| | Champian Fulton Champian CD Champian Fulton Discography of CDs
Singer/pianist Champian Fulton makes an impressive debut with David Berger and the Sultans of Swing in this collection of time-tested standards, many of which have unjustly fallen out of favor. Fulton is gifted with an expressive voice, clear diction, and a great sense of rhythm, while Berger's arrangements provide perfect accompaniment. "I Didn't Mean a Word I Said" is a laconic ballad, but Fulton injects a bit of sass into it, even though singing pretty close to the melody. It is refreshing to hear a singer sing show tunes with the verse intact, which set up a song, but are all too frequently omitted when performed outside the context of a musical. Her playful side comes through in the driving take of "Just One of Those Things," following trombonist Ryan Keberle's half chorus with a bit of Ella Fitzgerald-like scat. The band's loopy setup of "I Can't Give You Anything But Love" adds an old-fashioned male vocal chorus to back Fulton plus a few humorous asides to update the vintage lyrics, along with an amusing narrative by Matt Hong. Fulton delights in "Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens," a jive song associated with Louis Jordan. She moves to the piano for an intimate duet with bassist Dennis Irwin, accompanying herself in "You Turned the Tables on Me" and "Never-the-Less" (the latter a solo effort by Fulton). Champian Fulton will clearly be one to watch on the jazz scene. ~ Ken Dryden

Russell Malone's second CD for Maxjazz Live at Jazz Standard, Vol. 1 has a bit of a harder edge then Playground, his first session for the label. Well accompanied by pianist Martin Bejerano, bassist Tassili Bond and drummer Jonathan Blake on this live performances at the Jazz Standard, the guitarist focuses mostly on his challenging originals. "I Saw You Do It" is a marvelous example, an intricate, boundary stretching affair that is essentially a blues intermingled with post-bop and a touch of dissonance, ...

| | Charles Tolliver Big Band Emperor March: Live At The Blue Note CD (2009)
Champian
$13.45
After recording a number of albums during the 1960s and '70s, trumpeter Charles Tolliver waited nearly two decades to record as a leader before he released his striking big-band date With Love in 2007. This 2009 release, recorded live at the Blue Note, is a potent follow-up, though with substantial changes in personnel. His exotic, dramatic "On the Nile" might suggest the influence of McCoy Tyner's works of the '70s, though it was premiered in 1965 by Jackie McLean and previously recorded by its composer in a big-band setting a few years later. This updated version showcases tenorist Marcus Strickland, pianist Stanley Cowell, and the leader in a fiery performance. Tolliver's imaginative scoring of brass and reeds in his "Emperor March," makes it a hip tune that begins as a march but detours into several different avenues, featuring potent ...

Champian
$12.89
She's back after almost 3 years since her last album and better than ever. Her sixth release from Groove Note, Jacintha Goes To Hollywood, sees the sensual and seductive voiced chanteuse take on some of the theme tunes and other songs used in the movies.

Let's face it: most people who are not seasoned jazz listeners aren't going to comprehend someone as challenging as the late Betty Carter. The best way to get people who are "jazzophobic" to start listening to vocal jazz is to expose them to artists who are quite accessible but still have taste and integrity -- people like Jacintha, whose Jacintha Goes to Hollywood is a perfect example of a jazz vocal disc that is very easy to absorb even if one isn't a seasoned jazz listener. This 2007 recording finds the Singapore native turning her attention to songs that were heard in well-known films, and her torchy, understated approach serves her well on material ranging from the Mamas & the Papas' "California Dreaming" (a '60s smash that was heard in the 1995 film Chung King Express) to the Doris Day-associated "Que ...

| | Brent Jensen One More Mile CD (2007) (Import)
Champian
$14.59
For his fifth Origin release, Brent Jensen includes some of the main Origin stable stars as members of his quartet, which shows off some impressive sensitivity to the music, with both classic pieces and new compositions from the bandmembers. Jensen continues his trademark relaxed sound on the soprano sax, pulling just the right notes out where he wants them. Drummer John Bishop largely stays in the background, but can come forward as called for by the tune (an excellent solo in the improvisational "Punt" shows this off, as well as an outstanding bass solo from Jeff Johnson). Pianist Bill Anschell becomes one of the stars here early, both from his own exceptional playing and his arrangements of a few classics. Aside from Jensen's Idaho heritage, this is Seattle jazz at ...
| | Yungchen Lhamo Tibet Tibet CD (1996)
Champian
$12.85
Largely a cappella, songs such as "Lama Dorje Chang" and "Par Panee Dawa Shar" bring to life the ancient song style of the Tibetan people. On these selections, Lhamo uses beautiful pentatonic movements and difficult intervallic leaps to create beautiful, longing melodies. Other tracks such as "Om Mani Padme Hung," and "Refuge Prayer" are more solemn. These ritualistic chants, performed with an ensemble of monks from the Drepung Ngakpa Monastery ...
