Rez Abbasi: Bazaar
by Jim Santella
Guitarist Rez Abbasi interprets nine of his own compositions on this album with a jazz organ trio and guests who explore the connection between East and West through improvised music. His impressions run happy, sad, light, dark, mysterious, open, free and easy. Abbasi retains the mystique of the classic jazz organ/guitar trio while coloring each selection ...
Dave Liebman & Bobby Avey: Vienna Dialogues
by Michael P. Gladstone
Dave Liebman has released seventy albums since 1972, matching some of the most frequently recorded musicians in jazz, but the soprano saxophonist keeps moving forward. Vienna Dialogues is a duet performance with pianist Bobby Avey. Throughout his career, Liebman has collaborated on several piano-saxophone duet albums, the most recent of which was Manhattan Dialogues (Zoho, 2005) ...
Dave Liebman & Bobby Avey: Vienna Dialogues
by Nic Jones
A programme consisting of music from the likes of Robert Schumann and Georg Friedrich Handel should really be some kind of anathema to jazz per se, but what keeps it from being so on Vienna Dialogues is the deft interplay and deep musical understanding that exists between soprano saxophonist Dave Liebman and pianist Bobby Avey. In ...
Dave Liebman & Bobby Avey: Vienna Dialogues
by John Kelman
An album based around music by Mendelssohn, Mahler and other classical composers might sound a little too polite for expressionist saxophonist Dave Liebman. But Vienna Dialogues, a followup to the more in-character Manhattan Dialogues (Zoho, 2005), demonstrates what anyone who has followed his career already knows. Liebman has always been a player who can immerse himself ...
Ike Turner: Risin' With The Blues
by Jerry D'Souza
It is no secret that Ike Turner has lived a very colorful life. He has seen it all: the struggle, the fame, the downward spiral, the besmirching of his name. But he has proved to be a fighter and a survivor. And now, at 75, he is back with a hell-raising album. Turner has ...
Dave Liebman & Bobby Avey: Vienna Dialogues
by Victor Verney
Prominent jazz musicians from Bill Evans to Christian Howes have begun their musical careers with formal training in classical music. Others, like Duke Ellington and Dave Brubeck, have explored classical compositional form during the latter part of their careers. But few have taken on the challenge with the passion and commitment shown by Dave Liebman, as ...
Ike Turner: Risin
by Nic Jones
This is how it is. Ike Turner sings like a good-time Captain Beefheart, and his guitar playing stings like inhaling lemonade. He's also one of the legends of popular music, whose course might have been different if it hadn't been for him. On this disc he plays like a man half his age and with a ...
Duduka Da Fonseca: Samba Jazz In Black & White
by Russ Musto
The second effort led by Duduka Da Fonseca, the drummer in Trio da Paz, is a triumphant successor to 2002's Samba Jazz Fantasia that manages to surpass the promise of its Grammy-nominated predecessor. This delightful disc features his talented working quintet with saxophonist/clarinetist Anat Cohen, pianist Helio Alves, guitarist Guilherme Monteiro and bassist Leonardo Cioglia romping ...
David Bixler: Call It A Good Deal
by David A. Orthmann
Call It A Good Deal is a plainspoken name for an elusive and thoroughly engrossing recording. Alto saxophonist and composer David Bixler's third outing as a leader transcends familiar categories. Bixler writes gorgeous, expansive melodies that seldom linger in one place for very long. His compositions favor odd time signatures, as well as changes in meter ...
