This studio session featuring the duo of cornetist/fluegelhornist Warren Vache and pianist Bill Charlap deserves to rank alongside nearly any similar date recorded during the last two decades of the 20th century. Vache has been overlooked by far too many critics (which even Wynton Marsalis acknowledged in print); while Charlap has had a little easier time with the exposure he has received as a member of the Phil Woods Quintet and recording as a leader for Blue Note. Vache's lyricism come through, whether utilizing a mute, as on the foot patting "If I Should Lose You" or a swinging "You and the Night and the Music," or with the open horn, especially in the warm rendition of "Easy Living." Charlap not only proves himself an incredible accompanist, but that he has a sense of humor, too, especially with his lush introduction to Duke Ellington's "Prelude to a Kiss," which briefly detours into Thelonious Monk's "'Round Midnight." Although the emphasis is primarily on standards, "Nip-Hoc Waltz" (an homage to Chopin) and "Etude" (which features Vache unaccompanied) are two fine examples of Charlap's considerable abilities as a composer. Sadly, the liner notes stick to separate biographies of each musician and don't explain what prompted them to work together. This very entertaining date will stand up very well to repeated listening. ~ Ken Dryden

Recorded on December 13 & 14, 2000. Includes liner notes by Frank Nagel-Heyer.

Personnel includes: Warren Vache (trumpet, cornet); Bill Charlap (piano).

Down Beat (10/01, p.77) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...A lesson in the timelessness of jazz, its rich vocab and the communicative sensitivity of its practitioners..."

4 stars Great Duo Effort!
This whole CD is good. Each musician compliments the other time after time on every cut.

5 stars Impressive, a modern masterpiece of trumpet-piano duo
This is a pre-bop album, and I usually do not like pre-bop jazz, but this album is remarkably elegant, sophisticated, soft, subtle, and I never thought an Armstrong-toned trumpeter could be so intimate. It is a superb album, among the best trumpet-piano duos currently available (if you like this kind of duos take a listen to the impressive Rava & Bollani as well)

5 stars better than Larkin/Braff?
The penguin guide gives this a royal crown. I see no reason to disagree. Saying that Charlap is 'wise beyond his years' is cliche at this point. Let's just all agree - he's spectacular, regardless of seniority. Every tune's a winner. This is the best rhythmless documentation... perhaps ever.

Back To The Roots
John Mayall Back To The Roots CDs  (1971) Bonus Tracks; Remastered

2gether CD music
CD $19.85  4.6 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
This reissue contains tracks from the original 2LP release BACK TO THE ROOTS as well as 8 remixes from the ARCHIVES TO EIGHTIES. Digitally remastered by Suha Gur (Universal Mastering Studios-East). It's a sign of either how far downhill music has gone in 30 years, or how underrated he was as a singer in the first place, but John Mayall's voice comes off extremely well in this long-delayed CD reissue of Back to the Roots. The original double-LP set was an immediate favorite with Mayall fans, a relatively small but hardy bunch scattered around the globe -- but Polydor in the U.S., apparently anticipating a lot of demand (probably owing to the presence on the album of Eric Clapton and Mick Taylor, then in the first flush of major stardom as a full-fledged member of the Rolling Stones, who had just reached the pinnacle of their careers as well), pressed far too many copies. The result was that it became a perennial in cut-out bins for years afterward. Ironically, it was that availability, at $1.99 to $3.99 in the early '70s -- which did nothing for Mayall's or Polydor's respective ledger sheets -- that turned Back to the Roots into the second-most-common way for prospective fans to discover the man's music (the most common was -- and likely always will be -- Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton). The recording at hand holds up extremely well on CD, and not only because Mayall's voice seems more appealing today than it did in 1971. At least in the U.S., the original release always seemed to suffer from cheap, noisy pressings, which detracted from the subtlety of the playing; and depend upon in, on tracks like "Accidental Suicide," which featured Clapton, Taylor, and Harvey Mandel on lead guitar (not to mention Mayall on rhythm ...

For once, a band's popularity grew commensurate with its maturation. Despite the heightened attention, singer/songwriter/guitarist Ben Gibbard next let loose Death Cab for Cutie's finest moment, "Photobooth," the lead track on the sparkling Forbidden Love EP. New fans worldwide swooned under its beguiling romantic rise 'n' fall and its lingering, bittersweet, wallet-sized artifact. And though it wouldn't have ...
