     Сегодня в гости к известному и очень популярному в Клубе трио Kenny Drew пришел легендарный датский скрипач Svend Asmussen.
     Дарю этот альбом всем членам Клуба ....

     Kenny Drew's Matrix label debuted with this excellent session from violinist Svend Asmussen, an underrated but talented swing stylist. Asmussen, pianist Drew, bassist Niels Pedersen and drummer Ed Thigpen mix together swing with some more modern material including "Django," "Donna Lee" and "You Are The Sunshine Of My Life" on the enjoyable program. This hard-to-find Lp is worth picking up by fans of the jazz violin. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide

     One of the great tough Texas tenors, Arnett Cobb roars and stomps throughout this excellent LP. Joined by pianist Derek Smith, bassist George Mraz and drummer Billy Hart, Cobb sounds quite comfortable on the basic material which is comprised of blues, ballads, standards and "Flying Home."

         WOODSTOCK - 40 YEARS ANNIVERSARY
                DAY ONE

    Major labels were taking all kinds of chances on untested talent in the late '60s, but although his name may have been unfamiliar to most in the industry, Bert Sommer was hardly untested. By the release of The Road to Travel, his 1968 debut, he had already written five songs for the Vagrants (founded by a pre-Mountain Leslie West, Sommer's schoolmate) and sung lead vocals on the Left Banke's single "Ivy, Ivy" through a friendship with that band's Michael Brown. The Road to Travel shows that his well of inspiration had not yet run dry. With help from a conglomeration of friends and studio professionals, Sommer proved he was facile in a variety of styles — orchestral pop, acoustic folk, and some of the most sensitive singer/songwriter material heard before the style had fully flowered (with apologies to Tim Buckley). All of this was delivered in Sommer's plaintive voice, although he was more convincing when he really let go than when he tried to rein it in. Anachronistically, he began the LP with the words "And when it's over" (the title of the opener), moving quickly on the song from eerie Baroque pop to bombastic, brass-led art rock. That was a mere taste of what was to come, encompassing the hippie-dippie end of folk on "Jennifer" (the song Sommer gained raves for at Woodstock), straightforward sunshine pop for "Things Are Goin' My Way," and a curiously aggressive falsetto take on art rock for "Tonight Together." Sommer's power as a songwriter and performer was clear, but he was incredibly difficult to pin down. That may be what doomed The Road to Travel, but it has an undeniable flair.

     Artist: John Jorgenson
     Album: Franco-American Swing
     Label: FGM records, J2 records
     Release: 2004
     Format, bitrate: mp3, 192 kbit/s
     Time: 51:12
     Size: 69.1 Mb

     John Jorgenson is one of those musical chameleons who amazes audiences (and likely fellow players) with his diverse talents and recordings in many wide-ranging styles. Jorgenson was recruited to play guitarist Django Reinhardt in the film Head in the Clouds and record a few tunes for the soundtrack. So the emphasis of this date is music inspired by the famous Quintet of the Hot Club of France. But rather than a collection of remakes of their famous recordings, Jorgenson wrote a number of brilliant originals that one could easily imagine Reinhardt and his partner, violinist Stephane Grappelli, wowing audiences with in the 1930s. . . .

     Artist: Stan Getz with Michel Legrand
     Album: Communications '72 (Jazz In Paris)
     Label: Universal (France)
     Year: 1972
     Release: 2007
     Format, bitrate: mp3, 320kb/s
     Size: 93 MB


     Some of the best work that Stan Getz ever recorded -- a fantastic collaboration with French soundtrack maestro Michel Legrand! The album features larger orchestrations by Legrand, often touched with voices -- swirling, swaying, and swinging in a style that's as hip, modern, and fresh as some of the greatest soundtracks Legrand wrote in the 60s. The setting lets Stan really open up -- blowing freely in his best post-Coltrane mode, but with a tightness that's missing from other records -- and a soulful approach to the tunes that really leaves us breathless! Tremendous stuff -- a record that's unlike anything else we can describe, and one we've treasured for years! We love this one to death, and never tire of hearing it! Titles include "Soul Dance", "Flight", "Redemption", and "Bonjour Tristesse".

    Artist: Keith Jarret Trio
    Album: Always Let Me Go: Live in Tokyo

    Time: 137:21
    AMG Rating:

    Recorded live in Tokyo in April 2001, Always Let Me Go is Keith Jarrett's 149th concert in Japan. Joined by his long-standing partners Gary Peacock and Jack DeJohnette, these performances are playful, explosive, somber, and completely improvised. After 20 years of working together, they trust each other (and the audience) enough to deliver over two hours of unscripted music. DeJohnette prowls through his drums like a restless cougar: he chatters, scuffles, and pounces on the skins with agility. Likewise, Peacock spoons out a concrete foundation of bass; one that bubbles as it spreads through the cracks in Jarrett's 88 keys (which serve the pianist so very well). For listeners familiar with the trio's Inside Out CD, here is the same idea further elaborated on. "Hearts in Space" spirals out of the starting gate with geometrical tremors, as three virtuosos all start their respective engines and read each other's pulses over the course of 32 minutes. . . .

          EVERY DAY IS AN OSCAR PETERSON DAY !

   Roy Eldridge was a happy ex-patriate, living in France, playing his music. Until Norman Granz found him and played him a tape from the JATP concert two years earlier. Suddenly, Roy was no longer worried about bebop stealing his thunder. Because what he heard reminded him where all his thunder resided.
   These recordings for the Verve label, most under the direction of Roy’s great champion Norman Granz, began in 1951 soon after Roy’s return. The final session in the set is from June, 1960.Throughout sixteen different sessions, Roy’s tone hums with energy, whether he’s vaulting into an upper register with no apparent ceiling, or caressing a mournful ballad. Rasping alone over a rhythm section, bouncing playfully over a roomful of strings, or trading challenges with a reed player, he loved confronting his own limits, the instrument’s, and the teases of any musician who dared try to cut him. Even his tone spoke the language of jazz: it buzzed distinctively with an aggressive taunt that said, ”This is what I’ve got. Now, you try and top it.” . . .

    Artist: Peggy Lee
    Album: The Man I Love
    Year : 1957
    Label: DRG (USA)
    Bitrate: 192 kbps
    Total Size: 55.7 MB


    THE MAN I LOVE represented the singer's triumphant return to Capitol Records after a hiatus of five years and is considered by some to be her single greatest album. Frank Sinatra himself was instrumental in bringing Lee back home, and his involvement with this important session extended to actually conducting the Nelson Riddle arrangments in addition to being producer. And what arrangments they are! It's no secret that Riddle, who worked extensively with Sinatra and Nat "King" Cole, among others, was the finest popular arranger of his or any other generation. The musical settings on THE MAN I LOVE all aim for something grand, and in some cases, like Rodgers & Hammerstein's "Something Wonderful" or Harold Arlen's "Happiness Is A Thing Called Joe," they are highly dramatic. Of course, this being Peggy Lee, who was a singer of great artistry, none of these performances are overwrought or bathetic. It is uncanny how she inhabits tunes like "Please Be Kind" or "Then I'll Be Tired Of You," much like the great actress she was, revealing one face and then another in 12 self-portraits. Singer, arranger, and conductor outdo themselves on Jerome Kern's "The Folks Who Live On The Hill," which closes the album in one sweeping Aaron Copland-like moment.
