| | Jay Lawrence Thermal Strut CD Jay Lawrence Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
Although drummer Jay Lawrence is the leader of this trio date and bassist Lynn Seaton is excellent in support, Thermal Strut is a success primarily due to the playing of pianist Tamir Hendelman. A major pianist based in Los Angeles who works with the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra, Hendelman is brilliant throughout the modern mainstream set, whether romping on "Topsy" and "Opus De Funk," or sounding impressionistic on "Almost Summer" and Lawrence's "Eulogy." Seaton and Lawrence both play well behind Hendelman, who is particularly expressive on Jimmy Rowles' "Peacocks." Recommended. ~ Scott Yanow
Veteran drummer Jay Lawrence assembles a dynamic and swinging trio to explore a set of great American music including compositions by Herbie Hancock, Horace Silver, Jimmy Rowles and Cole Porter. Often compared with Oscar Peterson and Benny Green, pianist

| | Lee Ritenour World Of Brazil CD (2005)
Thermal Strut music CDs
$8.65 
Guitarist Lee Ritenour has long been associated with Brazilian styles (especially after playing with Sergio Mendes's Brasil '77 in the '70s), and 2005's WORLD OF BRAZIL continues that association to excellent effect. Ritenour's smooth, soulful style lends itself perfectly to bossa nova and samba grooves on this mix of originals and covers (including, not surprisingly, several tunes by the genre's greatest composer, Antonio Carlos Jobim).
But one of the things that makes WORLD OF BRAZIL such a treat is the host of guest stars, which includes keyboardists Herbie Hancock and Dave Grusin, bassist ...
| | Enrico Rava Tati CD (2005)
Thermal Strut songs
$14.99
Enrico Rava's restrained trumpet playing has been regarded in modern times as perfectly reflective of the ECM sound. It is wrapped in European classical music while displaying a lyricism that goes beyond strict tonality, reaching for a soulful arena that only he can claim in the post-Miles Davis era. The emerging pianist Stefano Bollani joins Rava and veteran drummer Paul Motian for this contrabass-less trio that uses a downplayed sonic footprint, at times ethereal, but mostly calmed, collected, and serenely furnished. The compositions are mainly Rava's in hushed tones, but occasionally a modern progressive, bop-influenced, or energetic presence creeps in. Bollani's style is romantically based and postmodern in derivation, while Motian ...
| | Denny Zeitlin In Concert CD (1995)
Thermal Strut album
$13.45
Denny Zeitlin is the greatest unsung modern pianist jazz has ever produced. His daily occupation as a psychotherapist keeps him close to home in Northern California, but he occasionally steps out with a concert performance or very worthwhile recording. On this CD, done at the Jazz Bakery in Los Angeles or the Outpost in Albuquerque, you get the best of both with professional musicians like bassist Buster Williams and drummer Matt Wilson. Usually heard solo or in duets, we should be happy Zeitlin's trio hits on all cylinders of passion, literacy, brilliant inventive musicianship, and teamwork to offer a set of music that should please anyone who enjoys original jazz keyboard works without compromise. What is telling in the construct of Zeitlin's melodies, reharmonizations, and solos is that he is always interesting without being flashy or bound ...
| | Monterey Quartet Live At The 2007 Monterey Jazz Festival CD (2009)
Thermal Strut CD music
$14.55 
In modern jazz, few super groups are formed even for one-shot efforts due to scheduling, but the Monterey Jazz Festival has been inclined to forge bands of steel to perform at their legendary event. Ostensibly a Dave Holland quartet, pianist Gonzalo Rubalcaba is the missing link, one who has played in the U.S. only sporadically since the political ban of Cuban musicians in the 2000s. Happily he is here with Holland, former Holland quintet tenor saxophonist Chris Potter, and the fantastic drummer Eric Harland, who has been a regular member of Holland's quintet and big band. The difference is that this is in fact truly a co-op combo, with each member contributing original compositions. Rarely does such a band loaded with talent come together so cohesively, making some of the most exciting neo-bop based music to come across the pike in ...
