THE CHICK COREA SYMPHONY TRIBUTE. RITMO was recorded live back in July 2021 at the ADDA Auditorium in Alicante (Spain) during the FIJAZZ Festival. Conceived and produced by conductor/drummer JOSEP VICENT, ADDA Symphony Orchestra's Music Director, with arrangements by Latin Grammy Award Winner pianist and composer Emilio Solla, RITMO is a celebration of Chick Corea's music and it's tremendous influence in contemporary Jazz and it's fusion with Latin music. Featuring 5 times Grammy Award & 14 times Latin Grammy Award winner saxophonist PAQUITO D'RIVERA and flamenco singer and saxophonist ANTONIO LIZANA, RITMO is created for a full 80 piece Symphony Orchestra and jazz trio to produce "One of the most magnificent musical sounds that has ever existed" in the words of Chick Corea himself about Symphony Orchestras. 12 among the most iconic and remembered pieces of Corea's immense production are revisited, reconceived and exalted through the impressive sonority of The ADDA Symphony Orchestra of Spain and the inspiration of the extraordinary soloists. Paquito de Rivera said about the project: "We all love Chick's music, so the impeccable arranging work of Emilio, the quality and dedication of a very young and talented orchestra and conductor, plus the typical enthusiasm of the Spanish people at a magnificent auditorium, worked all to our advantage." 1 Spain 2 Children's Song No.1 3 Love Castle 4 Crystal Silence (Vocal Version) 5 Pixieland Rag 6 Leprechaun's Dream 7 My Spanish Heart 8 Children's Song No.14 9 Armando's Rhumba 10 Medley: Children's Song No.6 & No.20 11 El Bozo (Pt.

JOSHUA REDMAN MAKES BLUE NOTE DEBUT WITH FIRSTEVER VOCAL ALBUM "WHERE ARE WE" One of his most compelling albums to date, where are we is a musical journey across the United States of America that also marks Redman’s first-ever vocal album with the dynamic young singer Gabrielle Cavassa featured throughout along with a brilliant band comprised of pianist Aaron Parks, bassist Joe Sanders, and drummer Brian Blade. Redman notes that “the surface concept of where are we is rather simple: each of the songs on the album is about, or at least makes reference to, a specific geographical location (city or state or region) in the United States: Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Streets of Philadelphia,’ Count Basie’s ‘Going To Chicago,’ Rodgers & Hart’s ‘Manhattan,’ John Coltrane’s ‘Alabama,’ etc… So, on one level, this is an album ‘about’ America — at once a celebration and a critique. But it is also, to varying degrees, a ballads album, a standards album, an album of romantic longing, an album of social reflection, an album of melodic invention, an album of improvisational adventure, an album of mashups, perhaps even a tribute album of sorts.” For added perspective, Redman invited four other friends to contribute to the portraits of their native cities: guitarists Kurt Rosenwinkel (“Streets of Philadelphia”) and Peter Bernstein (“Manhattan”), trumpeter Nicholas Payton (“Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans?”), and Ross (“Chicago Blues”). 1.

Mingus, the album by Joni Mitchell from 1975 is the result of a 45-minute meeting arranged by Mingus's wife between Mitchell, who was drifting towards a style of music jazzier than her previous output and Charles Mingus. Mingus was sadly waiting to die from motor neurons disease. Unable to play, he was bored, and his wife was keen to get him interested in something. Mingus sang the melodies into a tape recorder, chords were added by Sy Johnson, and Joni wrote the lyrics and organised the recording sessions. The band on the album were members of Weather Report. Mingus died before the project was complete. To ensure enough material was ready for the album, Joni added a song of her own, "Wolf". The album was cooly received by admirers of both musicians. The album now has a cult status, especially among younger jazz musicians. Among them, British singer Imogen Ryall considers Mingus the foundation stone and springboard of her career. "A door opener for me" is how Imogen describes the original album. Her album is an affectionate tribute to these two great musicians whose collaboration produced an enigmatic album that challenged the critics and listeners of the day. Imogen's album offers three views of Mingus - "Chair in the Sky" captures him at the end. Wasting away but retaining an unrepentant good humour. "God Must Be a Boogie Man" is Joni having fun with the concept. "Self Portrait in Three Colours", originally a through composed instrumental ballad, to which Imogen adds her own thoughtful and perceptive lyrics. 1 Boogie Stop Shufffle 2 God Must Be a Boogie Man 3 A Chair in the Sky 4 Duke's Choice Interlude 5 The Wolf That Lives in Lindsey 6 Sweet Sucker Dance 7 I'sa Muggin Interlude 8 Self Portrait in Three Colours 9 Dry Cleaner from Des Moines 10 Better Git in Your Soul Interlude 11 Goodbye Pork Pie Hat
Michele Fischietti is a master musician from Italy who recorded his interpretations of some of the best songs written by Pat Metheny & Lyle Mays. He gathered these together to make this CD which is a tribute to those two writers. Playing most of the instruments himself, these tracks are exquisite. Also singing on a couple of these tracks is Aubrey Johnson who just happens to be the niece of Lyle Mays! You won't be disappointed with this excellent album.

