2006: Duško Goyković - Samba Tzigane |
Music » Jazz » Latin |
 |
 |
 Artist: Duško Gojković Album: Samba Tzigane Label: ENJA Records Year: may 20 & 21, 2006 Format, bitrate: mp3, 256 kbps Time: 56:13 Size:98 Mb (full booklet) champarya rating: 06 - 24: **** 1/2 00 - 06: ***** He was everywhere. In Western, Southern and Eastern Europe, of course.With Maynard Ferguson and Woody Herman, he toured the east to the west coast of America, Japan and Korea, he is one of the stars of classic jazz. Only in Brazil, I've never been, really, "flirts Dusko Goykovich and grins while on both cheeks. After the success of his 2003 released CD "Samba Do Mar" really incredible. But now puts the Montenegrin trumpeter with a German passport and Unverwechselbarkeitszertifikat in terms of perceived authenticity on it even more South American one. Many celebrated artists Bassa would be grateful. |

2007: Alessandro Gwis Trio - Tangos |
Music » Jazz » Fusion |
 |
 |
 Artist: Alessandro Gwis Trio Album: Tangos Label: M&I Music Inc. Year: 2007 Genre: Neo-Tango, Fusion, Jazz Instrumental Format, bitrate: mp3, 320 kbps Time: 54:37 Size: 123 Mb After years playing as a "sideman", the Aires Tango pianist Alessandro Gwis approaches his first solo work, entitled simply "Alessandro Gwis". The record, as is customary for a first work, is a travel diary of a musical journey, a rather personal synthesis of the author’s previous artistic experiences. For this reason, and given the vastness of Gwis’ artistic horizon, it is not easy to define the style of this record; it features Latin sounds, jazz, echoes of European musical traditions, electronics (used in a subtle, though personal manner) and, unavoidably, there are also the sounds of tango. |

1960-61: Eric Dolphy - Here And There |
Jazz, Post-bop, Modern Jazz, Freejazz |
 |
 |
 Artist: Eric Dolphy Album: Here And There Label: Prestige / OJC Year: 1961, CD 1991 Format: mp3@320 kb/s Size: 118MB w/scans Time: 48:15 AMG rating This CD reissue has rarities from three different Eric Dolphy sessions. "April Fool" and the alternate take of "G.W." are drawn from Dolphy's initial date as a leader, a quintet outing with trumpeter Freddie Hubbard and pianist Jaki Byard. "Don't Blame Me" is taken from a Copenhagen concert but it is the two remaining numbers ("Status Seeking" and an unaccompanied rendition on bass clarinet of "God Bless the Child") that are of greatest interest. The latter cuts are taken from Dolphy's legendary gig at the Five Spot Cafe with trumpeter Booker Little, pianist Mal Waldron, bassist Richard Davis and drummer Ed Blackwell, not duplicating the seven more famous performances that are often thought of as the group's entire output. Although it is easy to think of this set on a whole as containing "leftovers," Dolphy's strong playing on alto, flute and bass clarinet makes the music of strong interest to his fans. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |

2000: William Parker Trio - Painter's Spring |
Music » Jazz » Modern Jazz » Avantgarde |
 |
 |
 Artist: William Parker Trio Album: Painter's Spring Label: Thirsty Ear Recordings Year: 2000 Format, bitrate: mp3, 320 Size: 100 mb AMG Rating:   5 out of 5 - "...A meditative collection of beautiful music..." - Alternative Press As the second release in the acclaimed Blue Series from Thirsty Ear Recordings, Painter's Spring by the William Parker Trio sustains the living bolt of energy infused in the free and avant-garde jazz genres by the debut of Matt Shipp's Pastoral Composure. Bassist William Parker wrote all of the compositions except the traditional "There Is a Balm in Gilead" and "Come Sunday," and together with Daniel Carter on alto and tenor sax, flute, and clarinet and Hamid Drake on drums, the trio lifts the program to the listener's attention with the melding of individual talents into one powerful musical force. The CD features a three-song suite — "Foundation #1," "Foundation #2," and "Foundation #4" — and all are pure Parker with their wicked, loosely defined vamps full of buzzing, open drones, and short jabs. His spontaneous feelings and subtle variations that on "Come Sunday," complete with ample blocks of rhythm and melody, allow one to experience another level of sound through his masterful musician dimensions. As a master of the acoustic bass, Parker's techniques on Painter's Spring range from playing the bass in a percussive-like mode to using a mixture to staffed notation and diagrams in order to achieve an orchestral fidelity. Daniel Carter's performances are never the same and he blows an amazing set from beginning to end. Hamid Drake improvises his visions within the setting provided by Parker and Carter, drums an astounding solo on "Flash," and through this dynamic trio, this program pierces the veil of avant-garde and free jazz mystery. ~ Paula Edelstein, All Music Guide |

