With Sidewalk Meeting, saxophonist Ted Nash premieres a new, highly unconventional group called Odeon. Nash, playing saxophones and clarinets, is joined by Wycliffe Gordon on trombone and sousaphone, Miri Ben-Ari on violin, Jeff Ballard and Matt Wilson on drums, and Bill Schimmel on accordion. The absence of bass -- Gordon fills in the bottom with his sousaphone as much as he can -- makes Odeon far from your ordinary jazz group, although jazz improvisation is mainly what informs the band's approach to repertoire. Nash opens with his arrangement of Claude Debussy's "Premier Rhapsody" and makes it sound like Duke Ellington. Schimmel gets his accordion to sound like a full big-band saxophone section, a feat he also accomplishes during the groovy "Jump Line." Gordon often goes for maximum effect on the wah trombone, particularly with his intro to "Sidewalk Meeting (I)," which evolves into a beautiful folk song for bass clarinet, trombone, and violin. "Sidewalk Meeting (II)" closes the album with the same melody, but hyped up to a jamboree tempo. Nash also mixes up the instrumentation with "Reverie," a masterful clarinet/accordion duet, and Thelonious Monk's "Bemsha Swing," a jam-style foray for tenor sax, sousaphone, and drums. Odeon seamlessly integrates the different sides of Nash's musical personality (he's a member of both the maverick Jazz Composers Collective and the more conservative Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra), and that's just the kind of bridge-building that modern jazz needs. ~ David R. Adler

Purchase Sidewalk Meeting CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Gerald Wilson Detroit CD (2009)
Sidewalk Meeting
 $14.69   
Audio Mixer: Todd Whitelock.
Photographer: Raj Naik.
Detroit comprises a six-composition suite commissioned for the 2009 thirtieth anniversary Detroit International Jazz Festival, played in the studio with musicians from composer/arranger Gerald Wilson's Los Angeles home or New York City area. Curiously, there are no Motor City-based players on the disc, but the themes are based in certain locales from the industrial Midwestern City that has fallen on hard economic times but played a pivotal role in the development of Wilson's highly developed skills as a composer, arranger, and bandleader. A quite spirited and energetic music is heard here from the 90-year-old Wilson, whose charm and wit would rival anyone many decades his junior. It's a swinging affair molded in the traditional big-band visage of Count Basie, Ernie Wilkins, or early Quincy Jones, with Wilson's deft touch for embellishing the blues. Players like trumpeter Sean Jones, son/guitarist Anthony Wilson, violinist Yvette Devereaux, the fine pianist Brian O'Rourke, and particularly L.A. alto saxophonist and flutist Randall Willis or Kamasi Washington on tenor sax, spice up the band's ensemble and solo contributions. The suite begins with "Blues on Belle Isle," a bopping tribute to the riverside playground ...

Kind of Blue isn't merely an artistic highlight for Miles Davis, it's an album that towers above its peers, a record generally considered as the definitive jazz album, a universally acknowledged standard of excellence. Why does Kind of Blue posses such a mystique? Perhaps because this music never flaunts its genius. It lures ...

| | Marc Copland Night Whispers New York Trio Recordings: Volume 3 CD (2009) (Import) Germany
Sidewalk Meeting
$16.09
Personnel: Marc Copland (piano); Drew Gress (bass instrument); Bill Stewart (drums).
From Erroll Garner to Cecil Taylor to Bill Evans, and from Chick Corea to Thelonious Monk, a wide variety of acoustic jazz pianists have thrived in the time-honored piano trio setting (piano, bass, and drums) over the years. It's a setting that has never gone out of style in jazz, and it's a setting that has served acoustic pianist Marc Copland well in his New York Trio Recordings series. The lineup has varied from one volume to the next; on New York Trio Recordings, Vol. 3: Night Whispers, Copland is joined by bassist Drew Gress and drummer Bill Stewart (whereas he was joined by bassist Gary Peacock and Stewart on Vol. 1 and by Peacock and drummer Paul Motian on Vol. 2). The constant in the series, of course, has been Copland, who is in good form throughout this 2008 recording and enjoys a nice rapport with Gress and Stewart. Copland obviously enjoys the role of acoustic trio pianist, and his enthusiasm is evident on three Copland originals ("Scattered Leaves," "The Bell Tolls," and the title track) as well as on impressionistic performances of the standards "Emily" (no less than three different takes ...
