Elvin Jones And Richard Davis – Heavy Sounds
Posted by dOk | Filed under 1967, Jazz, Soul
One of Elvin Jones’ better CDs as a leader, HEAVY SOUNDS offers a plethora of aural pleasures. Whether it be Frank Foster’s creative tenor work, or Richard Davis’ fat, rounded double bass tone, this music really swings hard. With his sensitive, yet hard-hitting style, Jones himself is in superb form here. Highlights on HEAVY SOUNDS include a bass and drums duet version of “Summertime,” and the beautiful ballad, “Here’s That Rainy Day.” On the former, Jones plays a particularly moving solo using timpani mallets. Jones also plays guitar (his first and only time) on this album–his old-fashioned delta blues style ain’t half bad.

Charles Earland – Odyssey
Posted by dOk | Filed under 1976, Jazz, Soul
After his run of funky organ records for Prestige in the early 70s, Charles took a similar route to Herbie and others, and picked up a host of electric keyboards for his spacey fusion records on Mercury. The core of Earland’s groove here is the Arp, which he plays masterfully – running from tight funky melodies to wilder outer spacier sounds. The groups that back him up include many crack 70s fusion players – and the record has a style that’s overall more slick and sophisticated than his Prestige sessions.

Previte, Petrella, Salis – Big Guns
Posted by dOk | Filed under 2008, Jazz
As with many all-improvised sessions, this project between U.S. drummmer Bobby Previte, Italian trombonist Gianluca Petrella and Italian keyboardist Antonello Salis is a mixed bag. The program is nicely varied from track to track. But Salis, who alternates between piano, Hammond and Fender Rhodes, is the only one who sounds at ease, finding fresh and provocative gambits on every piece. Previte comes off as the least inspired participant. He plays with loads of power and sometimes drives the music from the pocket (as on “Blues For Gio”), but much of the time he sounds like he’s firing off a row of cannons.
Petrella is a monster on his instrument, and previous work has revealed his sharp grasp of electronic enhancements, but he overdoes it a little here. Reverby effects pedals sometimes reduce his razor-sharp phrasing and full-bodied tone into an oil slick of dubby low-end. When he plays clean lines, he and Salis usually lock into some gripping interactions, from slinking, guttural growls against the splattery piano figures on the title track or fat post-bop riffing againstgreasy and spooky Hammond trills on “The Battle Of Zama”. Some actual tunes would have helped.

John Coltrane – Meditations
Posted by dOk | Filed under 1965, Jazz
1965 was a turning point in the life of John Coltrane. It was at this point that he crossed the line into the free jazz arena that he had been approaching since the early ’60s. Besides his landmark ASCENSION, no better album illustrates this than the awe-inspiring MEDITATIONS. Coltrane’s regular quartet with McCoy Tyner (piano), Jimmy Garrison (bass) and Elvin Jones (drums) is expanded here with second drummer Rashied Ali (who would assume Jones’ spot after this album) and saxophonist Pharoah Sanders. This conglomeration produces some dense textures, especially in the epic first track, “The Father and The Son and The Holy Ghost.” This sonic hurricane is a 13-minute outpouring of spiritual emotion that is at once compelling and exhausting. Elsewhere, the group delicately follows Coltrane’s lead on the passionate “Love” and swings with abandon on the raucous “Consequences” as Sanders and ‘Trane battle like warriors above the churning rhythm section. Finally, the aptly titled “Serenity” is a swirling free-form improvisation gently touching back down to earth after an adventurous ride through the heavens.
Recorded at the Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey on November 23, 1965. Includes original release liner notes by Nat Hentoff.
Personnel: John Coltrane (tenor saxophone, percussion); Pharoah Sanders (tenor saxophone, tambourine, bells); McCoy Tyner (piano); Jimmy Garrison (acoustic bass); Elvin Jones, Rashied Ali (drums).

