On his seventh release for Capri, it is immediately apparent that Keith Oxman's abilities as a writer make him a force to be reckoned with. The tenor saxophonist makes his small group sound like a much larger band in his creative arrangement of the standard "I Hear a Rhapsody," showcasing veteran trombonist Curtis Fuller, trumpeter Al Hood, and pianist Chip Stephens, in addition to himself. Fuller's "Cap'n Kid" is cast as a playful calypso with Todd Reid's tom-toms and Stephens' Latin groove providing plenty of fuel for the soloists. Oxman really demonstrates how far he's willing to push the envelope by adding Peter Cooper's oboe as the initial lead voice in a warm quintet setting of "Darn That Dream." The leader also contributed several thoughtful originals to the date, including the sassy, very hip "Anna Kate" and the challenging blues "Two Wheelin' Nathan," in which Fuller takes top solo honors. This enjoyable CD is warmly recommended to hard bop fans. ~ Ken Dryden
Keith Oxman's 6th release for Capri is his best recording to date. He has taken great care in his arrangements to breathe life into little heard standards and his original compositions have the qualities to make them standards for tomorrow's musicians. T

All songs written by Ken Schaphorst except "All The Things You Are" (Jerome Kern) and "Con Alma" (Dizzy Gillespie).
Composer/bandleader Schaphorst is known for his modern big-band charts, but for this recording the band is down to a tentet. Still loaded with great Boston-based ensemble players and soloists, the musicians read their leader's dense, clever, and twist-turning tunes to a tee. The group here includes John Medeski (piano), Billy Martin (drums), and Chris Wood (bass) join Either/Orchestra members John Dirac (electric guitar), Doug Yates (alto sax/bass clarinet), John Carlson (trumpet), and Curtis Hasselbring (trombone), alongside Donny McCaslin (tenor/soprano sax), Bob Levy (trumpet), and Dane Richeson (percussion). Of the seven pieces, two are revamped standards: the well-worn "All the Things You Are" has an African highlife beat derived with wonderfully conceived swelling and receding horns; and Dizzy Gillespie's "Con Alma" is creepy crawly, with a reggae tinge leading to a swing bridge. Both are conceived quite well. The 20-minute, three part "Concerto for John Medeski" has the intro "Flowing" in a contrasting tick-tock/mouse-ran-up-the-clock feel superimposed on a waltz theme. Medeski's ruminating solo piano goes into oriental-waltz mode and back to blues, comprising part two, "Standing Still." The finale "Flying" sets the pianist on a hot dance free fall with a bop-parachute frenzy. Schaphorst's preference for juxtapositions ...

ALBUM NOTES:LOUIE & CLARK EXPEDITION 2 is a big band collaboration of drummer Louie Bellson and trumpeter Clark Terry, each an American jazz master in his own right. These "2" legends perform, improvise, mentor and lead a 17-piece big band on an adventure reminiscent of its namesake, the historic "Lewis and Clark Expedition" of 1803. As composer, Bellson calls upon four capable arrangers including Tonight Show bandleader, Tommy Newsom.The opening four movements, The Chicago Suite, form the latest entry into a series of composer Bellson's salutes to American cities. Also of note is a delightful drum feature, "Two Guys and a Gal", showcasing three drummers Bellson, Kenny Washington and Sylvia Cuenca. Liner notes written by historian and jazz advocate Nat Hentoff describe the music as a "!celebration of the human spirit that keeps regenerating itself."Francine Bellson, Artist ManagerCONTACTS: louiebellson. net clarkterry drumchannel MUSICIANS:LOUIE BELLSON, composer & drumsCLARK TERRY, trumpet & flugelhornKenny Washington & Sylvia Cuenca, drums17-piece big bandSUMMARY:Genres: Big Band, Jazz, SwingStudio Recording: May 29-30, 2007 New YorkRelease: 2008Label: Percussion PowerExecutive Producer: Louie BellsonDesign Producer: Francine BellsonLiner Notes: Nat HentoffREVIEWS OF THIS CD:(for links, go to website: louiebellson. net)Joe ...
