A brilliant pianist influenced by his contemporary Bill Evans but long having his own approach to modern mainstream jazz, Denny Zeitlin performs solo on this disc, sometimes augmenting his piano with an atmospheric synthesizer. He performs two standards and three originals (including the free improvisation "Walking, Prancing, Marching, Dancing" and his well-known "Quiet Now") to start off the date. The remainder is the eight-part "Solo Voyage," which was put together for a dying friend. It consists of three standards, three preludes or interludes, and the two sections of "Moving Parts." Much of the music is played out of tempo and is quite thoughtful, succeeding both as background music and for close listening. Zeitlin sounds creative throughout this fine project. ~ Scott Yanow
Personnel: Denny Zeitlin (piano).
JazzTimes (p.95) - "A peak performance, 'Quiet Now' is surrounded by other examples of Zeitlin's creative power as a self-sufficient interpreter..." Denny Zeitlin Solo Voyage Songs Solo Voyage Review

Solo Voyage album
 $14.59  
Denny Zeitlin has worked with various trios over his long career and he has likely found the ideal rhythm section with bassist Buster Williams and drummer Matt Wilson. It doesn't take long for them to break away from the predictable path through "You and the Night and the Music," as each of them finds adventurous lines within their respective roles. "Put Your Little Foot Out," forever associated with Miles Davis, is transformed into a slow waltz with a bit of dark undertone. Zeitlin adds a touch of mystery with his unusual introduction to "It Could Happen to You," taking his time to gradually work into its theme. His odd rhythmic approach is achieved by constantly shifting the meter, as well as the numerous shifts in the key, setting it well apart from other interpretations. The pianist's moving solo improvisation segues into the standard "Body and Soul," which he also re-harmonizes. Zeitlin is equally creative ...

An excellent modern mainstream pianist who is a bit taken for granted, Rob Schneiderman was actually one of the better jazz pianists of the 1990s. On Back in Town, he plays standards but often with subtle ...
| | Dizzy Gillespie Town Hall, New York City, June 22, 1945 CD (2005)
Solo Voyage music CDs
$13.85 
The historic live Town Hall sessions by Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker from 1945 have been discovered on an acetate pressing, and are transferred with digital enhancement to CD. Why this concert was not issued initially is understandable, but Ira Gitler's informative and insightful liner notes suggest they likely were misplaced. What Gitler's essential writing also reveals is that these dates were approximate by only weeks to the original studio recordings of these classics, and there was no small amount of controversy surrounding this revolutionary bebop. Clearly bop was a vehicle for intricate melodic invention followed by lengthy soloing, aspects of which Parker with Gillespie were perfectly suited for. Fact is, the situation surrounding the sonic capture and ...

Solo Voyage album
$12.35
Operating out of Barcelona, Spain, the vastly under-appreciated Ocium record label specializes in reissuing great jazz from the 1940s and '50s. The Entire Story of a Group assembles everything recorded for the Asch and Capitol labels by Coleman Hawkins and a small ensemble in Los Angeles and Hollywood during the first three months of 1945. This body of work perfectly embodies the phrase "swing-to-bop", for during this period Hawkins aligned himself with young innovators like bassist Oscar Pettiford (nicely featured on "Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams"), percussionist Denzil Best, pianist Sir Charles Thompson and trumpeter Howard McGhee, who followed in the footsteps of Roy Eldridge and whose position in ...

The group was formed when four members of The Macedonia Baptist Church located at 2810 Erato Street in New Orleans, La, three deacons and the bass singer and president of the choir, joined together and began singing during church services. They chose a name most fitting of their commitment, The Faithful Four Gospel Singers. The unique blend of classic gospel quartet mixed with the modern bluesy, jazzy guitar characterizes their music. The Faithful Four Gospel Singers made a quick change to The Faithful Gospel Singers when another member joined. They have been bringing their brand of gospel ...
| | 100 Greatest TV Themes 2 100 Greatest TV Themes, Vol. 2 CDs (2007) Box Set
Solo Voyage CD music
$35.39
Unlike 100 Greatest TV Themes, Vol. 1 (released in 2002), Silva's 100 Greatest TV Themes, Vol. 2 (2007) includes only faint trace elements of cathode tube nostalgia of the sort epitomized by Charles Gounod's "Funeral Dance of the Marionettes," a twisted favorite forever associated with the pouting profile of Alfred Hitchcock. This charmingly macabre opus, like most of the orchestral selections, is rendered by the City of Prague Philharmonic. 100 Greatest TV Themes, Vol. 2 will seem most relevant to those who have followed mainstream television through the closing years of the 20th century and into the first over-stimulated convolutions of the new millennium. It opens with a suite from 24, that award ...
