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.

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).

Personnel: Paquito d'Rivera (clarinet, alto saxophone); Hector del Curto (bandoneon); Diego Urcola (trumpet, valve trombone); Fernando Otero, Eddie Simon, Alon Yavnai (piano); Mark Walker (drums); Pernell Saturnino (percussion).

Liner Note Author: Paquito d'Rivera.

Recording information: Knoop Studios (10/24/2006/10/25/2006).

Arranger: Oscar Stagnaro.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."

5 stars Great!
Looks like, or rather, sounds like Paquito tried extra hard to put together a real winner for his own label . . .and succeeded!

Dave Holland Overtime CD  (2005)

Funk Tango album
CD $13.45  5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
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 ...

Phil Woods American Songbook CD  (2006)

Funk Tango CD music
CD $14.35  5 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
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 on drums, Woods takes on "Foggy Day" as if it were a new tune. The same goes for the age-old jazz ballad of choice "All the Things You Are," on which Charlap sets the course for a wondrous take with the ensemble playing together as if they co-wrote the tune. Lynch's muted trumpet is a natural choice, but Charlap's extrapolation on the chord voicings and Woods playing the middle-low register of his horn and easing out with a sense of phrasing akin to Paul ...

Gerald Wilson Detroit CD  (2009)

Funk Tango CD music
CD $14.35  5 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
Detroit comprises a six-composition suite commissioned for the 2009 thirtieth anniversary Detroit International Jazz Festival, played in the studio with musicians from composer/arranger Gerald Wilson's Los Angeles home or New York City area. Curiously, there are no Motor City-based players on the disc, but the themes are based in certain locales from the industrial Midwestern City that has fallen on hard economic times but played a pivotal role in the development of Wilson's highly developed skills as a composer, arranger, and bandleader. A quite spirited and energetic music is heard here from the 90-year-old Wilson, whose charm and wit would rival anyone many decades his junior. It's a swinging affair molded in the traditional big-band visage of Count Basie, Ernie Wilkins, or early Quincy Jones, with Wilson's deft touch for embellishing the blues. Players like trumpeter Sean Jones, son/guitarist Anthony Wilson, violinist Yvette Devereaux, the fine pianist Brian O'Rourke, and particularly L.A. alto saxophonist and flutist Randall Willis or Kamasi Washington on tenor sax, spice ...
Pres And Teddy
Lester Young Pres And Teddy CD  (1956)

Funk Tango music CDs
CD $9.59  Audio Samples Definitive Album
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 ...

Joe Temperley Easy To Remember CD  (2001)

Funk Tango songs
CD $13.39  
Veteran baritone saxophonist Joe Temperley (who doubles on soprano) is best known for stepping into the huge shoes of Harry Carney with the Mercer Ellington Orchestra and for playing with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra. Temperley's large tone is not overly heavy, and in fact he can play both rapid lines and in a more relaxed fashion with equal ease. On this set, his fourth CD as a leader for the Scottish Hep label, Temperley is heard in four different ...
