1963: Count Basie - Frankly Basie Swing, Basie Count
1963: Count Basie - Frankly Basie
     Artist: Count Basie
     Album: Frankly Basie: Count Basie
     Plays the Hits of Frank Sinatra

     Label: Verve/Polygram Records
     Year: 1963, release 1993
     Genre: jazz
     Format, bitrate: Mp3 192 Kb/s vbr
     Time: 48:02
     Size: 49,8 Mb

     Originally titled More Hits of the 50's and 60's, Frankly Basie: Count Basie Plays the Hits of Frank Sinatra, a salute to Frank Sinatra by Count Basie's Orchestra, is mostly closer to dance music than jazz. Billy Byers's arrangements are pleasing enough but in general the music is rather easy-listening with few exciting moments and most solos being quite brief. The original 12-song program is augmented by a "new" alternate take of "Hey, Jealous Lover" and two selections ("My Kind of Town" and "Come Rain or Come Shine") taken from the LP Basie Picks the Winners. ~ Scott Yanow, AMG

Administrator's Opinion Main page
Милые Дамы и уважаемые господа!

Позвольте напомнить Вам основную тематику Клуба - Джаз и Блюз.
Согласен, что наши предпочтения порой выходят за эти рамки.
Да, мы иногда делаем исключения и публикуем классическую музыку, Rock, folk и немножко другого весьма приятного.
Но это не значит, что появляющиеся в очереди на публикацию Rap, Club-Dance, Ambient и иже с ними обязательно будут опубликованы.
Скорее нет, чем да.

Не стоит экспериментировать - пусть даже это самый "супер-пупер" альбом, но вряд ли Вы найдёте здесь для него отклики.

"Фиалки по средам" - не вписываются ни в какие правила, но этот проект состоялся и он будет выходить еженедельно.
И, кстати, для желающих завести свою еженедельную страничку....
Суббота и Среда уже заняты....
Понедельник остаётся за мной. Но все остальные дни недели пока ещё свободны...
Steve Hackett - Bay of Kings (1983) Music » Rock music
Steve Hackett - Bay of Kings (1983)
     Artist: Steve Hackett
     Album: Bay of Kings
     Format: FLAC & mp3 (320k/s)
     Size: 205 & 104 MB (scans)
     Label: Camino (1994)
     Total time: 44:24
     Genre: instrumental, acoustic fingerstyle guitar

     Since his days with Genesis, Steve Hackett had showcased his classical guitar skills on solo pieces like "Horizons." He had a strong affinity for such material and usually included one solo guitar piece on his own albums. By 1980-81, Hackett had amassed enough material to release an entire album of his classical work and pitched the idea to his label Charisma. The record company felt such a release wouldn't prove commercially viable -- they saw Hackett as a "rock" artist -- but the guitarist believed strongly in the project. To this end, he began recording tracks for it on his own time and with his own money. Even after the success of Steve's 1982 album Highly Strung and its hit single "Cell 151," Charisma still vetoed the idea. So Hackett left the label and took his project to a small label called Lamborghini, who released the album under the title Bay of Kings in 1983. It turned out to be one of the guitarist's strongest efforts ever, truly a labor of love, and sold in respectable quantities. Hackett had taken great care recording his guitar, and his efforts shone throughout this gorgeous-sounding album. The
beautiful guitar work was complemented in places by strings and flute (the latter played by Steve's brother John). There were remakes of two of Steve's earlier pieces, "Horizons" (from the Genesis album Foxtrot) and "Kim" (from Steve's Please Don't Touch LP), both of which improved on the originals. ~ Robin Platts, AMG
1956: Count Basie - April In Paris Swing, Basie Count
1956: Count Basie - April In Paris
     Artist: Count Basie
     Album: April In Paris (remaster + bonus tracks + covers)
     Label: Verve/Polygram Records
     Year: 1956, release 1997
     Format Mp3, bitrate: 320 kb/s
     Time: 1:08:52
     Size: 163 Mb

