Kenny Clarke-Francy Bolland Big Band: Kenny Clarke (drums); Francy Bolland (piano); Derek Humble (alto saxophone); Carl Drevo, Billy Mitchell, Ronnie Scott (tenor saxophone); Sahib Shihab (baritone saxophone, flute); Benny Bailey, Roger Guerin, Jimmy Deuchar, Ahmed Muvaffak Falay, Idrees Sulieman, Edmund Falay (trumpet); Ake Persson, Nat Peck, Erich Keinschuster, Raymond Katarsynski, Frederic "Keg" Jonson (trombone); Jimmy Woode (bass); Joe Harris (tympani); Sadi (bongos).
One of the great jazz orchestras of the 1960s and '70s -- and one rarely heard, either live or on record, in the United States -- was the Kenny Clarke-Francy Boland Big Band. This overseas group (which was equally filled with Americans and Europeans) was a hard-swinging modern mainstream ensemble, analogous in ways to Rob McConnell's Boss Brass of the 1980s and '90s. This double-CD set (which was put out in 1992 but not made available in the U.S. until 1995) has a particularly exciting live concert performance by the big band. Overflowing with soloists (including trumpeters Benny Bailey, Art Farmer, and Idrees Sulieman, trombonist Ake Persson, and a sax section comprised of Derek Humble, Johnny Griffin, Sahib Shihab, Tony Coe, and Ronnie Scott), the band is quite powerful throughout the set with Griffin generally taking solo honors. Easily recommended. ~ Scott Yanow
Kenny Clarke's 11-year collaboration with Francy Boland produced many fine records, but most of them have not reappeared as CDs. Happily, this 1962 session is once again available, showcasing the Clark-Boland Big Band's mix of top-notch European and expatriated American musicians. Boland wrote all of the arrangements and four of the six songs, with his "Long Note Blues (Here Is Cecco Peppe)" opening the album with a flourish. Cole Porter's "Get out of Town" has a Thelonious Monk-like introduction and recurring motif, alternating with the muted brass. Clarke's "Sonor" is another burning blues, featuring tenor saxophonist Ronnie Scott and Billy Mitchell along with trumpeters Benny Bailey and Idrees Suileman. Although pretty brief by CD standards at just 34 minutes 26 seconds, there's absolutely no filler in this highly recommended CD. ~ Ken Dryden
Originally released on Atlantic (1404).
Includes liner notes by Ralph J. Gleason.
Digitally remastered by Gene Paul.

Although Bill Holman is one of the all-time great arrangers and the leader of a stirring big band in the Los Angeles area, this was his first recording as a leader in seven years. Performed at a Maynard Ferguson tribute convention/festival put on by Ken Poston, the music played by the Bill Holman Orchestra is a little more boppish than usual for a Holman set, particularly the romping "Zoot 'n' Al," a tribute to Zoot Sims and Al Cohn. However, Holman's arrangements are quite complex, full of surprises and full of excitement. Whether it be a major reworking of the Beatles' "A Day in the Life" and Charlie Parker's "Donna Lee," or such originals as "Woodrow" (for Woody Herman) and "The Bebop Love Song," the music is full of surprising twists ...

$14.35 
Phil Woods, the great American saxophonist, has been featured in more diverse settings than almost anyone in the history of the music. His constant challenging of himself as a player, bandleader, and composer has been admirable since his debut set as a leader. While standards sets these days are not only a dime a dozen but mostly cop-outs from established artists and newcomers who either lost or never had the chops to execute them with any aesthetic imprint, let alone the one they deserve, septuagenarian Woods breathes life into ten of these tunes, and reinvents them both as harmonic structures and as tools for swing. With trumpeter Brian Lynch, pianist Bill Charlap (a fine leader in his own right), bassist Steve Gilmore, and Billy Goodwin on drums, Woods takes on "Foggy Day" as if it were a ...

$13.05
In the early '80s, saxophonist Ted Richardson, a geologist by day, commissioned Bill Holman to write material for a septet album. After all of the ten arrangements were written, the project never took place and the charts sat in a closet for 20 years. Carl Saunders, lead trumpeter with Holman for many years and a brilliant soloist, unearthed the arrangements, and on this 2007 CD the music was finally recorded. ...

Formed in New York City in 2002, The Sad Little Stars are Max Low and Rachel McIntosh on vocals and various instruments. Both recently transplanted mid-westerners, they struck up an immediate bond in the keyboard section of a Manhattan music store. Their first release, The Stars Below, is a fifteen-song recording released in 2003 written by Max Low and produced by Brad Albetta (Martha Wainwright, Freedy Johnston, Teddy Thompson) at Monkey Boy Studios, New York. It was recorded there and at Low's home studio using a combination of everything from micro-cassette recorders to 4-tracks machines to digital recorders. A thoroughly unconventional yet familiar collection of instruments combines with guitars, synthesizers and drum machines to imbue the band with their unique sound. However, the modest arrangements, subtle vocals and warm lyrics give the listener a feeling that no notes have been wasted, despite the variety of instruments on the record. Lyrically, the songs are intensely personal and romantic, while retaining an impressionistic quality that allows the listener to freely supplant their own feelings on the situations described. Songs like "We Were Just Waking Up," "Nothing Ever Happens When You're Gone," and "I'm Waiting For You to Change Your Mind," while seemingly direct in their intentions, tell their respective stories in broad strokes.The Sad Little Stars are defining a new voice in pop, one that is both reminiscent of the great duos of the 70's and yet completely modern and distinct. ...
