Shawn Colvin: These Four Walls

Read "These Four Walls" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

For her first Nonesuch release, singer/songwriter Shawn Colvin and longtime producer/co-writer John Leventhal strip things back to the basics. The same approach made her 1989 Columbia debut Steady On a refreshing breath of fresh air at a time when kitchen sink production was de rigueur. Both have matured as artists in the ensuing years, and These ...

Kenny Garrett: Beyond The Wall

Read "Beyond The Wall" reviewed by Russ Musto

by Russ Musto

Since the release of John Coltrane's A Love Supreme (Impulse!, 1965), only a handful of albums have effectively explored jazz's spiritual aspects while sustaining its exciting secular qualities. Beyond The Wall is a masterful work of original music that succeeds marvelously on both levels, building upon Trane's legacy, as well as the work of the date's ...

Pat Metheny / Brad Mehldau: Metheny Mehldau

Read "Metheny Mehldau" reviewed by CJ Shearn

by CJ Shearn

This collaboration between Pat Metheny and Brad Mehldau reveals them to be a perfect match for each other. Although they have contrasting, profoundly personal approaches, they share a certain admiration for each other's music. Metheny was transfixed upon hearing the pianist's playing on the minor-key piece “Chill, from Joshua Redman's Moodswing (Warner Bros, 1994), while “Are ...

Bill Frisell: Bill Frisell, Ron Carter, Paul Motian

Read "Bill Frisell, Ron Carter, Paul Motian" reviewed by Matthew Miller

by Matthew Miller

It's fitting that the title of this disc contains only the names of its participants. After all, who needs a catchy title to sell a Bill Frisell album with Ron Carter and Paul Motian on it? More than anyone from his generation, Frisell has succeeded in cultivating a sound so distinct that it ...

Pat Metheny / Brad Mehldau: Metheny Mehldau

Read "Metheny Mehldau" reviewed by Steve Holtje

by Steve Holtje

A pianist and a guitarist, both known for beautiful ballad playing, get together for an album of mostly duos. Snooze city, right? That's what I thought after the first track. Boy, was I wrong. This thing is intense! Not that the opening number, written by Mehldau (everything's original; he wrote three, Metheny seven) is sleepytime; I'd ...

Steve Reich: Phases: A Nonesuch Retrospective

Read "Steve Reich: Phases: A Nonesuch Retrospective" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

When the history book is written on the minimalist scene that emerged in the 1960s, it's likely that composer Steve Reich will emerge as the most influential figure. Certainly artists including Philip Glass and Terry Riley have made extremely significant contributions to contemporary classical music and have evolved, like Reich, beyond the inherent constraints of the ...

Pat Metheny / Brad Mehldau: Metheny Mehldau

Read "Metheny Mehldau" reviewed by David Miller

by David Miller

What happens when two of the most distinct and polarizing musical voices of a generation meet to collaborate on a recording? One might assume there would be a litany of dissonance with patches of too-infrequent beauty, leaving the listener mulling over the potential of such a landmark collaboration. But with Metheny Mehldau, the aptly titled release ...

Pat Metheny / Brad Mehldau: Metheny Mehldau

Read "Metheny Mehldau" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

Guitarist Pat Metheny may not be old, but he's been around long enough to be considered an influential artist who can start giving something back to younger players. Pianist Brad Mehldau, still in his mid-thirties, has already established himself as one of his generation's most significant artists. Metheny has always been selective about his musical associations, ...
