| | Dizzy Gillespie Salt Peanuts CD - Import Dizzy Gillespie Discography of CDs
Dizzy Gillespie is in better than usual form on this previously unreleased club date from 1981. The trumpeter's repertoire is streaky, with an overly long "On Green Dolphin Street" never really stating the melody or developing, and a "Blues Theme" being rather aimless. "Salt Peanuts" gets some sparks flying before the band runs through a typical version of the comedy number "Swing Low Sweet Cadillac." The second half of the disc, with excellent versions of "Land of Milk and Honey," "Tin Tin Deo," and the old standby "A Night in Tunisia," has the meat of the CD. The pianoless quintet has a sparse sound, with the underrated Sayyd Abdul Al-Khabyyr playing some fine tenor and flute solos and guitarist Ed Cherry getting his spots. The overall results are not quite essential but are worthwhile due to Dizzy's excellent late-period playing. ~ Scott Yanow

THE COMPLETE VERVE STUDIO MASTER TAKES makes a definitive and compelling case for Holiday's Verve tenure. Packaged in a deep-dish metallic box (which resembles the world's most beautiful lunch pail), THE COMPLETE comprises six CDs, a 60-page booklet filled with rare photographs and superb liner notes, and dazzlingly crisp sound via digital remastering. The musicians on these sessions were some of the finest of the era, and Holiday herself--even with a gift impaired by time and abuse--sings with impeccable artistry, and beautifully enough to break the heart.

When one considers its great lineup of players (including Michael Brecker and Alex Foster on reeds, guitarist Mike Stern, bassist Will Lee and drummer Dennis Chambers), the music on keyboardist Charles Blenzig's Big World CD is very frustrating. The program is dominated by weak originals and seemingly endless funk rhythms; Blenzig also manages to take all of the drama out of the standard "Where or When" with a complete reharmonization. Only the final two numbers (the ballad "Close Your Eyes" and the well-titled "As Fast as Possible") give one a clue as to how exciting this session could have been. ~ Scott Yanow
Charles Blenzig is a pianist, composer, arranger, and percussionist who slips effortlessly among musical styles while retaining his own distinct sound. Born in the Bronx, raised in Pelham, and now residing in Queens, he has been a part of the New York City jazz scene for over 20 years. The first real visible gig for Charles was as a member of the Gil Evans Orchestra that had a steady Monday night engagement at Sweet Basil Jazz Club in New York City. He was fortunate to play with New York's top musicians George Adams, Hiram Bullock, Mark Eagan, Gil Goldstein, Lou Soloff, Kenwood Denard and Alex Foster. It was here that he got the chance to unlock the mysteries of one of the finest arrangers in the history of Jazz: Gil Evans.In 1990 he was offered the position of musical director for singer/songwriter Michael Franks, a position which he still holds. Working with Mr. Franks has led to performances and television appearances throughout the world including Japan, Indonesia, Thailand, Africa and Russia. Most recently, Charles produced and arranged Michael's recording Watching the Snow as well as co-writing the title track to Michael's CD entitled Barefoot on the Beach. During the mid 1990's the keyboardist performed regularly with several groups including Bill Evans and Kenwood Denard. Both stints led to recordings: Bill Evans and "Push" Live in Europe and Kenwood's Just Advance which featured bass virtuoso Marcus Miller. Over the years Charles has worked with many accomplished musicians and groups including Larry Coryell, Michael Urbaniak, Michael Brecker, Joe Beck, The Mingus Big Band, Joe Locke, Eddie Gomez, Randy Brecker, Toninio Horta, Grady Tate, Buster Williams, Roy Ayers, John Patituchi, vocalist Patti Austin, and Latin Jazz legend Gato Barbieri. On the international circuit, Charles has toured and recorded with renowned Korean guitarist Jack Lee, Japan's premiere flugal hornist/vocalist Toku and Greek vibraphonist Christos.The pianist also hosted "The Late Night Session" at the Blue Note Jazz Club in Manhattan. It was a steady gig for five years which made him a recognizable face in the jazz community as well as introducing him to scores of both seasoned and up and coming musicians from around the globe. This engagement made it possible for hundreds of young musicians to experience their first performance in a Manhattan Jazz Club.Along with ...

Although New York's Twisted Sister wore makeup and stage costumes, the group was completely unlike other glam-metal bands of the early '80s. The group's 1983 major-label debut, YOU CAN'T STOP ROCK N' ROLL, is more akin musically to such harder-edged metal outfits as Motorhead and ...

"Squeeze Me In" was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for Best Country Collaboration With Vocals.
After his head-scratching masquerade as a fictional rocker and a heavily publicized early retirement from show business, most folks thought that the Garth Brooks era in country music was over. Just when you thought it was safe to go back to Nashville, here comes SCARECROW, a confident return to form for Brooks. Having apparently gotten that nasty rock thing out of his system, he returns to the wide-screen, Springsteen-with-spurs brand of pop-country that made him a mega-star in the '90s. The first album of new Garth Brooks tunes of the 21st century pretty much picks up where records like ROPIN' THE WIND ...