Pharoah Sanders – Love Will Find A Way
Posted by dOk | Filed under 1978, Jazz
Once you’ve heard the sound of Pharoah Sanders’ tenor saxophone, you never forget it; impossibly rich and full of overtones, it wrings every bit of emotion out of each note. Pharoah has gained a devoted following since his days with John Coltrane, and his work for Impulse during the early ’70s in particular has been lovingly reissued; however, his albums for Arista in the late ’70s have been out of print for years. One big reason for that is that they are the most controversial of his career; that same devoted fan base could not believe its ears when this free jazz icon went the jazz-funk “quiet storm” route! But the blend—some would say collision—of the two aesthetics produced, on Love Will Find a Way, a unique album that has gained quite the cult following over the years; that it features two other legends in their own right, drummer/producer/singer Norman Connors and vocalist Phyllis Hyman, certainly doesn’t hurt! We’re reissuing this lost classic with original art and new liner notes with quotes from Pharoah.

Sun Ra – Jazz In Silhouette
Posted by dOk | Filed under 1958, Jazz
A fascinating recording of Sun Ra and his Arkestra in an early incarnation, 1958′s JAZZ IN SILHOUETTE features Ra’s complex, adventurous compositions in traditional bop and swing contexts. The opening “Enlightenment” has edgy piano accompaniment from Ra, and a Cuban rhythm outro, but its breezy melody is reminiscent of Duke Ellington circa his Okeh period. “Blues at Midnight” is an up-tempo bop number with outstanding solos from all members of the Arkestra. Complex themes (“Saturn”) and fractured blues (“Horoscope”) show qualities integral to the style Ra would develop in the following years. In particular, the drawn-out ensemble explorations of “Ancient Aiethopia”–which are infused with tribal percussion, flute, and chant-like themes–serve as a blueprint for the artist’s signature sound. This album is an excellent, accessible introduction to the music of Sun Ra, ideal for those who may be intimidated by Ra’s more challenging later work.

Donald Byrd – Free From
Posted by dOk | Filed under 1961, Jazz
Donald Byrd’s 1961 recording Free Form is both a smorgasboard of modern jazz styles and a breakthrough album showing the Detroit-born trumpeter’s versatility. Where his brass tone is very lean and toned, he does not resort to outlandish outbursts into the ionosphere, but shows a refined yet daring approach removed from his predecessors or peers, including Clifford Brown and Lee Morgan. With tenor saxophonist Wayne Shorter, a very young pianist Herbie Hancock, drummer Billy Higgins and bassist Butch Warren, Byrd tackles different flavors of jazz with a voracious appetite. W”Pentecostal Feelin’” comes straight from the Horace Silver bag, original funk with Shorter, Hancock, and Higgins head-noddin’ to the band. By contrast, “Nai Nai” is all straight-ahead hard bop. The more modal “French Spice” is still in the hard-to-post bop mold, but has a two-note base until the horns burst out in a rich melody. The title track represents the so-called “New Thing,” a tone row-based spontaneous improvisation where the band is purposefully set apart from the inventive drumming of Higgins. Romance is also on the menu via the no-frills ballad “Night Flower” as Byrd serenely leads the band into a curtain closing venture into tenderness. FREE FORM may be close to Donald Byrd’s best early work.

Neos – Indefinita Atmosfera
Posted by dOk | Filed under 1997, Jazz
Neos was born in 1995 by the casual meeting between DJ Bruno Bolla and the saxophonist Gianni Bedori during a series of transmissions about jazz on Rai Stero 2. A friendship and an idea come to be: to create a group uniting their own experiences with those of Gerardo Frisina, passionate and qualified jazz expert and Luigi Bonafede refined pianist and session-man. This also marks the start of the extremely fruitful collaboration between Schema and Gerardo Frisina. Luigi conveyed indications for the choice of the other elements of the “Combo”. The collaboration features in fact two young musicians from Turin, Aldo Mella playing bass, and Enzo Zinnisi on drums, the Brazilian percussionist Gilson Silveira and the vocalists Barbara Casini and Rhonda Moore. The point was to create and propose a sound that was inspired by jazz, though at the same time allow to express the artists’ individuality, and as a group. In “Indefinita Atmosfera” there is a philosophy, exploration of the musical planet in all its tones touching the four cardinal points: North; East; West(Ovest) and South, sailing between melodies and rhythms. Neos are : Gianni Bedori flute, tenor saxophone, bass clarinet Luigi Bonafede fender rhodes, piano, keyboards with Aldo Mella electric bass Enzo Zirilli drums Gilson Silveira percussion Adolfo Laraya Sousa percussion on “Indian Diary” Barbara Casini voice on “Na Bahia”, “G-Bossa”, “Original Untitled” Rhonda Moore voice on “Quite Enough” Kate Jenkin voice on ” Indefinita Atmosfera”.

