Henry Threadgill has, in the framework of abstract music, been a stalwart, spontaneous composer whose personal sound is near impossible to identify, or certainly codify. A listener who enjoys very challenged music would have difficulty in discerning what is made up or written out. The elusive nature of Threadgill's kind of progressive jazz has to confound even those most oriented to his quirky pieces. Where the quintet ...

| | Bad Company CD (2003) (Import) United Kingdom
Eric Valentine's Jazz Impressions music CDs
$15.29
With stuttering treble and straightforward beat the Bad Company riddim never over-shadows the dancehall singers. The rhythm is so simple that there aren't familiar patterns that the background s singers can fall into. This keeps several tracks from sounding very similar which is what happens on many other rhythm albums. A dominant rhythm seems to trap singers into cutting tracks that are almost indistinguishable. The Bad Company riddim sets the singers free and they turn some good tracks. Despite the lack of an obvious gimmick, the rhythm has ...

SUZANNE BROOKS, Jazz Stylist, with a smooth, mature voice delivers sophisticated jazz vocals & moving interpretations of lyrics. Known also for passionate and moving Gospel and a repertoire of R&B, Salsa and Country tunes, as well as jazz, she delivers in a style all her own. In Great Women of Jazz: A Tribute, she presents a selection of songs from her show, “Great Women of Jazz” which offers a musical history of women in jazz between 1890 and 1990. The show, which premiered in 2004, focuses attention on some distinguished singers, from Bessie Smith and Adelaide Hall to Nina Simone and Betty Carter. Also represented are significant singers like Astrud Gilberto, Annie Ross, Nancy Lamott and Blossom Dearie, as well as the expected Sarah Vaughn, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Washington. Following a subsequent performance of “Great Women of Jazz” in a dinner theater environment, Brooks began the work to record this sampling of songs from the show which accompany her original script. With the completion of this project, work has begun to put the show, which includes dancers with original choreography by the remarkably brilliant Pepper Von, on tour. An array of studio musicians accompanied Brooks in the recording Great Women of Jazz: A Tribute in the studio she owns in Sacramento. Some also performed in the shows and some perform frequently in her band, aptly named The Jazz Generation. Featured on Great Women of Jazz: A Tribute are the following: Rolin Shafer, keyboardist, who has accompanied Brooks for nearly two years. Originally from Indiana, Shafer has performed with the Four Tops, Teddy Pendergrass, Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes and others in California, DC, Dallas & in Korea on a USO Tour.BROOKS has also just released LISTENING TO THE Radio, a single and her own compositionâ€"lyrics and musicâ€"written in 2005 in memory of Jack Hall, a grandson of slaves and son of sharecroppers, who hired her as his biographer in the last year of his life. She visited him weekly, singing jazz and gospel songs to him at his bedside. For this special CD, she asked Reggie Graham, noted Sacramento jazz/Gospel musician and her good friend to join her. Graham’s history includes performances with legends like John Hendricks, The Ellington Orchestra, George Benson, ...
