Earl Hines: Piano Genius At Work (7CDs/DVD)

Earl Hines: Piano Genius At Work (7CDs/DVD)

Earl Hines is often named the “Father of Modern Jazz Piano” and not without good reason. He was a Piano pioneer, not only in excelling and exercising his mastery of harmony and rhythm in solos, but in establishing the Piano as an important member of any jazz ensemble. The trumpet-style phrasing Hines formed a close creative unit with Louis Armstrong all the while being a band leader and extravagant reformer: Never afraid to go beyond known borders and challenge the listener’s ear. This 7 CD plus one DVD box set features solo sessions from Hines ’ early days in 1928 and up to 1974 in New York and Chicago, 1948 radio broadcasts from Blue Note in Chicago with Louis Armstrong and his All Stars, a series of 1954 through 1955 live recordings from the infamous Club Hangover in San Francisco, 1954 collaborations with the Muggsy Spanier All Stars, numerous 1959 recordings with the Earl Hines Quartet from London House in Chicago and on the DVD, a 1970 take of Earl Hines solo on Piano and Vocal. In the detailed liner notes, Dan Morgenstern writes: “ Hines endures, and this collection is a fine representation of his art and craft ”.

Frank Rosolino: In Copenhagen

Frank Rosolino: In Copenhagen

Frank Rosolino managed to squeeze in trips abroad for specific tours. In the Summer of 1978 he did what was to be his last solo tour in Europe. He came to Copenhagen late in August to play at Slukefter in the Tivoli Gardens which is where the present CD was recorded. He was backed by Thomas Clausen Trio and with no restrictions on length of performances the quartet was allowed to expand the chosen pieces. Blue Daniel was Frank?s best known composition. It has the unusual chorus length of 14 bars. Waltz For Diane is played in waltz time. There is plenty of fast slide work here. How About You? Is nicely relaxed and serves as a prelude to a marathon blues performance using Thelonious Monk?s Straight No Chaser as the theme. There Is No Greater Love uses short, punching phrases during the solo to add impetus.

Clark Terry/Ernie Wilkins: Live At Montmartre

Clark Terry/Ernie Wilkins: Live At Montmartre

This previously unreleased music was recorded live by the Danish Radio at the famous jazz club Montmartre, in Copenhagen, in June, 1975. The CD consists of 7 tracks (69 min.), and the repertoire is a round blending of blues, standards and modern jazz, including tunes like Garner?s ?Misty?, ?Bye Bye Blackbird?, Ellington?s ?Satin Doll?, and ?The Theme?. Since Clark Terry and Ernie Wilkins had been close friends ? privately and musically ? since their childhood in St. Louis, there is a special communication and relaxed cohesiveness in their playing, not least of all because of their years together in the Count Basie Orch. Ernie Wilkins is best known for his great talents as composer and arranger for big bands - especially Count Basie and countless jazz singers - while Clark Terry is a premier trumpeter and flugelhorn player, famous as a soloist and as side-man in Count Basie?s Orch. The band on this CD was on a European tour at the time of this Montmartre gig, and were a tight, relaxed unit, featuring a fabulous rhythm section (Horace Parlan, Mads Vinding and Bjarne Rostvold), plus two star guests ? Richard Boone and Dexter Gordon.Two of the highlights on the CD are a 15-min. version of ?Bye-Bye Blackbird? and a swinging and very funny blues, where, believe it or not, Richard Boone, Dexter Gordon and Clark Terry do some singing. High professionalism and a relaxed, good feeling make this first-time release a perfect tribute to two old friends from St. Louis, who are two of the top names in modern jazz today.

Peter Almqvist: My Sound

Peter Almqvist: My Sound

Here Peter Almqvist plays solo jazz guitar, ac-companying himself on some tracks with over-dubbed rhythm guitar and over-dubbed solos. The tunes are basically classic jazz standards, many of which are played with a Brazilian/Latin feeling. Peter Almqvist has for many years been one of Sweden's top jazz guitarists. His playing is very fluid and tasteful. His technical mastery of the guitar here is impressive, and his deep feeling for and understanding of ? both jazz and Brazilian music is truly a joy to hear. This is a session which is very relaxed, and at the same time intense!

Ulf Meyer/Martin Wind: Kinnings

Ulf Meyer/Martin Wind: Kinnings

This 61 minute CD (11 tunes) was recorded in Hamburg in Oct. 2002. The band is comprised of four top European musicians - three Germans and one Dane. Half of the tunes are original compositions, the rest are older jazz standards ("Do You Know What it Means to Miss New Orleans" and Duke Ellington's "Ain't Got Nothing But the Blues"), and newer jazz standards ("Groove Merchant"), also including some latin inspiration ("O Grande Amor"). Guitarist Ulf Meyer has a fine, flowing feel, sometimes reminiscent of Pat Metheny. Alex Riel, from Denmark, is one of the best and most famous drummers in Europe today. The four musicians on this CD are highly compatible, making the music sound effortless and relaxed.

