Musique Noire is a classy group that can move in any musical direction with ease and grace. "~Peter Karoly, 360 Main Street"A very cool little project. . and one with a pretty funky feel at times too! . . .a variety of settings that almost recall some of the instrumental revolutions of the 80s -- kind of a space between Kronos Quartet and some of the more creative combos of the New York scene. "~Dusty Groove America". . .Musique Noire covers many miles of musical territory--from Latin to Moroccan, from funk to The Beatles. The group's debut disc, "Good Hair" dishes up diverse dialects all spoken through the language of jazz."~J.

This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.
Few jazz pianists could ever hope to rival the technical mastery of Art Tatum. From the 1930s on through the `50s, Tatum's dazzling facility made it seem as if two pianists were playing at once. Though he often performed solo, his virtuosity allowed him to make the transition from swing to bebop effortlessly. Tatum's eclectic style also reflected influences from blues and classical ...
| | Roy Hargrove Emergence CD (2009)
Good Hair album
$13.99
Trumpeter Roy Hargrove has been in some exotic musical environments in the past -- from his various quintets, quartets, his Afro-Cuban outfit Crisol, and his funk band the RH Factor, he's pretty much done it all. And while he's played in various big bands before, he's never led his own until now. Emergence on the Groovin' High imprint features a 19-member big band, playing a set of 11 standards and originals by Hargrove and bandmembers as well as a track written for the leader by none other than pianist Chucho Valds -- who doesn't appear here. The roots for this project go all the way back to 1995 when Hargrove formed a big band to play the New York Jazz Festival. The group went through many metamorphoses when he played a series of club and festival gigs over the intervening years. The set begins with "Velera," a tune written and arranged by Hargrove. It's a ballad in modal style with extended harmonies and a lovely textural palette. The composer employs restraint to bring forth his gorgeous melody. It's followed by "Ms. Garvey, Ms. Garvey," written and arranged by baritone saxophonist Jason Marshall. It quotes liberally from "Wade in the Water" and "Hit the Road Jack," but is a stomping, raucous blues in its own right with the wide chromatic and harmonic range of the brass section on full display, and contains a smoking solo break by Hargrove. Some of the standards that really shine are an unusually restrained and utterly elegant "My Funny Valentine" and the finger-popping "September ...

Good Hair songs
$17.15
Isabel Santol„The Love Recordings“ (ATS-records, Austria)Is there a musical work of art more perfect than the Great American Songbooks? Maybe so. But Isabel Santol loves these songs more than anything else – songs from the ‘20s, ‘30s and ‘40s. For decades, millions of others have loved these songs too, in which inspiration, poetry and artistry are wonderfully united. Songs which have plumbed the emotional depths of love for generations and which are still recognized as holding true, must be good. Whoever has loved, knows what lonesomeness, unfaithfulness, betrayal, secrecy and hate mean - but also joy, warmth, trust, parting, forgiveness and new beginnings. For millennia, these feelings and experiences have been a part of music. But that does not mean that Isabel Santol has to sing these songs like they have been sung for decades. In “Lover Man”, “That Old Feeling”, or “Darn That Dream”, when Isabel Santol sings these age-old feelings with heart and soul, she does not retain the old arrangements. Along with Heimo Trixner, guitarist, and Stephan ...
