Back in the late '80s, Kim Pensyl's first two Pensyl Sketches albums ranked among the genre's most popular piano works; since that time, he's been expanding his artistic boundaries, first adding a live band and then switching off the lead melody with his first instrument, trumpet. While his smoky horn work on Quiet Café is at least as appealing as his gently rhythmic ivory touch, it's unlikely that he'll topple Rick Braun's reign as today's premiere trumpeter. Nonetheless, it makes sense for Pensyl to so gracefully recall his childhood horn since the disc is in memory of his mother. If, as his liner notes indicate, this music is reflective of her spirit, then she was a lady light on her feet, with equal love for cool '70s jazz/soul (on "Dancing Shadows" he uses synth to create a jumpy Fender Rhodes and wah-wah guitar sound blend) and laid-back Brazilian music -- on the title track, Pensyl's piano and flügelhorn sway in the light breeze created by acoustic guitarist Kevin Turner. While he varies rhythm from samba to thick urban funk, his most effective expression of love and loss occurs on the ballad "Old Friend," where he strips down to a thoughtful duet of piano and trumpet. ~ Jonathan Widran

Quiet Cafe songs
$9.65
On Let It Ripp, the contemporary jazz masters known as the Rippingtons offer a mixed exhibition of musical paintings that freely roam their "live" aesthetic more than on any previous studio project. Recorded with no outside musicians except for the horns of Jerry Hey, Gary Grant, and Steven Hoffman, this excellent collection of 11 original songs written by Russ Freeman exemplifies the culmination of 17 years of being on the road. Special guest saxophonist Eric Marienthal (whose killer chops have been heard with the likes of Chick Corea's Elektric Band, among others) provides ...

Quiet Cafe CD music
$8.15
Life in the Tropics -- the first Peak Records release for the Rippingtons -- features guitarist Russ Freeman and is a great smooth jazz celebration of rhythmic delights that resemble the tropical splendor of an island oasis. The natural beauty of each composition is reflected by the great talents of the Rippingtons: Kim Stone on bass, Dave Kochanski on keyboards, Ramon Yslas on percussion, and Dave Hooper on drums, along with special guests the great saxophonists Dave Koz, Eric Marienthal, and Paul Taylor, keyboardist Bob James, and guitarist Peter White. The centerpiece of this CD is "Love Child," a sensuous mid-tempo ballad that alternates the brilliant sax work of Marienthal and Taylor as Freeman strums an emotional string sonnet under soulful synths and keyboards. ...
