| | Romane Double Jeu CD Romane Discography of CDs
Personnel: Romane (guitar); Romane; Stéphane Huchard (drums); Stochelo Rosenberg (guitar). Audio Mixer: Fred Morisset. Liner Note Author: Gilles Tordjman. Recording information: Studio Planet Sun, Puteaux (04/19/2004-04/25/2004). Romane and Stochelo Rosenberg are two extended family members who have mastered Gypsy swing in the manner of Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli, though with a different twist. Using two acoustic guitars, bass and drums, they primarily play original music, which is open to modern influences while maintaining a Gypsy flavor. Aside from one standard, "Nature Boy" and an unusual treatment of Dave Brubeck's "Blue Rondo a la Turk," that drastically alters the bassline, they play things like the decidedly funky "R' N Bis" and the intricate "Bop Tension," both composed by Romane. Stochelo is no slouch as a composer, contributing the lively "Double Jeu" (which one could easily imagine Reinhardt and Grappelli playing) and the bluesy miniature "Blues for Barney." This may be a pricey import for U.S. jazz fans, but Double Jeu is well worth seeking. ~ Ken Dryden Double Jeu Review

Recorded at Sigma Sound Studios, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. All songs written or co-written by Gerald Veasley or Mark Knox except "What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life?" (Michele Legrand/Alan Berman/Marilyn Bergman). The key to success for any sideman who takes the plunge into the realm of solo artistry is finding a unique voice on his chosen instrument. For Gerald Veasley -- a veteran ensemble player who has graced the music of everyone from Grover Washington, Jr. to Joe Zawinal and Special EFX -- combining his skilled approach on the six-string electric bass with a background full of every color of jazz and R&B has led him to the forefront of modern bass players. If his 1992 debut found him looking ahead to an artistic expansion of sorts, the beefy bounce and heart-rending cool of Signs points the way towards the place where growth meets commercialism ...

| | Phillippe Saisse Body & Soul Sessions CD (2006)
Double Jeu
$12.95 Personnel: Philippe Saisse (piano, Fender Rhodes piano, keyboards); Philippe Saisse; David Finck (acoustic bass, upright bass); Scooter Warner (drums, percussion). Audio Mixer: Goh Hotoda. Recording information: Valerian Studio, NY (01/2005-06/2005). By 2006, the smooth jazz genre's obsession with cover songs was reaching a somewhat ridiculous fever pitch, but the success of recordings like Kirk Whalum's The Babyface Songbook and Rick Braun's Yours Truly proved that listeners loved them. With the intensely likeable, high-spirited, super swinging Body and Soul Sessions, the French born funk-jazz keyboardist whips up an all-cover collection even the biggest skeptic can enjoy. This is due not only to the lively, imaginative arrangements, but also the long awaited opportunity to hear Saisse -- who often favors big swirls of sound, bold sonic textures, and wild. ...

| | Oregon Vanguard Visionaries CD (2007)
Double Jeu
$9.59 Most entries in the extensive VANGUARD VISIONARIES series pick songs from the entirety of the artists' tenure with the label, but although Oregon spent nearly all of the 1970s at Vanguard, this 10-track anthology is plucked solely from the band's 1972-74 output, covering the albums MUSIC OF ANOTHER PRESENT ERA, DISTANT HILLS, and WINTER LIGHT. Not only are they the band's three strongest albums, but these sets define the prototypical Oregon sound, incorporating world music forms into mellow acoustic jazz, and sounding like the missing link between John Fahey and modern new-age music. Oregon released nine albums between 1970 and 1978 for Vanguard, the first label to sign them. In its Vanguard Visionaries series (which is unattractive in its packaging, and sometimes lazy in its selections), the label picks ten tracks from three of those albums -- the classic second disc Music of Another Present Era, and its two follow-ups, Distant Hills, and Winter Light -- to illustrate the group's groundbreaking acoustic approach ...
