Triskaidekphobia Music Review

Average Rating: (4.5 out of 5 stars) 4.5 stars

4 stars Local Artist Does Well
I picked up Ben Thomas' CD because he is an instructor where I work at Highline Community College. I heard him plat the vibraphone at school and wanted to hear more. I was not disappointed. The music on the CD is high quality jazz. Way to go Ben!

Mike Bloomfield Super Session CD (1968) Bonus Tracks; Remastered

Triskaidekphobia album

$6.75

A surprise best-seller when it was first released, this mostly improvised pairing of singer/keyboardist/producer Al Kooper with two major guitar heroes of the day sounds fascinating all these years later precisely because of the distance of time--nobody makes records like this any more. The material runs the gamut from folk pop (covers of Donovan and Dylan), to blues ("Albert's Shuffle," "You Don't Love Me"), to heady jams ("His Holy Modal Majesty"), to big-band jazz ("Harvey's Tune"). All the tunes make effective templates for the kind off-the-cuff music-making that in less capable hands might have resulted in simple noodling. In fact, although Bloomfield and Stills don't play together on any of the cuts (Bloomfield played on one side of the original LP, Stills on the other), all three principals get off lots of good licks and producer Kooper has some interesting tricks up his sleeve, as in the over-the-top phasing he lavishes on "You Don't Love Me." The only real disappointment here is that Stills, a far better singer than Kooper, never opens his mouth. Those familiar with ...

Everette Harp First Love CD (2009)

Triskaidekphobia album

$15.09

On FIRST LOVE, contemporary jazz saxophonist and composer Everette Harp moves deeper into the space he addressed on 2007's excellent MY INSPIRATION. Produced by George Duke, the meld of acoustic and electric instruments here is perfectly balanced. Melodic and harmonic structures are much more complex and don't always fit the C-jazz cookie-cutter mold. Check his original "The Council of Nicea," one of the most satisfying things here. Harp's tenor is accompanied by James Genus' acoustic bass, and some spot-on breaks by Terri Lyne Carrington, a beautiful bluesy, hard bop trumpet solo by Michael "Patches" Stewart, and Lenny Castro's hand percussion. Directing the band is Duke on Fender Rhodes with help from the exquisite if understated electric guitar work from Dwight Sills. The ballad "Before You Leave" follows suit with Carrington providing elegant brushwork. These are pretty basic straight-ahead numbers. This is not to suggest that there isn't some funky ...

Virginia Mayhew Phantoms CD (2003)

Triskaidekphobia album

$12.19
On Phantoms, her third album as leader, saxophonist, and composer, Virginia Mayhew demonstrates that she is not only an exciting writer and skillful arranger, but also that she can take the most tired standards and turn them into brand-new musical adventures. Aided by her longstanding quartet , consisting of the exquisite trumpeter Ingrid Jensen, bassist Harvie S. (a.k.a. Harvie Swartz), and drummer Allison Miller, Mayhew bops, bounces, and floats through a wide-ranging program of originals, standards, and modern compositions by such eminent names as Steve Swallow ("Babble On") and Kenny Barron ("Phantoms"). Piano-less quartets are always treading a thin line between salutary freedom and potential harmonic chaos, but it is Mayhew's particular strength to be able to hold this group together almost telepathically, ...
