Guitarist/vocalist John Pizzarelli returns with another solid collection of tastefully swinging standards on Knowing You. Never straying too far from what he does best, Pizzarelli is nonetheless an exciting improviser and pleasing vocalist who always finds a way to make an old chestnut of a tune his own. Here, his rapport with such longtime bandmates as pianist Ray Kennedy, bassist Martin Pizzarelli, and drummer Tony Tedesco is instinctual, full of humor, and filled with call-and-response interplay. To these ends, Pizzarelli has compiled an enjoyable set of well- and lesser-known standards, including the sprightly swinger "Coffee, Black," the elegantly mellow "The Shadow of Your Smile," and the sweetly unexpected Brian Wilson classic "God Only Knows." That interesting song choice and the Rupert Holmes-esque original title track also show Pizzarelli's ability to push his talents into contemporary areas without alienating his fan base. Also joining in are Pizzarelli's wife, vocalist Jessica Molaskey, along with pianist Larry Goldings, tenor saxophonist Harry Allen, and others. ~ Matt CollarDown Beat (p.68) - 3 1/2 stars out of 5 - "Pizzarelli knows how to capture the essence of mood without overplaying his repertoire of musical gestures....There's little doubt that Pizzarelli is in control of his craft."
JazzTimes (p.72) - "[H]is ahead-of-the-beat, scat-and-pick solos sound as tangy as ever." **Super Audio CD (SACD) Hybrid**

Steven HancoffSteve Hancoff's approach parallels Jelly-Roll Morton's notion of 'piano as band.' He translates the complex rhythms and polyphonies of band and piano jazz into the techniques he developed for the guitar...Amazing transcriptions and uncanny technical skills... (William Schafer, Mississippi Rag)Steve began playing guitar when he was 13 years old, captivated by the folk music craze of the 1960's. Within a year he was performing in coffee houses around Baltimore and Washington, DC.Steve began transcribing Scott Joplin's classic piano rags for the guitar when he was 23. Two years later, he attended his first ragtime festival in Joplin's hometown, Sedalia, Missouri. For the thrill of performing at the original Maple Leaf Club, he entered the competition there. Unaware of the uniqueness of his style, he was astonished when he won. This instantly attracted the attention and encouragement of Eubie Blake, Rudi Blesh, Trebor Tichenor, Max Morath and William Bolcom -- the judges and the Who's Who of the ragtime world. It also led to his recording two LP's of classic rags for the Dirty Shame label.He then put together his first CD, Steel String Guitar. Guitarists and reviewers were unanimously enthusiastic.Steve Hancoff's CD is a timeless gem. (Paul Bezanker, Record Collector's Exchange)...Exceptional technique and arrangements and a delightfully eclectic repertoire, brimming with vitality and grace. (Mike Joyce, Washington Post)If you are a confirmed guitar nut, the whole CD ought to sweep you away. (William Schafer, The Mississippi Rag)Steve HancoffGetting ...
| | Dan Cohen CDs (2008)
Knowing You
$9.85
Dan Cohen, a Nashville-based musician who makes a living backing country artists such as Tracy Byrd and T. Graham Brown, is both a clever songwriter and an accomplished guitarist, and he is intent on demonstrating both talents on his self-titled debut album. On his compositions, Cohen portrays himself as a lovable loser with a taste for similes and metaphors he doesn't mind mixing (one verse of the leadoff track, "Rabbit's Foot," goes, "So I wear my soul like alligator skin/Hard as leather with a toothy grin/Stubborn as an anvil, crazy as a clown/But I smile for you when the sun goes down"). He usually seems to be involved, either happily or unhappily, with some woman who is a cut above him socially and intellectually ("You quoted Keats, I quoted Carlin"), and he alternately aspires to raise himself to her level or, more likely, bring her down to his. He also alternates between tuneful ballads and honky tonk rave-ups, and he tosses in three instrumentals that establish his talents as a fingerpicking guitarist. But his least emphasized yet most accessible talent may be his rich, warm tenor, which producer Matt King mikes closely on the ballads, making for a sound somewhat like Jackson Browne, but smoother. That asset may actually help Cohen succeed as a frontman. ~ William Ruhlmann
Raised by English professors in the backwoods of Kentucky, reading P.G. Wodehouse and Shakespeare and listening to Randy Newman and Paul Simon, Dan Cohen's music represents different facets of contemporary Americana. It is surreally Southern, but cosmopolitan at the edges--if not quite "sophisticated." Domesticated, yes, but not ready for the good china. Dan began playing guitar at age 12 and started writing his first songs shortly afterwards."Writing and playing have always seemed to go hand-in-hand for me," he says. "I've never had a lot of interest in playing other people's songs. Listening, sure - but not really playing. I feel like... they did that already! I can't do it better than that. I better go do my own thing - figure out what that is."Figuring that out led him to college, to Philadelphia for a few years, and then to Nashville, where he quickly garnered a reputation as a blazing picker as well as a talented writer, penning songs with hit-makers like Jeffrey Steele, Bob diPiero, and Don Poythress. He began getting work playing on demo sessions (and a few masters, as well) working with veteran producers such as Blake Chancey, Scott Hendricks, Billy Joe Walker, Jr, Jay Joyce, Desmond Child and others. After stints on the road with national country acts, ...
