Two Of A Kind Music Review

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

5 stars Amazing
Svend Asmussen has been my favorite since before I was born, and he is still playing. And - as the title says: Stephane Grapelli is just as great as Svend. They are sort of symbiotic, when you listen to both you get far more than double pleasure. Their music is pleasing, always a safe choice, so just relax and enjoy. Svend is 90 and still performing, will soon be experienced enough to reach the top of his career. Just buy it!

Houston Person Mellow CD (2009)

Two Of A Kind

$13.59

Not all mellow, Houston Person's tribute to the softer side of jazz has its moments based on the laid-back timbre of his soul rather than a program consisting of only ballads. The tenor sax he wields certainly reflects the tradition established by Ben Webster in its soul-drenched tone, but is not as vocally pronounced or vibrato driven. The quite capable pianist John DiMartino is the one whose more enunciated notions are harnessed, while tasteful guitar by the underrated James Chirillo ring out in acceptance of Person's embraceable hues. A program of standards and two blues jams, Person rounds into shape this quintet of true professional to render themes that are harder to play slow than fast. The slower ...

Diana Krall Quiet Nights CD (2009)

Two Of A Kind

$13.69

Diana Krall's first studio outing since she and husband Elvis Costello became the proud parents of twin boys, 2009's QUIET NIGHTS finds the jazz singer/pianist turning in a serene and pleasantly subdued set. Krall breezes through a few bossa nova standards, most notably "The Girl from Ipanema" (here gender-reversed to "The ...

Al Jarreau This Time CD (1980)

Two Of A Kind

$6.15

Al Jarreau finally found success in the U.S. after 1975's We Got By. The later albums that followed ,like 1977's live Look to the Rainbow and 1978's All Fly Home found him attaining the all-important cult status and accolades from the jazz community. Those facts made his switch to pop/R&B on This Time even more surprising. For This Time, Jarreau is paired with producer Jay Graydon. Despite his jazz ...

Jeff Hamilton Symbiosis CD (2009)

Two Of A Kind

$12.59

Jeff Hamilton's recordings have always been focused as straight-ahead and mainstream as your typical superhighway, with occasional time for rest stops, gassing up, and sleepovers. While always a good listen, Hamilton and his non-stop rotation of up-and-coming pianists and bassists never really pushed the envelope, staying the course set by his mentor, the late, great bassist Ray Brown, and other California-based coolsters. With Symbiosis, though, there's a change in the weather with the addition of extraordinary young talent in pianist Tamir Hendelman and bassist Christoph Luty. This is not at all to say that Hamilton's music had no fire, guts, or glory, but the ...

Though Ray Charles, one of the greatest singers of the 20th century, was never in need of vocal assistance, he was no stranger to duets either (one of his finest records is a duet album with Betty Carter). For as much of a musical giant as he was, Brother Ray knew how to share the spotlight, as evidenced ...

Spool CD (1998)

Two Of A Kind

$11.49

This collaboration between San Francisco-based keyboardist/producer Jhno and Chicago-based guitarist/bassist John Ridenour (of the Aluminum Group) matches live improvisation with ambient and jungle production values in a manner not far removed from Jhno's solo work, though it is certainly distinctive enough in its own minutely detailed ways. The album opens with the gorgeously percussive ambient drum'n'bass of "Ebo," a 14-odd minute cut that alternately sizzles tensively and broods over live jazz drumming and a Peter Hook-like bassline before moving into "Algo," which contains some of the slow-simmering groove, the same stoned dub bass, and cool-jazz-to-ambient, easygoing-weekend vibe of Jhno's solo work. On "Joni," the duo brings an interest in gamelan to bear on the music's rhythmic underpinning, making the song chaotic and stormy, but it never devolves into messiness or incomprehension. Instead, Spool uses the musical turbulence as an instrument of contemplation, to get at the nerve-ending levels of an emotion, a tonal color. In general, Spool bears more than a passing resemblance to Jhno's second album, Kwno. The modus operandi is smoky-cool dry-ice jazz. You can never quite figure out if it burns or chills, but that doesn't matter because the music scintillates with its organic electronics, pulsing the blood flow and firing up the synapses. The drum'n'bass rhythms add a gauze of mystery to the washes of textural, spacious ...
