Joshua Redman - 1993 - Wish

2011-07-16T13:41:00.000+02:00

Joshua Redman's sophomore effort found him leading a piano-less quartet that also included guitar great Pat Metheny and half of Ornette Coleman's trailblazing late-'50s/early-'60s quartet: acoustic bassist Charlie Haden and drummer Billy Higgins. One of the nice things about Redman is his ability to provide jazz interpretations of rock and R&B songs.

Aaron Parks - 2008 - Invisible Cinema

2011-07-13T10:35:00.000+02:00

For an artist not yet 25, Invisible Cinema is refreshingly fully formed—amongst the year's best releases, it represents one possible future of jazz. With plenty to appeal to long-term, open-minded jazz fans, Parks' incorporation of familiar reference points also makes it a good bet to attract younger listeners.

Mike Moreno - 2011 - First in Mind

2011-07-13T10:25:00.000+02:00

First in Mind boasts a sterling rhythm section and many high level performances, yet its success owes more to the overall sound, one both melodic and easy to digest—a quality that can, by now, be expected from any Moreno project.

Mike Moreno - 2008 - Third Wish

2011-07-13T10:12:00.000+02:00

Third Wish is the sophomore release by guitarist Mike Moreno, yet it sounds more like the umpteenth recording of a veteran who's been in the trenches for many years—cool, calm, and collected, with nothing to prove but the music itself. It encapsulates Moreno's persona: fluid precision, lyricism, distinct tonality, and modernistic playing.

TRACKS
1. I Have A Dream (Herbie Hancock)
2. Children Of The Night (Wayne Shorter)
3. Isotope (Joe Henderson)
4. Lush Life (Billy Strayhorn)

Avishai Cohen - 2007 - As Is... (live at Blue Note)

2011-07-11T10:09:00.006+02:00

"Smash," "Feediop," the ballad "Remembering" and an overlong "Caravan" (the one non-original) are featured in both formats while three songs are different. Cohen takes many solos and is always a prominent force in the ensembles. Pianist-keyboardist Sam Barsh and drummer Mark Guiliana communicate very well with Cohen while trumpeter Diego Urcola and tenor soprano saxophonist Jimmy Greene add plenty of fire during their guest appearances. The camera work is excellent for the DVD so one can equally enjoy hearing and seeing these skilled musicians at their best.

John Coltrane - 1964 - A Love Supreme

2011-07-11T09:37:00.000+02:00

"A Love Supreme" is generally considered to be among Coltrane's greatest works, as it melded the hard bop sensibilities of his early career with the free jazz style he adopted later.

Gerry Mulligan - 1994 - Dream of a Little Dream

2010-05-06T15:08:00.000+02:00

Baritonist Gerry Mulligan had at the time of this recording been a jazz giant for 45 years. His slightly bubbly baritone sound is glowingly displayed in this set of familiar tunes....he remains as graceful as ever.

Zoot Sims & Joe Pass - 1982 - Blues for Two

2010-05-05T12:20:00.000+02:00

Although guitarist Joe Pass recorded many unaccompanied solo albums, he made relatively few dates as part of a duo. This session with tenor-saxophonist Joe Pass works quite well because Zoot Sims was a natural swinger who did not need a full rhythm section to push him.

TRACKS

1. Blues For 2
2. Dindi
3. Pennies From Heaven
4. Poor Butterfly
5. What Did I Do to Be So Black and Blue
6. I Hadn't Anyone till You