DESCRIPTION CHARLES MINGUS / MINGUS - At the time of this recording, Mingus had been working regularly with the piano-less quartet of Eric Dolphy, Ted Curson and Dannie Richmond. The same group featured on the 1960 Candid release, Charles Mingus Presents Charles Mingus. The Mingus album, also recorded that year, features one track, "Stormy Weather," recorded with that same quartet, and two tracks recorded with a larger group featuring piano and additional horns. Of note, "MDM (Monk Duke & Me)" consumes the majority of this album. The piece consists of three intertwining themes - Duke Ellington's "Main Stem", Thelonious Monk's "Straight, No Chaser", and Mingus' "Fifty First Street Blues." Released in 1961, and recorded in the fall of 1960 by Candid A&R and Producer Nate Hentoff at the Nola Penthouse Sound Studios. The LP includes extraordinary liner notes written by Hentoff, giving a context and insight that adds to the experience of hearing these magnificent performances.
DESCRIPTION Live archive release. In August of 1961, the John Coltrane Quintet played an engagement at the legendary Village Gate in Greenwich Village, New York. Eighty minutes of never-before-heard music from this group were recently discovered at the New York Public Library. In addition to some well-known Coltrane material ("Impressions"), there is a breathtaking feature for Dolphy's bass clarinet on "When Lights Are Low" and the only known non-studio recording of Coltrane's composition "Africa", from the Africa/Brass album. 1 Evenings at the Village Gate : My Favorite Things [Live] 2 Evenings at the Village Gate : When Lights Are Low [Live] 3 Evenings at the Village Gate : Impressions [Live] 4 Evenings at the Village Gate : Greensleeves [Live] 5 Evenings at the Village Gate : Africa [Live]
DESCRIPTION The soulful sounds of the saxophone played by multi-Grammy-winning Branford Marsalis pairs perfectly with the evocative works of British composer Sally Beamish and Mahler. Led by Eric Jacobsen with the Virginia Symphony Orchestra, this album delivers the songful melancholy of the Mahler songs, played by Marsalis, combined with the freneticism and imagery of Sally Beamish's two rarely heard works, brought to a center stage.
Nina Simone - "You've Got To Learn" - The Newport Jazz Festival had always brought the best out of Nina Simone. On July 2, 1966, the audience was treated to the full range of her artistry-from the opener, a breathtaking version of "You've Got To Learn" to a swinging take on "Mississippi Goddam". After a sustained standing ovation, her fans were rewarded with the show-stopping encore, "Music For Lovers". This previously unreleased recording makes it clear why hearing Nina Simone in concert was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Originalmente lanzado en 1989, el primer álbum de Protocol se convirtió en el prototipo de otros cuatro increíbles discos de jazz/fusión que aparecieron más de 20 años después. Estas pistas son las demos originales en las que Simon tocó todos los instrumentos. (¡El sonido de su teclado podría recordarte a cierto Jan Hammer!) Se agregaron partes de guitarra en solo tres canciones. Posteriormente, varios músicos utilizarían estas demos como guías para reinterpretar el material en futuras grabaciones de Protocol. Aunque este álbum estuvo disponible como parte del set de 6 CD de Simon en 2019, esta es la primera vez que se reedita como un CD independiente. (¡Y sí, es diferente a la versión de streaming, con 5 pistas adicionales!) Protocol viene en un hermoso paquete de 6 paneles, completo con notas técnicas y fotos antiguas del maestro mismo.

Considerado uno de los mejores músicos del mundo, David Sancious fue miembro fundador de la E Street Band de Bruce Springsteen; realizó giras y grabaciones con Peter Gabriel, Sting, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Santana, Seal y una larga lista de músicos de nivel A; y creó música innovadora con su propia banda, Tone. Sancious grabó su álbum más ambicioso, Dance of the Age of Enlightenment, en 1976. Concebido como un ballet en cuatro movimientos, en el momento de la grabación la tecnología no permitía que los sintetizadores tocaran más de una nota a la vez. Para crear el sonido de un conjunto orquestal, cada parte de la orquestación tuvo que ser minuciosamente sobregrabada individualmente por Sancious en un sintetizador Moog. A pesar de la calidad de la música, la discográfica notificó a Sancious que el álbum no se publicaría. Aparte de los piratas, Dance of the Age of Enlightenment ha permanecido en la cámara acorazada... hasta ahora. Remasterizado a partir de las cintas originales bajo la supervisión de David Sancious. 1 Overture - Wake Up (To a Brand New Day of Love) 2 1st Movement (Dance of Glory and Playfulness) 3 2nd Movement (Dance of Purification) 4 The Dawn 5 3rd Movement: Part I/Part II (Dance of Unbounded Joy) 6 4th Movement (Dance of Serenity and Strength) 7 Finale: Part I (Gone Is the Veil of Illusion)/Part II (Dance of Gratitude and Devotion)
Two, a defining musical landmark in Bob James' career and his second solo album for producer Creed Taylor's CTI label, debuted in 1975 and charted at No. 28 in the Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums and No. 75 on The Billboard 200. The album contains the iconic "Take Me To The Mardi Gras," one of hip-hop's most recognizable breakbeats, sampled over 400 times. The album also features a dynamic jazz-meets-classical music mash-up ("Farandole"), a tasteful soul music cover ("You're As Right As Rain"), and memorable cinematic pieces ("Golden Apple" and "Dream Journey"). There is also the notable inclusion of a bonus track ("Here Let My Life"), which was previously only released in Japan. The album will be re-issued by evosound on the 21st of April 2023.
