Sarah Jane Cion: Summer Night

Read "Summer Night" reviewed by Greg Henry Waters


It takes a lifetime to become a real artist. Mozart, with all his talent, didn't write any mature music until he was twenty-five years old. What a task to take on and Sarah Jane Cion has done just that, with all the pain and non-glory that goes with being an artist. Cion is a pianist who ...

Elora Festival Singers, Noel Edison: Arvo Part Berliner Messe

Read "Arvo Part Berliner Messe" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey


While firmly established as one of the most important instrumental composers of the Twentieth Century, Estonian Arvo Part (born 1935) fully distinguished himself as a choral composer. Since 1976, Pä²' has employed a compositional technique he labeled tintinnabuli (from the Latin: “little bells"), where the composer uses bell-like resonances in triads, underscoring a melodic voice revolving ...

Steven Mayer: Art Tatum - Improvisations

Read "Art Tatum - Improvisations" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey


Art Tatum--Improvisations is a clever and completely appropriate bit of artist and repertoire marketing. Art Tatum (1909-1956) possessed perhaps the most complete and thorough knowledge of the Great American Songbook (and traditional classical music) and the most commanding piano technique of any American jazz artist. Anecdotal stories of his near-supernatural playing abound. With Art Tatum--Improvisations, the ...

Harmonious Wail: Gypsy Swing

Read "Gypsy Swing" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey


It is fairly impossible to discuss "gypsy swing" without discussing Django Reinhardt. The two entities are synonymous. Reinhardt, along with violinist cohort Stephane Grappelli, made a significant contribution to the development of American jazz with their Quintet du Hot club de France. The music, produced between the 1930s and 1950s, was firmly grounded in the American ...
