Many of Dexter Gordon's finest recordings were cut in Europe just prior to his triumphant return to the United States. This album was recorded just weeks before and it is one of the veteran tenor's best. With strong assistance from pianist Barry Harris, bassist Sam Jones and drummer Al Foster, Dexter plays exciting solos on "I'll Remember April," a warm version of "Skylark" and his two originals, "Apple Jump" and "A La Modal." It is highly recommended, as are all of Dexter Gordon's SteepleChase recordings from this period. ~ Scott Yanow
Recorded on November 9, 1976. Includes liner notes by Bob Porter.
Personnel: Dexter Gordon (tenor saxophone); Barry Harris (piano); Sam Jones (bass); Al Foster (drums).

Biting The Apple album
 $14.19 
"Dear Old Stockholm" was nominated for a 1998 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Solo.
Many elder statesmen of jazz are afforded respect simply because of their name and what they've done in the past. Not so for pianist Tommy Flanagan. While it would hardly be an exaggeration to call him a living legend, incredibly, Flanagan's technique seems to only improve with age. In fact, for SEA CHANGES, Flanagan returns to much of the repertoire he recorded for his first session as a leader forty years earlier.

The second Leo Records CD by the Swiss composer/pianist Michel Wintsch features Gerry Hemingway, Banz Oester, Marie Schwab & Natalie Saudan. The album was recorded after a long tour of Belgium, Germany, Poland & the Czech Republic. It's a fusion of a mal
Pianist/composer Michel Wintsch's music is jazz-based but heavily influenced by elements of contemporary European-derived art music. The band's unusual instrumentation reflects this most directly; the front line is comprised of a violinist and a violist. The presence of one or the other is unusual enough, but for a jazz ensemble to use both is well-nigh unprecedented. By the record's second cut, it's clear that the peculiar lineup is a natural outgrowth of Wintsch's conception. The track, "Painter Mikailov," is built on a gentle bass ostinato, over which the two string players etch a deceptively simple and mildly convoluted melody in unison and two-part harmony. The quiet melody and counterpoint is so completely ...

Yankee Grey has been met with stunning success and considerable hardship since releasing their debut album in 1999. That album spawned 2 top 40 hits with their first single, "All Things Considered" skyrocketing to number seven on the National Country Radio charts. That success was followed up by the top ten hit, "Another Nine Minutes" and finally by their emotional ballad, "This Time Around." The group had enormous fan support and embarked on an 18 month national tour that included all fifty states and Canada. At the same time, Yankee Grey also garnered critical acclaim and was an Academy of Country Music nominee for "Best Duo or Group" in 2000. The band's new release, on Stonewall Records, is simply entitled "Yankee Grey 2" and is a return to the classic YG sound.Yankee Grey has gone through a lot of changes since the band came together 16 years ago. Brought together in 1986 by ...
| | Stephanie Rearick Bucket Rider CD (2003)
Biting The Apple album
$14.19
When a record reviewer comments that a CD holds up to repeated listening, it is always meant as a compliment. Necessity can sometimes be the motivation in returning a disc to the player, providing the listener feels any urgency to understand what an artist might be trying to say. Stephanie Rearick should be very proud of The Bucket Rider, a solo effort created in 2003 -- but like the Franz Kafka writing from which its title comes, this is a work that requires thought and concentration and is delightfully relaxed about the concept of rewarding its audience with specific insight. It is not like getting smacked in the head with a hammer, an action in which the meaning is clear but just about the last activity anybody would want to experience in repeated doses. Truly concentrating on creations such as The Bucket Rider can be difficult, a challenging situation for the musician who is also a lyricist. Rearick's instrumental skills on piano pretty much dominate the first listening; this is a one person and one piano album, despite the occasional overdubbing effect. But it is not the affair of a fool's book of songs, simple chords pounding away behind sweaty emotional messages. Rather, the most positive aspect of progressive rock is here in its full glory, that being the overwhelming influence of classical music. A performance from one of 20th century composer Samuel Barber's collection of songs is in the program, so this aspect extends beyond influence into repertoire itself. Mostly, though, Rearick likes to reference Bartók, Debussy, Stravinsky, and others in the context of pieces that include tantalizing vocals, singing words that surely must be at the heart of the CD's true meaning.
The piano continues to attract most of the attention the second time The Bucket Rider enters the listening salon. This time around it is something of a love affair with the instrument extending to the sound of the piano in the recording and how that is developed through the course of 14 different pieces. There is character to spare in the way this keyboard speaks; if an actor were chosen to interpret the part of this piano sound it would have to be Sir Alec Guinness, Basil Rathbone, someone like that. The piano sometimes sounds pristine, sometimes sounds funky, is intentionally out of tune on the marvelous "Clyde." A repeated clinker on this track rivals, for courage in the face of despair, the messed-up note Keith Jarrett keeps playing on a bad electric piano on the Miles Davis Live-Evil album. Attempts are made to establish the third listen-through as an organizational milestone in which the ...