AMG Rating: 1956: Count Basie - April In Paris


     One of the staples in the Count Basie discography, April in Paris is one of those rare albums that makes its mark as an almost instant classic in the jazz pantheon. April in Paris represents the reassembly of the original Count Basie orchestra that define swing in the 1930s and 1940s. The title track has come to define elegance in orchestral jazz. Though only ten tracks in its original release, seven alternate takes have now been incorporated into Verve's re-release of the original session tapes. Other key tracks include "Corner Pocket" and "Magic," both of which are also featured in the alternate takes. Recorded in 1955 and 1956, April in Paris proved Count Basie's ability to grow through modern jazz changes while keeping the traditional jazz orchestra vital and alive. ~ Christopher Fielder, AMG

     Time: 35 min, 57 sec
     Size: 85 mb.

     Итак, "Дни Модеста Мусоргского" в самом разгаре.
     Считается, что лучшую оркестровую аранжировку для "Картинок с Выставки" написал Морис Равель (тот самый, чьё "Болеро" пользуется бешеным успехом по сей день). Не будем спорить с профессиональными музыкальными критиками (они ведь просто отрабатывают свой хлеб) а составим своё собственное мнение, прослушав эту аранжировку в исполнении Берлинского Филармонического Оркестра под управлением Герберта фон Караяна.

     Богата земля скандинавская талантами. Вот и на этот раз джазовая певица Helena Lindgren не разочаровала моих ожиданий. Пластинка, напомнившая содержанием и оформлением о золотых годах вокального джаза, тому подтверждение. К тому же она не только талантлива, но и очень красива...

     Певица Габриела Андерс родилась в семье музыкантов. Отец девочки, джазовый саксофонист Джорж Андерс, с детства приучал ее к творчеству: маленькая Габриела изучала игру на пианино и классическую гитару в Буэнос-Айросе. «Столько вещей оказали на меня влияние, пока я взрослела, мне хотелось попробовать все, - признается певица. «Бразильская музыка произвела на меня, пожалуй, самое сильное впечатление: такие богатые гармонии и такие интересные мелодии».
     Ее удивительная открытость музыке разной чувственности и ее врожденный талант смешивать стили и форматы вскоре раскрылись в нескольких демо треках, которые Габриела записала на собственные средства. Вскоре после этого, Габриела Андерс стала одной из немногих артисток, когда-либо подписанных на рекорд-гиганте Warner Brothers, с материалом, который певица предложила сама. «WANTING», ее дебют, состоявшийся в 1998 году, искусно наполнен вокалом. Эта мягкая и стильная музыка создает умиротворенное, очень легкое настроение.
     За ее уникальное умение сочетать поп, латину и джаз журналы Vogue и People описали Андерс и ее музыку как «экзотическую и дерзкую», а голос ее, как «один из самых необычных новых голосов на музыкальной сцене за многие годы».

Jim Hall - Concierto (1975) Music » Jazz » BeBop » Post-bop
Jim Hall - Concierto (1975)     Artist: Jim Hall
     Album: Concierto
     Label: Columbia/Legacy - Sony Jazz
     Year: 1975 (1997 release)
     Genre: Jazz, Guitar Jazz
     Format: mp3, 192 kbit/s & 320 kbit/s
     Size: 98 MB & 151 MB

     Jim Hall's Concierto was arguably the greatest LP in the history of CTI; now that it has been reissued (for a second time as a CD), the improved sound and packaging plus three more new tracks eclipse the earlier CD reissue on CBS Associated. With Chet Baker, Roland Hanna and Paul Desmond, Hall is perfectly complemented. A master of melody who never wastes notes, the centerpiece for this release is Hall's interpretation of one movement from Joaquín Rodrigo's "Guitar Concerto," arranged by Don Sebesky. New tracks include alternate takes of "You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To" and "Rock Skippin'," plus "Unfinished Business," an incomplete track that fades following Desmond's solo just as Hall starts to play (This song is actually "La Paloma Azul," a Mexican folk tune played by Paul Desmond with the Dave Brubeck Quartet about a decade earlier, also known as "The Blue Dove"). ~ Review by Ken Dryden, AMG.