Ben Webster/Buck Clayton: Ben & Buck

Ben Webster/Buck Clayton: Ben & Buck

Ben & Buck was recorded live at Antwerp Jazz Club, Café Samson, Antwerp, Belgium in June 1967. All the material in this exciting album is previously unissued. It is a rare opportunity to hear two swing era giants together in a relaxed club setting for a programme of Jazz standards and quality ballads.  This recording also represents a meeting of two great jazz traditions; Ben Webster first achieved fame as a star soloist with Duke Ellington Orchestra in the early 1940s and Buck Clayton was the featured trumpeter with Count Basie’s Big Band from 1936 to 1943. Both subsequently followed freelance careers and their musical paths crossed infrequently, making this release an especially valuable musical document.

Don Byas: Featuring Sir Charles Thompson

Don Byas: Featuring Sir Charles Thompson

Live 1967 quartet session from Switzerland. The concert consists of ten classic jazz standards, played in the be-bop/mainstream jazz style to a clearly appreciative audience. They are all tunes which Byas and Thompson played when they worked together on various occasions during the 40?s and 50?s. Both Don Byas and Sir Charles Thompson worked with Coleman Hawkins early in their musical careers, and went on to be important proponents of the revolutionary be-bop style. Their style and ideas were wonderfully compatible, as can be heard in this relaxed reunion from 1967. While late in his career, Byas was at the peak of his powers. Some of the absolute best ballad-playing of Byas? career can be heard here on Loverman, Gone With The Wind and Tenderly.

Wild Bill Davidson: In Copenhagen

Wild Bill Davidson: In Copenhagen

This is the best CD Wild Bill Davidson has recorded in Denmark, due in part to the choice of material, with its avoidance of Dixieland war horses. Davidson is in excellent form throughout, blasting out powerful solos in Am I Blue, Ghost Of A Chance, and Memories Of You, which combine some of his familiar effects with unexpected melodic twists. But Beautiful and Here?s That Rainy Day show Davidson at his most restrained, his solo work on the latter being particular sensitive. It is hard to believe that he was in his sixty-ninth year at the time of this recording, for there is no hint of advancing age here. Wild Bill Davidson is truly an original stylist, with an approach to his work that recalls a long past rumbustious era.

Duke Ellington: Treasury Shows Vol. 10

Duke Ellington: Treasury Shows Vol. 10

The music on these two CD?s (51 tunes) has never been released before. The music is taken from 4 radio broadcasts in New York City in 1945 ? part live and part in the radio studio. Aside from providing great big band jazz for the radio audience, the point of these broadcasts was also for Duke Ellington to sell war bonds in the final year of World War II. The repertoire consists mostly of well-known Ellington numbers, plus a few rarities. These radio broadcasts are particularly important because commercial studio recordings were banned during World War II. One tune on CD 2 ? "I Miss Your Kiss", featuring the great trombone work of Lawrence Brown ? was never recorded commercially. Other highpoints are Johnny Hodges? smooth alto sax on "Mood to be Wooed", and Rex Stewart?s trumpet work on "Emancipation Celebration".

'Wild' Bill Davison: But Beautiful

'Wild' Bill Davison: But Beautiful

Wild Bill Davison had been a professional musician for close to twenty years before his name became well known to jazz followers. Born in Defiance, Ohio, on January 5th, 1906, he played banjo guitar and mandolin before switching to cornet and mellophone. Davison did appear in some respects an archetypal figure of the "roaring twenties," both in his musical style and his way of life. His playing is mainly extroverted, direct and powerful, incorporating a variety of tonal slurs and rasps. In a Dixieland setting, Davison's work can sometimes be quite predictable, but he can play ballads with considerable sensitivity and melodic flair, as the present disc amply demonstrates. The passing of years is particular hard on brass players, yet the power of Davison's work is clearly undiminished on this album as his solo on Am I Blue, I'm Confessin' and Memories Of You quickly reveal.

Louis Armstrong: In Chicago 1962

Louis Armstrong: In Chicago 1962

In this live concert session, In Chicago: 1962 , Louis Armstrong performs a crowd-pleasing set, packed with the “greatest hits” spanning his entire career. The listener is given an all-round impression of the entertainer, vocalist and Trumpet player. This version of Louis Armstrong’s All Stars includes three veterans, trombonist Trummy Young, pianist Billy Kyle and drummer Danny Barcelona; and two relative newcomers, clarinettist Joe Darensbourg and bassist Billy Conk. Clowning and entertaining aside, there is plenty of fine music on this CD, especially with the swinging Piano playing of Billy Kyle and tasteful Trombone work of Trummy Young – both of whom compliment Louis beautifully throughout, and deliver some great solos. Of course, there is also plenty of brilliant Trumpet work, as well as moving Vocals. When the music finally ends, the listener is left wondering if there would ever have been jazz music without Louis Armstrong .

