| | Paquito D'Rivera Funk Tango CD Paquito D'Rivera Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
The great Paquito d'Rivera does it again with 2007's FUNK TANGO. Contrary to what the title implies, the compositions on this set are neither tango-steeped nor explicitly funky. Instead, d'Rivera leads a top-shelf ensemble through post-bop, ... Full DescriptionAfro-Cuban jazz, and Brazilian forms, and other styles plucked from the jazz vocabulary to be tasted, tested, and re-combined at will. The appearance of a tune by tango master Astor Piazolloa, and the title track by pianist Alon Yavnai (who performs it as a duet with d'Rivera) made good on the album's name. D'Rivera, as always, is riveting on both saxophone and clarinet.
Paquito D'Rivera: Paquito D'Rivera (alto saxophone); Hector Del Curto (bandoneon); Diego Urcola (trumpet); Ed Simon, Fernando Otero, Alon Yavnai (piano); Oscar Stagnaro (bass guitar); Mark Walker (drums); Pablo Stagnaro (cajon drums); Pernell Saturnino (percussion).Down Beat (p.68) - "[A] fine, tightly wrought CD....A solid snapshot of where he sees himself today."
JazzTimes (p.94) - "D'Rivera is on fire throughout on both his instruments. Urcola impresses in a Miles-flavored style on trumpet as well as his debut on valve trombone." Hide Description Paquito D'Rivera Funk Tango Songs | 1. | Pere |

Funk Tango CD music
$14.39
Starting in the 1970s, Jean Luc Ponty brought the violin (both acoustic and electrified) to the forefront of fusion (and occasionally rock & roll) through his work with Frank Zappa and John McLaughlin, as well as with combos of his own. (Before that, he was a fixture on the European jazz scene.) With THE ACTAMA EXPERIENCE, Ponty proves he's not resting on past achievements. He's assembled a band with two ...

| | Herbie Hancock River: The Joni Letters CD (2007)
Funk Tango album
$9.95
Any doubts about the incongruity of jazz icon Herbie Hancock covering singer-songwriter extraordinare Joni Mitchell will be obliterated on the first journey through RIVER: THE JONI LETTERS. For starters, the premise is not especially incongruous. Hancock has had a long, adventurous career in which he's traversed genres and masterfully blended styles, while Mitchell has always been deeply influenced by jazz as both a composer and a singer. RIVER features many of Mitchell's finest songs, stunning in their own right and reinterpreted beautifully by Hancock, plus a stellar assortment of musicians and guest vocalists.
Mitchell's pop and folk tendencies have been assimilated into the arrangements; the album plays like a vocal jazz outing. Hancock is joined by fellow Miles Davis alums Wayne Shorter and Dave Holland, among others, and the guest vocalists include Norah ...
| | Lester Young Pres And Teddy CD (1956)
Funk Tango CD music
$9.75 
Floating over bar lines using a light, airy tone, Lester Young redefined (and refined) the tenor saxophone. A nonconformist, Young's sound soon overshadowed Coleman Hawkins' thicker, more abrasive style. Indeed, Young's approach influenced most of the new wave of saxophonists to come out of the 1950s. On PRES AND TEDDY, we hear Young (nicknamed Pres) teamed up with the great pianist Teddy Wilson, who himself, is one of three definitive swing era pianists (the other two being Earl Hines and Art Tatum).
PRES AND TEDDY is a small group outing that also highlights the talents of bassist Gene Ramey and drummer Jo Jones. This is straight-ahead, no bull jazz that ...

< obligatory pretentious blurb >The glitch and drop of warp records meets the layered baroque psychedelia of Henry Cow in PcOnTrApTiOn (read: potato-contraption), a mash-up collaborative that pairs the arrangement and production skills of RDunlap with the electro-sonic emanations of Johann Meier. The contraption navigates an audio space where filtered static, disjointed motorik rhythms, frantic electro beats, eno-pads, and the odd robot singer blend together. at turns foreboding, lush, and even uplifting, PcOnTrApTiOn excels primarily at defying your expectations. < /blurb >Through the eclectic personal tastes and influences of Meier and Dunlap, PcOnTrApTiOn draws from a root system that meanders well beyond the dance and pop lineage of many electronica examples. But the project is also about visceral appeal and engagement, not just “different”. PcOnTrApTiOn is arranged and mixed by RDunlap from a growing collection ...
