Cedar Walton shows no signs of slowing down at age 72, demonstrating both experience and enthusiasm in this invigorating studio session. Accompanied by Vincent Herring (heard on tenor sax, but just on the first two songs), bassist David Williams, and drummer Joe Farnsworth, the pianist revisits two of his earlier compositions, "One Flight Down" and "The Rubber Man," that are among his very best. He then switches gears and offers an engaging medley of three favorite Billy Strayhorn standards. The playfulness of the brisk treatment of "Lush Life" removes its maudlin character. Likewise, the usually plaintive ballad "Daydream" benefits from adding a Latin rhythm and Walton's breezy interpretation. Farnsworth's crisp brushwork propels the fast rendition of "Raincheck." Williams is prominently featured in the late Sam Jones' "Seven Minds," though Walton delivers a stunning solo of his own. The one non-Strayhorn standard of the date is "Time After Time," performed at an easygoing tempo much closer to its original setting than typical jazz performances, though Walton doesn't mind adding a few fancy flourishes in his rollicking solo. Highly recommended. ~ Ken Dryden Cedar Walton One Flight Down Songs | 1. | One Flight Down | |

| | Sonny Rollins Without A Song (The 9/11 Concert) CD (2005)
One Flight Down
$9.59 Personnel: Sonny Rollins (tenor saxophone); Sonny Rollins; Clifton Anderson (trombone); Stephen Scott (piano, kalimba); Bob Cranshaw (electric bass, bass guitar); Perry Wilson (drums); Kimati Dinizulu (percussion). Audio Remixer: Richard Corsello. Liner Note Author: Bob Blumenthal. Recording information: Berklee Performance Center, Boston, MA (09/15/2001). Editor: Richard Corsello. Photographers: Ken Franckling; John Abbott . When the disasters on 9/11 occurred, the great tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins was in his New York apartment, only blocks away from the World Trade Center. He survived a night without electricity and was of course deeply affected by the catastrophe. At the urging of his wife and manager, Lucille, he fulfilled an engagement to play in Boston four days later, and the concert recording was released four years later. Rollins is quite emotional in his playing and can be heard throughout in peak creative form. While many ...
| | Thelonious Monk At Carnegie Hall CD (2005)
One Flight Down
$12.89 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 ...

| | Cedar Walton Seasoned Wood CD (2008)
One Flight Down
$13.65 Personnel: Jeremy Pelt, Al Foster, Vincent Herring, Peter Washington. Liner Note Author: Kirk Silsbee. Post-bop mainstay Cedar Walton has tickled the ivories with everyone from Art Blakey to Clifford Jordan, but his solo discography is not to be overlooked. SEASONED WOOD, cut when Walton was nearing his mid-70s, is as vital and refined as anything he's done in his career. Backed by an exceptional quintet, including drummer Al Foster and longtime cohort saxophonist Vincent Herring, Walton swings fiercely on standards ("The Man I Love," "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square") and on his own excellent originals. Sophisticated and elegant, Walton updates his classic post-bop sound, not by forcing it into something it's not, but by bringing it to life with the wisdom and panache of a veteran. Well known for his work as the pianist in Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers and his seminal labors as pianist for Freddie Hubbard, Lee Morgan, Hank Mobley, and Sonny Criss in the 1960s, and with Clifford Jordan on his seminal Glass Bead Games and Night of the ...

Photographer: Ethan Russell. Much of Who's Next derives from Lifehouse, an ambitious sci-fi rock opera Pete Townshend abandoned after suffering a nervous breakdown, caused in part from working on the sequel to Tommy. There's no discernable theme behind these songs, yet this album is stronger than Tommy, falling just behind Who Sell Out as the finest record the Who ever cut. Townshend developed an infatuation with synthesizers during the recording of the album, and they're all over this album, adding ...
