Recording information: Clubhouse Studio, Rhineback, New York (2005).
Personnel: David Torn (guitar); Tim Barne (alto saxophone); Craig Taborn (Hammond b-3 organ); Matt Chamberlain, Tom Rainey (drum).
The Wire (p.67) - "Passages Torn likes are loped, stuttered and layered....Bravo to Torn for getting his hands dirty."
Down Beat (p.62) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Some pieces are gloriously robotic, the most colorful drum-'n'-bass tracks ever recorded. Others are contagiously claustrophobic -- pressurized beats and jittery rhythms attacking from all sides."

 $14.65  
The delicate imbrication of parts lends these compositions the feel of fragile, shifting houses suspended in air. Motian's drumming is crucial to this aesthetic--light years beyond standard beat-keeping, his approach to time is all suggestion and evocative accent. Aside from the Hammerstein/Kern title track and a sweet, ethereal take on Thelonious Monk's "Dreamland," all the tunes were written by Motian, his rich imagination informed by classic jazz, post-bop, avant-garde, and ambient music alike. The silent partner here is producer Manfred Eicher, whose ear for warm, resonant tones and expansive atmospheres is the perfect match for the inventiveness, lyricism, and exquisite beauty of this session.

| | Miles Davis Cellar Door Sessions 1970 CDs (2005) Remastered; Box Set; Special Edition
Prezens
$87.89 
Contains previously unreleased material. Some of the recordings on the CELLAR DOOR SESSIONS were originally released in edited form on the 1971 double-LP LIVE EVIL.
There is an entire universe contained in this box. Sumptuously packaged and scrupulously annotated, CELLAR DOOR SESSIONS 1970 is a six-disc set that documents Miles Davis's extended residency at the Washington, D.C., club. Davis is backed by a group of genius musicians: keyboardist Keith Jarrett, drummer Jack DeJohnette, bassist Michael Henderson, saxophonist Gary Bartz, percussionist Airto Moreira and guitarist John McLaughlin (who appears only on the last two discs). Together they pioneered an ecstatic fusion of jazz, rock, funk, and abstract sound-painting that established the blueprint for the future of progressive music.
Each disc contains a different live set, and while songs are often repeated across the set lists, no two tracks sound the same. The players improvise at a fever-pitch, pushing themselves to endless invention, and the ensemble's interplay--expressionistic, protean, and fierce--is near telepathic. The influence of rock artists like Sly Stone and Jimi Hendrix can be heard in the layering of deep funk rhythms and psychedelic inflections (especially with Miles's ...

$15.05
The follow-up to I HAVE THE ROOM ABOVE HER, Paul Motian's lauded collaboration with guitarist Bill Frisell and saxophonist Joe Lovano, 2006's GARDEN OF EDEN finds the veteran jazz drummer leading a much larger ensemble through a remarkable set. As with the previous outing, Motian presents inventive covers of tunes by Jerome Kern (a light, gentle take on "Bill") and Thelonious Monk (the shuffling rendition of "Evidence"), but that's where obvious similarities between the two albums end. GARDEN features the unusual ...

Using a sextet, upright bassist Holland sets the bar even higher than on his previous efforts, adding the always tasteful pianist Mulgrew Miller and a four-horn front line that is relentless. The jaunty opening number, "The Sum of All Parts," is a 5/4 African percussion-based piece led by Robin Eubanks with folded-in alto and trumpet and witty counterpoint. Adding a light samba feel during the upbeat "Fast Track" with the horns in perfect unison, the ensemble shifts up to hard bop. A 10/8 choppy and bouncy "Modern Times" ...

Prezens
$11.95
Peggy Lee is a legend of American popular music. With skill and talent, she shapes an unmatched style of delivery, imbuing songs old and new with reality and life. Lee makes music with an edge.
A remake of "Why Don't You Do Right?" is meticulous, much grittier than her earlier recording of the song with Benny Goodman's band. Lee pares down her vocals to the bare bones on such songs as "I'm Gonna Go Fishin'" and "I'm a Woman," sharpening her sense of rhythm and giving an acute edge to her blues. An impossibly ethereal earthiness imbues "Mamma's Gone, Goodbye." "You Don't Know" ...
