pieranunzi / Marc Johnson / Joey Baron: Dream Dance

Read "Dream Dance" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

Focusing on all-original material, pianist Enrico Pieranunzi's Dream Dance proves that when there's the right chemistry, a group can retain it throughout the years, even if reconvening only occasionally. While not a regular working unit like Keith Jarrett's enduring Standards Trio with bassist Gary Peacock and drummer Jack DeJohnette, Pieranunzi's trio with bassist Marc Johnson and ...

Marc Johnson: Shades of Jade

Read "Shades of Jade" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Il contrabbassista Marc Johnson conosce bene l'arte di attendere l'ispirazione senza piegarsi alla ignobile fretta dettata dalle strategie di mercato. Questo Shades of Jade arriva dopo un periodo di silenzio quasi sabbatico e celebra in particolar modo un sodalizio importante con la pianista brasiliana Eliane Elias che è certamente la voce principale che emerge dai dieci ...

Marc Johnson: Sweet Tone for Sweet Tunes

Read "Marc Johnson: Sweet Tone for Sweet Tunes" reviewed by R.J. DeLuke

by R.J. DeLuke

Marc Johnson is an extraordinary musician, but recordings under his own name are infrequent. That can often be the case for people whose instrument is the contrabass. But for this musician, it seems more about making statements when the time is right. Johnson plays exquisite bass, with the luscious tone and great harmonic and melodic expression ...

Somewhat of a recluse, bassist Marc Johnson only comes out of hiding every five years or so. But when he does, it's usually to give us another nugget of inestimable value, his albums always proving to be an adventure with a healthy mix of tradition and forward-thinking originality. A veteran of one of pianist Bill Evans' ...

Marc Johnson: Shades of Jade

Read "Shades of Jade" reviewed by Michael McCaw

by Michael McCaw

Marc Johnson long ago cemented his abilities as a bassist since his involvement in Bill Evans' final trio. His career as a leader in his own right, though, has been a lttle more questionable. Released periodically over the span of a quarter century, his albums have run the gamut in quality from his excellent early ECM ...

Marc Johnson: Shades of Jade

Read "Shades of Jade" reviewed by Norman Weinstein

by Norman Weinstein

Bassist and composer Marc Johnson may have taken a quarter century to distill the essence of his playing in the last great Bill Evans trio, but Shades of Jade proves it was worth the wait. What is most astonishing about this masterful work is that it took someone I would never have thought of as a ...

Marc Johnson: Shades of Jade

Read "Shades of Jade" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

Some would argue that it's impossible to call a recording classic until sufficient time has passed to determine its true staying power. Still, one can say that a recording has the makings of a classic--especially in its ability to be simultaneously of its time and timeless. Bassist Marc Johnson has only released a handful of albums ...
