George Schuller's Circle Wide: Listen Both Ways
by Troy Collins
Listen Both Ways is the first studio recording by drummer George Schuller's longstanding Circle Wide quintet to concentrate primarily on his original compositions. The group's previous Playscape releases, 2003's Round 'Bout Now and 2008's Like Before, Somewhat After, paid homage to the seminal efforts of famous post-war bandleaders--trumpeter Miles Davis' Second Great Quintet on the former ...
George Schuller: Listen Both Ways
by AAJ Italy Staff
"Monkianesimo postmoderno": si potrebbe definire così la vena compositiva di George Schuller, messa in evidenza dal suo ultimo CD Listen Both Ways. E' il terzo disco che il batterista di stanza a Brooklyn pubblica alla guida del suo quintetto Circle Wide. Dopo i lavori dedicati alla musica del primo Davis elettrico -quello più sperimentale- e del ...

Ted Rosenthal Trio: Out of This World
by Dan McClenaghan
2011 has been productive year in the recording realm for pianist Ted Rosenthal. His contribution to The Westchester Jazz Orchestra's superb Maiden Voyage Suite (WJO Records) helped elevate the re-imaging of pianist Herbie Hancock's classic Maiden Voyage (Blue Note, 1965) to the highest level of big band artistry. With Out of this World, Rosenthal slips back ...
Ted Rosenthal Trio: Out of This World
by Edward Blanco
Borrowing from The Great American Songbook is a standard practice for many jazz artists, who include one or more pieces when rounding out a repertoire of primarily new material. Not so for pianist Ted Rosenthal, whose affinity for music from the Songbook is reflected on at least two previous recordings, Rosenthology (Concord Jazz, 1994) and One ...
Ted Rosenthal Trio: Out Of This World
by Dan Bilawsky
Standards, when presented in their original form, speak of the time and place of their creation, but part of their longevity is due to the fact that they aren't encased in an early twentieth century amber that fossilizes and dates the material. The music of George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Billy Strayhorn, and Richard Rodgers is timeless, ...
Ted Rosenthal Trio: Impromptu
by Greg Simmons
On Impromptu, pianist Ted Rosenthal modestly credits every track to the original classical composer on which the song is based. It's a nice, self-effacing touch, but probably unnecessary. No one will misconstrue this album as anything but a modern jazz recording--and a good one at that--even if Rosenthal is performing adaptations. For the most ...