Pete La Roca – Basra
Posted by dOk | Filed under 1965, Jazz
One of the few albums that drummer Pete LaRoca ever made as a leader – and a gem through and through! LaRoca had a touch on the drums that was unlike anyone else – free, but never “out” – and in a flowing, progressive style that pointed the way towards the sound of jazz in the 70s, but which was still firmly rooted in the soulful style of the 60s. The album’s filled with beautiful flowing waves of sound – and features lead solos by Joe Henderson, strong piano lines by Steve Kuhn, and some great round basswork by Steve Swallow. The feel of the set’s somewhere in the vein of Larry Young’s work at the time – never too “out”, but much more flowing and free than the typical Blue Note. Tracks include “Basra”, “Tears Come From Heaven”, and “Candu”. A fantastic album, with a unique approach!

Bobby Hutcherson – Oblique
Posted by dOk | Filed under 1979, Jazz
Bobby Hutcherson’s second quartet session, Oblique, shares both pianist Herbie Hancock and drummer Joe Chambers with his first, Happenings (bassist Albert Stinson is a newcomer). However, the approach is somewhat different this time around. For starters, there’s less emphasis on Hutcherson originals; he contributes only three of the six pieces, with one from Hancock and two from the typically free-thinking Chambers. And compared to the relatively simple compositions and reflective soloing on Happenings, Oblique is often more complex in its post-bop style and more emotionally direct (despite what the title may suggest). The latter is especially true on the two opening Hutcherson pieces, the sweetly lilting “‘Til Then” and the innocent, childlike theme of “My Joy,” which is reminiscent of “Little B’s Poem” (save for its multi-sectioned structure). Meanwhile, Chambers’ experiments with counterpoint in the context of group improvisation keep getting more evocative. The title cut is quick and driving, with lots of short, fleeting exchanges between Hutcherson and a surprisingly swinging Hancock; “Bi-Sectional” makes playful use of chromaticism in its first part, after which Hutcherson and Chambers switch between several different percussion instruments for what amounts to an artillery attack. As for the other pieces, Hutcherson’s “Subtle Neptune” fuses post-bop with Brazilian rhythms, and Hancock’s “Theme From ‘Blow Up’” is a spare modal melody over a repeated chordal vamp, somewhat reminiscent of his classic “Maiden Voyage.” All the performances are spirited enough to make the sophisticated music sound winning and accessible as well, which means that Oblique is one of the better entries in Hutcherson’s Blue Note discography and one worth tracking down.
Recording information: New York, NY; Van Gelder Studios, Englewood Cliffs, NJ.
Personnel: Bobby Hutcherson (vibraphone); Herbie Hancock (piano); Albert Stinson (bass instrument); Joe Chambers (drums).

Amedeo Tommasi – The Sound
Posted by dOk | Filed under 1974, Jazz
Amedeo Tommasi’s career is pretty incredible. In 1961 he met Chet Baker, and started touring with the famous trumpetist (with musicians like Giovanni Tommaso, Franco Moldini, Santucci Scoppa, Bobby Jaspar). His album ‘Zamboni 22’ is an iconic landmark in the record collecting market, like the album he recorded with Chet Baker in Italy during the 60’s and 70’s.
At the end of the 70’s Tommasi moved towards music for film and soundtrack, he worked for ten years with film director Pupi Avati, and started a long time collaboration with the newly-minted Oscar-winner Ennio Morricone. He composed many electronic and jazz songs for the Maestro and participated at the creation of the film La Leggenda Del Pianista Sull’Oceano (The Legend Of 1900).
“The Sound” is a classic for all the collectors of jazz and Brazilian sound library out there, typical 70’s Brazilian lounge sound that have made movies that takes you back to scene to the soundtracks of some Mastroianni’s film (ahhh .La Dolce Vita.. those were the years..).
Some of these classics will be remixed by new electronic artist like Yam Who, 4Hero..so watch out…

