Tom Varner
Solenne, ricco di maestria tecnica, di inventiva, spavaldo.
02. Julius Watkins - French Horns for My Lady (Phillips - 1961).
Sentimentale ma ancora attuale, Julius al top con altri quattro corni francesi e George Duvivier, Ray Barreto, Gil Melle. Prodotto da Quincy Jones con gli arrangiamenti di Billy Byers (Sinatra).
03. The Clash - Combat Rock (Epic - 1982).
"SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO???".
04. Kenny Dorham - Quiet Kenny (Prestige - 1959).
Il mio trombettista preferito. Musica semplicemente meravigliosa. Che fraseggio! E niente sassofoni!
05. Maria Joao Pires - Bach: Partita No. 1, French Suites, English Suites (Deutsche Grammophon - 1995).
Il suo Bach ha un groove incredibile ma può anche colpirti al cuore.
06. Gil Evans - New Bottle Old Wine (Pacific Jazz - 1958).
Grandi arrangiamenti di Evans per Cannonball, Johnny Coles, Elvin. Ancora modernissimo. Una delle cose migliori del XX secolo.
07. The Neville Brothers - Brother's Keeper (A&M - 1990).
Grande versione di "Bird on a Wire" di Leonard Cohen.
08. Wayne Shorter - Alegria (Verve - 2003).
Grandi esecuzioni, composizioni e arrangiamenti e sorprendenti cambi di registro. Violoncelli, ance, ottoni, legni. Wayne che si rifà a Gil Evans, suppongo.
09. Eddie Palmieri - The Sun of Latin Jazz (Fania/Varese - 1973).
Barry Rodgers, Victor Paz, ospite Peter Gordon al corno francese. Ancora sorprendente.
10. Vanguard Orchestra - Up From the Skies: the Music of Jim McNeely (Planet Arts - 2005).
Grandi composizioni, Billy Drewes, e una delle ultime incisioni del grande bassista Dennis Irwin.
