| | Fieldwork Door CD Fieldwork Discography of CDs
Fieldwork is a cutting-edge jazz trio consisting of pianist Vijay Iyer, alto saxophonist Steve Lehman, and percussionist Tyshawn Sorey. Their approach is playing thorny, complex jazz with the precision of a classical ensemble and the gusto of a rock band. While each musician is highly talented, no one player dominates--DOOR is truly a collaborative effort. It's an intricate but ultimately rewarding challenge to hear just where composition leaves off and inspired improvisation begins, in a zone somewhere between the pensive reserve of Paul Bley and the abandon of Cecil Taylor.
Fieldwork: Steve Lehman (alto saxophone); Vijay Iyer (piano); Tyshawn Sorey (drums).
Down Beat (p.71) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "This music is mercilessly intelligent, but it's balanced by a think-fast fleetness. With every new permutation, dynamic shift or retrenchment, the listener almost expects the group to stumble or hit a wall. It never happens."
JazzTimes (pp.100-101) - "Tension and suspense are two key qualities on DOOR....An engaging and important release....The deep-seated rapport continues through the album..."
Signal To Noise (magazine) (p.48) - "DOOR is serious contemporary jazz that demands a space of its own, preferably a very dark one, so that the listener can actively engage with its compositions." Fieldwork Door Songs | 1. | Of |

Purchase Door CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Erik Friedlander Quake CD (2003)
Door album
 $14.59 
On Quake, downtown cello boss Erik Friedlander teams up with Japan's fraternal rhythm section the Takeishi brothers (Stomu and Satoshi on bass and drums, respectively) as well as alto saxophonist Andy Laster for a date of intimate, knotty new jazz. In working with an electric bassist in this setting, the opportunities for unique tonalities are everywhere and are exploited to some degree as they were on an earlier work, The Watchman. Over the years, however, Friedlander has become a composer of interesting ensembles and Quake's is no exception. What is so remarkable ...

Door music CDs
$11.99
There will be those fans of Tennessee tenor saxophonist Wallace who may hear this as an anomalous aside in his career of playing mostly progressive modern jazz. Others may view it a logical step, a concept album dedicated to the music of George Gershwin. What this reviewer finds fascinating about it is that Wallace plays so flexibly within the melodic intent of these well-worn lines, yet always finds a way to make them all his own. There's a certain restraint, and the simple approach is more refined due to the centered focus provided by the always brilliant pianist Mulgrew Miller, rock-solid bassist Peter Washington, and witty drummer Yoron Israel.
Miller's attention-grabbling persona is most clearly present on his arpeggiated intros of the warm waltz take on "Who Cares?" and the mad love-tinged ballad "I Loves You Porgy." Songs such as the ballad version of "How Long Has This Been Going On?" and the easy swing of "The Man I Love" seem like sleepwalking, when in fact these expert musicians can easily play them with effortless elegance. Wallace evokes sonic images of the masters with similar aplomb; he uses wonderful Coleman ...

Javier Alexander, cantautor y ministro de música de la Iglesia "Gracia y Verdad" del GulfStream Baptist Association en Hollywood, Florida, presenta su primera producción titulada "Te Doy Gracias". Precedido por una amplia experiencia en el ámbito musical, este joven salmista introduce una personal y fresca propuesta de alabanza y adoración contemporánea, que exhorta con sus letras a glorificar el nombre de Dios. Con grandes expectativas este cantautor venezolano se une al sello de A & H Records de Alpha and Harvest, que con gran éxito ha representado a los ministerios de Shanna, Perucho, AnÃbal Mercado, Vanessa Campanella, y los recién nominados al Premio Latin Grammy como Mejor Ãlbum de Música Cristiana, el grupo Blest.
