AOTW April 19 - 24 Grand Encounter by John Lewis - Organissimo Jazz Forums - The place to discuss the band, jazz, and more! To these ears, lewis is at the very top of the list of jazz pianists with a beautiful touch and elegance. I think all of John Lewis&; albums as a leader are worth listening, most of them are underrated, this one here tops the list. It's one of those irresistable albums that drew me to a lifelong love of jazz. www.organissimo.org /forum/index.php?showtopic=9503   (963 words)

Jazz All About Jazz Ask for the best 10 or 100 albums of all time and you'll get the usual suspects: "Kind of Blue," "Saxophone Colossus," Armstrong's "Hot Fives and Sevens", "Jazz at Massey Hall," etc. Without a doubt, these albums have earned their acclaim and no collection would be satisfying without them. On his late '70's Galaxy solo LP "Waiting for the Moment" he shows just HOW versatile he is: the album apparently aspires to be a history of jazz piano to that point, beginning with ragtime and ending with electric piano/fusion material. Wayne Shorter--"Etc" (Blue Note) All of Wayne Shorter's 60's albums are great, but this one is certainly less well known (probably owing to the fact that it was released in 1980, 15 years after being recorded). www.allaboutjazz.com /threads/personalfaves.htm   (11735 words)

Smooth jazz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Smooth jazz is generally described as a genre of music that utilizes instruments (and, at times, improvisation) traditionally associated with jazz and stylistic influences drawn from, among other sources, funk, pop and RandB. Smooth jazz as a radio format has its roots in the construction of what were once called "beautiful music" stations, which generally played fifteen-minute sets consisting of instrumentals bookending a vocal song or two. The average smooth jazz track is on the "downtempo" (most widely-played tracks are in the 90-105 BPM range) side, layering a lead, melody-playing instrument (saxophones are the most popular, with guitars a close second) over a backdrop that tends to consist of programmed rhythms and various pads and/or samples. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Smooth_jazz   (1089 words)

Jazz Jazzitude: The Web's Best Jazz Site The label also released albums by many of the musicians who lived and worked in Paris and Europe, musicians whose work has come to define avant-garde and free jazz in the latter twentieth century. It is therefore with great anticipation that free jazz fans have eyed Verve’s reissue of much of the America free jazz catalog under its new Free America series. The mainstream jazz piano trio is alive and well, and we prove it, taking a look at a bumper crop of recent releases, including Bill Mays/Live At Jazz Standard, Hank Jones/For My Father, Roger Kellaway/Remembering Bobby Darin, Jessica Williams/Live at Yoshi's V.1and2, and Mulgrew Miller/Live at Yoshi's V.1and2. www.jazzitude.com   (1089 words)

All That Jazz - The year's best records. By Fred Kaplan Allen is nearly peerless among jazz pianists at coaxing chromatic riches from the simplest chords, and she combines this gift for harmony with a rhythmic deftness, shifting in and out of tempo without ever losing the beat. The pianist Geri Allen is another musician who had been strongest as a side player—to such giants as Ornette Coleman, Charlie Haden, Abbey Lincoln, and Lester Bowie—until she uncorked this album, her first as a leader in six years and her best by far. Zorn leads several bands that play Masada music—a series of 200 pieces he wrote, based on jazz cadences and the "Jewish scales." The string trio consists of Mark Feldman on violin, Erik Friedlander on cello, and Greg Cohen on bass, with Zorn sitting before them, conducting their cues. www.slate.com /id/2111310   (1924 words)

CD Review of Roger Kellaway - I Was There: Roger Kellaway Plays From The Bobby Darin Songbook on IPO Recordings @ jazzreview.com Despite the challenge involved in working with Darin, Kellaway nonetheless remembers those years with affection, and now he has joined the growing list of jazz pianists releasing solo albums within the past several years. But the value of I Was There, beyond the reminder that Kellaway worked with Bobby Darin, is the reminder that Roger Kellaway, at the age of 65, remains one of the busiest, but one of the most under-recognized jazz pianists of his generation. His technical complexity and mastery of his instrument is obvious throughout I Was There as he reinterprets Darin’s music according to his own personality this time, instead to conform to Darin’s. www.jazzreview.com /cdreview.cfm?ID=8442   (748 words)

