CD/DOWNLOAD/ALBUM: Recent Listening: Hal Weary, Bill Frisell, Emil Viklicky

All About Jazz (Free subscription) | 29/11/2009

Hal Weary, A Rendezvous with Deja Vu (halwearyjazz). Weary is a pianist from the west on the rise in New York City. The quintet numbers on his debut CD draw on the hard-bop/gospel spirit of Horace Silver and Art Blakey. On "Tenderly," he touches on but soon departs from Erroll Garner. Unaccompanied on "Praise Medley" he seems to refer to the Ellington of "Reflections in D."...

The Death of the Cool

LATICONOMICS (Free subscription) | 21/11/2009

The Death of the Cool By Robert McHenry Cool was once associated with reticence, savoir-faire, and irony, none of which is much practiced or regarded these days. Whether or not it is true that you can’t go home again, as Thomas Wolfe claimed—and the claim is just a special case of the more general observation of Heraclitus that you cannot step into the same river twice—it seems that...

Review: Chris Botti

LondonJazz (Free subscription) | 05/11/2009

Review: Chris Botti (Cadogan Hall, Tuesday November 3rd by Frank Griffith) Chelsea Bridge. American trumpeter, Chris Botti, bridges Chelsea and Jazz at Cadogan Hall on 3 November. Botti's show was ticking all the right boxes. He was bringing an untypical jazz audience to a jazz-influenced programme; he was delivering plenty of lively improvisation to familiar melodies and settings. His wonderfully...

Turkish Jazz Mix

undomondo (Free subscription) | 29/10/2009

Sorry for sittin' on this one for so long, it's an amazing piece of history, and one that will set you looking for more from this era, if you've got the ears & mind. Kudos to Onur.

REVIEW: The Aggregation – Groove’s Mood

Geezer Music Club (Free subscription) | 24/10/2009

I’ve always been partial to the music of the big-band era, even though its heyday was a little before my time. I sometimes even feel a little envy for anyone who was around in those days to experience the music first hand, but I always have to remind myself that even today there are still [...]

Maynard Ferguson/Buddy Rich-"Birdland"

Rene's Apple (Free subscription) | 24/10/2009

This is "Birdland" (by MF alum Joe Zawinul) in the original Maynard band arrangement. Maynard is in full force of nature mode here, as throughout the 70's, even as record label Columbia (now Sony) increasingly commercialized his music. The band always kicked butt live, though. Eric Traub on tenor sax. Nice performance here by the MF band, if not ultra-clean. I don't know why I do anything...
