In the tradition of The Jazz Messengers and The Jazztet, One For All is the quintessential hardbop band. "The Lineup" marks the band's return to Sharp Nine Records where it debuted in 1997 to great acclaim with "Too Soon To Tell" (SHP #1006) followed in

For One for All, a top-notch all-star hard bop sextet, The Lineup is their 11th album. Returning to their original label, Sharp Nine, the group's basic sound is unchanged from when it was formed in 1997, being very much in the style of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers without sounding overly derivative. Four of the group's musicians contributed seven of the eight selections to this program, all but the standard "Sweet and Lovely." Alternating medium-tempo romps with ballads, each performance features high-quality solos, clean ensembles, and hard swinging. This is no-nonsense modern straight-ahead jazz played by some of the top interpreters of the idiom, and is easily recommended. ~ Scott Yanow

| | Wynton Marsalis Live At The House Of Tribes CD (2005)
Lineup
$13.65
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 ...

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 ...

Recording information: Electrical Audio Recording.
The Chicago-based singer-songwriter Edith Frost has carved out a niche for herself as a purveyor of fragile-sounding yet inwardly tough songs that leave ample room for reflection. Here, she's given a sensitive and sympathetic backing by an all-star lineup of Chicago indie-rockers, including Wilco drummer Glenn Kotche and Sea & Cake member Archer Prewitt, on a set that explores relationships and the shadows behind them, as well as the fears and dreams that lurk just beneath the surface of existence.
Wonder Wonder is a fresh and genuine peek into the progressive evolution of talented and notable Chicago singer/songwriter Edith Frost. Her third album is by far her most focused, and her approach is both innovative and charmingly poetic. As the songwriter, Frost breathes new life into her material with introspective lyrical messages and catchy, creative ...
| | Nicky Skopelitis Revelator CD (2001)
Lineup
$14.49
Although they both claim the guitar as their instrument of choice, Nicky Skopelitis and Raoul Björkenheim probably couldn't come from more radically different backgrounds. But one essential trait they do share is an inexhaustible thirst for new directions and new sensibilities in music, and with Revelator - a collaboration that, true to its title, attempts to reveal the unexpected as it also explores a slightly spiritual edge - the guitar becomes a vehicle for two distinct voices. From there, the quest for a third voice begins: where creative forces meet to offer up a glimpse of one possible musical future.Nicky Skopelitis, a lifelong New York native, studied the trumpet as a child before gravitating to the guitar and a multitude of stringed instruments. True to his Greek heritage, he was fueled by an ongoing interest in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern musical styles. As a teenager he became an integral fixture on the East Village downtown "no wave" scene, and in the late 70s and early 80s performed with bassist and partner-in-crime Bill Laswell in the avant-rock unit Curlew and in a later manifestation of Material (with Laswell, Michael Beinhorn and Fred Maher), as well as with offshoots like Anton Fier's Golden Palaminos. Skopelitis has recorded and played with such luminaries as Ginger Baker, guitar great Sonny Sharrock (on the now-classic Faith Moves) and Palestinian oud and violin player Simon Shaheen, to name a few, and has contributed to numerous Laswell-generated studio projects over the years both as musician and producer - most notably on his own Next To Nothing (Virgin/Venture) and his quintessential Axiom label release Ekstasis, a name that he took up once again for a group recording in 1999 called Wake Up and Dream, released by the CyberOctave imprint. Skopelitis' influence can also be heard on a multi-layered ambient-jazz excursion with legendary ...
