1982: Kip Hanrahan - Coup de Tete |
Music » Jazz » Fusion |
 |
|
 Artist: Kip Hanrahan Album: Coup de Tete Year: 1982 Format: FLAC + MP3 (320) Size: 264 + 101 MB (scans) Label: American Clave Total time: 44:43 Fittingly enough, the first sound heard on Kip Hanrahan's premier release is that of the conga and the first word sung is "sex," two leitmotifs that would appear consistently in his ensuing work. Coup de Tete burst on the scene in the early '80s as an entirely fresh, invigorating amalgam of Cuban percussion (much of it Santeria-based), free jazz, funk, and intimate, confrontational lyrics. Hanrahan had worked at New Music Distribution Service, a project run by Carla Bley and Michael Mantler (both of whom appear on this album), and had established contacts with numerous musicians from varied fields who he threw together in a glorious New York City melting pot. With the percussion and electric bass laying down thick and delicious grooves, the cream of the younger avant saxophonists in New York at the time wail over the top, accompanying some of the most brutally uncomfortable lyrics ever put to wax. The relationships Hanrahan details are turbulent to say the least, often intertwined with economic concerns as well as a general sense of the impossibility of understanding one's mate. After asking him for abuse and being refused, his lover (sung wonderfully by Lisa Herman) taunts, "When you could only sulk/I had more contempt for you than I ever thought I could have." Interspersed among the bitter love harangues and ecstatic percussion-driven numbers are two stunningly lovely pieces, Marguerite Duras' "India Song" and Teo Macero's "Heart on My Sleeve," both aching with romanticism. Coup de Tete is a superb record, an impressive debut, and, arguably, one of the finest moments in Hanrahan's career along with the following release, Desire Develops an Edge. Highly recommended. ~ Brian Olewnick, AMG |

1989: Philip Catherine/Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen - Spanish Nights |

 Artists: Philip Catherine/ Niels-Henning Orsted-Pedersen Album: Spanish Nights Label: Enja Year: 1989, release: 1992 Format, bitrate: MP3 320 кбит-сек Time: 55:33 Size:105 Мб Дуэты, начну с альбома который мне открыл бельгийца Philip Catherine и закрепил датчанина. Рекомендую, музыка потрясающая ! Philip Catherine has been called the "Young Django" by none other than Charles Mingus, and upon hearing his elliptical, rapid-fire, expressively melodic acoustic guitar, there can be no doubt as to whose records he was absorbing as a youth. Born to a Belgian father and English mother living in London during World War II, Catherine went back with his family to Brussels after the war, where he learned guitar and turned professional at 17. The examples of Larry Coryell and John McLaughlin led Catherine into jazz-rock; he played with Jean-Luc Ponty's Experience from 1970 to 1972 before taking a year off to study at Boston's Berklee School. Back in Europe in 1973, he founded the band Pork Pie, which recorded into the mid- and late '70s; he also formed a duo with Niels-Henning Шrsted Pedersen and worked with such musicians as Mingus and Stephane Grappelli. If anything, Catherine is best-known in America for his duets with Coryell, which began spontaneously in Berlin in 1976, triggered some lovely duo albums for Elektra, and helped steer Coryell back to the acoustic guitar. ~ Richard S.

1972: Владимир Вавилов - Лютневая музыка XVI-XVII веков |
Music, Classical music |

 ФИАЛКИ по СРЕДАМ (выпуск сорок второй)  Artist: Владимир ВавиловAlbum: Лютневая музыка XVI-XVII вековLabel: Мелодия Year: 1972 Release 2002 Genre: classical music, lute music Format, bitrate: mp3, 320 kbps Time: 48 min, 12 sec. Size: 117 mb. Итак, друзья мои, наступила среда, значит пора послушать классическую музыку. Мой сегодняшний пост, пожалуй, будет адресован русскоязычным друзьям, выходцам из Союза. Скажите, кто из Вас не слышал песню Бориса Борисовича Гребенщикова "Город золотой"? Почему-то я уверен, что таких в клубе не найдётся. Эту песню слышали все, каждый школьник, мало-мальски владеющий гитарой, пел её во дворе, стараясь заинтересовать понравившуюся ему одноклассницу. Все знали, что эту песню написал сам Гребенщиков специально для фильма "Асса", там ещё в конце Виктор Цой пел про перемены, которых требуют наши сердца ("Перемены", как правило, шли следующим номером импровизированного концерта). Более "продвинутые" дворовые музыковеды возражали - БГ написал только текст к песне, а музыка принадлежит знаменитой итальянской композиторше Франческе да Милано. Самые продвинутые возражали всем, даже вторым - во-первых, не Франческе, а Франческо, мужиком он был, мужиком! А во-вторых, БГ даже текст скоммуниздил, плагиатор этакий! Стихи написал Хвост, известный андеграундный поэт и композитор!!!
Вот такие страсти разгорались порой у нас во дворе, сейчас-то вспоминаю то время с доброй снисходительной улыбкой...
Впрочем, извините за это слегка растянутое вступление, давайте слушать музыку. |

