| | Matt Criscuolo Streets Of New York CD Matt Criscuolo Discography of CDs
matt criscuolo,native of the bronx,ny comes out strong with his debut album as a leader. what separates matt from other altoists is his immediately unique and identifiable tone.on this album ,matt doesn't just merely capitalize on his obvious fluid technique,he also remarkably finds a middle ground between the alto sax tradition of hard boppers and a more progressive approach to improvisation. he avoids the allure of the "prima donna" complex of showing off , and confidently features a well rounded project that is poignant,emotive, and thought provoking. of the 9 songs,6 are originals and showcase his compositional talents as well as his lyrical approach and concept. if you are familiar with the work of the late art blakey group with val ponomarev,dave schnitter and bobby watson, you may have a basic point of reference in understanding how this group sounds.this recording is a keeper and one you'll listen to regularly because it appeals to not only the serious progressive jazz player or listener, but also to the "not so heavy" jazz listener. matt is accompanied by phil bowler on bass(whose credits include collaborations with max roach,slide hampton,horace silver,roland kirk,wynton marsalis,ralph peterson,terence blanchard). alan palmer on piano(jackie maclean's pianist) .ken barry on tenor(another hip sax player who sticks out). graham bruce on trumpet(he also arranged most of the tunes on this cd brilliantly). beaver bausch on drums(a massive and up and coming force) ...this album will,as many have undeniably testified, probably get worn out from playing it so much .you'll find that this album will be the perfect soundtrack to whatever mood you're in.

Streets Of New York songs
$9.59 How a good-looking Jewish boy from Brooklyn discovered the secret of success in an updated form of mariachi music is perhaps beyond our scope. Then again, it might not be such a mystery after all. Aside from the obvious example of exotica, much easy listening depends upon more than a touch of ethnicity to maintain its musical roots. What Herb Alpert found in Mexican street bands was a previously untapped source of south-of-the-border melody and rhythm. With its unlikely combination of ...

Streets Of New York CD music
$9.39 When bandleader Stan Kenton was approached to record an album of holiday music in 1961 he agreed, on one condition -- no songs about singing snowmen or flying reindeer. The resulting album, A Merry Christmas, is a polyphonic masterpiece that is at once progressive and traditional. Included are such well-known classics as "O Tannenbaum" and "The Twelve Days of Christmas" as well as lesser known gems like "The Holly and the Ivy" and "Once in Royal David's City." Featuring Kenton's idiosyncratic style of ...
| | New Sound Of Brazil: Piano Sound Of Joao Donato CD (1965)
Streets Of New York music CDs
$11.89 This very evocative 1965 recording session was a cause for celebration not only among critics but among the bossa nova-crazed audiences of Brazil and the U.S, and it sold quite well. Donato is a jazz pianist first, and his allegiances in harmony and melody come from there first and foremost. But rhythmically and in his phrasing, he comes from the generation of Brazilian musicians who developed the bossa nova as an art form. His touch ...
| | Dawan Muhammad Hereafter CD (2003)
Streets Of New York songs
$15.95 Dawan Muhammad qualifies as a unique kind of renaissance man. For Hereafter he plays woodwinds and flutes, is composer, arranger, conceptualizer, and label manager. But the reality is so much broader than that. He is a community activist and non-profit entrepreneur, as much concerned for the mental and cultural health of Bay Area communities, and propagation of this unique art form we call jazz, as he is about his own musical development. He gives back to the community in a variety of different, well-chronicled ways;he gives back to the music in this instance with Hereafter.Dawan¹s primary vehicle, LifeForcejazz, is not only the imprimatur of this recording, it is also a means of bringing arts and culture to various Bay Area communities, through a variety of after-school and weekend programsfor youngsters and young adults. LifeForcejazz, which can be accessed on the web at www.lifeforcejazz.com (http://www.lifeforcejazz.com), also provides vehicles to assist independent jazz recording artists to better maximizetheir product and opportunities. Just who is the dynamic force behind LifeForcejazz?Born in Dallas Texas, Dawan Muhammad seemed to naturally respond to jazz, even as a toddler. He later became intrigued by homegrown jazz artists like Buster Smith, Red Garland, Ornette Coleman, King Curtis, Kenny Dorham, David"Fathead" Newman, Cedar Walton, and James Clay, just to name a few. When Muhammad¹s family migrated to the San Francisco Bay Area, he took up the saxophone in middle school. By the time he entered military service his altosax was just a memory, but his love for jazz and experience in the service drove him to resume his musical quest. He enrolled in correspondence courses from Berklee School of Music and was eventually stationed at McGuire Air Force Base in New Jersey where he came in contact with New York-based artists and mentors such as Frank Wess,George Coleman, Barry Harris, James Spaulding, Don Patterson, Joe Chambers and a host of others.Following his service stint he earned degrees in Political Science and Islamic Studies from UC Santa Cruz. While matriculating, ...
