    Review   by Richie Unterberger

    As spage age bachelor pad music goes, this is among the goofiest and edgiest. This 14-song survey is heavy on two aspects of the cocktail kitsch genre: then-futuristic, now-primitive synthesizer squawks (Richard Hayman, Dick Hyman, Perrey-Kingsley) and double entendre sexual innuedos. Sometimes that double entendre was vocal, as in Julie London’s “Hot Toddy,” or Mel Henke’s ridiculous “The Lively Ones” (some of whose dialogue is delivered by Herschel Bernardi). Sometimes the titles of the instrumentals sufficed by themselves (Les Baxter’s “Lust,” Jerry Murad’s “Music to Watch Girls By,” Hyman’s “The Topless Dancers of Corfu”). And there are old space age pop standbys like Latin rhythms, stereophonic experimentation, exotica, and mutation of time-honored pop standards worked in. This compilation may not be long on consistency, but on the other hand the track selection is very good, assembling some of the most amusing, fun, and adventurous cocktail music available.

     Rio & Sally With Saharadja - One World (2003)
    by Kostafank on 04.08.2010, 08:40| Отправить Другу Для печати
    views ... 357 / thanks ... 0

    Группа Saharadja была основана на Бали в 2002 году яванским джазовым трубачом и вокалистом Rio Sidik и его женой, австралийской скрипачкой Sally Jo. К ним присоединились их друзья и получился необычный сплав музыки и энергии. В своей музыке они используют разнообразные инструменты, такие как: tabla, banjo, sitar, sarod, didjeridoo, darbuka, djembe, fretless bass и акустическую гитару. Им подвластны все площадки: от больших сцен во время туров до их любимой - в баре Obsesion Bar на Легиане. Группа Saharadja была на гастролях в Южной Африке, Австралии, на многих джазовых фестивалях в Малайзии, Сингапура и Кореи. скрытый текст

    frontcover450-7.jpg
    Artist: Manu Katché
    Album: Third Round
    Label: ECM (ecm 2156)
    Year: 2010
    Genre: Jazz, Smooth Jazz
    Format: FLAC
    Time: 44:38
    Size: ~259 MB incl. 3 % recovery ( 3 files)

    Contemporary jazz that anyone could like, characterised by strong yet open themes, unshowy brilliance and an overall mood of soulfulness and sensitivity. For his third album, French/African drummer Katché has assembled an unusual but effective cast of musicians, with Tore Brunborg on sax, Jason Rebello on piano and Pino Palladino on bass. Guitarist Jacob Young plays on three of the 11 tracks and there’‘s a cameo by Kami Lyle, whose strangulated voice grows on you. Definitely one of the albums of the year.  (Source: independent.co.uk)

    Artist: Stanley Cowell
    Album: Live At Maybeck Recital Hall (Vol. 5)
    Label: Concord Jazz
    Year: 1990
    Genre: Jazz, Mainstream, Standards, (piano solo)
    Format, bitrate: FLAC
    Size: 310 MB (3 files)

    Playing at Maybeck Recital Hall before a small but attentive crowd seems to bring out the best in many pianists. Stanley Cowell performs a well-planned program of 14 selections on this 1990 CD. On a two-minute “Softly as in a Morning Sunrise,” Cowell runs through all twelve keys. He pays tribute to the stride-piano tradition on “Stompin’’ at the Savoy,” explores some bop, Latin-jazz (a transformed “Autumn Leaves”) and post bop music, plays “Jitterbug Waltz” in the style of Art Tatum, inteprets “Stella by Starlight” in 5/4 time and performs J.J. Johnson’‘s “Lament” with just his left hand. A very interesting recital.

    Artists: Kenny Drew Trio (with Philip Catherine and Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen)

    By the late 1970s, Kenny Drew had migrated to Europe, where he recorded extensively. This live trio date with the superb bassist Niels Pedersen and guitarist Phillip Catherine is worth looking for. “Django” opens with a lyrical Catherine acoustic solo before Drew and Pedersen take a bluesy detour. “Here’‘s That Rainy Day” is given a lengthy workout, while the leader’‘s “Sunset” opens with a meandering theme before evolving into a gentle ballad. The romping interplay within “Blues In the Closet” and “On Green Dolphin Street” close the performance with a flourish. ~Ken Dryden, All Music Guide

    Artists: Denny Zeitlin, Charlie Haden
    Album: Time Remembers One Time Once
    Label: ECM (ecm 1239)

    Genre: Jazz, Modern Creative (piano-bass duo)
    Format, bitrate: FLAC
    Size: ~220 MB incl. 3% recovery (2 files)
    AMG Rating: 4 Stars

    This recording may be out of print but it’‘s worth going out of your way to find. Zeitlin and Haden communicate beautifully throughout, with lyrical passages alternating with long, semi-abstract bass solos (particularly on the first cut, “Chairman Mao.”) The recording is done live in front of a small audience, with excellent production values (somewhat reminiscent of Oscar Peterson’‘s “Exclusively for My Friends” recordings for MPS in the sixties). Zeitlin is not very well known but has lately re-emerged as a very dynamic player in the Bill Evans/Fred Hersch/Mulgrew Miller tradition. (Source: Customer review at amazon.com)
