Sean Jones Eternal Journey CD (2004)

Gemini album

$14.39

When it comes to the Young Lions -- that is, retro improvisers whose straight-ahead hard bop and post-bop are a throwback to the '50s and '60s -- there are two equally absurd viewpoints in the jazz world. The Stanley Crouch/Wynton Marsalis crowd sees them as musical saviors who are rescuing jazz from the "evils and horrors" of fusion, avant-garde jazz, and jazz-funk; at the opposite extreme are avant-gardists who insist that the Young Lions are putting the nail in jazz's creative coffin. But truth be told, the Young Lions will be neither jazz' salvation nor its downfall. Innovators and traditionalists both have their place in jazz, and when it comes to trumpet playing, there is room for a risk-taking explorer like Dave Douglas, as well as a more traditional Young Lion such as Sean Jones. Eternal Journey, Jones' first album as a leader, finds the trumpeter drawing on the influence of Freddie Hubbard, Lee Morgan, Clifford Brown, Woody Shaw, and other big-toned icons -- Jones definitely appreciates the trumpeters with the big, fat, full-bodied tones, although there are also hints of the softer, more economical Miles Davis in some of his playing.

Conrad Herwig Que Viva Coltrane CD (2004)

Gemini CD music

$13.89

What more could Latin jazz fans ask for, seriously? Not only are all the players just this side of top guns, they have been playing together in the same group for just shy of ten years. An all-star lineup and the genuine synergy that comes with regular collaboration do not happen often. When they do, well, it's clave magic. Pianist Edsel Gomez's playing is sly and intuitive. Bassist John Benítez, whose Descarga in New York could be one of the decade's most defining Latin jazz records, is strong and confident. Richie Flores is the genre's most underappreciated conguero, and his playing is typically incendiary. Robby Ameen is, of course, among the most in-demand drummers on the scene, and his playing is dazzling as always. Brian Lynch has a voice all his own, and of course Conrad Herwig is one of modern jazz's most influential trombonists. This being Herwig's second go at the Coltrane songbook, the obvious choices are done with, leaving him some gems that ...

Steve Turre Spirits Up Above CD (2004)

Gemini music CDs

$14.29

Trombonist Steve Turre pays tribute to his former employer, the remarkable multi-reedist Rahsaan Roland Kirk, on this sincere effort. Turre and an all-star group perform nine of Kirk's songs plus the trombonist's "One for Kirk." But although the music is certainly well played, one misses Rahsaan's miraculous innovations. It was logical getting James Carter for the date ...

Brian Lynch Conclave CD (2005)

Gemini album

$14.49

Trumpeter Brian Lynch has often played second fiddle to his Latin jazz A-lister friends. Be it with trombone giant Conrad Herwig, piano luminary Eddie Palmieri, or any of the host of New York Latin jazzers with whom Lynch has collaborated, the most notable records that he has appeared on have him listed after the word "featuring." The Brian Lynch Latin Jazz Sextet features a group of players who are similarly stellar sidemen, who have backed the biggest artists in the genre, but whose names are not often seen in lights. With the release of Conclave, their day in the sun has come. This 2005 release is easily one of the strongest Latin jazz releases of the year. Luis Perdomo is rapidly distinguishing himself as the most important, in-demand pianist ...

This Is Jazz, Vol. 7 CDs (2001)

Gemini songs

$28.29
Rudi Blesh's This Is Jazz radio show was presented in 35 weekly episodes during 1947, along with an initial audition show. The 36 shows are being reissued in nine volumes (four to a double CD) by the Jazzology label. Vol. 7 starts off with two shows by the regular band (cornetist Wild Bill Davison, clarinetist Albert Nicholas, trombonist Jimmy Archey, pianist Ralph Sutton, guitarist Danny Barker, bassist Pops Foster, and drummer Baby Dodds). The group romps on such numbers as "Eccentric," "Hotter Than That," "Sensation," "China Boy," and "California Here I Come." In addition, Nicholas is showcased on "Dardanella," soprano saxophonist Sidney Bechet guests on "Love for Sale," and veteran blues singer Bertha "Chippie" Hill is featured on two numbers. The August 9 and 16 shows are unique in the This Is Jazz discography in that announcer-writer Blesh took the show to California for two weeks. On August 9, Kid Ory's Creole Jazz Band (with trumpeter Andrew Blakeney and clarinetist Joe Darensbourg) was featured, while the August 16 edition had Lu Watters & the Yerba Buena Jazz Band. So this two-fer is valuable not only for covering the This Is Jazz radio series but also for giving listeners an overview of three important ensembles ...

Paul Specht Retro-Specht (1925-1931) CD (2003)

Gemini album

$12.89

Violinist Paul Specht started leading bands in 1916, and throughout the 1920s and first half of the '30s, his orchestra was popular. Specht's ensemble performed and recorded regularly, being more of a dance band than a jazz ensemble. A small group taken out of his orchestra, the Georgians, was very jazz-oriented and featured the underrated trumpeter Frank Guarante as early as 1922. However the music on this CD is taken from a slightly later period. Reversing the trend of most other groups of the time, Specht's records of 1925-1928 are generally less interesting than his early Depression performances of 1929-1931. In fact, the numbers included here from the mid-'20s often are a bit corny, have unswinging phrasing and leave one waiting in vain for a hot solo after an insipid vocal. By 1929, the occasional hot solo was included and the ensembles swung a bit more, so the final dozen selections are of greatest interest, being fine hot dance music. Retro-Specht, although not essential, should interest 1920s dance band collectors. ~ Scott Yanow Heavily ...

Lula Reed I'll Drown In My Tears CD (2004)

$14.75

Although Lula Reed did record after 1955 for Chess and Tangerine (and for the King subsidiary Federal), this 24-track anthology wholly sticks to her 1952-1955 King recordings. In addition to numerous singles, it has four 1952-1953 sides she did as vocalist with Sonny Thompson & His Orchestra -- one of those being her most famous recording, "I'll Drown in My Tears" -- as well as a previously unissued outtake and a previously unavailable alternate of "Bump on a Log." Like much of the R&B from the era, it's transitional music, owing ...

Baby Bash Menage A Trois CD (2004) With DVD

Gemini songs

$15.65

The bonus DVD features live video footage of Baby Bash and South Park Mexican. Mčnage a Trois doesn't explain itself in the liner notes, the little "includes the hits..." sticker on the front, or anywhere else. It's a collection of Baby Bash's earlier works, all on the Dopehouse label and mostly under his Baby Beesh moniker. The recordings are rougher, more street, and way less produced than Tha Smokin' Nephew was, but Bash is a fantastic, charismatic rapper and always has been. Problem is these recordings flowed better in their original context rather than in this overly long, poorly paced compilation. A bunch of tracks from the Ultimate Cartel album are stuck up front, a good bit of On tha Cool takes up the middle, and 2001's Savage Dreams fills the last third. Going backward chronologically works sometimes for career overviews, but hearing the production get skimpier and Bash/Beesh's raps getting less fully formed as you go on isn't much fun without a liner note history lesson. There's plenty of highlights like the tougher remix of "Mčnage a Trois," the thugging ode to drugs "Esquina," ...
