It's hard to believe that after recording as a leader for 40 years, DRESDEN: IN CONCERT is Jan Garbarek's first-ever live album. For those who think that Garbarek abandoned jazz some time ago, this will be a shock. DRESDEN is an engaged, kinetic, double-disc, two-hour performance of his quartet playing in the modern jazz idiom and using all of its tenets--from complex harmonics and rhythmic invention to extended lyric improvisation--to create a tour de force that honors all the music he ...

Don't let the frantic bash-and-crash opening of "California Sun," the first cut on the Makes Nice's debut album fool you -- for all their outward scruffiness, these guys are popmeisters of the first order, and by the time the third track, "Enough Is Enough," has rolled around, they've pulled out their prettiest ...
| | Chick Corea The Enchantment CD (2007)
West Coast East Coast Encounter
$11.35 
Personnel: Chick Corea (piano); Béla Fleck (banjo).
The pairing of post-bop icon Chick Corea with nu-grass banjo wizard Bela Fleck makes perfect sense. Both are consummate musicians dedicated to the ideal of fusing disparate styles into a protean form that knows no bounds, and creating an ever-shifting music whose only criterion is the beauty of artistic expression.
THE ENCHANTMENT (2007), an album of dialogues between Corea's piano and Fleck's banjo, adheres to the musical standards of both artists. Spare yet complex, beautiful and accessible yet challenging, THE ENCHANTMENT channels Latin ("Senorita"), classical ("A Strange Romance"), bluegrass ("Mountain"), jazz ("Joban dna Nopia"), among other styles, into a seamless musical whole.
Aside from being legendary multiple Grammy-winning jazzmen on very different instruments, Chick Corea (piano) and Béla Fleck (the world's premier jazz banjo master) have a shared love for collaboration and the infinite improvisational possibilities their chosen idiom offers them. In some ways, the two have been preparing for this masterful, musical dialogue-driven masterpiece for over ten years. Fleck, who has always credited Corea as being one of his chief influences, invited the pianist to play on the Flecktones' Tales from the Acoustic Planet, as well as the group's live CD Live ...
