The Seattle-based Origin label continues its noble venture to bring as many of the performers from the Northwest's bustling, burgeoning jazz scene to a wider audience. This time the label has teamed erstwhile soprano/tenor saxophone player Don Lanphere with one of the area's more active groups, New Stories. Made up of Marc Seales, Doug Miller, and John Bishop, the trio gives its utmost support to Lanphere on a program of jazz and classic pop standards. This is not an album of four-minutes-and-out tracks. Each tune gets a full melodic and improvisational treatment, with the sax player and the trio operating on the basis of a full and open exchange of interpretive ideas. The get-go tune, "The Night Has a Thousand Eyes," where both Lanphere and Seales play off the whirling drumming of Bishop, portends a session of more than an hour of highly listenable jazz. The rapport among the players is enhanced by the fact that the session was recorded live in the studio. Done over two days, some of the play list was decided on the spot, increasing the chances of inspirational, innovative performances, which is what listeners get. There's no fixin' in the mixin', which these days is too often used to cover the missteps of the participants. All the trio members, especially Seales, listen closely and -- equally as important -- understand the direction Lanphere is taking on each cut. Seales' sparkling solo in answer to the sax player's probing solo on "Alone Together" is an example of this interactive sensitivity. At the same time, Seales can set the pattern for a track, as he opens for Lanphere on a deeply felt "Violets for Your Furs." The veteran sax player hasn't lost a step, as conclusively demonstrated on this highly recommended effort. ~ Dave Nathan

Purchase Home At Last CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Sidney Bechet Runnin' Wild CD (1998)
Home At Last album
$12.79 This late '40s Blue Note date groups jazz legend Sidney Bechet with cornetist Wild Bill Davison and pianist Art Hodes and injects a fresh dose of vitality into Bechet's hard-driving style of New Orleans jazz. Backed by a strong rhythm section, the three musicians swap leads on classics like "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out," "Basin Street Blues," and "When the Saints Go Marching In." Such traditional songs as "Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho" (note the swinging, hand-clap intro) are given such energized readings as to make them immune to criticisms of ...

Home At Last CD music
$17.95 This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.
Monty Alexander has always been a fine jazz pianist, but in recent years he has received more popular acclaim for interpreting the reggae music of his native Jamaica. While his reggae efforts are well done, straight-ahead jazz and interpreting standards are really his forte. For The Good Life, Alexander has chosen to riff on tunes from the repertoire of Tony Bennett -- not the most popular or well-known, or even written by the singer -- but a good cross section of his set list over the decades. The Chicago-based rhythm team of veteran drummer George Fludas and up-and-coming bassist Lorin Cohen (cousin and bandmate of pianist Ryan Cohan) gives Alexander all the supple support and equal dynamism his playing demands. It's safe to say that listeners will enjoy the more refined, easy swinging numbers such as "Smile," the light bossa treatment of "Maybe September," and the tender ballad "Emily." This is what ...
