Lee Konitz-Ohad Talmor Big Band: Portology
by Jerry D'Souza
Lee Konitz and Ohad Talmor first met in 1990, and then toured Europe in 1994 and 1995 with a large ensemble, playing Talmor's “Suite for Lee Konitz. Konitz later performed with Talmor's septet. And now, as part of his eightieth birthday and fifty-year career celebrations, the alto saxophonist has recorded three CDs with composer, arranger and ...
Lee Konitz-Ohad Talmor Big Band: Portology
by Dan McClenaghan
Portology is the third in a series of CDs featuring a fruitful collaboration between alto saxophonist Lee Konitz and saxophonist/composer/arranger Ohad Talmor. With a fifty year-plus career behind him--most of it involving small group work--it's hard to believe that tPortology is alto saxophonist Lee Konitz' first outing fronting a big band. Not that he hasn't played ...
Lee Konitz / Lee Konitz - Ohad Talmor String Project:: New Nonet / Inventions
by AAJ Italy Staff
Prossimo a compiere gli ottanta anni, Lee Konitz mantiene una verve ed una curiosità musicale davvero rare nel mondo del jazz. A questo si aggiunga una perizia senza tempo di un strumentista unico, che si concede generosamente al confronto con le nuove generazioni di musicisti. Rispettivamente incisi nel 2004 e nel 2005, i due cd in ...
Dan Willis: Velvet Gentlemen
by Jim Santella
Taking its title from a pet nickname that was applied to composer Erik Satie by children in his neighborhood, Velvet Gentlemen features multi-instrumentalist Dan Willis with a modern mainstream sextet, freely interpreting eleven original pieces. The band covers a lot of territory. The leader plays eleven woodwind instruments on the session, including tenor and soprano saxophones, ...
Dan Willis: Velvet Gentlemen
by Budd Kopman
Just like you need know nothing about cryptography to enjoy and be blown away by Rudresh Mahanthappa's Codebook, you need no knowledge of Erik Satie (his music, or his idiosyncratic dressing habits) or Werner Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle to appreciate and get lost in Velvet Gentlemen. (Both of the above ideas inspired Dan Willis in various ways ...
Dan Willis: Velvet Gentlemen
by AAJ Italy Staff
Facciamo fatica a comprendere cosa c'entrino Eric Satie e i paradossi della fisica quantistica di Max Planck, ampiamente citati nelle note di copertina, con l’ultima fatica discografica di Dan Willis. Ma poco importa, perché Velvet Gentlemen, nomignolo affibbiato a Satie per le giacche abitualmente indossate, è un buon disco ed un ottimo esempio di jazz moderno, ...
Dan Willis: Velvet Gentlemen
by Michael P. Gladstone
File under: Eric Satie Jazz or Quantum Physics Jazz. I don't know f you have to intellectualize the music, only one of the above subjects is necessary for me. On his third album, multi-reed player Dan Willis reports in the liner notes of Velvet Gentlemen that his writing for this album was influenced by ...
Dan Willis: Velvet Gentlemen
by Jeff Dayton-Johnson
It's hard not to like a band that calls itself “Velvet Gentlemen, even before learning that the moniker derives from a nickname given to the velvet-clad composer Erik Satie by children in his Parisian neighborhood. It's similarly easy to appreciate the sound of the compositions and arrangements on this record even before knowing that they are ...
Dan Willis: Velvet Gentlemen
by John Kelman
Even those who get the titular reference of woodwind multi-instrumentalist Dan Willis' Velvet Gentlemen will be challenged to find a clear link. Those with only a passing acquaintance with classical composer Erik Satie (1866-1925)--nicknamed “The Velvet Gentleman because of his predilection for velvet jackets--will find little in Willis' sometimes complex, often electric and improvisation-oriented music to ...
