The Fred Hersch Ensemble: Leaves of Grass
by AAJ Staff
For Leaves of Grass, pianist/composer Fred Hersch has set the poetry of Walt Whitman to music. Without a doubt that this is a very great record. Hersch's compositions, which showcase the singing of Kurt Elling (mostly) and Kate McGarry, are jazz, but, happily, they are not otherwise easily classifiable. They bring a modern post-bop drive to ...
Fred Hersch Ensemble: Leaves of Grass
by John Kelman
Only two months into 2005 and already there have been a number of early contenders for the year's top ten lists. Add to that growing number pianist Fred Hersch and his ensemble's Leaves of Grass , an album that sets the poetry of Walt Whitman to music with elegance and dignity. While structure far outweighs experimentation ...
The Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra: A Love Supreme
by Jack Bowers
I have to start this review with a confession. I've never heard John Coltrane's original recording of A Love Supreme. Sorry; Trane and I parted ways after some of his earlier successes ( Blue Train, Settin' the Pace, Giant Steps, My Favorite Things ), so I must appraise the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra's re-creation of the ...
Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra: A Love Supreme
by Jim Santella
Getting into the spirit of John Coltrane's seminal suite of reverential devotion, the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra explores classic jazz from an emotional angle. They swing, and they move cohesively with a big band's full sense of itself; however, the orchestra does not succeed fully in bringing the kind of emotional feeling to the forum that ...
Dr. Lonnie Smith: Too Damn Hot!
by Michael P. Gladstone
The formidable doctor of organ jazz has been recording under his own name for almost forty years. His title is not an academic or medical recognition but rather a nod from his fellow musicians that acknowledge his ability to “doctor" the music. This is The Turbanator's first release under the Palmetto banner and he gets off ...
Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra featuring Wynton Marsalis: A Love Supreme
by John Kelman
In the last year there's been a resurgence of interest in John Coltrane's epochal A Love Supreme. First saxophonist Branford Marsalis' quartet released a live DVD with an incendiary version of the suite, demonstrating with the same instrumentation how an ensemble could be reverent without being imitative, capturing the essence of the piece without sounding like ...
Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra: A Love Supreme
by C. Michael Bailey
The Marsalis brothers are going to single-handedly turn John Coltrane's crowning achievement into a jazz standard. Branford Marsalis recently released a DVD/CD set of his quartet's performance of the jazz suite, recorded live in Amsterdam at Bimhuis Jazz Club. Now younger brother Wynton has provided the suite with a new spin, a big band treatment arranged ...