The best jazz albums of the year. By Fred Kaplan The three best jazz albums of 2005 were recorded 40 to 60 years ago, but that doesn't mean jazz is dead. The trumpet star's last album, The Magic Hour, was the worst of his career (I called it "stupefyingly mediocre" in an April 2004 Slate review), so it should be a relief to fans that his new work, Live at the House of Tribes, is his best in nearly 15 years. Martha My Dear," the album's one solo number, he traverses the song's multiple rhythms all at once, the way Art Tatum (channeling Bach) might have done. www.slate.com /id/2132789   (1539 words)

woxy.com > Boards - Double albums that should have been single albums Regardless of whether she is acoustic or with a jazz band, it's still the same freakin' songs (with maybe 1 or two new tracks).. Double albums that should have been single albums In general, I think double disc sets are for artists who can't crystalize their grand idea to one disc. www.woxy.com /boards/showthread.php?t=21004   (1444 words)

pw: philadelphia weekly online The album is full of memorable solos by the likes of Pat Metheny, Charlie Haden and Kenny Kirkland, but the trophy goes to Brecker himself, who regularly erupts in flowing, zigzagging solos that show why he practically reinvented both the pop and jazz tenor saxophone in the 1970s. This triumphant double album is a melange of styles ranging from blue-eyed soul to pop hits like "It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference," "I Saw the Light" and "Hello It's Me"--three songs that alone would qualify this album for inclusion. This is the breakthrough album from the band that would later score a contributing vocal spot from the mayor of Conshohocken. www.philadelphiaweekly.com /view.php?id=8051   (11223 words)

List of rock and roll albums - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia All the lists are self-described as rock and roll (or rock or rock music or other variants, though not more specific substyles like hard rock), though some would more commonly be described as reggae, blues, calypso, jazz, soul, country, funk, heavy metal or hip hop. This is a list of albums that are particularly notable or influential. Many of the lists are ranked, but this is not taken into account -- all albums on a list are included with the same cross-reference number, whether they are ranked #1 or #100 on that particular list. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/List_of_rock_and_roll_albums_in_the_1980s   (3314 words)

raccoon : notes and scavengings Hipster record store Other Music has recently released their Year-End Recap, featuring outstanding albums of the year (in the categories of electronica, [indie-]rock, folk, hip hop, mixes, experimental, psychedelia, post-punk, etc. etc.). I usually try to resist putting various-artist compilations on my top ten list, but this one is curated by the exceptionally insightful Dawson Prater of Locust Music, which is rapidly emerging as one of the most interesting labels of the moment. Technically "electronica," this album also merrily raids lush indie-rock leftovers out of the icebox (people who miss the era of My Bloody Valentine and the Stone Roses should take note) and even occasionally slaps some (plundered?) free jazz sax solos into the mix. www.imaginaryyear.com /raccoon/2003_12_01_archive.html   (2236 words)

The Observer OMM Albums of 2003 Of his hip hop flavoured dancehall, he said, 'this music is here to kick up the bass and burn the place'; his other achievements included introducing 'dutty' to non-Jamaican English and getting the most unlikely suspects on the dancefloor to shake their arses. His first solo album five years ago was lush with strings and brass - this was a much grittier affair but no less dazzling, superbly produced by Ry Cooder, with guests such as the urbane Havana jazz pianist Chucho Valdés. With the halcyon days of the early/mid-Nineties now just a memory, and the bigger names in British electronic music locked into a pattern of artistic and commercial decline, an injection of energy from this unexpected quarter is timely. observer.guardian.co.uk /omm/story/0,13887,1103832,00.html   (1488 words)

[ A ] titles at Aquarius Records Throughout the early '80s albums on Factory, Topping's vocals took a less central role, as A Certain Ratio began focusing upon the rhythmic dynamic of Jeremy Kerr's increasingly overactive use of slap bass and Johnson's explorations into jazz and Brazillian rhythms. All under three minutes in length, the tracks on the eponymous debut are tight and gritty pop ditties, completely trimmed of fat: the words 'overproduced' and 'Avvikko' will never be found in the same sentence but for this one. Actually this album plays smoothly right into the new Vetiver EP which flows nicely right into the new Jim White soundtrack album (which is how Cup listened to those three new releases here today). www.aquariusrecords.org /cat/a.html   (5919 words)

We had a list of some of the old Journey tunes we were going to play, which none of us had played for all those years.