2009: Burton, Metheny, Swallow, Sanchez - Quartet Live |
Music » Jazz » Fusion |
|
|
 Artists: Gary Barton, Pat Matheny, Steve Swallow, Antonio Sanchez Album: Quartet Live Label: Concord Jazz Year: 2009 Quality: Flac (tracks) Cue, Log [Size: 448 mb Vibraphonist Gary Burton's classic quartet of the late `60s, consisting of Burton and guitarist Larry Coryell (later, Pat Metheny), bassist Steve Swallow, and drummer Roy Haynes, are often credited with laying the groundwork for the aggressive jazz-rock fusions of the `70s. Nearly four decades on from their, initial, pioneering efforts, original quartet members and jazz legends Burton, Metheny, and Swallow, along with newcomer drummer Antonio Sanchez, have assembled for QUARTET LIVE!, an 11-song live document recorded at Yoshi's Jazz Club in Oakland, California. Revisiting Burton (and Metheny) penned originals as well as material by Duke Ellington and Chick Corea, the group reaches new virtuosic heights, offering a fresh, modern slant on the fusion genre. ~ cduniverse.com |

Keith Jarrett - Whisper Not (Live In Paris 1999) |

 Artist: Keith Jarrett Album: Whisper Not (Live In Paris 1999 2cd) Label: ECM Year: 1999 Release: 2000 Style: Post-Bop Format mp3, bitrate: 256 kb/s vbr Time: 1:52:59 Size: 156 Mb (full covers) AMG Rating:  For Keith Jarrett, this extremely satisfying concert with the Standards Trio on two CDs is a personal landmark, the first for-the-record sign that he had recovered from the chronic fatigue syndrome that laid him low for three years in the late 1990s. Indeed, by the time this Paris gig took place, he had come all the way back — his technical facilities intact (a handful of smeared notes aside), his inventiveness bubbling over. Old cohorts Gary Peacock (bass) and Jack DeJohnette (drums) are back, too, regenerating their propulsive, swinging, collective E.S.P. at will. Not too much has changed from the pre-illness days, though the focus is very much on classic bebop now — with Bud Powell getting a good deal of attention with an outstanding "Bouncing With Bud" and a terrific "Hallucinations" that has an atypically funny false ending. Jarrett's bebop runs on "Groovin' High" are astonishing, "Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams" is appealingly jaunty and carefree, and ballads like "'Round Midnight" and "Prelude to a Kiss" revert to the melodic simplicity that was cultivated during Jarrett's down time. Even though the Standards Trio has been one of the most prolifically recorded groups of its era, only the final encore, "When I Fall in Love," had been recorded before by this group. So even those who think they have enough material by this group will be rightly tempted to invest in this document of Jarrett's resurrection. - Richard S. Ginell at AMG |

Keith Jarrett - Standards in Norway |

 Artist: Keith Jarrett Album: Standards in Norway (live) Label: ECM Release: 1989 Style: Post-Bop Format mp3, bitrate: 256 kb/s Time: 1:13:25 Size: 166 Mb (cover) Keith Jarrett has recorded quite a few albums with his "Standards Trio," which also features bassist Gary Peacock and drummer Jack DeJohnette, and virtually all of their releases are enjoyable. The music that they create is in some ways an update of the type of interplay that took place between Bill Evans and his sidemen, where all three musicians often act as equals (although Jarrett, like Evans, has most of the solo space). An uptempo "Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing" is a surprising highpoint of this disc but also quite memorable are "All of You," "Old Folks" and "How About You?"; none of the eight performances from the concert appearance are throwaways. Jarrett's vocal sounds are more restrained than usual while his piano playing is in peak form. - Scott Yanow at AMG |

Keith Jarrett - Up for It: Live in Juan-Les-Pins |

 Artist: Keith Jarrett Album: Up for It: Live in Juan-Les-Pins Label: ECM Year: 2002 Release: 2003 Style: Post-Bop/Modern Creative Format mp3, bitrate: 320 kb/s Time: 1:13:07 Size: 169 Mb (cover) AMG Rating:  For a trio that has been together this long (over 20 years), Keith Jarrett, Gary Peacock, and Jack DeJohnette still play with the enthusiasm of a group of people discovering each other for the first time. That's no cliché. One listen to "If I Were a Bell," the opening track on this live set, reveals how footloose, free, and excited these three can be when they encounter one another on the stand. Certainly, the near symbiotic relationship they have built over time makes the freewheeling feeling come easy. But that's a bit misleading in a sense, because if the listener pays the slightest bit of attention to how the rhythm section works with Jarrett, it becomes obvious just how much listening is going on in this conversation. Jarrett's timbral and dynamic palettes can change on a dime, and Peacock and DeJohnette never miss. The other wonderfully breezy thing about this set is that all of the tunes are from the jazz canon except for the title track, which closes the album and is a Jarrett original.... |
