Clarinetist Don Byron once again mixes post-bop, swing, and funk into a unique concoction on Ivey-Divey. Just like Bug Music wasn't necessarily '30s swing and A Fine Line: Arias and Lieder wasn't exactly a classical album, Ivey-Divey isn't truly a straight-ahead, mainstream jazz album, although purists and avant-garde fans alike should find much common ground here. To these ends, Byron gets humorously rambunctious and a little "out" on such tracks as the swinging "I've Found a New Baby," the reverent and bluesy "Himm (For Our Lord and Kirk Franklin)," and the funky downtown jam "'Leopold, Leopold...'." Backing Byron here are the always adventurous talents of pianist Jason Moran, drummer Jack DeJohnette, trumpeter Ralph Alessi, and bassist Lonnie Plaxico. ~ Matt Collar
For this luminous 2004 trio date, clarinetist/leader Don Byron collaborates with Jason Moran and Jack DeJohnette, two of the finest musicians in jazz. A firebrand with a kaleidoscope of styles, Moran emerged in the 1990s as one of the most innovative pianists of his generation, while DeJohnette's muscular, distinctive drumming has long placed him among the most influential drummers of post-'50s jazz. That Byron chose these players to complement his own multi-faceted explorations (which are influenced by traditional jazz, klezmer, chamber music, funk, and hip-hop) is enough to make one giddy even before the disc plays.
IVEY-DIVEY lives up to its promise. Motifs from swing and big-band music thread through the album, but the trio use these only as a jumping-off point. Veering from melodic, straight-ahead bop to cacophonous journeys outside the frame, Byron, Moran and DeJohnette generate a dramatic sound all more effective for its attention to dynamics and staggeringly complex, sensitive interplay. Bassist Lonnie Plaxico and trumpeter Ralph Alessi are present on a few numbers, but this is the trio's show, as readings of Gershwin ("Somebody Loves Me"), Miles Davis ("Freddie Freeloader"), and Byron's own tunes ("Abie the Fishman") prove. This is thoroughly modern, top-drawer jazz marked by adventurousness, beauty, and spectacular musicianship.Down Beat (p.65) - 3 stars out of 5 - "Young's spontaneity and playful sense of ensemble time inspired an album that is all about the jazz and the interaction..."
JazzTimes (pp.76-7) - "[Byron] plays with a wild abandon made meaningful by the clarity of his overarching purpose....With IVEY-DIVEY, Don Byron has finally made a major album."

TWICE UPON A TIME contains recordings from 1982 to 1992.
Includes liner notes by Jon Wilde.
Once Upon a Time: The Singles collects all ten of Siouxsie and the Banshees' A-sides spanning the years 1978-1981, with four songs otherwise unavailable on LP. It's a neat and accessible encapsulation of the group's early guitar-driven sound -- a frosty, dissonant art punk that had a tremendous impact on the emerging goth rock scene. Unlike similarly forbidding work by such proto-goth contemporaries as Joy Division or the Cure, the early Banshees were tense and visceral; the darkness of the Once Upon a Time singles doesn't come from a sense of downcast gloom so much as it does from a jittery angst. Yet as challenging as the music is, it's also accessible enough for eight of these singles to have charted in the British Top 50. The melodies are angular and almost alien, yes, but oddly memorable once the listener has assimilated them. Starting shortly after the period covered ...

Ivey-Divey
$44.15
Personnel: Chick Corea (piano); Gary Burton (vibraphone).
Recorded at Arne Bendiksen Studio, Oslo, Norway on November 6, 1972.
CD comes in Jpn LP Sleeve.
For Crystal Silence, the first of several partnerships between Chick Corea and vibraphonist Gary Burton in the 1970s, the two musicians selected an interesting array of material. The compositions on this record are all modern ones, either by Steve Swallow, Mike Gibbs, or Corea himself. It is a mostly downtempo affair, which allows each player to stretch out and play highly melodic solos over the often difficult changes. In keeping with most ECM releases, there is a distinct presence of European elements to the improvisations. There are few overt blues or bebop phrases, Corea and Burton opting instead for modern melodies to fuel their improvisations. Burton has managed to internalize the Spanish and modal implications of Corea's tunes with little difficulty, and solos with joyful ease through such tracks as "Señor Mouse." Corea himself is absolutely burning. His solo contribution on the same track is both fiery and introspective, combining in one statement the poles for which he is best-known. The title track is also the centerpiece of the album, a nine-minute exploration of the Corea ballad that first appeared on his Return to Forever record in 1972. In keeping with the tradition of the great masters of the ballad form, time seems to disappear as Burton and Corea lovingly caress the song's simple melody and dance effortlessly around the chords, building intensity only to let it subside once more. Crystal Silence is a sublime indication of what two master improvisers can do given quality ...
