Guy Warren (aka "Kofi Ghanaba") was a pioneer of African and American drumming who played with some major jazz figures. But Divine Drummer, recorded in London in 1969 and 1970, is definitely not jazz, nor is it exactly African music. It goes beyond anything, as a unique statement. Warren plays a staggering variety of percussion instruments -- in addition to piano, harmonica, marimba, and other things -- all with plenty of fire (but also, underneath it, a sense of humor). But really, it's his drumming that's the raison d'etre for this album, and he really approaches that as an African artist -- his drumming isn't simply a rhythm, it's a totality of beat, melody, and spirit that takes frequent flight into the free form and avant-garde. And he uses literally everything at his disposal -- even clearing his throat becomes a musical statement. This is, really, a highly evolved statement of musical personality with some incredible musicianship -- but maybe not for musical novices. ~ Chris Nickson Guy Warren Divine Drummer Songs Divine Drummer Review

Diana Krall's first studio outing since she and husband Elvis Costello became the proud parents of twin boys, 2009's QUIET NIGHTS finds the jazz singer/pianist turning in a serene and pleasantly subdued set.

An extraordinary jazz vocalist, Sue (Oatts) Tucker, comes from a family of known jazz musicians. She didn't have to look far for encouragement when her love for singing took off. "My father, Jack Oatts, was one of the first jazz educators in Iowa. Music was always around... mostly jazz." Her brothers, Jim and Dick Oatts, are also internationally known and respected jazz artists.Before she took up singing, Sue was blowin' her tenor sax in jazz band and playing a duet with Clark Terry at a jazz festival on her clarinet. "I think playing a horn has had a great influence on my singing. I've tried to approach singing from an instrumental mindset. Space is just as important as sound."After attending college, Sue began a studio career producing and singing jingles and industrials with a voice-over thrown in on occasion. She spent seven years teaching music theory, vocal studio techniques and was the coordinator of the ensemble dept. at McNally Smith College ...
| | Lee Konitz Portology CD (2007)
Divine Drummer album
$13.39
The great alto saxophone master Lee Konitz joins Portugal's Orquestra Jazz de Matosinhos directed by Ohad Talmor for this studio session of progressive big band music that is consistently surprising and original. Konitz is given quite a bit of solo space, surrounded by an expansive-sounding band that is clearly influenced by the precepts of Oliver Nelson, Gil Evans, and their European counterparts and disciples. There are four stand-alone compositions and two large suites, all written and arranged by Talmor save Konitz's famous hard bop piece "Sound Lee." The three-part medley tribute to Ornette Coleman, "Ornetty," is rhythmically spastic, up and down dynamically, and skittish melodically, and it has a somber middle section in remembrance of the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center. The five-section "Rhythm Sweet" is split into short snippets in a mainstream jazz style, ranging from straight to easy swinging, with "To Be or Not To" sounding similar to the standard "Mean to Me." A darker, stealth guitar-fed motif, film noir section punctuated by the piquant, tart-sweet alto of Konitz, and back-to-bop finale show a wide range of latter jazz tradition for the remaining ...
| | Orgullo De Michoacan:20 Exitos Vol 1 CD (2007)
$9.05 | | Stackridge Forbidden City CDs (2007) (Import) United Kingdom
Divine Drummer CD music
$20.25
2008 two CD live release, recorded at a sold-out performance in Bath, England during April 2007. The gig whilst being memorable for them playing all their popular songs also heralded the return to live performances of Mutter Slater, who has always commanded audience attention and participation. Includes band members James Warren and Andy Davis, also known as The Korgis! 24 tracks. Angel Air.
Stackridge embarked on their long and winding road back in 1969, when guitarist James Warren joined forces with fellow axeman Andy Davis and bassist Crun Walter. Swiftly expanding to a sextet, the band released its eponymous debut album in 1971. Friendliness arrived the following year, and their masterpiece, the George Martin-produced The Man in the Bowler Hat, appeared in 1973 -- at which point Stackridge underwent the first of the many upheavals that would inflict the band and its members over the decades. There would be considerable ups and down, and a kaleidoscope of lineups as members left and returned, but fans remained loyal. That's evident from Forbidden City, a live recording of the band's April 2007 sold-out show at Bath's Rondo Theatre. It was a triumphant ...
