Although in his mid-60s, Duke Ellington proves on this program of mostly new music that he never declined nor lost his creativity. Four of the pieces comprise "The Virgin Islands Suite," and there are new versions of "Things Ain't What They Used to Be" and "Chelsea Bridge," and also a variety of miniature classics. In 1965 the Ellington orchestra had 11 very distinctive soloists; eight are heard from during this memorable set. ~ Scott Yanow
Recording information: Virgin Islands (04/14/1965).

Concert In The Virgin Islands CD music
$15.49
Don't let the title fool you -- there's not a speck of new age or Chicago blues on this modern, mainstream jazz date, featuring the Keller ensemble and the compositions of Ron Miller, both stalwarts of instruction at the University of Miami/Florida. Keller plays mostly tenor sax and a little soprano, Scott Wendholt (trumpet) and John Fedchock (trombone) crop up on many cuts, Kenny Werner is all over it on piano, and drummer Billy Hart gives it his all in yet another inspired recorded performance. Bassist Drew Gress rounds out the combo. Keller himself is from the post-Coltrane strain of Joe Henderson-style spirits. This is heard clearly on the final two selections, "Sweet Illusions" and "Last Illusion" -- the former using serene Randy Brecker-esque harmony between trumpet and tenor, the latter with a head that is defiant, riled-up, and almost angry. Keller's solos span the depths of Henderson's blue spectrum. Werner is the show-stopper on this date. His heavy-handed, gunslinging accents and soloing on "Last Illusion" only meant he had to reload. The earlier cuts feature him cutting loose several times, especially on his solos. For the title track, a distinct Art Blakey/Jazz Messengers hard bop group swing sets Werner and Hart ablaze. A pensive but still fervent Werner stockpiles melody in the expansive Kenny Wheeler-like composition "J.C. on the Land" for fellow teacher Jerry Coker. The horn lines on this piece cry out well after midnight, clarion clear. On the inventive "Monk Strut," contrary positions are taken between piano sauntering and drum chatter, while horns roll with the punches, recoil a bit, and swing at the bridge. Werner also inserts "Trinkle ...
| | Rodd Keith I Died Today CD (1996)
Concert In The Virgin Islands music CDs
$13.39
I Died Today was the first release of Tzadik's Lunatic Fringe series, a category reserved for only the most unclassifiable recordings. It offers 26 of the songs that Rodney Eskelin (who worked most frequently under the name Rodd Keith) recorded while working in the song poem, or send-us-your-lyrics business during the '60s and early '70s. Keith composed the music for these lyrics on the spot, and led a group of musicians through recording sessions of first takes. Regarded as a musical genius by many who met him, Keith's song poem work is the only documentation of his output. This ...

Concert In The Virgin Islands CD music
$11.39
This is the second CD in Matthew Sabatella's acclaimed "Ballad of America" series, which tells the story of the United States through traditional folk songs. The songs on "America Singing (Ballad of America Volume 2)" are among the most commonly sung in the history of the United States. They present uniquely American musical blends, with roots in European and African traditions and branches that have sprouted countless regional and personal variants throughout the country. Collectively, these songs of work, fun, and love transcend social and ethnic boundaries, painting a broad picture of America during the 18th and 19th centuries when music making was, for many, an integral part of everyday life."Over a Wide and Fruitful Land (Ballad of America Volume 1)" was released in 2005 to universal acclaim. The album focuses on the Westward Expansion of the United States, following the paths of the pioneers, sailors, lumberjacks, immigrants, '49ers, farmers, slaves, soldiers, ...
