| | Alec Haavik Rocks CD Alec Haavik Discography of CDs
Alec Haavik (Tenor and Soprano Saxophone) presents a set of original compositions which meld the gritty sounds of rock-and-roll with improvisational jazz. The band includes some of the most fiercely original voices on the scene in New York City. Check out the opening track, "Make It Happen," which moves from 80's pop to polytonal reggae to Miles Davis 70's fusion to Devo-style New Wave. The next track, "Ebay," was inspired by both Jimi Hendrix's "The Wind Cries Mary" and the atonal music of 20th Century composer, Anton Von Webern. Rounding out the experience is a pair of cover tunes: "Life of Leisure" (Luscious Jackson) and a medley of "Walking on the Moon" (The Police) and "Giant Steps" (John Coltrane). There's still more musical surprises, brought to life by these astounding players.

"John Tumminello has crafted one of the finest debut albums I have heard in a very long time. Filled with great songwriting, beautiful ballads and driving rockers, "Eventually" is the one album every serious music fan should have in their collection!" - Pat Wolfe, KDHX, St. Louis-Includes the Billboard awarding winning song "Here I Am" and the Top 10 Americana track "Still Crazy (In Love With You)"------------------Try it out if you like: Springsteen, Petty, The Replacements, Westerberg, Mellencamp, Train, Matchbox 20, John Mayer, Bob Dylan, Cars, Squeeze, Wallflowers, Jack Johnson, Pete Yorn or Tom Waits. ---------------"I've been trying to write a review of John Tumminello's Eventually for some time and have found it to be a remarkably difficult thing to accomplish. The short version is easy: Eventually is the finest debut effort I've heard in quite some time.The long version is much more difficult because I can't quite figure out what makes this record so special. The songs are expertly crafted, to be sure. The simple two note guitar riff that builds to support the lyric of the second verse of the opening track, "Here I am" (which has one of the most infectious choruses you'll ever hear) and the vocal echo that accentuates the ending phrase of most, but not every line of those verses clearly demonstrate that Tummunello knows what he is doing. But the skillful use of compositional devices is not unique and doesn't, by itself make for a great record. Tumminello's lyrics are insightful and poignant: "In this life you cannot choose who you'll love and who you'll lose," but insight isn't all that uncommon among songwriters.It may be that the songs, as well as Tumminello's voice, are completely original and yet vaguely familiar. It has been said that the work of an artist is the sum of his influences. If that's true, Tumminello has been influenced by every great song and every great band of the last forty years. On first listen, I was subtely reminded of many of my favorite artists. Subsequent hearings have merely added to that list. Eventually is a remarkable record, one that I'll keep listening to, if for no other reason, than to figure out why it's so damn good. I suspect that you'll do the same."David AgostaHostDr. Dave's Traveling Medicine ShowWPKN 89.5 Bridgeport, CT---------------Life is complicated.

$14.79
This recording marks the 2nd collaboration between internationally renowned innovative pianist Joel Futterman and SF Bay Area reed player Ike Levin. This series of innovative musical dialogues between two adventuresome artists take the listener on a spirited emotional journey characterized by spiraling heights of intense passion and meditative depths of introspection. These two musicians creatively merge their unique voices into a coherent and stirring array of musical inventions while stretching the boundaries of tonality, rhythm, and harmony. Each original composition, created entirely "in the moment," unfolds unpredictably while maintaining a strong sense of purpose derived from attuned deep listening without attachment to any preconceptions. This is a tight improvisational duo whose hearts ears are open to each other. This recording offers another strong contribution to improvised music in the 21st century. About The ArtistsJoel Futterman known for his spirited, highly imaginative, and radical technique is a veteran pioneer into the frontiers of spontaneous, improvised music.
