Swing Is In The Air Music Review

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Great Swing from Germany
This terrific band from Germany has been around for several years and it's really a fantastic unit. Clarinetist, leader, arranger Heinz Schonberger has managed to capture the feel of the swing era even in his original compositions. A must for swing cats!

Bob Mintzer Homage To Count Basie CD (2000) (Import) Germany

Swing Is In The Air CD music

$12.79

This is Hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players. Byron Stripling, Scott Wendholt (trumpet, flugelhorn); Michael Davis, Keith O'Quinn, Dave Taylor, Larry Farrell (trombone); Phil Markowitz (piano); James Chirillo (guitar); Dennis Irwin (bass); Jon Riley (drums). HOMAGE TO COUNT BASIE won the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album. Count Basie was undoubtedly one of the most influential bandleaders in jazz history. It seems only logical then that saxophonist Bob Mintzer (who has dedicated most of his career to big-band music) would sooner or later record a tribute to the great father of swing. Joined by many of the top New York City-based jazz players including Pete Yellin on reeds, Scott Wendholt on trumpet, Phil Markowitz on piano, Dennis Irwin on bass, and John Riley on drums, Mintzer and group create a touching homage to the Count. We hear five tunes commonly associated with Basie on this disc. Among them are smart versions of "Cute," "April in Paris," and "Shiny Stockings." In addition, we are treated to three compositions by Mintzer himself, each reflecting the Basie style in one way or another. As a modernist, Mintzer adds a contemporary flair to ...

Louie Bellson Matterhorn CD (1978)

Swing Is In The Air album

$9.65

This is Louis Bellson's collaboration with Billy Cobham. Some of the material here was performed live and released as a video. The arrangements are likable, but the obvious intent here is to amaze and delight those enamored with virtuosic drumming. The duels between Cobham and Bellson are intense and demonstrate their differences in technique. Cobham's approach is sheer power based on instinct, while Bellson's is more carefully planned and played ...

Strunz & Farah Frontera CD (1976)

Swing Is In The Air music CDs

$12.65

Frontera is an intriguing effort by a duo whose music would unfortunately quickly turn into flaccid new age mush. Clearly influenced by the likes of Al DiMeola and the ECM stable, Jorge Strunz and Ardeshir Farah start from the mellowest side of post-fusion '70s jazz, add world music forms suggested by their varied upbringings (Strunz was born in Costa Rica and raised around the world as the son of a diplomat; Farah was born in Iran and educated in England), and then incorporate a few hints of the sound that Windham Hill Records would soon turn into clichéd mush. Luckily, this time out those troubling hints of over-slickness are but a minor flaw, and the two guitarists enthusiastically and sensitively explore a variety of mostly Latin rhythmic and melodic styles. The highlight, however, is the Persian-flavored flamenco "The Dervish," an intriguing blend of European and Middle Eastern forms with a much stronger rhythmic base than most new age music ever manages. Frontera won't change the mind of anyone predisposed to dislike modern instrumental music, but it's not at all bad. ~ Stewart Mason Audio Mixer: Carl Lange. Liner Note Author: Jorge Strunz.

Oscar Peterson Soul Espanol CD (1966) Spec Packaging; Remastered

Swing Is In The Air CD music

$12.35

Oscar Peterson augmented his regular working trio of the time (bassist Sam Jones and drummer Louis Hayes) with Henley Gibson on congas, Marshall Thompson on timbales, and Harold Jones as an added percussionist for this release, which focuses mostly on the music of Brazilian composers (so the title Soul Espanol is a bit misleading). With the surge of interest in bossa nova and samba, Peterson's interpretations of songs like "Manha de Carnaval," "How Insensitive," "Meditation," and "Samba de Orfeo" have stood up very well against similar jazz recordings of the mid-'60s. Peterson's "Soulville Samba" has a gospel flavor, while his "Sensitive Samba" is more laid-back; Vincent Youmans' decades-old "Carioca" also fit in nicely. This is an enjoyable, if not essential, part of Oscar Peterson's considerable discography. The one mystery is why the credits and liner ...
