Glen Duncan CD

Glen Duncan CD music Their self-titled debut had been released two years earlier, but 1971's WHERE'S THE MONEY? launched Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks into their brief time in the spotlight. Few acts choose to offer up a live release so early in their career, but it was a wise move for this outfit. This set captures their jazzy charm and lilting nostalgia, as well as the sardonic wit of their leader. Dan Hicks's songwriting influences are wide-ranging, drawing on Django Reinhardt's cabaret flair, Western swing, romantic pop, and more. He ...

Glen Duncan album for sale Jarrod Birmingham is the real thing in a country music scene filled with poseurs, "real" country in the same way that, say, Merle Haggard and Dwight Yoakam are but Garth Brooks never really was. He even namechecks his idols (Haggard, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Willie Nelson, etc.) in the opening track, "Best I Can," but he's wise not to put himself on their level. A former professional bull rider from the Texas gulf coast, Birmingham favors hell-raising honky tonk with a rock edge over pop-friendly balladry. This is definitely a good thing, although Birmingham protests ...

Glen Duncan songs Famous Duets is a misnomer; while these songs are duets, they're hardly famous -- none of them even charted. Those with Jean Shepard are as lively as one might expect from Sovine. ~ Jason Ankeny Personnel: Red Sovine (vocals, guitar).

Glen Duncan songs Lesentu "Sometimes, musicians who've previously played together in various contexts experience an immediate rapport when they first perform as a group. That's just what happened to pianist Milcho Leviev, bassist Pat Senatore and drummer Kevin Tullius. "I had played with both Milcho and Kevin in different situations and always felt comfortable. So when I had a trio gig at a Beverly Hills restaurant last year I called them," says Senatore, the ex-Stan Kenton and Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass Sideman who ran the renowned Pasquale's Jazz Club in Malibu from 1977 to 1983 and now is the musical director and in-house performer at Herb Alpert's Vibrato Grill and Jazz Club. "From that engagement, we've developed a real empathy. We're so tuned into each other that no matter what we do, it seems to meld." That's the feeling on this CD by the three artists who call themselves LESENTU (pronounced 'listen to'; the name is drawn from the first letters of the players last names, making it effectively a co-op group). The music is relaxed and inviting and was completed in first takes. "It went down smoothly," said Senatore. "The music sounded so natural. It's not like a normal piano-bass-drums trio. We have three guys playing music." Well put. The bassist, a solid drum player who is a fixture in Los Angeles area jazz circles and whose latest solo release, Pasquale, features bassoonist Paul Hanson and drummer Billy Higgins had good words about colleagues, both of whom are also L.A. jazz scene regulars. "Milcho [a Bulgarian emigre who co-founded the group Free Flight] has tremendous facility and is very creative and emotional musician," says Pat. "Kevin [a co-founder of the Los Angeles Jazz Quartet] is a very musical drummer. He fits in so well, adding more like another voice, not just drums. And like Milcho, he writes beautifully." The tunes include the little known but lovely bossa, "Dee Song," by the Italian composer Enrico Pieranunzi, the heartfelt "Miyako" by composer-saxophone giant Wayne Shorter, Charles Lloyd's "Forest Flower," as well as compelling originals by the members such as Senatore's title track, Leviev's "Passacaglia" and Tullius' "To Helen Suzanne." These days, so many jazz albums are full of heated, high-energy selections that it's a lovely surprise to hear the less rigorous, more expressive aspects of the music. That's just what Milcho Leviev, Pat Senatore and Kevin Tullius offer with Lesentu. There have to be scores of listeners for an album just like this. - Zan StewartContributor, Los Angeles Times, Down Beat, Stereophile