Count Basie was among the most important bandleaders of the swing era. With the exception of a brief period in the early '50s, he led a big band from 1935 until his death almost 50 years later, and the band continued to perform after he died. Basie's orchestra was characterized by a light, swinging rhythm section that he led from the piano, lively ensemble work, and generous soloing. Basie was not a composer like Duke Ellington or an important soloist like Benny Goodman. His instrument was his band, which was considered the epitome of swing and became broadly influential on jazz.

Gerry Mulligan, Mel Torme, George Shearing - The Classic Concert Live (1982) Music » Jazz » Vocal Jazz
Gerry Mulligan, Mel Torme, George Shearing - The Classic Concert Live (1982)     Artists: Gerry Mulligan, Mel Torme, George Shearing
     Album: The Classic Concert Live
     Label: Concord
     Year: 1982, release 2005
     Format, bitrate: MP3@320 kbit/s

     Size: 150 MB

     Прекрасная команда собралась на сцене Карнеги-Холла. И музыку исполняют соответствующую.
     Послушайте, друзья...

     Classic Concert Live finds baritone saxophonist Gerry Mulligan, pianist George Shearing, and vocalist Mel Torme performing together with a big band in 1982 at Carnegie Hall. The trio first performed in 1977, but this marks the only recorded document of the group. Generally the tone is light and swinging as befits the cool jazz background of Mulligan and "Velvet Fog" reputation of Torme. Similarly, Shearing is in fine form with his urbane keyboard style adding dramatic punch throughout the night. Whether performing one of Mulligan's classic compositions such as "Line for Lyons" or a standard like "What Are You Doing for the Rest of Your Life," the trio sounds terrific. ~ Review by Matt Collar, AMG.

Barb Jungr - Waterloo Sunset (2003)
     Artist: Barb Jungr
     Album: Waterloo Sunset
     Released: 2003
     Format/bitrate: mp3/256Kbit
     Size: 94Mb

     With her previous three albums, Barb Jungr had already proved herself one of Britain's most engrossing cabaret singers and one of the most adroit song interpreters in modern vocal pop, and Waterloo Sunset does nothing to alter or diminish that assessment. The reimagined version of "Waterloo Sunset" is wistful, sure, but also bluesy, impregnable, rounding the corner toward sanguinity.

Bruce Forman - Forman On The Job (1992)
     Artist: Bruce Forman
     Album: Forman On The Job
     Label: Kamei
     Release Date: 1992
     Format: MP3@320 kbps (+ Cover Scans)
     Size: 132 MB
     Time: 57:24

     Guitarist Bruce Forman's second CD for the small San Francisco-based Kamei label features him with bassist John Clayton, drummer Vince Lateano, and sometimes percussionist John Santos, plus guests. Pianist Mark Levine is on eight of the 11 tracks, tenor great Joe Henderson helps out on four, and steel drummer Andy Narell drops by for two. Although there are three Forman originals and one by Clayton ("Angels Just Are"), the emphasis is on bop-era tunes, including Bud Powell's "Un Poco Loco," "A Night in Tunisia," and a swinging "I Concentrate on You." The beautiful "Autumn Nocturne" is a high point. ~ Review by Scott Yanow, AMG.

     Как вы, наверное, помните, двухтысячный год был объявлен годом Луи Армстронга. И тогда каждый джазовый музыкант, каждый джазовый коллектив старался посвятить великому Сэчмо если не полный альбом, так хотя бы одну песенку на альбоме. С одним из трибьютов вы уже знакомы. Там было представлено, скажем так, молодое поколение джаза. Но и "старички" тоже не остались в стороне.
