Andrew Hill: Mosaic Select 23
by AAJ Italy Staff
Non ho mai apprezzato i commenti improntati al compiaciuto elzeviro biografico, quelle melense narrazioni al limite dell’agiografia che tanto piacciono ai critici attempati e ai nostalgici del jazz dei tempi eroici, quando Mingus scazzottava con chiunque lo importunasse, Charlie Parker si imbottiva di stupefacenti, Billie Holiday di Whisky e Miles Davis maltrattava brutalmente i musicisti che ...
Andrew Hill: Mosaic Select 16
by AAJ Italy Staff
Andrew Hill e la Blue Note. C’è un dato numerico che mi ha sempre colpito nel primo, meraviglioso, sodalizio che legò il pianista di Chicago all’etichetta di Alfred Lion dal 1963 al 1970: l’enorme sproporzione tra il materiale pubblicato - nove le uscite ufficiali - e le numerose, numerosissime, incisioni rimaste sepolte negli scantinati per decine ...
Johnny Mercer: Johnny Mercer
by Suzanne Lorge
In 1942 Johnny Mercer started Capitol Records with businessmen Buddy DeSylva and Glen Wallichs. At the time, Mercer was churning out hits for Hollywood, collaborating with composers like Jerome Kern, Harold Arlen and Richard Whiting. He recorded dozens of hits for the label during the 1940s, his amiable, untrained baritone in effect one of the voices ...
Chu Berry: Classic Columbia And Victor Sessions
by AAJ Staff
Chu Berry Classic Columbia And Victor Sessions Mosaic Records 2007 Loren Schoenberg gets to the heart of saxophonist Chu Berry's story near the end of his superlative liners when he notes that “Ghost Of A Chance," the 1940 ballad feature recorded by Cab Calloway's Orchestra in response ...
Oliver Nelson: Oliver Nelson: The Argo, Verve and Impulse Big Band Studio Sessions
by Andrew Velez
The work of Oliver Nelson (1932-1975), saxophonist, composer and arranger (including composing orchestral and chamber music in non-jazz idioms), is remembered in this typically classy Mosaic six-CD set of 1962-1967 sessions. In his liner notes Nelson scholar and saxophonist and composer/arranger Kenny Berger observes, “The recordings in this set were made from the mid to late ...
McCoy Tyner: Mosaic Select 25
by Joel Roberts
McCoy Tyner's career was at a commercial low in the late 1960s as he struggled to forge an identity for himself as a solo artist in the years following the death of John Coltrane. But as Mosaic's 3-CD collection of overlooked Tyner recordings from 1968-70 (originally issued as Expansions, Extensions, Asante and Cosmos) makes clear, the ...
Chu Berry: Classic Columbia & Victor Sides
by Nic Jones
Chu Berry Classic Columbia & Victor Sides Mosaic Records 2007 This seven-disc set is both a summary of tenor saxophonist Chu Berry's tragically short life and an important contribution to jazz history. It is a “warts and all collection due to some of contexts in which Berry is heard, but ...
Bobby Hutcherson: Mosaic Select 26
by Joel Roberts
The 1970s are often disparaged as an era dominated by fusion and disco, which is largely true. But there was also some excellent, innovative jazz being made. Unfortunately, owing to the commercial realities of the day--and many subsequent days--some of the best '70s jazz has remained unreleased or available only to the most intrepid of fans. ...
Bobby Hutcherson: Mosaic Select 26
by John Kelman
Among the relatively small community of vibraphonists, Bobby Hutcherson is not only one of the most influential, he's clearly the most widely versed and consistent too. In a career now nearing its sixth decade, Hutcherson has played mainstream to Third Stream and soul jazz to free jazz. A mainstay of the Blue Note label in the ...
