Muddy Waters Folk Singer CD (1964) Remastered

Trio album

$8.49

Ultradiscs are mastered from the original master tapes using Mobile Fidelity's proprietary mastering technique, then plated with 24-karat gold and housed in a stress-resistant lift-lock jewel box. "You Can't Lose What You Ain't Never Had" and "The Same Thing" did not appear on the original version of FOLK SINGER. They were recorded at a separate session in April 1964, three months after FOLK SINGER was released. The title and cover photo of this 1963 recording were an attempt to cash in on the burgeoning American folk revival, but this is pure acoustic blues. Muddy began his career as a Robert Johnson-style solo acoustic performer, and the tunes on FOLK SINGER hark back to those days. He's accompanied sparsely by Willie Dixon, drummer Clifton James and a young Buddy Guy, who provide a stark, deliberate backdrop for Muddy's rich vocal and expressive bottleneck guitar work. The richness of Muddy's baritone is showcased effectively here, with more room than usual for his voice to resonate. The low-key setting allows Muddy to explore a fuller dynamic range as well. From the romantic yearning of "Long Distance Call" to the fatalism of the chain gang song "My Captain," Muddy's voice expresses entire worlds of emotion with only ...

Dave Holland Overtime CD (2005)

Trio CD music

$13.49

This exceptional date by Dave Holland Big Band was recorded in 2002 in New York, yet remained unreleased until 2005. As is to be expected, Holland assembled a fine cast of seasoned and young players, some of whom are veterans of Holland's quintets and quartets. These are four saxophones -- two alto, tenor and baritone -- three trumpets and trombones, and vibes as well as bass and drums. They include Chris Potter and Robin and Duane Eubanks, Antonio Hart, Steve Nelson, Josh Roseman, Billy Kilson, Taylor Haskins, Gary Smulyan, Jonathan Arons and Alex Sipiagin. The music centers around the opening four-part "Monterey Suite," a tour de force commissioned by the Monterey Jazz Festival and originally performed there in 2001. Holland's writing for the trombone section is dynamite. Roseman, Arons, and Robin Eubanks offer up solid bottom rung lines and tight timing as anchors for the rest of the brass though they often charge out front. Potter once more displays ...

Dizzy Gillespie Town Hall, New York City, June 22, 1945 CD (2005)

Trio music CDs

$13.79

The historic live Town Hall sessions by Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker from 1945 have been discovered on an acetate pressing, and are transferred with digital enhancement to CD. Why this concert was not issued initially is understandable, but Ira Gitler's informative and insightful liner notes suggest they likely were misplaced. What Gitler's essential writing also reveals is that these dates were approximate by only weeks to the original studio recordings of these classics, and there was no small amount of controversy surrounding this revolutionary bebop. Clearly bop was a vehicle for intricate melodic invention followed by lengthy soloing, aspects of which Parker with Gillespie were perfectly suited for. Fact is, the situation surrounding the sonic capture and extended neglected shelf life of this performance was far from optimal. Symphony Sid Torin is the M.C., rambling as always, making repeated references to Dizzy "Jillespie" and misidentifying Max Roach as Sid Catlett on "Salt Peanuts." (Catlett does sit in on "Hot House" in a more supportive than demonstrative role.) The tracks with the brilliant Roach are on fire, particularly the super-hot "Salt Peanuts," with pianist Al Haig flying beside him. Haig ...

Thelonious Monk At Carnegie Hall CD (2005)

Trio album

$12.89

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 ...

Kenny Barron Perfect Set: Live At Bradley's 2 CD (2005)

Trio CD music

$14.29

Bradley's was a legendary New York City jazz club that for 25 years acted as a gathering place for many of the Big Apple's top musicians, a place to hang out. In 1996, the Kenny Barron Trio dug in before the illustrious audience and played at their best. Barron and drummer Ben Riley were members of Sphere, a quartet (with tenor saxophonist Charlie Rouse and bassist Buster Williams) that initially paid tribute to Thelonious Monk. On this trio set, "The Only One" is based on Monk's "Hackensack," Barron takes Thelonious' ...

Lee Konitz Rhapsody CD (1993)

Trio songs

$10.69

Lee Konitz's Evidence release has seven selections from the veteran altoist that utilize different all-star personnel. The performances all have a similar commitment to relaxed and melodic freedom, but some work better than others. "I Hear a Rhapsody" (featuring a haunting vocal by Helen Merrill) precedes a more abstract "Rhapsody" (titled "Lo-Ko-Mo-And Frizz") which has wandering interplay by Konitz (on alto, soprano and tenor Joe Lovano (switching between tenor, alto clarinet and soprano), guitarist Bill Frisell and drummer Paul Motian. Jay Clayton's beautiful voice and adventurous style is well displayed on "The Aerie" and baritone great Gerry Mulligan sounds reasonably comfortable on a free improvisation with Konitz and pianist Peggy Stern...a fairly straightforward vocal by Judy Niemack on "All the Things You Are" is followed by a 19-minute exploration of the same chord changes (renamed "Exposition") by the quartet of Konitz, clarinetist Jimmy Giuffre, pianist Paul Bley and bassist Gary Peacock; their different approaches never really mesh together...The final performance, an extroverted duet by Konitz (on soprano) and flugelhornist Clark Terry (titled "Flyin' -- Mumbles and Jumbles") adds some...humor to the set...One can admire Lee Konitz for still challenging himself after all this time, some of the drier material on the CD (especially the two quartet numbers) should have been performed again; maybe the next versions would have been more inspired. ~ Scott Yanow Lee Konitz's Evidence release has seven selections from the veteran altoist that utilize different all-star personnel.

Reggie Workman Synthesis CD (1986)

Trio album

$14.39
The recordings on Synthesis were a live date in 1986 where Workman was performing with reedman Oliver Lake, pianist Marilyn Crispell, and drummer Andrew Cyrille. At this time, Crispell was still very much a part of the Anthony Braxton Quartet, and her playing here reveals that influence: many of her solos incorporate long phrases from his compositions. As a quartet, this band has some interesting things to say. There is fire in the group interplay andLake's playing in particular is very inspired. But there are some weak links in the chain, and unfortunately the weakest is Workman himself. This is difficult to say about a musician of his caliber, but as a leader here, he is far behind his band members to pick up the intuitive cues they set out, sometimes especially for him to follow. Perhaps it was a bad night, perhaps there was something wrong with the acoustics in the room, but as Crispell opens her heart into the mix where it is greeted warmly by Lake and Cyrille, Workman is dragging, playing through cues and line changes we have heard from him many, many times before. His playing is flat and unimaginative. It is a blessing, however, to have the remaining trio -- Crispell in particular -- work ever harder to make the proceedings come off as well as they do. It becomes ever clearer as the set goes on that Lake is listening to Crispell for rhythmic cues and key changes; she is playing both parts and does so without sacrificing ...
