The L.A.-based keyboardist has released his share of solo and group jazz fusion recordings but till now has been known far more for his amazing work with legends like Stan Getz, Wayne Shorter, Pat Metheny, and John Scofield, as well as various smooth jazz performers. Perhaps one of the reasons he's less known as a solo performer is that, when doing his own thing, he never compromises. He plays with fire and intensity, building themes and jamming when tailoring and dumbing down is more rewarded. Artistically, this pays off with this exciting live date, with Forman and his good friends Brandon Fields (sax), Walt Fowler (trumpet, flugelhorn), Dave Carpenter (bass), and Joel Taylor (drums). Forman enjoys the freedom to spread out. He introduces "Gorgeous" with a gentle acoustic piano melody before slowly introducing the lush and romantic horn duality of Fields and Fowler, who add emotional texture to an already pretty piece. Fields' later reflective solo captures one of L.A.'s finest players in action. Forman may have used the title "Patience" to describe his listener waiting for his moody piano intro to lead somewhere on the second cut, but, again, his slow build pays off with some percussive ensemble work with Taylor and Fields. Fields and Fowler tease before exploding towards the middle, both in tandem and then separately. Forman switches to electric piano for Herbie Hancock's nutty "Spank-A-Lee," and his energetic interaction with the horns is worth the price of admission alone. Another highlight is the chugging percussion line beneath the subtle rising horns on "Origin." The disc was recorded live at the Baked Potato, one of L.A.'s most open-minded clubs where folks will listen even if the hook takes a few minutes to get to. Anyone who thinks jazz fusion isn't hip anymore should get a load of this one. ~ Jonathan Widran An exciting live date featuring the Mitchel Forman trio, with special guests, Brandon Fields (sax) and Walt Fowler (trumpet). This recording captures the intimacy of one of LA. 's oldest jazz haunts, the Baked Potato, and the excitement of Forman's quintet setting the place on fire. With liner notes by Nat Hentoff.
Includes liner notes by Nat Hentoff.

| | F Wasifuddin Dagar Dhrupad CD (2005)
Mr. Clean album
$15.25
The Dagar Family are today's torch bearers of Dhrupad singing, the highest devotional art form from North India's rich and vibrant music heritage. Wasifuddin Dagar represents the twentieth unbroken generation of Dhrupad singers in this remarkable family. As well as successfully passing on the tradition from one generation to the next, the family has also been committed to sharing their vast musical knowledge with devoted students from all corners of the world. The following is an extract from the anecdotes of Ms. Laurence Bastit, a student of the Dagar family for the last twenty years, and accompanist on the tanpura for this special performance. 'I was very happy when Wasifuddin Dagar received the invitation sent by Nandan Mehta to participate in the 21st Saptak Festival of Indian Music, in Ahmedabad. It brought back to my memory so many souvenirs, when he had first come accompanying his father and uncle on tanpura in 1988. Then after his father's untimely demise in 1989, his further visits as partner of his uncle-cum-guru, Ustad N. Zahiruddin Dagar.I guess it was not a small challenge to perform in his father's place, and that too in front of such a knowledgeable audience. He has always dreaded this feeling to be compared to his elders and has strived to be recognised as an independent upcoming musician. Such a famous family name is a great source of inspiration and pride, but at the same time it puts on the performer an immense responsibility. Since his uncle's death in 1994, having performed, toured and recorded all over the world, some measure of confidence had grown in him. No doubt, the discerning Saptak audience is always warm and inspiring yet for Wasifuddin, the challenge prevails. He was aware that many a listener while hearing his concert will remember his elders' performances over the years, from before the time he was born. That Sunday, January 20, 2002, reaching the Poonam Hotel gave us both an eerie feeling of home coming. We have stayed in this same hotel since 1988, with its familiar decorations of musical instruments and artistic photo evocations of the greats in Indian music and dance. While settling his mood for the concert in the evening, the musician due to perform after Wasifuddin sent a "messenger" asking him which raga he planned to perform. In his family, they prepare their mood to bring on themselves God's grace that He should inspire them to sing to their best, and according to the prayer, the specific raga may channel itself through the tanpura (a four stringed drone instrument) in the process of tuning it in the green room just before the performance. ...
