| | Michel Camilo Spirit Of The Moment Super-Audio CD Michel Camilo Discography of CDs
This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.
After 20 years of developing his chops as a trio player, pianist Michel Camilo took a few years off to do other things -- a solo album titled Solo and a lovely orchestral homage to George Gershwin were two results of that break. With Spirit of the Moment he returns to the trio format, and he sounds refreshed and happy to be back. As always, his style is powerfully energetic and at times ideas seem to be flying out from under his fingers almost more quickly than he can fully process them. But with the help of a crack rhythm team (drummer Dafnis Prieto and bassist Charles Flores), he manages to keep his feet on the ground and generate lots of inspiring moments. Notable among them are an all-too-brief rendition of the John Coltrane classic "Giant Steps" that sounds almost like "Flight of the Bumblebee," a lovely version of Wayne Shorter's "Nefertiti," and the aptly titled "Hurry Up and Wait," a jittery and edgy uptempo original with a Latin feel. Despite his obvious affinity for faster material, Camilo also shines on the ballads: he delivers sweetly lyrical renditions of "My Secret Place" and "A Place in Time," both of them originals. Highly recommended. ~ Rick Anderson
Personnel: Michel Camilo (piano); Charles Flores (double bass); Dafnis Prieto (drums).JazzTimes (p.96) - "'Solar (Explorations)' is just that, a collective deconstruction of the Davis piece, simultaneously altered and enhanced." **Super Audio CD (SACD)**

Spirit Of The Moment album
 $16.05  
This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.
ILLUMINATIONS finds McCoy Tyner, some 40 years after his best-known work (as a member of John Coltrane's legendary early-1960s quartet), still kicking. Tyner's energies as a session leader, composer, and ever-progressive musician haven't flagged since the mid-'60's, when the pianist started heading his own dates. On this 2004 album, as per usual, Tyner has surrounded himself with some of the finest personnel in jazz, including bassist Christian McBride, sax player ...

GERSHWIN'S WORLD won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Performance, Individual Or Group. "St. Louis Blues" won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance and Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocal(s).
This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.
The epitome of a 20th Century musician, Herbie Hancock has always traversed wildly divergent stylistic paths, finding his way easily into jazz, funk, fusion, dance-pop and more. His ability to make valid individual statements in all these genres is part of what makes his compositions and performances so rich. So it doesn't seem at all incongrous for Hancock to interpret the work of George Gershwin, redefining much of the Gershwin canon in the process (with assistance from some world-class compatriots). Hancock's stated aim for GERSHWIN'S WORLD is to get inside the pieces, illustrating their essence ...

| | Mark Knopfler Sailing To Philadelphia CDs (2000) includes bonus DVD
Spirit Of The Moment songs
$21.35
Having crafted such a singular sound for himself both in Dire Straits and as a respected film composer, it's gratifying to hear that Mark Knopfler's consummate musicianship has only gotten better on what is only his second solo album in a career that began in the mid- '70s. For SAILING TO PHILADELPHIA, Knopfler once again looks to America for inspiration, starting with the stirring title track that draws from Thomas Pynchon's fictionalized account of English adventurers/surveyors Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon and which finds James Taylor playing Mason to Knopfler's Dixon. Other numbers benefiting from this American muse are the ethereal "Sands of Nevada," the Farfisa-driven "Do America" and the low-key "Prairie Wedding" (featuring alt country stalwarts Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, who also appear on the chugging "Speedway At Nazareth").
Elsewhere, Knopfler entertains a host of famous friends throughout a slew of tasty tracks. Van Morrison duets on the laid-back "The Last Laugh" while ...

| | Bill Cunliffe Live At Bernie's CD (2001)
Spirit Of The Moment songs
$21.05
This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.
Bill Cunliffe has long been one of Los Angeles' top jazz pianists. His modern mainstream style is flexible (he can play in idioms ranging from swing to fusion), he has his own voice within the tradition, and he is an underrated composer. On Live at Bernie's, Cunliffe performs four standards, three of his own originals, and three obscurities, swinging all the way. He is teamed with bassist Darek Oles and drummer Joe Labarbera, both of whom have also played in a countless number of settings in the L.A. area. The trio works closely together, often seeming to think as one. Among the highlights are a slightly ...
