| | Chick Corea The New Crystal Silence CD Chick Corea Discography of CDs
One of the most beautiful jazz discs of the 1970s remains CRYSTAL SILENCE, a 1972 collection of inspired, melodious duets by vibraphonist Gary Burton and pianist Chick Corea. In 2007, the two masters revisited their earlier triumph with the two-disc THE NEW CRYSTAL SILENCE. Disc one finds the duo in an orchestral setting, recorded live in Australia with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. While performing with a full orchestra might seem to defeat the purpose of a duet, it works out remarkably well. Since the `60s, both Burton and Corea have been crossover/fusion experts, and the subtle, well-thought-out arrangements accent the duo's playing, never competing with or overwhelming it. Disc two is just the two fellows swinging some Corea gems and a few standards. The pianist's bebop-flavored jabs dart happily through and around Burton's sparkling, crystalline lyricism. This is lovely stuff throughout--witty and heartfelt, creative yet accessible.
Personnel: Sydney Symphony Orchestra.
Down Beat (p.77) - 4.5 stars out of 5 -- "Corea and Burton communicate at rarefied levels of technique and imagination through five Corea originals and three standards. Both deploy their massive gestural arsenals without inhibition..."
JazzTimes (p.83) - "What has always made this duo magical comes flooding back with 'Bud Powell,' the opening track....They spontaneously intertwine complex ideas at high speed, responding to one another with the reflexes of superstar athletes
Mojo (Publisher) (p.111) - 5 stars out of 5 -- "Tim Garland's symphonic arrangements, recorded at the Sydney Opera House, coax the understated exhilaration of Corea/Burton favourites like 'La Fiesta' and 'Crystal Silence' to explode into heart-racing, widescreen drama."
Record Collector (magazine) (p.92) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[I] convincingly demonstrates that the passing years have not diminished or dulled Corea and Burton's respective musical imaginations. Sensational stuff." The New Crystal Silence Music Chick Corea The New Crystal Silence Songs The New Crystal Silence Review

Whether that song is the opening moment of Standards, Vol. 1, "Meaning of the Blues," or its hinge piece, "It Never Entered My Mind," or the latter two selections on Standards, Vol. 2, "If I Should Lose You" and "I Fall in Love Too Easily," the effect is the same: these three men can swing as hard as anybody, but they also investigate harmonically, rhythmically, and intuitively the far more subtle aspects these tunes offer as possibilities. Check the intros to both discs for more proof. Another compelling argument is that, given when these recordings were made, when jazz had entered its most reactionary period with the new conservatives like Wynton Marsalis rising in the wake of the backlash against the vanguard of the 1970s and more electrified current of jazz-funk and later smooth jazz, the records of this trio offered another ...

CHELSEA PALERMOMany nine-year-old girls have musical idols. However, very few are also gifted with perfect pitch, and possess a burning desire to follow in the footsteps of their idols. Chelsea Palermo is anything but ordinary. As a little girl, gifted jazz vocalist Chelsea Palermo, was fascinated and inspired by a legend: Ella Fitzgerald. New Jersey native Chelsea Palermo is only 22 years old, but she is already a seasoned performer and interpreter. While she listened to Janet Jackson and Mariah Carey as enthusiastically as her friends, Palermo never saw anything unusual about adoring Ella Fitzgerald at such a young age. “When I was a kid, I was drawn to the energy of pop music and R&B—and I always will be,” Palermo said recently, “However, I also appreciated the sophistication and nuance of jazz—and I always wished I could share that with my friends.”Today, as Palermo celebrates the release of her debut studio recording, “All About Love,” she is hoping to do just that: to use her fresh, energetic take on the standards to help bring jazz to a whole new generation. Her renditions of some of the greatest works in the American songbook are entirely unique—noted as much for the maturity of their execution as for the youth and vibrancy they display. Not many artists who tackle “My Funny Valentine” have a genuine appreciation for Gwen Stefani. Palermo already shows signs of making her leap successfully. Training with renowned vocal coach, Gwen Moten, who has trained stars like Janet Jackson, Chelsea’s repertoire has reached an unbelievable 200 songs. Now, after years of studying Ella Fitzgerald and Louie Armstrong, it should come as no surprise that this young ...
