First off, while its title might suggest otherwise, this is not a live album; the CD takes its name from a piece by Eric Alexander's pianist, the veteran Harold Mabern. This is a fitting gesture, as Mabern is a key to this session's many pleasures and has been a mentor to Alexander during the saxophonist's steady rise to the top ranks of his art form. For this December 2002 session, Alexander offers a sustained program of fresh, creative, and advanced hard bop that unequivocally establishes him as a player who is not only fully aware of the tradition, but who is now among those most eminently qualified to develop it further. The consistent high quality of the outing is, naturally, a measure of the cohesion and communication within Alexander's crack quartet. Mabern fuels the performances with a driving, spacious melodicism. Drummer Joe Farnsworth, another Alexander regular, combines crisp precision and flawless creative instincts behind the drum kit. To the session's credit, bassist Ron Carter is not on hand as a special guest, but as a completely integrated member of the rhythm team. He combines especially well with Farnsworth, with playing that is agile, powerful, rich, and vivid. Alexander is a source of endlessly imaginative choruses. Listeners will detect some of George Coleman's incendiary sleight of hand, Wayne Shorter's sidelong phrasing, and Joe Henderson's trenchant, amiable authority in the leader's highly evolved command of the horn. They will also hear Alexander's talent for writing; the five memorable hard bop originals he presents here are destined to become modern classics. ~ Jim Todd Eric Alexander Nightlife In Tokyo Songs Nightlife In Tokyo Review

Nightlife In Tokyo
$13.65
Live at the House of Tribes documents trumpeter Wynton Marsalis performing with his sextet at the intimate community theater space in New York City on December 15, 2002. Apparently an annual ritual of sorts for Marsalis, the performance makes for one of his best live recordings since 1986's stellar Live at Blues Alley. Backed by a slightly altered lineup from his 2005 Blue Note studio debut, The Magic Hour, Marsalis gains first-class support from alto saxophonist Wessel Anderson, pianist Eric Lewis, drummer Joe Farnsworth, bassist Kengo Nakamura, and percussionist Orlando Q. Rodriguez. Special mention must be made of Robert Rucker for his highly energetic tambourine performance on the New Orleans "2nd Line" finale. New Orleans jazz aficionados may recognize this tune as "Joe Avery's Blues" and based on the cheering, clapping, ...

Known by many from Season 6 of American Idol, Sarah Burgess\' single \"Dangerouz,\" has risen to #9 on the AC chart, a strong follow up to her first single, \"Didn\'t Matter That,\" which was written by Mikal Blue and Colbie Caillat. Born and raised in Eastern Ohio, Sarah currently lives in Western Pennsylvania, close to her family. With a strong, smoky pop voice reminiscent of Alicia Bridges and Fergie, Burgess both caresses and belts out pop, powerpop, jazz, and ballads with equal vigor. Within days of her contract signing with PME Records, Burgess was opening for Daughtry and Day of Fire at the Colorado State Fair. \"We couldn\'t have been happier with the job she did\" explains PME President Craig Patterson, \"She tore that place apart.\"Some heavy-hitting session players are recording for the album \"One,\" including Greg Mathieson (Christina Aguilera, Barbra Streisand), Doug Jackson (Ambrosia, Kenny Loggins), and the world-renowned Philharmonika Bulgaria, recorded in Sofia, Bulgaria. The album also includes covers of songs from Gerry Rafferty and Rosette, and was mastered by Arnie Acosta (U2).With a heavy media presence that\'s already included features in TV Guide, TV Guide Online, M Magazine, J-14 Magazine, ABC and CBS Soaps In Depth, and a host of others scheduled, Sarah\'s coming up quickly.Liner Notes:Produced by Craig Patterson for Jackalope, LLCRecorded at The Fun House, Aurora, CO USA, and other studios as noted within.Recorded and mixed by Craig Patterson, and as noted within.Mastered by Arnie Acosta with Eric Boulanger, at The Mastering Lab, Ojai, CA.Background Vocals produced by Gary DunnAdditional musicians are noted within.Strings: Philharmonika Bulgaria Conductor: Christo PavlovConcertmaster: Galina Koicheva I want to thank God first for giving me my wonderful gift of song and determinaton.
