Pianist Mike LeDonne's second recording is most notable for the outstanding and contrasting playing of trumpeter Tom Harrell and baritonist Gary Smulyan. While Harrell is lyrical and melodic, Smulyan is forceful and swings quite hard. With bassist Dennis Irwin and drummer Kenny Washington offering stimulating support, the three lead voices are in top form. LeDonne contributed three fine originals and, other than the standard "My Ideal," the other four songs (Duke Pearson's "Ready Rudy?," Duke Ellington's "The Feeling of Jazz," Buddy Montgomery's "Bock to Bock," and Wynton Kelly's "Action") are all superior obscurities. Easily recommended to straight-ahead jazz fans. ~ Scott Yanow

| | Bebel Gilberto All In One CD (2009)
Feeling Of Jazz music CDs
$12.05 With ALL IN ONE, Bebel Gilberto made her home at Verve, which is not just an auspicious label for music but also the home of some of the best Brazilian records of all time--by Antonio Carlos Jobim, Astrud Gilberto (who is no relation, although she was married to Bebel's father before Bebel's birth), Stan Getz, and, of course, her father, Joao Gilberto. It's obvious Gilberto is well aware of this: the cover is reminiscent of an Astrud Gilberto album and she sings a version of "Bim Bom," which was written by her father and is known popularly for Astrud's version (what's more, it features the piano work of Brazilian royalty Dan Jobim). Still, it's clear Bebel Gilberto knows where to draw the line, and ALL IN ONE is defined more by her songs and her collaborators than the weight of Brazilian musical history that she must carry. Multi-percussionist Carlinhos Brown gets the most instrument credits (his kit bag must weigh a ton), and his string of percussion instruments ...

| | Speedy West Flamin' Guitars CDs (1997) (Import) Import; Boxed Set; Germany
Feeling Of Jazz songs
$97.49 Perhaps the most difficult thing in writing about a box set like this is how to convey in words -- few or many -- the magic, wonder, and intimidating musicianship that is contained on these recordings. Over four CDs, the seeds, roots, branches, and trees of a musical partnership were formed and lived out on the public stage, and remain all but unknown to those who were not country music fans during the era. While one Speedy West & Jimmy Bryant compilation has appeared on Razor & Tie, as a single disc it only begins to offer the legend of this pair of musical innovators. For starters, Speedy West was the first picker to use a pedal steel guitar in the business in 1948 -- and he was doing it in L.A., not Nashville. It's true that Leon McAuliffe had played the steel guitar earlier while playing with Bob Wills, but none of those instruments had pedals. The partnership with Jimmy Bryant was forged in a barroom one night after Speedy's set, and it became of the most prolific and enduring in music history, ending only with the death of Bryant in 1980. The mutant, futuristic kind of Western swing that had extrapolated from Bob Wills' creation is enduring, still forward-looking, and truly out of time and space. As for partners who were undaunted, the adversity these cats encountered with their space age country bachelor pad music -- especially from the fascists in Music City -- was formidable. But they succumbed not a bit, used not one sound effect that wasn't already installed in the volume knob or reverb pedals, and ended up making dozens of records and playing sessions with everybody from Bing Crosby to Spike Jones to Jean Shepard to Merle Travis to the Billy May Orchestra.
The Bear Family box begins with the earliest solo sides in late September 1949, when Bryant cut four tracks with Corky Carpenter on vocals. They include "Just Remember," "Jelly Bean's Daddy," "Boogie Barn Dance," and "Gamblin' Money." These are unadulterated Western swing tunes with Bryant's penchant for tossing in Django Reinhardt chord voicings into the breaks. Next up is "Steel Strike," a single Speedy cut for Capitol as a sideman for an Eddie Kirk session. It's the beginning, here in 1950, of where he wants to go with his own music -- and that finally happens in September of that same year when he and Bryant cut "Bryant's Boogie" and "Red Headed Polka," two scathing instrumentals that put the focus on the strings to sing. It's still a mutation of Bob Will's Western swing, but it also prefigures rockabilly and slips bebop lines into its breaks to bring all the music of the day firmly into view. Over the course of 12 years, the pair cut an astonishing 91 sides -- and these are just the master takes -- with producer Ken Nelson in the Capitol studios. These do not include any of the work the pair did as sidemen for other artists, which would make up an entire box set of its own. Bear Family has been judicious ...
