NEW YORK NEW SOUND was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album. This star-studded party led by long-revered Gerald Wilson reads like a roll call of jazz history past and present. Something of a great-grandfather ... Full Descriptionto the tradition, Wilson has worked as a composer, arranger, and trumpeter for the likes of Jimmie Lunceford, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Nancy Wilson, and Ella Fitzgerald, to name a few. Here Wilson is joined by old friends and luminaries such as trumpeter Clark Terry, saxophonist Jimmy Heath, and pianist Kenny Barron.
NEW YORK, NEW SOUND gets off to a blistering start with a version of Miles Davis's "Milestones" that's as relentless and acrobatic as the original. The spectral, repetitious figures of John Coltrane's "Equinox" do not lose their intimate intensity in this large ensemble setting, instead they are enhanced, and solos from pianist Renee Rosnes and trombonist Benny Powell are true to the exploratory nature of the piece. The rest of the compositions are Wilson's, two of which--"Viva Tirado" and "M Capetillo"--are in a decidedly Latin mode. The impressionistic "Teri" features gorgeous guitar by Anthony Wilson, and the three-part suite "Theme from Monterey" showcases the composer's penchant for Ellington-inspired orchestral work. The old-school elegance and expertise found in Wilson's writing and arrangements, and the energy and adventurousness of the players, make this a very fine record.

On paper it seems as if such titanic and distinctive musical personalities as Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane might not mix very well, but this stellar set, recorded live at Carnegie Hall in 1957, plays almost like a blissful extended duet between the two (with support from a sensitive yet hard-swinging bassist and drummer). The opener, "Monk's Mood," for example, features the composer/pianist's typically brilliant, idiosyncratic playing, while Coltrane floats over the top in the most lyrical of modes. Monk, in particular, is a master of tension-and-release tunefulness, creating rhythmic and harmonic intricacies that seem to spur Coltrane's ...
