 (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, Afro-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.

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." Paquito D'Rivera Funk Tango Songs Purchase Funk Tango CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Ted Brown Free Spirit CD (1989)

$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, ...

Funk Tango music CDs
$14.35 
Phil Woods, the great American saxophonist, has been featured in more diverse settings than almost anyone in the history of the music. His constant challenging of himself as a player, bandleader, and composer has been admirable since his debut set as a leader. While standards sets these days are not only a dime a dozen but mostly cop-outs from established artists and newcomers who either lost or never had the chops to execute them with any aesthetic imprint, let alone the one they deserve, septuagenarian Woods breathes life into ten of these tunes, and reinvents them both as harmonic structures and as tools for swing. With trumpeter Brian Lynch, pianist Bill Charlap (a fine leader in his own right), bassist Steve Gilmore, and Billy Goodwin ...

European law limits copyrights on recordings to 50 years, whether the recordings were made in Europe or not, which means that, for example, Woody Guthrie's recordings, made in the U.S. in the 1940s, are all in the public domain (although they continue to be claimed by American record companies). A whole host of European reissue labels exist solely for the purpose of exploiting this anomaly by assembling unlicensed albums by vintage artists mastered from old vinyl records or even current CDs. These albums range from poorly compiled and annotated ripoffs to more scholarly and thorough efforts. Britain's Proper Records leans toward the high end, putting together box sets with extensive booklets, and that's the approach the label has taken with its Guthrie collection Some Folk. In terms of length, only the legitimate album The Asch Recordings, Vol. 1-4 (Smithsonian Folkways) is in the class of this four-CD set, which contains 99 tracks and runs four hours and 42 minutes. Compiler/annotator Adam Komorowski has taken a simple chronological approach. The first disc is an abridged version of the three-disc set The Library of Congress Recordings that cuts out most of the spoken material in favor of the music. The second disc begins with the tracks from the Dust Bowl Ballads album and continues by copying the contents of The Columbia River Collection. That concludes at the start of the third disc, followed by four tracks with the Almanac Singers (one of which, "The Dodger Song," features Lee Hays on lead vocals, with Guthrie buried in the chorus), and then the rest of the third disc and all of the fourth contain excerpts from Guthrie's large catalog of casually recorded folk songs done for record company owner Moses Asch in the mid-'40s. (Among these, "Sowing on the Mountain" features Cisco Houston on lead vocals, with Guthrie singing harmony, and the version of "Sinking of the Reuben James" is actually the Almanac Singers version, with Pete Seeger on lead vocals; although Guthrie co-wrote the song, he isn't present on the track.)
It's a straightforward approach, but there are reasons nobody else has done it this ...
