| | David Slusser Trouble In Tiretown CD David Slusser Discography of CDs
David Slusser wrote all ten selections for this CD, utilizing an instrumentation that hints at the Ornette Coleman Quartet (substituting a second reed for Don Cherry's cornet) while adding a healthy dose of his wit and hints at earlier styles of jazz. "Jazzdeath," which is full of obvious song quotes and clichés, sounds as if the musicians are trying to kill jazz or at least satirize the hard bop revival of the 1980s, while other songs sometimes manage to be both inside and outside at the same time. The interaction between Slusser (who alternates between tenor, soprano, and bass clarinet) and Ralph Carney (alto and clarinet) is colorful and accessible even when at its most explorative, and more complex than it sounds when their music borders on Dixieland and circus music. Bassist Richard Saunders and drummer Chris Ackerman are subtle and stimulating, while guitarist Robert Zucker is an asset on the two songs on which he performs. All of the concise originals have stories behind them outlined in Slusser's well-written liner notes. There is no lack of spirit and joy to these performances; highly recommended. ~ Scott Yanow

Trouble In Tiretown CD music
$14.29 
Detroit comprises a six-composition suite commissioned for the 2009 thirtieth anniversary Detroit International Jazz Festival, played in the studio with musicians from composer/arranger Gerald Wilson's Los Angeles home or New York City area. Curiously, there are no Motor City-based players on the disc, but the themes are based in certain locales from the industrial Midwestern City that has fallen on hard economic times but played a pivotal role in the development of Wilson's highly developed skills as a composer, arranger, and bandleader. A quite spirited and energetic music is heard here from the 90-year-old Wilson, whose charm and ...

| | Michael Buble It's Time CD (2005)
Trouble In Tiretown songs
$10.05
Michael Buble's third major US release (including the mostly live COME FLY WITH ME) stays on message--this young Canadian loves the lush, swaying music of his parents' and grandparents' generations. Buble's albums, however, are much more than mere back-in-the-day exercises. The production and arranging of David Foster (Celine Dion, Josh Groban) is eclectic in a way that firmly places the tunes at the dawn of the 21st century, and, more importantly, Buble possesses the chops and sense of style to re-imagine the adult-contemporary vocal genre in a distinctive manner. In addition to standards by Gershwin and Porter, Buble embraces a variety of sounds, from Motown ("How Sweet It Is") to bossa nova ("Quando, Quando, ...

Trouble In Tiretown songs
$16.55
Historically, jazz has been big-city music. Jazz started in New Orleans and went on to flourish in a variety of cities -- everywhere from Boston to Los Angeles to Stockholm to Rio de Janeiro. And contrary to what the "Manhattan jazz police" would have listeners believe, New York has never had the market cornered on talented improvisers. But it is safe to say that big cities in general have dominated jazz. So how do you explain the fact that so much of the jazz that guitarist Bruce Dunlap provides on his debut album, About Home, is inspired by nature and employs rural imagery? It's quite simple: jazz artists play by their own rules, and Dunlap's jazz (which incorporates elements of pop, rock, and Brazilian music) just happens to be mindful of nature. While another improviser will find beauty in Chicago's Lake Shore Drive or the London skyline, Dunlap might find it in the Grand Canyon -- and there's nothing wrong with that. If you equate nature with peace and quiet, that would explain why Dunlap's playing is as lyrical, airy, and reflective as it is on this fusion/crossover CD. Pat Metheny (who can also be quite lyrical) is a definite influence, but Dunlap is his own man. And even though Dunlap favors an understated, subtle approach, he is still a substantial player -- for Dunlap, subtle and understated don't mean wimpy or gutless. Of course, a guitarist doesn't have to be nature-minded to come out with an album as lyrical as About Home; a guitarist could live right ...
