John Coltrane - The John Coltrane Impulse! Albums Volume 5 (Hip-O, 2011)
This fifth and presumably final boxed set from Hip-O and Impulse! tracks the original release formats for the posthumous albums released under John Coltrane's name during the late sixties and early seventies. They include some scalding free-jazz recorded both live and in the studio and a controversial album where strings and other instruments are overdubbed onto ...
Peter Brotzmann and Andrew Cyrille - Andrew Cyrille Meets Peter Brotzmann in Berlin (FMP, 2011)
A live meeting between multi-reedist Peter Brotzmann and drummer and percussionist Andrew Cryille seems like a match made in free-jazz heaven. Recorded live at a Free Music Symposium in Berlin in 1982, this album lives up to its potential with strong, powerful playing and potent, thoughtful interplay between the musicians. The opening track “Wolf Whistle" is ...
Greg Lewis - Organ Monk (CDBaby, 2010)
Thelonious Monk's music is so iconic and malleable that it lends itself to almost any instrument imaginable. Organist Greg Lewis leads a wonderfully swinging trio on a Monk themed program accompanied by Cindy Blackman on drums and Ron Jackson on guitar. I have always found a particular joyousness in Monk's music as if it was written ...
Joe Lovano Quintet - Village Ryhthm (Soul Note, 1988)
Before saxophonist and composer Joe Lovano became a household name with his lengthy tenure at Blue Note Records, he gigged constantly and recorded both as a leader and as a sideman. This album features all original compositions save one, Charles Mingus' lush “Duke Ellington's Sound of Love." Joining Lovano on this album is a potent group ...
Tim Mayer - Resilience (Jazz Legacy Productions, 2011)
Boston based tenor saxophonist Tim Meyer must have a great enjoyment for the trumpet, because he peppers his new album with compositions and dedications related to some famous trumpet players of the past and present. He is accompanied by a core group of George Cables on piano, Derzon Douglas on bass and Willie Jones III on ...
Buddy Guy - Buddy's Blues (MCA Chess, 1997)
Blues guitarist and singer Buddy Guy followed the great migration route that many African-American musicians followed from the deep south to Chicago, Illinois; at that time the heart of the blues music in America. Guy scuffled for a while as most musicians do before being picked up by the legendary Chess Records as a session musician ...
Jon Crowley - At the Edge (Lonely Crow Records, 2011)
Trumpeter Jon Crowley is always looking to improve his sound and musical conception. Whether it is through continuous practice and gigging or playing with his rock 'n' roll side project Red Light Growler, Crowley is a musician who refuses to stand still. This album is a fine example of the evolution of his work. His first ...
JC Stylles - Exhilaration and Other States (Motema, 2011)
On his web site, guitarist JC Stylles fashions himself as “the keeper of the flame of jazz guitar that swings, grooves & just plain makes you feel good." He actually succeeds quite well in fulfilling that lofty goal, leading a strong organ trio that wouldn't have sounded out of place during the heyday of Brother Jack ...
The History of Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers (Blue Note, 1992)
During his lengthy career that stretched from the late 1940's to the late 1980's, drummer Art Blakey was at the forefront of bebop and hard-bop jazz. His band would become an incubator for young jazz talent, many of whom went on to have significant careers in the music. This three-disc set presents highlights from Blakey's recordings, ...
Ron Carter's Great Big Band (Sunnyside, 2011)
Bassist and composer Ron Carter has accomplished just about everything possible in jazz from his famous tenure with Miles Davis to hundreds of recorded sessions as a leader or a sideman. But there's one exception up until now he has never led a big band. Now he has fulfilled this dream, with a seventeen member large ...
