A very nice digital reissue of a very congenial and nicely played Coleman Hawkins Quartet release. Not always the most compelling title from the Hawkins catalog, the record at least has the virtue of both being listenable and worthy of somewhat deeper inspection. ~ Steven McDonald
Coleman Hawkins recorded three sessions for Impulse Records in the early to mid '60's. Of the three, TODAY AND NOW is the most compelling. The unusual choice of repertoire is what sets this album apart. Versions of the traditional song "Go Li'l Liza" and the fairly obscure Quincy Jones ballad "Quintessence" are creatively rendered. Indeed, Hawk seems inspired throughout; he plays with an abandon that is altogether effortless.
Moreover, his band (consisting of pianist Tommy Flanagan, bass player Major Holley, and drummer Eddie Locke) backs the tenor king up with a similar imaginative approach. A largely impromptu session, each song develops and evolves with each chorus. The Bean's (one of Hawkins' nicknames) interplay with Flanagan on the mid-tempo swinger, "Swingin' Scotch" is the album's highlight. Indeed, this is one of Hawkins' last great records.Q (12/96, p.154) - 3 Stars (out of 5) - "...Hawk's sound still seems huge with little effort, his notes as wide and looming as thunderclouds...a good quartet featuring the all-but-psychic piano of Tommy Flanagan, and the repertoire is ostensibly folksy...but casually transformed by Hawkins' sonorous purr..."

Stunningly repackaged, remastered, and featuring new liner notes by leading jazz writers, the Warner Jazz Masters Series includes best sellers as well as rare, sought-after gems. On this highly influential 1959 album, Ornette Coleman's unique writing style and solo language forever changed the jazz landscape. On classics such as "Lonely Woman," "Congeniality," and "Focus on Sanity," Coleman used the tunes' moods and melodic contours, rather than their chords, as a basis for his improvisations. This is truly an essential jazz recording, marking the end of one era, providing the blueprint for the next.

THINGS HEARD UNHEARD is the first recording by Brian Willson as a leader. This recording is a combination of completely free improvisation and composed pieces: nothing written, but discussion of the nature of the work to be performed. Influenced by free jazz of the 60's, world music, and contemporary, Willson fuses these elements into a diverse amalgam of improvised music - some pieces are classic free piano, bass and drums, evidence of the strong Cecil Taylor influence abounds, others are evocative of Eastern culture utilizing sounds and instruments particular to Tibet, Japan and China, evoking images of Buddhist ritual. Brian had played with Yuko and Dom individually and they enjoyed a long friendship collectively, but this was the first musical meeting of this trio of gifted musicians. The recording is a culmination of years of performing for Brian Willson- he has traveled from rock and roll to jazz to club dates to oldies bands to Broadway shows to contemporary music. He is an accomplished performer in both the jazz and classical worlds, and an ardent improviser. After touring the world as percussionist and musical director with several Broadway shows he has dedicated his musical pursuits to jazz drumming, improvisation, conducting contemporary music, and performing and touring as Assistant Conductor with the Brooklyn College Percussion Ensemble. He recently recorded a series of duets with Pauline Oliveros, AS IT IS and a DVD of improvised music called JUST PLAYIN'. He is co-leader of a straight ahead jazz quartet, The Salim Washington - Brian Willson Quartet.Mr. Willson began improvising circa 1977 after hearing Sun Ra and his Arkestra in Chicago. Yuko Fujiyama is a native of Sapporo, Japan, where she studied and majored in classical music. In the mid-80's, upon being moved by the music of pianist Cecil Taylor, she moved ...

Today And Now
$9.89
This project began in 2004 when Damon Albarn & Simon Tong travelled to Nigeria to record with Afrobeat pioneer Tony Allen. Much later, Albarn gave the tapes to producer Brian "Danger Mouse" Burton & his attitude changed, feeling like he would just write the songs but not sing. Danger Mouse helped gel the project and Albarn just wanted to write tales of West London. The final collaborator was Clash bassist Paul Simonon, whose presence changed the whole dynamic. The result is a record that traces a journey from the English music hall tradition over to West Africa for Afrobeat, zigzagging through the West Indies and its reggae and dub, back to England and London's punk scene, all the while taking in a strand of British beat music from the '50s right through to Britpop. A very English record, the title refers to a saying in the area that is another way of saying "this is about today, this is about the present". A heartfelt tribute to London.
The Good, the Bad & the Queen: Paul Simonon (bass guitar); Damon Albarn, Simon Tong, Tony Allen .
Personnel: Damon Albarn (vocals, keyboards); Simon Tong (guitar); Antonia Pagulatos, Alice Pratley, Gillon Cameron, Sally Jackson (violin); Emma Owens, Stella Page, Amanda Drummond (viola); Izzi Dunn (cello); Danger Mouse (synthesizer, percussion); Al Mobbs, Emma Smith (double bass); Tony Allen (drums); James Dring (programming); Paul Simonon (background vocals).
Additional personnel: Danger Mouse.

Recording information: Studio 13 (04/28/2005-10/05/2005).
Photographer: Pennie Smith.
Expectations run supremely high for a group like The Good, The Bad & The Queen. In addition to being Damon Albarn's first project since the Gorillaz, the GB&Q are also quite the super group, with Clash bassist Paul Simonon, Verve guitarist Simon Tong, and legendary drummer Tony Allen--the man who put the beat in Afrobeat--rounding out the line-up. Adding to this stellar cast is producer/DJ Danger Mouse, who mans the boards and twists the knobs.
The group's 2007 self-titled debut is supremely well-crafted, featuring deeply layered electronic textures that recall the Gorillaz at their most atmospheric and warp the propulsive piano and guitar lines in a playfully foreboding manner. And while Allen doesn't exactly ...
