Lost
Vinyl
Dave Liebman &
Richie Beirach | Forgotten Fantasies
Liebman and Bierach were to be frequent collaborators
for the rest of their careers. Sadly, many of their duo albums have
been long out of print and never made available digitally. The same
is true of a great deal of Beirich’s catalog, particularly some
excellent albums he recorded for ECM. One excellent but long unavailable
album by Liebman and Bierach is Forgotten Fantasies. Recorded
on November 18, 19 & 20, 1975 it was released on A&M’s
Horizon imprint. |
Chick
Corea & Hiromi | Duets and Stanley
Clarke Trio with Lenny White & Hiromi | Jazz In the Garden
Hiromi has not been around for very long compared to Corea,
but she has already demonstrated an unwillingness to respect musical
boundaries, recording trio albums, working with her heavy, fusion-influenced
Sonic Bloom, and now collaborating with Corea and with Stanley Clarke
and Lenny White on Clarke’s first trio album. |
Ravi
Coltrane | Blending Times
Ravi Coltrane’s latest release,
Blending Times, is an intriguing and well-realized trip through
post-bop modern jazz by a saxophonist who has continually sought to
discover his true voice and who demonstrates clearly that he has found
it. In the hands of a less self-assured player the array of grooves,
styles, and playing on this disc would have sounded like someone who
is lost. But Coltrane always plays like himself, remaining true to
the musical coordinates he’s set for his own career.

Christian
Scott | Live At Newport
It’s not necessary to see Christian Scott play to understand
the intense commitment he brings to his music.That’s evident
from his clear and powerful trumpet tone. But when you do get to see
Scott, as on the DVD accompanying his CD release Christian Scott
Live at Newport, your realize that he himself also creates a
powerful electricity around his music that is not unlike the power
of personality behind players like Miles Davis and Freddie Hubbard.

Joe
Zawinul & The Zawinul Syndicate 75
Performing with the latest edition of his group Zawinul Syndicate,
the venerable keyboardist and composer takes us through a sampling
of his career as a composer, going back to “Silent Way,”
a composition that inspired and informed the Miles Davis album of
the same title. |
Rudresh
Mahanthappa with the Dakshina Ensemble featuring Kadri Gopalnath
| Kinsmen
In 2005 Mahanthappa received a commission from the
Asia Society to travel to madras and collaborate with Kadri on the
music that has been recorded and released on the Pi Records label
under the title Kinsmen. The resulting album is mesmerizing and
by turns emphatically rhythmically driven and gorgeously lyrical.
“The piece is really about finding this middle ground where
we’re both comfortable playing in this setting that is half-Western
and half-South Indian..." |
