| | Dizzy Gillespie 1946-1947 CD - Import Dizzy Gillespie Discography of CDs
For bop fans inclined to thorough chronicles of their favorite stars, Classics' Chronological series might be the best place to start. Dizzy Gillespie gets the royal treatment this time out, with his 1946-1947 edition and 21 slices of rarefied and powerfully swinging work. And besides loads of the maestro's incendiary solos, the disc also spotlights other young bop talent like James Moody, Sonny Stitt, and Kenny Clarke. Beware, though: In between top-flight solo work and crack material like "Emanon" and "One Bass Hit," there are some razzy vocals and sundry hijinks, too. Still, the material all has the magic Gillespie touch and that's certainly not a bad thing. ~ Stephen Cook

Steve Tyrell has attracted enough attention for his two regular albums, A New Standard and Standard Time, that he is almost beyond journalists' usual tack of describing a new singer's voice by who he sounds like; pretty soon, they'll be saying that other singers sound like him. But it remains true that if you have never heard him but you are familiar with Dr. John, your first reaction upon hearing him is likely to be that you are listening to Dr. John. Well, maybe a younger Dr. John, and one whose accent isn't quite as swampy. But the basic elements -- the grit and gravel in the tone, the slurred, deep South phrasing -- are much the same. Of course, Tyrell comes by the sound of his voice honestly, hailing from Houston, TX, and boasting a musical career (albeit, ...

1946-1947 album
$14.49
Recorded live at the Cologne Philharmonic Hall, Cologne, Germany on February 7, 1998. Includes liner notes by Lalo Schifrin.
Having your own record company means being able to put out your music the way you want to. Lalo Schifrin won the 1965 Grammy for Best Original Jazz Composition for "Jazz Suite on the Mass Texts." Thirty-three years later, he recorded this much-expanded version at the Cologne Philharmonic Hall, backed by the WDR Big Band and soloists including woodwind player Tom Scott. As is usually the case when a contemporary composer attempts to contemporize the Latin Mass, the two elements -- the prayers that make up the Mass and whatever the musical form is -- sit uneasily with each other, pretty much as if they are taking place simultaneously in two different rooms and the listener just happens to be sitting in the hall between. As his award indicates, Schifrin has written some good jazz-based music and laid a foundation for various soloists to improvise. But the entry of the choir singing "Kyrie" or "Gloria" is always odd and unexpected. Though this work was commissioned in a more open time for the Catholic church, it's easy to see why such experiments didn't go on long. While well meaning, they don't really work. ~ William Ruhlmann

1946-1947 songs
$13.85
The last two Vandermark 5 outings, Simpatico and Burn the Incline, were without a doubt sounds from a band coming into their own as a collective. Compositionally they seemed at the wall -- at the margin, or limit -- of where they could go as a band at that point. In other words, those two records were as good as they could possibly have been. With Acoustic Machine, the story is different altogether. Vandermark has become a composer, not only of compelling new jazz, but also for the Vandermark 5 as a unit. His writing and arranging for Jeb Bishop, Tim Mulvenna, Kent Kessler, and Dave Rempis is player-specific, tailoring certain sections, modes, and intervals to the strengths of particular players, thereby maximizing their contributions to the unit. Because of this development in Vandermark's already considerable skill as a composer, the Vandermark 5 are a much stronger band. Consequently, Acoustic Machine is a significant step forward for an already fine band. Each of the compositions here is dedicated to a particularly influential artist in Vandermark's own developmental iconography; the "HBF Series" -- the first short pieces ever released by the group, which are interspersed throughout the disc -- pays homage to visionary minimalist composer Morton Feldman. Each part in the series is a small work destined to extract the maximum viscera from space and silence while examining the relationships of instruments in tandem with one another timbrally. Other works are dedicated to Archie Shepp, Elvin Jones, Julius Hemphill, Stan Getz, and Lester Young.
"Fall to Grace," dedicated to Jones, is a sprightly, loose-swinging post-bop blues number. Kessler's bass seems to stride the track, allowing Rempis' tenor solo before Vandermark and Bishop clamp in for a long, loping melodic line that ends in Kessler's solo. Vamping out straight from ...
