 (1 Customer Review)
Surprisingly, this Impulse album is the only recorded meeting between these two swing giants. Born just five years apart, Ellington and Hawkins led parallel lives through the swing era, but somehow never ended up in a recording studio together until this 1962 session. The pairing is certainly a good one that should have been repeated more often. Hawkins' famously robust tenor sax fits in seamlessly with Ellington and a small group of his top sidemen including Johnny Hodges, Harry Carney, and Ray Nance. These old pros work smoothly through a relaxed set of new and old Ellington compositions.

The sheer toughness -- and overall derivative -- nature of Killing Floor's debut album, issued six months after Led Zeppelin's debut in 1969 on the Spark label, is a wondrous contrast to the overly slick treatment American blues were given by British artists. All of these tunes, with the exception of one, are revamped versions of songs from the blues canon with ...

$19.79
The first solo album from Fleetwood Mac singer/songwriter Daniel David Kirwan has the future producer for Human League and Buzzcocks, Martin Rushent, utilizing those skills here, as well as engineering. The sound is crystal clear, and a feather in the cap for Rushent as well as Kirwan. It starts off with an uncharacteristic "Ram Jam City," which has more Lindsey Buckingham sounds than one would expect, especially since the two guitarists come from two different musical ...

Hurricane Katrina Survivor, Daniel Kemp, Releases Second CD – Voices“The night we knew Katrina would hit New Orleans was the night I sat down at my keyboard and recorded “Requiem for Orleans”.He stayed in New Orleans when most everyone else fled, working on his second CD when Hurricane Katrina hit. Voices, (which began as a follow-up to his debut CD Invocation), an ongoing tribute to the beauty and resplendence of the Night Sky, suddenly changed direction, literally in mid-creation.Voices evocatively tells the story of a life interrupted by disaster. Flowing instrumental sound-scapes, infused with Daniel’s own spoken-word readings from his best selling book, The Book of Night, incorporating angelic guest vocals by Mary Riley and Katja Mueller. Imagine the music of the stars, Voices is a collection of celestial symphonies punctuated by the influence of America’s most formidable catastrophe. A truly unique blending of classical and modern instrumentation, infused with old-school Progressive keyboards, haunting vocals and a dark, brooding undertone influenced by Daniel’s connection to the Dark Goddess.Imagine a dark forest under a starlit sky where the ghosts come to chant along in the distant field. And, then suddenly, the pastoral scene is washed away, and all that remains is the music.“It all comes down to sitting in front of my keyboard with my eyes closed...remembering the feeling of floating out amidst the stars. It was then and there I met what I call, The Lady, for the sky threw itself back at me. All of my music starts with that moment of remembrance, and then gets modified by the world at large.”“I desire to paint pictures with music…images filled with emotion.”Brief Bio; Daniel Kemp was born on Long Island, N.Y. in 1965, and currently resides Leesville, Louisiana. He started playing guitar in his teens, and in High School had various bands. They would play parties, local “Battle of the Band” shows, etc. He lost his taste for that after he had finally put together a really good band, and after their first rehearsal, their singer O.D.ed on drugs and alcohol and died playing chicken in traffic. That depressed him so much that he stopped playing with other people entirely. He did, however, start playing about with pianos ...

"Brilliant" -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer"Stunning" -- Victory Music"A Sure Winner" -- Sound Choice* * * * *DAVID PAUL MESLER is a genre-defying artist whose adventurous jazz band plays over 125 dates a year.

Virtuosic in the extreme, versatile in the extreme, and consistently inspired, David is now considered Northwest piano royalty and has been compared favorably to McCoy Tyner, Keith Jarrett, Cecil Taylor, Ahmad Jamal, Thelonius Monk, Oscar Peterson, Art Tatum, and Bud Powell.IN SPIRITU III is the final act in a dramatic free improv trilogy that uses Gregorian chant and spirituals as the jumping off point.