Posted by dOk | Filed under 1977, Jazz
Andrea Centazzo is an Italian-born American percussionist and composer of minimal music. He acquired U.S. citizenship in 2000 and lives in Los Angeles, California.
In more than 30 years’ career, Centazzo crossed music genres and artistic expression forms, starting as jazz percussionist and improviser to become later a contemporary composer, a visual artist, a film and Theater director and a multimedia artist. His discography includes over 150 LPs, CDs, and DVDs, almost all recorded for ICTUS RECORDS, his own label, founded in 1976 and still active after its 2006 rebirth in California. He has performed and recorded with Don Cherry, Derek Bailey, Steve Lacy, Evan Parker, John Zorn, Henry Kaiser, Enrico Rava, Tom Cora, Theo Jörgensmann, Alvin Curran, Lol Coxhill, and others. Most of those musicians were involved in his Mitteleuropa Orchestra, a seminal 16-piece big band active between 1980 and 1983 in Europe. His composer career started writing for that ensemble and later expanded in writing for symphonic orchestra and opera. His most famous opera, TINA (1996), was inspired by the life and art of Tina Modotti. Two more operas followed, Memento in 2000 and Simultas in 2001. Since 2003 Centazzo wrote and performed three seminal multimedia solo shows (Mandala, Eternal Traveler, and Einstein’s Cosmic Messengers), combining his award-winning videos with solo performances based on percussion and digital percussion, making extensive use of computers, looping, and sampling. Centazzo has performed around the world and released numerous recordings, both as leader and sideman.

The Cinematic Orchestra is a British jazz and electronic outfit, created in the late 1990s by Jason Swinscoe. The band is signed to Ninja Tune independent record label. In addition to Swinscoe, the band includes PC (former DJ Food member Patrick Carpenter) on turntables, Luke Flowers (drums), Tom Chant (Saxophone), Nick Ramm (piano), Stuart McCallum (guitar) and Phil France (double bass). Former members include Jamie Coleman (trumpet), T. Daniel Howard (drums), Federico Ughi (drums) and Alex James (piano). The most recent addition to the band is Mancunian guitarist Stuart McCallum.
The Cinematic Orchestra’s sound, in both live and studio contexts, employs a live band which improvises along with a turntablist and electronic elements such as samples provided by Swinscoe. In their studio releases Swinscoe will often remix the live source material to produce a combination of live jazz improvisation with electronica, such that it is difficult to tell where the improvisation ends and the production begins.

Herbie Hancock & Wayne Shorter – 1 + 1
Posted by dOk | Filed under 1997, Jazz
Individually, Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter’s careers have been among the most innovative and influential in jazz, and their collaborative efforts are considered some of their most important work. As early as their tenure in the legendary Miles Davis quintet of the 1960s the two have cultivated an unusually long-standing and fruitful musical relationship. On 1+1, Hancock and Shorter share their extraordinary musical talents in an intimate duo setting.
The rapport these two musicians have developed is apparent throughout this beautifully conceived album. Hancock’s piano colorations blend perfectly with the unsurpassed expressiveness and warmth of Shorter’s soprano saxophone. The ten compositions on 1+1 (nine of which were penned by Hancock and/or Shorter) provide an exceptional amount of freedom for the two improvisers. The performances are characterized by subdued, introspective explorations. Brief virtuosic flourishes are balanced by a dramatic use of space. Even the slightly funk-tinged “Hale-Bopp, Hip Hop” is a subtle performance with shifting meters and complex rhythmic underpinnings.
