Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Excellent Savoy recording by Gryce
I first heard Gigi Gryce as a sideman,arranger or co-leader on other artist's records. Like Benny Golson, he is perhaps recognized more as a composer/arranger, but like Benny, that does'nt mean he can't blow. His own version of his classic original composition "Nica's tempo" is the best I've heard. Even better than the one with Donald Byrd on the Jazz Lab record. It is truly one of the greatest and most unique jazz compositions of the period- ingenious. This cd contains 3 different bands all with Gryce on alto recorded in 1955 by Rudy Van Gelder. 4 are with a quartet which features Thelonious Monk on piano, they complement each other perfectly. Then there are some with a larger ensemble, and a couple tracks with vocalist Ernestine Andrews. This makes for a shift in continuity and once you hear the tracks with Monk, you'll wish there were more. But the title track alone makes the disc worth having. The arrangements and playing on the nonet tracks is still to a high standard. Throughout, gigi's alto playing is articulate. The mono recording quality is good and the digital transfer is clean, with maybe a few clicks here and there which indicate it might have received some type of noise removal process (CEDAR?). This disc belongs in any jazz lover's collection.

Bebel Gilberto All In One CD  (2009)

Nica's Tempo MP3 Album
CD $12.05  Top 100 Audio Samples (MP3 Available for Download)
With ALL IN ONE, Bebel Gilberto made her home at Verve, which is not just an auspicious label for music but also the home of some of the best Brazilian records of all time--by Antonio Carlos Jobim, Astrud Gilberto (who is no relation, although she was married to Bebel's father before Bebel's birth), Stan Getz, and, of course, her father, Joao Gilberto. It's obvious Gilberto is well aware of this: the cover is reminiscent of an Astrud Gilberto album and she sings a version of "Bim Bom," which was written by her father and is known popularly for Astrud's version (what's more, it features the piano work of Brazilian royalty Dan Jobim). Still, it's clear Bebel Gilberto knows where to draw the line, and ALL IN ONE is defined more by her songs and her collaborators than the weight of Brazilian musical history that she must carry. Multi-percussionist Carlinhos Brown gets the most instrument credits (his kit bag must weigh a ton), and his string of percussion instruments brings a rich texture to every song he graces. (He also co-wrote the best new songs, "Nossa Senhora" and "Ela [On My Way].") Also appearing is superstar producer Mark Ronson for the single "The Real Thing," a song whose history hits a sweet spot here--Stevie Wonder originally wrote it in the late '70s for Sergio Mendes & Brasil '77. Ronson takes the song back to Wonder's Motown roots, also quoting from Saint Etienne's vibrant update of classic soul production. Gilberto sounds most confident elsewhere, however, especially on her own songs and when she's singing in Portuguese. (Didi Gutman from Brazilian Girls also helps out, as does the Dust Brothers' John King.) Despite the large cast, ALL IN ONE is a remarkably unified record; no one makes a larger impact here than ...
