| | 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

Sidewalk Meeting album
 $12.09   
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 AND ONLY THRILL, dispells that sense entirely: this gorgeous collection of lavishly orchestrated jazz-pop ballads is the work of a genuinely talented singer-songwriter. ...
| | Gerald Wilson Detroit CD (2009)
Sidewalk Meeting CD music
$14.29 
Detroit comprises a six-composition suite commissioned for the 2009 thirtieth anniversary Detroit International Jazz Festival, played in the studio with musicians from composer/arranger Gerald Wilson's Los Angeles home or New York City area. Curiously, there are no Motor City-based players on the disc, but the themes are based in certain locales from the industrial Midwestern City that has fallen on hard economic times but played a pivotal role in the development of Wilson's highly developed skills as a composer, arranger, and bandleader. A quite spirited and energetic music is heard here from the 90-year-old Wilson, whose charm and wit would rival anyone many decades his junior. It's a swinging affair molded in the traditional big-band visage of Count Basie, Ernie Wilkins, or early Quincy Jones, with Wilson's deft touch for embellishing the blues. Players like trumpeter Sean Jones, son/guitarist Anthony Wilson, violinist Yvette Devereaux, the fine pianist Brian O'Rourke, and particularly L.A. alto saxophonist and flutist Randall Willis or Kamasi Washington on tenor sax, spice up the band's ensemble and solo contributions. The suite begins with "Blues on Belle Isle," a bopping tribute ...

| | Michael Buble It's Time CD (2005)
Sidewalk Meeting songs
$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.

| | Crusaders Street Life CD (1979)
Sidewalk Meeting music CDs
$8.39  
Although the Crusaders could not have known it at the time, their recording of "Street Life" (which features a memorable vocal by Randy Crawford) was a last hurrah for the 20-year old group. Their recordings of the next few years would decline in interest until the band gradually faded away in the '80s. However this particular set is well worth picking up for the 11-minute title cut and there is good playing by the three original members (Wilton Felder on tenor, soprano and electric bass, keyboardist Joe Sample and drummer Stix Hooper) along with guitarist Barry Finnerty; horn and string sections, plus additional guitarists ...
