Sonny Rollins Without A Song: The 9/11 Concert CD (2005)

Bridge album

$9.65

Recorded on September 15th, 2001, WITHOUT A SONG is a live recording by jazz icon Sonny Rollins, observing the World Trade Center disaster that occurred just four days prior to the concert. Rollins was one of the few musicians from jazz's golden age still performing with a sense of vitality, and that is especially clear on this recording, which is imbued with the gravity appropriate to the aforementioned tragedy. Yet the proceedings are never overwhelmed by pathos or grief. Instead, Rollins and his five-piece ensemble offer spirited takes on the standards "Where or When" and "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square," and Rollins's own Latin-inflected "Global Warming." The wit, range, and dexterity that made the saxophonist's name are in evidence throughout, making WITHOUT A SONG a fine showcase ...

Thelonious Monk At Carnegie Hall CD (2005)

Bridge CD music

$12.89

On paper it seems as if such titanic and distinctive musical personalities as Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane might not mix very well, but this stellar set, recorded live at Carnegie Hall in 1957, plays almost like a blissful extended duet between the two (with support from a sensitive yet hard-swinging bassist and drummer). The opener, "Monk's Mood," for example, features the composer/pianist's typically brilliant, idiosyncratic playing, while Coltrane floats over the top in the most lyrical of modes. Monk, in particular, is a master of tension-and-release tunefulness, creating rhythmic and harmonic intricacies that seem to spur Coltrane's saxophone exploration to new heights. The quartet shines on ballads ("Sweet and Lovely"), but the leaders display their best chemistry on the Monk's thorny, uptempo bop numbers. "Evidence" and "Epistrophy," for instance," have Monk adding rhythmic, dissonant punctuation to Coltrane's ...

Dave Holland Extended Play: Live At Birdland CDs (2003)

Bridge music CDs

$21.15

EXTENDED PLAY was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Album. With a front line that features saxophone, trombone, and vibraphone/marimba, the Dave Holland Quintet features an immediately identifiable band sound. As for backing, bassist Holland and traps man Billy Kilson provide a push-me-pull-you, supple and responsive rhythm section that is an embarrassment of riches when it comes to accompaniment ideas. The thing that separates the men from the boys in the world of jazz improvisation is listening--when the performers are paying close attention to one another, the creative horizons are all but limitless. It would be a slight to say this quintet is all on the same page, better to imagine they all bring their knowledge of great art and fine cuisine to bear each time they play together--it's a multi-faceted, heady brew. Holland's compositions are angular but never dissonant, polished but also earthy. The illusion is that these tunes flow effortlessly from this smart ensemble. The truth is that this is one of the best groups in early 21st-century jazz, based on a refined collective sensibility that ...

Andrew Hill Passing Ships CD (1969) Remastered

Bridge album

$9.69

This larger group session was recorded for Blue Note in 1969 but had to wait until 2003 to see the light of day. It was worth the wait, since PASSING SHIPS is one of composer-pianist Andrew Hill's most varied and distinctive efforts. Actually, the group here isn't all that big when you check the lineup, but Hill's skillful writing makes it sound as if we're listening to a more spacious ensemble. In addition, he makes most effective use of reedman Joe Farrell's multi-instrumental talents here. Not only does Farrell excel in the usual tenor and soprano saxophone roles but it's his English horn that sings the plaintive theme on the title track and his dusky alto flute that establishes the mood of the exotic "Noon Tide." The writing throughout is fresh and, most of all, coherent, which can't be said for all free-jazz endeavors of the era. But Andrew Hill had a particular knack for making the avant-garde a part of the mainstream. With PASSING SHIPS, he joins the ranks of Mingus and Gil Evans as a great composer-arranger for large forces. Recorded at the Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey on November 7, 1969. Includes liner notes by Michael Cuscuna. Personnel: Andrew Hill (piano); Joe Farrell (alto flute, bass clarinet, English horn, soprano saxophone, tenor saxophone); Howard Johnson (bass clarinet, tuba); Dizzy Reece, Woody Shaw (trumpet); Bob Northern (French horn); Julian Priester (trombone); Lenny White ...

Dave Frishberg Do You Miss New York? Live At Jazz At Lincoln Center CD (2003)

Bridge album

$9.65

Recorded live at Lincoln Center, New York, New York on December 12-14, 2002. With his fun, freewheeling approach to puns and sophisticated word play, Dave Frishberg never seems to take himself too seriously. There may be tender moments in his songs, as with "Little Did I Dream," but the punchline is never far behind. Do You Miss New York? is a lovely set performed before an appreciative audience at the Lincoln Center in 2002. There are stylish cuts, like "Quality Time," that turn tired clichés inside out and upside down, and more traditionally minded pieces, like "I Was Ready," are about falling in love. Frishberg shows his endless imagination on oddities like "Jaws," an unlikely theme song for the movie of the same name, and "Oklahoma Toad," a Western-styled jazz song about a toad and a bug. Frishberg accompanies himself with piano and ...
