Personnel: Gonzalo Rubalcaba (piano); Gonzalo Rubalcaba.
Audio Mixer: Jim Anderson .
Recording information: Hit Factory And Criteria Studios, Miami, FL (06/08/2005-06/10/2005).
Photographer: Jana Leon.
The virtuoso Cuban pianist Gonzalo Rubalcaba performs a variety of standards and original compositions on this remarkable stylistic display. While Rubalcaba is obviously capable of jaw-dropping feats of pianistic skill, on SOLO he more frequently opts for an understated approach that creates a nuanced setting for his lyrical flights of fancy. Combining Cuban rhythms and impressionistic neo-classical forms, this collection of improvisations is spellbinding, with the delicacy of a spider's web and the underlying resilience of a rock-solid technical foundation.Down Beat (p.69) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "SOLO is generally measured, lush and romantic....The disc's real threat comes on 'Prologo,' which is more vigorous, more overtly Latin, rollicking and playful, punctuated with moments of darkness and ambiguity."
JazzTimes (p.78) - "Accept SOLO for what it is -- spontaneous inner dialogue from a brilliant, inquisitive mind -- and your enjoyment of this album will be considerably enhanced."

Herbie Hancock Piano CD  (1978) Bonus Tracks; Remastered

Previously available only as a limited edition, Japanese import.
Personnel: Herbie Hancock (piano); Herbie Hancock.
Audio Mixers: Fred Catero; David Rubinson; Tamoo Suzuki ; Brian Bell.
Liner Note Authors: Herbie Hancock; David Rubinson; Bob Belden.
Recording information: CBS Studios, Tokyo, Japan (10/25/1978-10/26/1978).
Author: Herbie Hancock.
Photographers: Max Hellweg; Akira Aimi; Jan Persson; Jon Sievert.
Recorded after the funky fusion of Head Hunters, Thrust, Sextant, and other electric albums, and before the dawn of "Rockit" and more commercially viable and hip-hop-oriented material, Herbie Hancock took time out in 1978 to touch base again with his piano. Recorded completely solo, this set was issued only in Japan as the truly awful Feets, Don't Fail Me Now was issued stateside. A curious set, the first half of the album features Hancock playing jazz standards in truly elegant and restrained fashion. His treatments of "My Funny Valentine," "Green Dolphin Street," and "Someday My Prince Will Come" ...

Conrad Herwig Que Viva Coltrane CD  (2004) (Import) Netherlands

Solo

Pollwinning trombonist Conrad Herwig and acclaimed trumpeter Brian Lynch join together for a burning program of Latin Jazz treatments of compositions by the great John Coltrane. Herwig and Lynch use the unique rapport they've achieved through their many Personnel: Conrad Herwig (trombone); Conrad Herwig; John Benítez (double bass); Robert Ameen, Robby Ameen (drums); Mario Rivera (flute, tenor saxophone); Brian Lynch (trumpet, flugelhorn); Edsel Gomez (piano); Richie Flores (congas).
Liner Note Authors: Conrad Herwig; Brian Lynch.
Recording information: Systems Two Recordsing Studios, Brooklyn, NY (12/15/2003).
Photographer: Gildas Boclé.
Arrangers: Conrad Herwig; Brian Lynch.
What more could Latin jazz fans ask for, seriously? Not only are all the players just this side of top guns, they have been playing together in the same group for just shy of ten years. An all-star lineup and the genuine synergy that comes with regular collaboration do not happen often. When they do, well, it's ...

