Amazon.com: Sergei Rachmaninoff: Music: Ludwig van Beethoven,Fryderyk Chopin,Franz Liszt,Sergey Rachmaninov,Robert Schumann,Carl Tausig,Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky Rachmaninoff is in that rarified category of the 5 or 10 greatest pianists of the 20th century, and like each of them, he was absolutely unique. Rachmaninoff's playing has what many pianists today lack, which is individuality and imagination. The commercial success of the Rachmaninoff disc A Window in Time defied the odds and became a chart topper: here were recordings not of the great pianist-composer but of his piano rolls. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00000DI3E?v=glance   (1949 words)

Latin Beat Magazine: Michel Camilo and the Latin jazz trio In the category of "Best Latin Jazz Album," the choice was Michel Camilo's Live at the Blue Note. Thereafter many trios have been led by pianists such as Al Romero, Hilton Ruiz, Chucho Valdés, Danilo Pérez and Michel Camilo. As the old Smith Barney television commercial said, "He did it the old fashioned way: HE EARNED IT." It has been a long, difficult road to the top of the jazz piano world for Michel Camilo. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m0FXV/is_3_14/ai_n6110088   (465 words)

Comment: Byron's interpretations on this disc are on such a high level that this would need to be placed in the category of "Connoisseurs' Chopin by a Connoisseurs' Pianist".

Music Dave Burrell Full-Blown Trio Burrell has always been one of the most history-conscious pianists associated with free jazz. A sensitive and original interpreter of Ellington and Jelly Roll Morton, as well as a free-jazz player with a clear sense of form and a wide lyrical streak, pianist Burrell has never fit into a neat category. Another free piece, "Double Heartbeat" has BurrellÂ’s lightly dancing touch spinning out one long continuously evolving line over the interweaving bass and drums. www.bostonphoenix.com /boston/music/otr/documents/04220707.asp   (155 words)

REVIEWS of The Jazz Scene in Nottingham THIS was one of the greatest gigs we have seen at the Bonington and was a rare chance to see for the second time one of the world’s finest jazz pianists and definitely the last in his category of legendary Detroit piano giants. THE Bonington was packed for the long-awaited gig with Gilad’s new extended group which gave a superlative performance for the final Nottingham Jazzhouse gig of the current season. We are always delighted to see Renato at the Bonington and his inclusion of the phenomenal Detroit pianist Kirk Lightsey in his quartet was the icing on the cake. www.jazzsteps.co.uk /!JAZZSTE5.htm   (155 words)

The Pianist It, too, assigns Wladyslaw to a category other than that of a conventional hero. The film is based on the war-time experiences of a Polish Jew, Wladyslaw Szpilman, who narrowly escaped death during the Holocaust and became, after the war, one of the world’s most distinguished pianists. Wladyslaw's luck reminds us of the unlucky many, including his parents, sisters and brother; and luck can turn, cannot be counted on, so it exacerbates Wladyslaw's anxiety rather than relieves it, except when, of course, it kicks in. frenchfilms.topcities.com /nf_The_Pianist_rev.html   (3000 words)

Blue Note Records Hills piano Work is well distinguished among his fellow pianists such as Tyner, Hancock, Corea, but does not fit into any category. Hill’s complaint makes sense to me, given his singular and complex approach to composing and arranging, which is perfectly evident from this music, now released for the first time. Hill’s improvisation starts as a trio, with a conversational Carter, but, as on the other solos pn this track, bass clarinet and horn riffs join the main action on some spots. www.bluenote.com /detail.asp?SelectionID=10274   (224 words)

GMCD 7243 O Crux - Spanish Choral Music The three undisputed Spanish geniuses, great composers and pianists in their own right, Isaac Albéniz (1860-1909), Enrique Granados (1867-1916) and Manuel de Falla (1876-1946) fall into this category. This was so of the violinist Jesús de Monasterio (1836-1903), born in Cantabria, and others, better known today as the authors of famous zarzuelas, Tomás Bretón (1850-1923), from Salamanca, Francisco Asenjo Barbieri (1823-1894), from Madrid, and Amadeo Vives (1871-1932), from Barcelona. In 1836, after the death of the absolutist monarch and supporter of the French, King Fernando VII, minister Juan Álvarez de Mendizábal decreed the confiscation of ecclesiastical assets, the first of many actions that would gradually impoverish the patrimony of the Catholic Church. www.guildmusic.com /catalog/gui7243z.htm   (630 words)

Piano Lessons: By Chuan C. Chang This last category, practice habits, is something that many people are left to deal with on their own, regardless of the level of instruction they obtain. She left a legacy with many well known pianists and many more students who went on to enjoy music all their lives and to teach still others. I don't think it is perfect but I have applied the suggested techniques for 30 hours of piano practice and I am very happy to report that they really work, at least for me. Significant improvement was evident in just a few days, and the approach seems to be holding up. members.aol.com /cc88m/PianoBook.html   (2000 words)

Cannonball Adderley: Somethin' Else ---Ink Blot Magazine Both before and after his time with Davis' group, he formed a successful group of his own with his cornet-playing brother Nat and varying rhythm sections (including pianists Bobby Timmons and Joe Zawinul) over the years.
