One Track Mind: Rick Stone Trio, "Ballad for Very Sad and Very Tired Lotus Eaters" (2011)
Rick Stone picks more obvious standards elsewhere on his forthcoming release, Fractals. There is Victor Young's “Stella by Starlight," given a vampy album-opening 7/4 intro; and a lush take on Jerome Kern's “Smoke Gets In Your Eyes." Stone even swings his way through a seven-and-a-half minute version of Jimmy Van Heusen's “Darn That Dream." But it ...
The Lucien Dubuis Trio with Marc Ribot - Ultime Cosmos (2010)
By Mark Saleski Sometimes, the music chooses me ... or at least falls into my lap at just the right time. Things are crazy. But in the middle of it all, I discover the Lucien Dubuis Trio and Marc Ribot. Yeah sure, you know that I will follow Marc Ribot anywhere. The man is fearless on ...
One Track Mind: Sarah Jarosz, "The Tourist" (2011)
By Tom Johnson Do we need another Radiohead cover? Hasn't everything been said about Radiohead by artists from every corner of the music world? From Christopher O'Riley's albums of sleepy piano solos to premiere jazz pianist Brad Mehldau's definitive readings and the Bad Plus' rave-up of “Karma Police," or even Living Colour guitarist Vernon Reid's wild ...
Neil Young - Chrome Dreams II (2007)
By Mark Saleski I love to read negative reviews of albums put out by aging rock stars. They're predictable in a comforting sort of way. A big chunk of them say that the artist hasn't been any good since the “blah blah" release. Of course, the time span between now and then can usually be measured ...
The Friday Morning Listen: John Mellencamp - Uh-Huh (1983)
We had the “official" start of summer a little over a week ago, by I've always felt that the 4th of July weekend was when summer stepped into its full bloom. In what has become a tradition, the small farm house that I pass by on my way to work has begun to display its enormous ...
Radiohead - Hail to the Thief (2003)
By Tom Johnson I wanted to love this. I originally heard the “pre-release" mp3s that slipped out, and I was enthused at what appeared to be a return to the “classic" Radiohead sound of OK Computer and The Bends. As much as I loved Kid A, I couldn't lie and say I wouldn't like to hear ...
Hans Zimmer - Inception (2010)
By Tom Johnson I found myself entranced by the horn-laden theme that repeatedly roared through the ads for Inception. Less song-like and more a series of massive, rumbling horn crashes, the music seemed as important as it was mysterious. Hans Zimmer's score was no mere backing music. Like the biggest scores we've come to know, it ...
ZZ Top - Mescalero (2003)
By Mark Saleski If you ever get a chance to see the movie “Dazed And Confused," you'll be treated to a pretty accurate depiction of a typical weekend in late 1970's America. The bad hair, the hiphuggers, the muscle cars, the 8-tracks. Ohhh yeah, the 8-tracks. I don't really have much nostalgia for 'em. I mean, ...
Laszlo Gardony - Signature Time (2011)
Hungarian-born pianist Laszlo Gardony is an accomplished musician and composer, having graduated from Berklee and serving as a professor there for a number of years. He's mingled with many of the best jazz has to offer: Dave Holland, Miroslav Vitous, David “Fathead" Newman, Randy Brecker, Dave Liebman and John Blake are all name artists he's worked ...
Something Else! Interview: Delfeayo Marsalis, Producer and Trombonist
Delfeayo Marsalis, recipient of the 2011 NEA Jazz Masters Award, stepped out with a rare recording as a leader this year—just his second since the 1990s. Sweet Thunder: Duke and Shak, a canny reworking of Duke Ellington's 1957 suite Such Sweet Thunder on Troubadour Jazz, led to a 36-date theatrical jazz production that ran through May. ...