1947,1951: Duke Ellington - Monologue |
Music » Jazz » Big Band |
 |
 |
 Artist: Duke Ellington Album: Monologue Label: CBS Records Years: 1947,1951; release: 1972 Quality: MP3@320 kbps (LP-rip) Size: 105 mb Total time: 50:14 AMG Rating This was the 20th volume in the superb series of Ellington material assembled by the French CBS label. Liner notes are dispensed with entirely, although there is complete discographical information on the sessions. The series is slimly and sleekly packaged, not only in the style of the Duke but a priority for the collector trying to find enough space to fit all of this composer and bandleader's masterpieces. This is one of the finest collections of Ellington and his associates doing a series of short, unconnected pieces, each of them something like a hit single, or anyway they all would have been in a perfect world. The power and precision of the band as a creative jazz unit is evident, and these recordings certainly put to shame later imitations of these concepts done by Wynton Marsalis. The song "On a Turquoise Cloud" comes along and provides a wonderful contrast, with vocalist Kay Davis challenged to maintain equilibrium in the composer's feathery setting. The underrated Al Sears has some nice tenor solos on riff-generated stompers such as "Stop, Look and Listen." The album's title comes from one of the Duke's humorous narrations. ~ Eugene Chadbourne, All Music Guide |

1954-1958: Tal Farlow - Verve Jazz Masters 41 |
Music » Jazz » BeBop » Cool |

 Artist: Tal Farlow Album: Verve Jazz Masters 41 Label: Verve Years: 1954,55,56,58; release: 1995 Time: 72:16 Format: FLAC Size: (90MB x 4)+ 40MB (incl. covers) I've listened to alot of Tal's recordings, and I consider this CD to an outstanding representation of his best work. If I had to own only one CD of his, this would be it. It has tunes from his earlier '50s recordings, such as "The Tal Farlow Album", when his blistering single note runs were at their crispest. "Cherokee" is as fast as you can possibly get on a guitar -- I calculated 22 notes per second bursts based on the tempo of more than 300 quarter notes per minute. Smoo...kin! It also contains some ballads to give the listener a chance to wipe the sweat off his brow. Don't miss out on this one! ~ Customer review from amazon.com |

2010 Elizabeth Shepherd - Heavy Falls The Night |
Soul-Jazz, Funk-Jazz |
 |
 |
 Artist: Elizabeth Shepherd Trio Album: Heavy Falls The Night Label: Do Right! Music Year: March 2010 Genre: vocal jazz, R&B Format, bitrate: MP3 320kbps Time: 40:46 Size: 79MB Heavy Falls the Night takes the listener on an unpredictable musical ride. It's hard to pick a favourite track from such an eclectic album but, depending on your taste, it could be the dancefloor ready Seven Bucks, co-produced by Japanese mixmaster DJ Mitsu The Beats (Dwele, Jose James), and inspired by an NFB documentary. Or it could be The Taking - Shepherd’s powerful tribute to the women who came before her – knocked out in Jazz 11/8 time. Or maybe it’s the supremely soulful reworking of Anne Murray's 70s soft-rock radio staple Danny's Song, one of the few secular songs that made it past the gatekeepers in Shepherd's Salvation Army childhood home. ~ Do Right!

1965: Ornette Coleman - At the ”Golden Circle” in Stockholm, Vol. 1 |

 Artist: Ornette Coleman Album: At the ”Golden Circle” in Stockholm, Vol. 1 Label: Blue Note Release Date: 01/08/2002 Original Release: c. 12/03/1965-12/04/1965 Format: mp3 320 Kbps Size: 160MB AMG rating:  Repost with a new link Ornette Coleman’’s 1965 trio with bassist David Izenzon and drummer Charles Moffett is easily the most underrated of all his bands. Coming off the light of the famed quartet in which Don Cherry, Eddie Blackwell, and Charlie Haden shone, anything might have looked a bit dimmer, it’’s true. But this band certainly had no apologies to make. Coleman was deep into creating a new approach to melody, since Haden and Cherry had honed his harmonic sensibilities. Izenzon proved to be the right bassist for Coleman to realize his ambitions. A stunning arco as well as pizzicato player (check his solo in ”Dawn") Izenzon offered Coleman the perfect foil. No matter where Coleman’’s soloing moved the band, Izenzon was there at exactly the same time with an uncanny sense of counterpoint, and he often changed the harmonic mode by force. The first of these two volumes from December 3 shows Coleman in a playful, mischievous frame of mind, toying with the trio ads well as the audience on ”Faces and Places” by inserting standard bop phrases and song quotes into the heart of his free soloing. On ”Dee Dee,” Coleman moves along to rhythmic counterpoint by Moffett, pushing Izenzon into the unlikely role of beat-keeper—not simple for such an amazing improviser. But it’’s on the closer, ”Dawn,” that the band gels as one inseparable, ethereal unit, cascading through scalar invention and chromatic interplay as if it were second nature. [The 2002 Blue Note re-release includes three bonus tracks: alternate takes of ”Faces and Places” and ”European Echoes” and the previously unreleased ”Doughnuts."] ~ Thom Jurek, All Music Guide |
