Joe Lovano I'm All For You CD (2004)

Swinging The Blues CD music

$13.49

Joe Lovano's big-toned tenor saxophone (think John Coltrane in the '50s, or Sonny Rollins, as reference points) has graced many diverse jazz contexts. From soul-jazz (Lonnie Smith) to straight-ahead big band (Woody Herman, Mel Lewis) to freer, edgier situations (Paul Motian), the adaptable Lovano has excelled in all these while remaining true to himself. In his career as a leader, Lovano rarely repeats himself: he's recorded unique tribute albums to inspirations as diverse as Frank Sinatra, Enrico Caruso, and Tadd Dameron. With I'M ALL FOR YOU--which could be subtitled "Lovano Plays For Lovers"--Lovano takes it easy, after ...

One More: Music Of Thad Jones CD (2005)

Swinging The Blues songs

$13.39

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the formation of the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra, and as an excuse to play the compositions of the late great Thad Jones, a group of top jazz veterans was enlisted for this project. Michael Patterson arranged 11 of Jones' songs, adapting Thad's own arrangements, which were originally made for either combos or a big band, for the all-star octet. Each of the veteran musicians had an association with Thad Jones. Happily, they all sound in pretty good form, with the tenors of Benny Golson, James Moody, and Frank Wess battling it out on "One More." A tape of the late pianist Sir Roland Hanna is used during the first part of Jones' most famous original, "A Child Is Born." Jimmy Owens proves to be an excellent fill-in for Thad; this is one of his finest recordings. It is also fitting that Thad's older brother, Hank Jones, is on piano. The final number, Thelonious Monk's "Monk's Mood," is included because it was one of Thad Jones' favorite songs. All in all, this is a well-conceived and very musical ...

SF Jazz Collective CD (2005)

Swinging The Blues album

$15.89

The SF Jazz Collective is a group assembled under the auspices of saxophonist Joshua Redman during his tenure as the artistic director of the Bay Area, non-profit organization SFJAZZ. With funding from SFJAZZ, Redman put together an octet of younger, high-profile players including himself, alto saxophonist/flutist Miguel Zenon, pianist Renee Rosnes, trumpeter Nicolas Payton, trombonist Josh Roseman, drummer Brian Blades, and bassist Robert Hurst. The kicker here is the inclusion of legendary vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson, one of the most adventurous and distinctive voices on the instrument since the 1960s. While the results of all-star group endeavors can sometimes be dicey, that is not the case here, as this magnificent live recording proves. The program features several originals, including Rosnes's rhythmically-free, mid-tempo exploration "Of This Day's Journey," Redman's shape-shifting "Rise and Fall," and ...

Phil Woods American Songbook CD (2006)

Swinging The Blues CD music

$14.39

Phil Woods, the great American saxophonist, has been featured in more diverse settings than almost anyone in the history of the music. His constant challenging of himself as a player, bandleader, and composer has been admirable since his debut set as a leader. While standards sets these days are not only a dime a dozen but mostly cop-outs from established artists and newcomers who either lost or never had the chops to execute them with any aesthetic imprint, let alone the one they deserve, septuagenarian Woods breathes life into ten of these tunes, and reinvents them both as harmonic structures and as tools for swing. With trumpeter Brian Lynch, pianist Bill Charlap (a fine leader in his own right), bassist Steve Gilmore, and Billy Goodwin on drums, Woods takes on "Foggy Day" as if it were a new tune. The same goes for the age-old jazz ballad of choice "All the Things You Are," on which Charlap sets the course for a wondrous take with the ensemble playing together as if they co-wrote the tune. Lynch's muted trumpet is a natural choice, but Charlap's extrapolation on the chord voicings and Woods playing the middle-low register of his horn and easing out with a sense of phrasing akin to Paul Desmond's. The front-line interplay on "I've Got You Under My Skin," is simply gorgeous, especially when Woods takes his second solo break and Lynch slips back in behind the beat. One can hear the entire history of the alto as a solo instrument in this tune. And if you are about to groan at seeing the nugget "Summertime" ...