Live At The House Of Tribes

Wynton Marsalis Live At The House Of Tribes CD  (2005)

Solo
CD $13.65  4.3 stars Audio Samples
Live at the House of Tribes documents trumpeter Wynton Marsalis performing with his sextet at the intimate community theater space in New York City on December 15, 2002. Apparently an annual ritual of sorts for Marsalis, the performance makes for one of his best live recordings since 1986's stellar Live at Blues Alley. Backed by a slightly altered lineup from his 2005 Blue Note studio debut, The Magic Hour, Marsalis gains first-class support from alto saxophonist Wessel Anderson, pianist Eric Lewis, drummer Joe Farnsworth, bassist Kengo Nakamura, and percussionist Orlando Q. Rodriguez. Special mention must be made of Robert Rucker for his highly energetic tambourine performance on the New Orleans "2nd Line" finale. New Orleans jazz aficionados may recognize this tune as "Joe Avery's Blues" and based on the cheering, clapping, and general rowdiness of the crowd, it probably found the band marching around the room. In fact, one of the great things about the album is that you can really hear the crowd. There are many moments of the band playing a particularly nice phrase or line and somebody ...
One Up, One Down: Live At The Half Note

John Coltrane One Up, One Down: Live At The Half Note CDs  (2005) Remastered

Solo
CD $18.95  5 stars Audio Samples
Live Recording Personnel: John Coltrane (soprano saxophone, tenor saxophone); Alan Grant (spoken vocals); McCoy Tyner (piano); Jimmy Garrison (double bass); Elvin Jones (drums).
ONE DOWN, ONE UP: LIVE AT THE HALF NOTE, recorded in the last year of the classic quartet's existence, captures John Coltrane, drummer Elvin Jones, pianist McCoy Tyner, and bassist Jimmy Garrison going full blast. Recorded a year after A LOVE SUPREME, Coltrane was already moving on to extended improvisation, stretching out a single composition for 15 or 20 minutes while deconstructing it from every conceivable angle, turning his saxophone into an instrument of relentless exploration.
The dramatic, spiraling inventions of Tyner lend a frenetic element to Coltrane's already intense lines, while Jones and Garrison find and rearrange nearly every rhythm and counter-rhythm imaginable. There are only four tracks here (spread out over two discs), but each--whether it's the fiery title track or the exhilarating take on "My Favorite Things"--is a study in artistry.
2005 was a watershed year for unreleased music by John ...

Thelonious Monk At Carnegie Hall CD  (2005)

Solo
CD $12.89  4.8 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
Personnel: Thelonious Monk (piano); John Coltrane (tenor saxophone); Ahmed Abdul-Malik (bass instrument); Shadow Wilson (drums).
Liner Note Authors: Larry Appelbaum; Robin D.G. Kelley; Ira Gitler; Lewis Porter; Amiri Baraka; Stanley Crouch; Ashley Kahn.
Recording information: Carnegie Hall, New York, NY (11/29/1957).
Larry Appelbaum, the recording lab supervisor at the Library of Congress, came across this tape by accident while transferring the library's tape archive to digital. What a find. Forget the Five Spot recording that sounds like it was recorded inside of a tunnel from the far end. The sound here is wonderfully present and contemporary. More importantly, this band -- which also included drummer Shadow Wilson and bassist Ahmed Abdul-Malik -- had it right on November 29, 1957, at Carnegie Hall. The John Coltrane on this date is far more assured than he had been four months earlier on the Five Spot date and on the initial Prestige side Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane. He'd been with Monk for four months and had absorbed his complex, multivalent musical system completely. It's clear from ...

Although Coltrane only recorded one proper album for Blue Note (Blue Train), he is credited as a sideman on several dates for the venerable jazz label. This disc paints the picture with two numbers from Blue Train (the title track and "Locomotion") and cuts from dates with Paul Chambers ("Just for the Love" from 1956's Whims of Chambers), Johnny Griffin ("Smoke Stack" from 1957's Blowin' Session), and Sonny Clark (the title track from 1957's Sonny's Crib). Rounded out by an early side with McCoy Tyner ("One and Four") and a sample from Coltrane's only meeting with Cecil Taylor (Kenny Dorham's "Shifting Down"), Trane's Blues will no doubt be of interest to fans looking beyond the tenor great's extensive Prestige, Atlantic, and Impulse! catalogs. ~ Stephen Cook
In short, this collection of Coltrane performances is fantastic. Though ...
