| | Masters Of Percussion CD Masters Of Percussion Discography of CDs
Drumming never sounded as good as it does on Masters of Percussion, a collection by some of the world's greatest percussionists. To begin with, four of the six pieces on this release were digitally recorded live, capturing the depth of energy and nuances of intonation that are produced when musicians join force in front of an audience and creating a fascinating education in the complexity of percussion. The first-ever duet between renowned Narada drummer Michael Walden and tabla maestro Zakir Hussain is a carefully balanced piece between the precision of the drum set and softer sound of the tabla. The other masters include K. Sivaraman, Giovanni Hidalgo, T.H. Vinayakram, Harishankar, Arjun Shejwal, Ustad Sultan Khan, Fazal Qureshi and Taufiq Qureshi. ~ MusD

Over its last two albums, Reflections (ECM 1516) and War Orphans (ECM 1604), the Bobo Stenson Trio has enveloped itself in a study of chromatic lyricism and modal architecture that balances the three traditional jazz elements for alchemy -- rhythm, harmony, and melody -- the organization of space within the composition. On Serenity -- the group's most ambitious project to date and Stenson's ever -- the Bobo Stenson Trio (Bobo Stenson, piano; Anders Jormin, bass; Jon Christensen, drums) has taken the results of its earlier explorations along this line and transformed them into an entirely new kind of spontaneous compositional terrain, one that holds balance for the space between players rather than on individual contributions ...

Masters Of Percussion songs
$6.45  (MP3 Available for Download)
In the post-Lilith Fair solo career of former 10,000 Maniacs frontwoman Natalie Merchant, MOTHERLAND stands as something of an achievement. It melds the lyrical craft she began developing all those years ago with the Maniacs, the contemporary pop sensibilities she's been crafting since the beginning of her solo work, and a variety of new influences that seem to have seeped in somewhere along the way. Things kick off distinctively with the creepy, violin-colored reggae slow-burner "This House is on Fire." From there it's off to an eclectic mix-and-match of styles, including the folk-ballad feel of the title track, the sultry blues of "Put the ...
| | Elvin Jones And Then Again/Midnight Walk CD (2000)
Masters Of Percussion album
$10.69 (MP3 Available for Download)
This repackage of two of Elvin Jones' Atlantic titles from 1965 and 1967, respectively, reveals something truly unnerving about the drummer before and after his boss, John Coltrane, passed away: that Jones never stopped being a hard bop drummer. On the first date, And Then Again, Jones employs his brothers, Thad and Hank, Charles Davis, Paul Chambers, Hunt Peters, and Art Davis in a program that could have come from the early to mid '60s Blue Note catalog. Horace Silver's funkiness is wedded to knotty, swinging hard bop figures adorned in rhythm by Jones, especially on Davis's "Azan" and Melba Liston's "Len Sirrah." On the latter disc Midnight Walk, Jones hires Thad again, but also employs Dollar Brand, Hank Mobley, Don Moore, and Steve Jams on electric piano. The title track is a shifty little funk number by Arif Mardin with a punchy front line for both trumpet and tenor, accented by the bass with single note runs in the turnarounds. But the high point on the album is Dollar Brand's "Tintiyana," a drawn out modal piece with an ostinato piano section that is heavy on left hand acrobatics before moving the theme and variation into the middle register where it becomes possible for the band to enter into the tune -- almost two minutes in out of six. Once they do, the staccato ...

| | Joe Jackson Night And Day CD (1982)
Masters Of Percussion MP3 Album
$6.85 (MP3 Available for Download)
All songs written by Joe Jackson except "T.V. Age" (Jackson/Steve Tatler).
This is the album where Jackson starts showing off his compositional and instrumental chops. By 1982 he had moved to New York, where he developed a great love of Latin music. Perhaps spurred by his 1981 jump blues outing JUMPIN' JIVE, Jackson again stepped away from his rock & roll past, this time with some outstanding original tunes. NIGHT AND DAY merges Latin sounds with pop, jazz and classic Gershwinesque melodic elegance. It contains the most mature and instantly satisfying compositions of Jackson's career.
The Latin percussion of Sue Hadjopoulos and Jackson' own salsa-tinge piano provide continuity throughout the album. In what was a revolutionary move for a pop-rock artist at the time, Jackson jettisoned his guitarist in favor of a second keyboardist, and the piano, organ and synthesizer textures provide much of the meat for the arrangements. Alternately propulsive and reflective, NIGHT AND DAY reflects the concerns of an Englishman in New York City in the early '80s, but the album's biggest hit "Steppin' Out" is a graceful, synth-flavored love ballad that's as timeless as great pop songs get.
Jackson's great New York album, full of atmosphere, high-quality musicianship and mature arrangements, put him way beyond the pop of his first two albums. The cosmopolitan flavour is captured on the Latin-styled "Cancer," Jackson's ...

Masters Of Percussion album

Shades of jazz and classical with a sense of irony, storytelling and humor..."The BLISSFUL BEHEMOTH tracks are wonderful... playful, humorous, and great melodies..."...sweetly ironic and finely melodic, nice arrangements and pleasant vocals - everything was just right. In fact, I can't help but listen to the tracks again and again. It's a sincere joy to hear a true talent like that..."I was completely enchanted with WHILE SUNLIGHT SLIPPED AWAY. A colourful and moving melody, dreamy harmonies straight from the heart of prog rock and a naturally pleasant voice are the elements that make this piece of music simply delightful. There's some sweet sincerity about it that just makes you want to listen to it again...which I keep doing... very Tony Banks-ish and its key changes are delightful..."AS YOUNG AS I'M OLD is a fine tune...thoroughly enjoyable...awesome and honorable...and the lyrics are hilarious!... nail[s] that Minnear feel about as much as anyone can who's not named Minnear..."FANFARE is beautiful and GIANT FOR ANOTHER HOUR keeps sounding better and better. What a scream!..."Really good music and performances...great melodies (an increasingly rare phenomenon). I'm definitely adding [it] to my 'wish list'... If I don't get to see you in concert, I am really missing out!"- Members of On-Reflection"FANFARE [is] an excellent piece that twists and turns, refusing to be tied down for more than a few seconds, and not letting the listener's attention wander for a single moment. This deft musical collage builds a number of short, often relatively simple musical figures into an intriguing whole..."GIANT FOR ANOTHER HOUR marries Kerry Minnear's keyboard style to a funky, fractured bass-line reminiscent of Ray Shulman's work around the time of In'terview, cleverly encapsulating several key elements of Gentle Giant's unique sonic tapestry in a delightfully playful piece."HOUSE ON A HILL [is] dramatic and atmospheric by turns, with some neat changes of pace and mood, this enormously expressive performance has all the necessary impact to make it a successful film theme. There are some pieces of music that are just perfect for the piano -- this is one of them."-- Alan Kinsman"Adam Levin is a musical treasure. In a world rife with tastelessness, his recordings feature style, class, passion, and extraordinary melodies." - Terence J. Miles"AS YOUNG AS I'M OLD really encouraged me to get BLISSFUL BEHEMOTH...and it is magnificent. As a Gentle Giant and Genesis fan, I appreciate [it] very much... really capture[s] whatever it is that made Gentle Giant so utterly appealing." - PG"elegant...rich and beautiful." - Nikki Squire ...
