| | Lewis Porter Italian Encounter CD - Import Lewis Porter Discography of CDs
Anchored by a bold Italian rhythm section, famous New Jersey based pianist Lewis Porter renders this live recording in Siena, Italy with a lively glitter and amazing sense of assurance. Porter’s tones are zealous when performing; his phrases being weaved upon lines tinctured with much lyricism. The trio furrows through the seven cheery pieces via knotty transacted harmonies and chummily sound passages. On the “Wine Hoot”, Porter's bassist Furio Di Castri's drifting spaces endow contrastive items to pianist Porter's refined phrasings. Di Castri soars on “Wine Hot”. His measures are criminally rhythmic coupled with melodic staccatos and tinged with subtle shifts in direction. Sferra's clean-toned cymbal licks are sprawling with precision amid speedy and fluently elaborated lines. The seven cuts on the album define an amazing music style which incorporates many elements of Contemporary jazz. The music has a definite groove with a mix of high energy and dexterity.As an added plus, Porter's solo is remarkable on the standard “Body and Soul”. Infrequently, the band tempts us with some free territory, yet Porter-Di Castri-Sferra symbiotically sonorous encounters surmise an intuitive, bold relationship in this way. Hence, there are some splendid musical excursions enhanced by sympathetic musicianship which deserves to be listened to.Dr. Ana Isabel Ordonez, jazzreview.com Italian Encounter Music | Category | Jazz Albums | | Label | CD Baby | | CD Universe Part number | 7516758 | | Catalog number | 148874 | | Discs | 1 | | Release Date | Sep 04, 2007 |

| | David Mooney Luckless Pedestrian CD (2003)
Italian Encounter
$14.19
Luckless Pedestrian is the second guitar trio release by Davy Mooney. It features ten original compositions, including a more fleshed out version of the song "No More," which was recorded on 2002's release "In This Balance of Time" (also available at CD Baby). The track "Luckless Pedestrian" is a short, through composed piece, and leads into the longer explorations of "The Clover." "Stutter Step" is a blues in 7/4, inspired by the music of Steve Masakowski, and "Janey's Last West Coast Fling" is an uptempo romp through complex chord and meter changes. "Remember Me, Or I'll Remember You" and "Evans Heaven" are swingers, and the latter is a tribute to the great Bill Evans. "Waltz for September" is an uptempo waltz composed back in September of '99 while "The Evil Eye" is influenced by Brazilian MPB music. The final track, "The Long Walk", is a programmatic piece depicting the various shifts in mood and emotion that one could have experienced while wandering through antediluvian mid-city New Orleans. More about the artist:New York-based Jazz Guitarist Davy Mooney was born and raised in New Orleans, and spent the last two years working in the city of his birth with the Thelonious Monk Institute Septet.

| | Grover Washington, Jr Platinum Collection CD (2006) (Import) England; Remastered; Argentina
Italian Encounter
$10.49
Digitally remastered by Dan Hersch and Bill Inglot (DigiPrep).
Rhino in the U.K. issued this so-called Platinum Collection. It is a single disc of 13 tracks from Grover Washington, Jr.'s period with Elektra, beginning with 1980's Come Morning and running through 1984's Inside Moves, when he jumped ship for Columbia. There were certainly hit records during the period, "Winelight" being the biggest, and Washington's singles charted, but his albums had become lackluster and the compilers of this knew it, which is why there are cross-licensed tunes from other labels such as the smash duet with Bill Withers on the Ralph McDonald-penned "Just the Two of Us." Truth of the matter is, this is an exact copy of the WEA International compilation called Definitive Grover Washington, Jr.: The Elektra Years and the ...
