Summer Knows Music Review

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Golden jazz from a golden summer
Considering Art Farmer has been playing since the Be-bop revolution, his style has remained consistently cool. This album reflects the very best of his ideas on different genres of music. The smoky, clouded tone, combined with his own inimitable phrasing, particularly on Alfie and the title track, plus his own composition Ditty, serve as a timely reminder that his name should be spoken with the same reverence as Davis and Gillespie. Brilliant.

Art Farmer Yesterday's Thoughts CD (1976)

Summer Knows album

$13.49

With Art Farmer's phenomenal output of recordings as a leader during his long career, it isn't surprising to run across obscure gems such as this pair of 1975 studio sessions recorded in New York for release in Japan by Eastwind. Joined by frequent collaborator Cedar Walton on piano, as well as bassist Sam Jones and drummer Billy Higgins, the mellow flugelhornist excels on the ballads that make up the majority of the album. "What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life" begins slowly, with the rhythm section slowly pushing the tempo, as if to push for an answer to the title of the song. "Namely You" is played as a brisk waltz, while the snappy approach to "Alone Together" finds the leader at the top of his game. A reworking of ex-partner Benny Golson's "Yesterday's ...

Sonny Rollins Without A Song: The 9/11 Concert CD (2005)

Summer Knows music CDs

$9.65

Recorded on September 15th, 2001, WITHOUT A SONG is a live recording by jazz icon Sonny Rollins, observing the World Trade Center disaster that occurred just four days prior to the concert. Rollins was one of the few musicians from jazz's golden age still performing with a sense of vitality, and that is especially clear on this recording, which is imbued with the gravity appropriate to the aforementioned tragedy. Yet the proceedings are never overwhelmed by pathos or grief. Instead, Rollins and his five-piece ensemble offer ...

Miles Davis Cellar Door Sessions 1970 CDs (2005) Remastered; Box Set; Special Edition

Summer Knows songs

$88.15

Contains previously unreleased material. Some of the recordings on the CELLAR DOOR SESSIONS were originally released in edited form on the 1971 double-LP LIVE EVIL. There is an entire universe contained in this box. Sumptuously packaged and scrupulously annotated, CELLAR DOOR SESSIONS 1970 is a six-disc set that documents Miles Davis's extended residency at the Washington, D.C., club. Davis is backed by a group of genius musicians: keyboardist Keith Jarrett, drummer Jack DeJohnette, bassist Michael Henderson, saxophonist Gary Bartz, percussionist Airto Moreira and guitarist John McLaughlin (who appears only on the last two discs). Together they pioneered an ecstatic fusion of jazz, rock, funk, and abstract sound-painting that established the blueprint for the future of progressive music. Each disc contains a different live set, and while songs are often repeated across the set lists, no two tracks sound the same. The players improvise at a fever-pitch, pushing themselves to endless invention, and the ensemble's ...

Thelonious Monk At Carnegie Hall CD (2005)

Summer Knows album

$12.89

On paper it seems as if such titanic and distinctive musical personalities as Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane might not mix very well, but this stellar set, recorded live at Carnegie Hall in 1957, plays almost like a blissful extended duet between the two (with support from a sensitive yet hard-swinging bassist and drummer). The opener, "Monk's Mood," for example, features the composer/pianist's typically brilliant, idiosyncratic playing, while Coltrane floats over the top in the most lyrical of modes. Monk, in particular, is a master of tension-and-release tunefulness, creating rhythmic and harmonic intricacies ...

Puffy Amiyumi Very Best Of (JPN) CD (2000) (Import) Japan

Summer Knows music CDs

$47.29
As can be inferred from its title, The Best of Puffy: AmiYumi Jet Fever is an amalgam of Puffy's most outstanding hits. If you are just beginning to familiarize yourself with the rocking and occasionally fluffy world of Puffy, then The Best of Puffy: AmiYumi Jet Fever is a good place to start. Alternatively, if you already obsess over the duo and own all of their CDs, you most likely already have all of the cuts offered here. Released in July of 2000, The Best of Puffy includes such favorites as "Asia No Junshin," "Circuit No Musume," and "Stray Cats Fever." With 20 songs, it serves as an exceptional retrospective, summing up the duo's star-charged ...
