| | Ted Nash Sidewalk Meeting CD - Import Ted Nash Discography of CDs
With Sidewalk Meeting, saxophonist Ted Nash premieres a new, highly unconventional group called Odeon. Nash, playing saxophones and clarinets, is joined by Wycliffe Gordon on trombone and sousaphone, Miri Ben-Ari on violin, Jeff Ballard and Matt Wilson on drums, and Bill Schimmel on accordion. The absence of bass -- Gordon fills in the bottom with his sousaphone as much as he can -- makes Odeon far from your ordinary jazz group, although jazz improvisation is mainly what informs the band's approach to repertoire. Nash opens with his arrangement of Claude Debussy's "Premier Rhapsody" and makes it sound like Duke Ellington. Schimmel gets his accordion to sound like a full big-band saxophone section, a feat he also accomplishes during the groovy "Jump Line." Gordon often goes for maximum effect on the wah trombone, particularly with his intro to "Sidewalk Meeting (I)," which evolves into a beautiful folk song for bass clarinet, trombone, and violin. "Sidewalk Meeting (II)" closes the album with the same melody, but hyped up to a jamboree tempo. Nash also mixes up the instrumentation with "Reverie," a masterful clarinet/accordion duet, and Thelonious Monk's "Bemsha Swing," a jam-style foray for tenor sax, sousaphone, and drums. Odeon seamlessly integrates the different sides of Nash's musical personality (he's a member of both the maverick Jazz Composers Collective and the more conservative Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra), and that's just the kind of bridge-building that modern jazz needs. ~ David R. Adler

Purchase Sidewalk Meeting CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Miles Davis Kind Of Blue CD (1959) Bonus Track; Remastered
Sidewalk Meeting album
$6.39 With BIRTH OF THE COOL, Miles Davis distilled a new tonal palette for jazz. As early as 1954, Miles reacted to the escalating chordal complexity of hard bop by fashioning an evocative blues based on a simple scalar pattern ("Swing Spring"). KIND OF BLUE was the ultimate fulfillment of this approach, with Miles providing his collaborators little more than outlines for melodies and simple scales for improvisation. By emphasizing the blues and the improvisor's melodic gifts, KIND OF BLUE precipitated a major stylistic development--modal jazz.
Charles Mingus had experimented with pedal points throughout the 1950s, and the melodic freedom of Ornette Coleman's Atlantic sides was also predicated on freedom from chord changes. But KIND OF BLUE was to prove the most influential, enduring work of its kind. There was just such a vibe about these 1959 sessions--Miles' lyric genius and burgeoning stardom, the innovative voicings and rarefied touch of pianist Bill Evans, the electrifying presence of Coltrane and Cannonball--that some thirty-plus years after its initial release, KIND OF BLUE is still recognized as Davis' point of departure towards jazz's less-explored regions.

| | Kenny G Miracles: The Holiday Album CD (1994)
Sidewalk Meeting CD music
$6.05 "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" was nominated for a 1996 Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance.
Over the past decade, since first gaining popularity with the Jeff Lorber Fusion, soprano saxophonist Kenny G has become one of the most celebrated instrumental stars in all of popular music. By fusing elements of contemporary jazz with the most lyrical aspects of pop and R&B, Kenny G has created an enduring sound signature and a fan base that rivals that of any vocalist.
It is precisely these lyric, vocal gifts that make Kenny G's sound so instantly identifiable. And on MIRACLES: THE HOLIDAY ALBUM, the saxophonist has turned his attention towards some of the most enduring, engaging melodies in popular music. Inspired in part by the birth of his son, the album has a mellifluous melodic quality, a reassuring warmth, that transcends the holiday season.
Part of the credit must go to composer-arranger Walter Afanasieff, who has wielded his production skills for some of the biggest names in the business. Afanasieff proves himself an ideal harmonic foil on most every ...

| | Michael Buble It's Time CD (2005)
Sidewalk Meeting album
$10.05 Michael Buble's third major US release (including the mostly live COME FLY WITH ME) stays on message--this young Canadian loves the lush, swaying music of his parents' and grandparents' generations. Buble's albums, however, are much more than mere back-in-the-day exercises. The production and arranging of David Foster (Celine Dion, Josh Groban) is eclectic in a way that firmly places the tunes at the dawn of the 21st century, and, more importantly, Buble possesses the chops and sense of style to re-imagine the adult-contemporary vocal genre in a distinctive manner. In addition to standards by Gershwin and Porter, Buble embraces a variety of sounds, from Motown ("How Sweet It Is") to bossa nova ("Quando, Quando, Quando" with Nelly Furtado) to the Beatles ("Can't Buy Me Love" with a "She Loves You" tag). With his smooth croon and charming persona, Buble is a natural performer, and, for fans of fearlessly romantic and infectiously swinging music, IT'S TIME is a sure bet.

$12.05 Although the plaudits for Melody Gardot's debut album, WORRISOME HEART, were entirely justified, it sometimes seemed as if the young singer-songwriter's compelling personal story--hit by a car and severely injured at the age of 19, the aspiring fashion designer began playing piano and writing songs as part of her physical therapy--overshadowed her music. Gardot's second album, MY ONE ...
