"Highly Recommended." - Signal to Noise"One of our all-time favorites." - Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra"A much-needed blast of joy! Highly habit-forming..." - The Village Voice"Great band. See them. Period." - Steven Bernstein, Sex MobFounded by trumpeter and composer Jordan McLean, Fire Of Space features a raucous four-horn front line familiar with fans of the Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra - McLean on trumpet, trombonist Aaron Johnson and reedsmen Stuart Bogie and Michael Herbst - with the astonishing rhythm section of keyboardist Shoko Nagai, bassist Tom Abbs and percussionist Geoff Mann, mainstays of the New York City improvised music scene.Collectively, members of Fire of Space have toured and/or recorded with a wide range of artists, including the Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra, William Parker's Little Huey Creative Orchestra, Steven Bernstein's Sex Mob, Cooper Moore, Ori Kaplan, Borah Bergman, Daniel Carter, Roots Combination, the live drum and bass outfit Droid, Dub Is A Weapon, Fu-Arkist-Ra, and Medeski, Martin & Wood. Inspired by sources ranging from Sun Ra to marching bands to traditional musics from Eastern Europe and India, Fire of Space is no stranger to adventure. A band of high-energy and sometimes unruly improvisers, Fire of Space can turn on a dime and take off in any number of directions.Having cut their teeth in New York City venues such as The Pink Pony, ABC No Rio, Galapagos, The Brecht Forum, Tonic, and The Knitting Factory -- as well as galleries, pirate radio station Free 103, and the apartments of numerous friends -- Fire Of Space is taking it national with a definitive and unshakable vibration.Fire Of Space is a member of JumpArts, a coalition founded and directed by bassist Tom Abbs. Since its inception, JumpArts has produced more than two hundred and fifty concerts and workshops throughout New York City, and was named "Best Art Collective" by The New York Press in 2002.

The title of Will Downing's 2009 effort, CLASSIQUE, produced by the artist and Rex Rideout, may be a bit misleading: it is not a compilation but a brand-spanking new collection of contemporary jazz-inflected R&B--in other words, classic Downing. The album's ...

Switzerland-born singer Susanne Abbuehl studied with the influential vocalist Jeanne Lee (1939-2000) while attending the Royal Conservatory of the Hague, amidst her wholehearted interest in North Indian classical music. On her first release for ECM, Abbuehl and her fellow European musicians render an often thought-provoking program, augmented by the infamous "ECM aesthetic." However, the thrust of this outing emanates from the vocalist's incorporation of e.e. cummings' poems set to ...
| | Bill Evans Complete Quartet Recordings CD (2005) (Import) Japan; Mini LP Sleeve; France
Handbasket songs
$13.15
THE COMPLETE QUARTET RECORDINGS pair up Bill Evans and Eddie Costs with Miles Davis, Paul Motian, and more.
This Lone Hill Jazz compilation is a bit misleading. Though Bill Evans and Eddie Costa are present on every track, this CD actually consists of the complete contents of his album Guys and Dolls Like Vibes plus one track from Michel Legrand's Legrand Jazz. The Frank Loesser songs chosen from his Broadway musical Guys and Dolls (a fairly recent hit at the time of these 1958 sessions) are fertile ground for Costa (who sticks to vibes, though he was also a good pianist) and Evans. Their logical improvisations on these catchy melodies, several of which became popular vehicles for jazz musicians and singers, feature both men equally, backed by the superb team of bassist Wendell Marshall and drummer Paul Motian. One can feel the chemistry in the swinging take of "Guys and Dolls," the moving ballad "Adelaide" (an overlooked gem from the show) and the explosive take of "If I Were a Bell" (the latter which Evans would record later that year with Miles Davis, who had covered the piece in 1956 as well). But it is the wild rhythmic approach to "Luck Be a Lady" that proves to be the most unusual arrangement of the Loesser material. On the sole track from Legrand Jazz, Miles Davis is the featured soloist in John Lewis' "Django," with Costa and Evans relegated to the background, along ...
