| | Ted Nash La Espada De La Noche CD Ted Nash Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
Ted Nash's quintet has a slightly different instrumentation than the usual jazz group: the leader's got reeds, violin, tuba, accordion and drums! Nash switches between tenor, alto, clarinet, bass clarinet and alto flute while Clark Gayton triples on tuba, trombone and baritone horn. Joined by violinist Nathalie Bonin (who has a beautiful "legit" tone), Bill Schimmel on accordion and drummer Matt Wilson, the group performs unique renditions of Dizzy Gillespie's "A Night in Tunisia," "Tico Tico" and two movements from Concierto de Aranjuez plus three of the leader's originals. The unpredictable music they create, which is influenced by the cultures of Latin America, South America and Eastern Europe, is full of logical development, rich melodies and unusual tone colors. Each of the musicians is a virtuoso and the colorful arrangements utilize their instruments in unexpected ways, with any of the players being potentially in the lead at any time. La Espada de la Noche is an especially memorable and unique set, one of the more inspired jazz recordings of 2005. ~ Scott Yanow

| | Dave Douglas Mountain Passages CD (2005)
La Espada De La Noche CD music
$13.89 
Trumpeter, composer, and musical alchemist extraordinaire Dave Douglas crafted another fascinating album with MOUNTAIN PASSAGES. The result of a commission from the sponsors of Italy's Sound of the Dolomites Festival, this music was composed expressly for performance in the Dolomite Mountains in 2004. Performers and audience both hiked up to the festival grounds. One of the stipulations of the commission was that Douglas write music to "be played between 9,000 and 12,000 feet," and the heady, fluttering, graceful sounds herein appropriately evoke a feeling of lofty elevation.
Inspired in part by the region's local Ladino music, ...
| | Paul Motian I Have The Room Above Her CD (2005)
La Espada De La Noche music CDs
$14.15
To put drummer Paul Motian, guitarist Bill Frisell, and saxophonist Joe Lovano in a room together is to court majesty and genius; even if the three were playing hackneyed standards half-asleep, the results would likely be brilliant. I HAVE THE ROOM ABOVE HER is filled with the kind of technical mastery and scintillating chemistry one would expect from a trio this accomplished and advanced. Frisell's electric guitar spins choral color and spiraling, reverbed embellishments. Lovano's tenor is full-toned, and he plays with tremendous sensitivity and nuance, often holding down the melodic center ...
| | Dave Holland Overtime CD (2005)
La Espada De La Noche songs
$13.49
This exceptional date by Dave Holland Big Band was recorded in 2002 in New York, yet remained unreleased until 2005. As is to be expected, Holland assembled a fine cast of seasoned and young players, some of whom are veterans of Holland's quintets and quartets. These are four saxophones -- two alto, tenor and baritone -- three trumpets and trombones, and vibes as well as bass and drums. They include Chris Potter and Robin and Duane Eubanks, Antonio Hart, Steve Nelson, Josh Roseman, Billy Kilson, Taylor Haskins, Gary Smulyan, Jonathan Arons and Alex Sipiagin. The music centers around the opening four-part "Monterey Suite," a tour de force commissioned by the Monterey Jazz Festival and originally performed there in 2001. Holland's writing for the trombone section is dynamite. Roseman, Arons, and Robin Eubanks offer up solid bottom rung lines ...
