George Gee: Swing Makes You Happy!
by Jack Bowers
The George Gee Swing Orchestra swings in the manner of Gee's friend and mentor, Count Basie, albeit on a somewhat smaller scale (Gee's group numbers only eleven, and that includes vocalists Hilary Gardner and John Dokes). Even so, the Basie spirit is ever-present, and if Swing Makes You Happy, Gee's eighth album as leader (and first ...

by Martin Longley
Lucian Ban & Mat Maneri The Rubin Museum Of Art June 7, 2013 This was the first in a three-part series where the Rubin's acoustic-only theatre was taken over by artists from the ECM label, all of them celebrating the release of new albums. It was an ...
Record-Busting 100+ Bassists Serenade Tivoli
by Fradley Garner
Record-Busting 100+ Bassists Serenade TivoliThe seeds were planted by Oscar Pettiford, the seminal American cellist and bassist who put down roots in Copenhagen in 1958, and by the homegrown virtuoso Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen, who played his vintage Italian bass like the nimblest-fingered guitarist when he wasn't bowing like Giovanni Bottesini. In August, 2012, the ...
Mike LeDonne: Where There’s Smoke
by Bob Kenselaar

Eugene Marlow's Heritage Ensemble: A Fresh Take
by Bruce Lindsay
A Fresh Take is Eugene Marlow's third album of songs from the Hebrew tradition. It builds on the foundation of the excellent Celebrations (MEII Enterprises, 2010) but rather than extending the Heritage Ensemble's repertoire still further, it reworks the tunes on the 2006 debut, Making The Music Our Own (MEII Enterprises). It's unusual to find a ...
Eugene Marlow's Heritage Ensemble: Celebrations
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il sottotitolo di questo album, inciso a New York nel maggio 2010, parla di “interpretazioni di melodie festive di repertorio ebraico". Klezmer, quindi, magari con venature jazzistiche? Quasi per niente: questa è musica della massima leggerezza (non proprio nell'accezione migliore del termine...) in cui le succitate melodie virano verso colori non di rado latineggianti, comunque sempre ...
Eugene Marlow's Heritage Ensemble: Celebrations
by Bruce Lindsay
Celebrations, the Heritage Ensemble's second album following Making The Music Our Own (MEII Enterprises, 2006), is subtitled Eugene Marlow's Heritage Ensemble Interprets Festive Melodies From The Hebraic Songbook. The review copy arrived with a polite but serious covering letter rather than the usual hyperbolic press release. The album's closing track is a lecture by bandleader and ...
