Anton Schwartz used the blues as inspiration for nine compositions heard on this studio session, though many of them are not especially bluesy. With a band including a longtime
collaborator, guitarist Peter Bernstein, plus rising star Taylor Eigsti on piano, bassist John Shiflett and drummer Tim Bulkley, the tenor saxophonist kicks off the date with his percolating, funky "Phantom Dance," which rhythmically suggests the influence of Eddie Harris. His engaging "Slightly Off Course" would have easily been a fit with Art Blakey's repertoire, while Schwartz speaks his mind with a hot tenor solo in "Marcel Marceau." The only standard is a thoughtful arrangement of Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Wave." The band provides strong support throughout the date, with Bernstein and Eigsti adding potent solos as well. Beautifully recorded in 24-bit stereo, this CD is warmly recommended. ~ Ken DrydenDown Beat (p.92) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he album is given a solid boost by Peter Bernstein, a Grant Green-rooted guitarist who always digs deeply into each playing situation."
JazzTimes (p.106) - "As for Schwartz, he has a classic clear-throated tenor sound and kicks like a mule. His zeal to communicate is fervent yet sophisticated." Anton Schwartz Radiant Blue Songs Radiant Blue Review

Charles Lloyd: Charles Lloyd (alto flute, tarogato, tenor saxophone); Jason Moran (piano); Reuben Rogers (double bass); Eric Harland (drums, percussion).

A fixture on the jazz scene since the early 1960s, reedist Charles Lloyd has played with practically everyone under the sun and has demonstrated remarkable variety in his playing, ranging across post-bop, chamber jazz, free jazz, soul-jazz, and pop. Lloyd was approaching 70 at the time of RABO DE NUBE's release in 2008; the disc, a live performance, is some of the most vital and engaging of his career. In part ...

Recording information: Avatar Studios, New York, NY (08/2007).
Using a sextet, upright bassist Holland sets the bar even higher than on his previous efforts, adding the always tasteful pianist Mulgrew Miller and a four-horn front line that is relentless. The jaunty opening number, "The Sum of All Parts," is a 5/4 African percussion-based piece led by Robin Eubanks with folded-in alto and trumpet and witty ...

Radiant Blue
$14.95
James Moody: James Moody (flute, tenor saxophone); Hank Jones (piano); Todd Coolman (bass instrument); Adam Nussbaum (drums, drum).
The combination of James Moody and Hank Jones, excepting a few minor instances, has not been documented since the 1963 Argo LP Great Day. So this match-up of two jazz giants, with a collective experience of some 170 years at the time of this recording, is long overdue and exceedingly welcome. Concentrating on the music of Dizzy Gillespie and Tadd Dameron, these living legends of mainstream bop and hard bop turn this stack of ...