Art Tatum Live: Volume Nine 1944-1952

Art Tatum Live: Volume Nine 1944-1952

This CD, the ninth in the series, consists entirely of previously unreleased material from 1944, 1945 and 1952. The tunes include solo piano, duo, trio and large orchestra accompaniment. The music itself was recorded at radio broadcasts, at an after hours club in LA and even at Art's own home. The repertoire is basically 'standard Tatum' which includes Blue Skies, Jitterbug Waltz and Tea For Two. Besides playing piano on all tracks, Tatum also occasionally sings and talks about the music he's playing. Art Tatum was possibly the greatest American jazz pianist of all time - his harmonic daring, rhythmic ingenuity, incredibly precise timing and overall inventiveness have never been equaled. Tatum's music is constantly taking unexpected twists and turns but at the same time is very musical and, in spite of his often breakneck tempo, logical and relaxed. The musical genius in evidence here means that new insights are gained every time you listen to this amazing CD.Featuring Slam Stewart on bass and The Alan Roth Orchestra with strings.

Carsten Dahl: A Good Time

Carsten Dahl: A Good Time

Carsten Dahl is known for his work as jazz oriented pianist, but he is a musician and composer that moves unimpeded from the bebop tradition via completely free improvisation to classical music. Carsten Dahl is, without a doubt, among this century's greatest pianists. Solo piano is very important to Dahl , a challenge where he finds the greatest potential to work with space and time, to create music that relates to the moment. It’s for his two solo albums that he’s received the DMA Jazz Prize for Best Record in 2004 and 2011. Here he takes inspiration from both classical pianist Glenn Gould and jazz pianists like Keith Jarrett , Bill Evans and Bud Powell; cultivating improvisation in extreme situations. There are also clear inspirations from contemporary music and different world regions and folk music - one of very few people able to bring together many global inspirations into one comprehensive personal expression with a clear artistic signature. A Good Time , by Carsten Dahl , features 8 tracks by the Piano master.

Willie 'The Lion' Smith: Live Zurich Switzerland

Willie 'The Lion' Smith: Live Zurich Switzerland

The music on this double-CD (19 tunes, 1hour 45 min.) has never been previously released; it was recorded live in Zurich, Switzerland in 1949. Although normally a solo performer, Willie "The Lion" Smith performs here in a trio setting. The repertoire includes original compositions, Fats Waller and Clarence Williams tunes, Gershwin, blues and traditional jazz classics, spirituals, and even Chopin?s "Polonaise". Smith employs a unique blend of ragtime, impressionism and counterpoint, while combining subtle, melodic lines with intense swing. Here is "live" proof that Willie "The Lion" Smith was one of the most original, humorous and unpredictable jazz pianists of the 20th Century, as well as possibly the best "stride" pianist ever. Smith and the trio are in an instant groove from the very first tune of this 105 minute-long concert, and they never stop swinging. Smith never uses clichés - even very well-known tunes sound fresh and new. This CD is a must for all Willie "The Lion" Smith fans; Smith, himself, says of the music: "This was a very good concert. We played for each other and together and were perfectly relaxed".

Duke Jordan: In Copenhagen

Duke Jordan: In Copenhagen

Duke Jordan settled down in Copenhagen in the autumn of 1973 and remained here to his death. He was mainly known for his work with Charlie Parker. The idea for this solo CD came about when he played at the Elsinore Jazz Festival in1992. The session was taped but the sound was not very good, so he recorded the whole session over again in a studio in Copenhagen and the result you can hear on this CD. Duke was a very good composer and he plays 6 of his own compositions on the CD.

Horace Parlan: In Copenhagen

Horace Parlan: In Copenhagen

A European tour with Miriam Makeba in 1970 had brought Parlan to Copenhagen, where four off-days gave him time to look around the city. He liked what he saw and two years later he settled down in Copenhagen. Horace Parlan enjoys playing solo Piano ? but hasn?t had the chance to do it all that often. Parlan?s aim in making this CD was to give highly personal interpretations of compositions which he has cherished over the years but which have not been over-recorded. He says: "I am not a Tatum ? I have to make the material fit my particular style and I spent quite a bit of time working on the arrangement. I wanted to do a reflective CD ? no racehorse tempos, no pyrotechnics ? and also make the harmonic structures as interesting as possible."

Jim Hall: Jazzpar Quartet + 4

Jim Hall: Jazzpar Quartet + 4

There has been growing interest, increased mention in the world's media and the realization that the Danish jazz scene has given something of great value (and not only financially) to the international community. Jim Hall's work has covered more than 40 years and evokes past associations with people such as Chico Hamilton, Jimmy Giuffre, Sonny Rollins and Art Farmer, and the fact that they had some of their most interesting and unusual groups when Jim Hall happened to be in them. What these great artists (and many more) find in Hall is an artist of great sensitivity and intelligence, to whom the idea of co-operation is second nature but whoose approach is completely individual.

Carsten Dahl: Dreamchild

Carsten Dahl: Dreamchild

Carsten Dahl, one of Scandinavia?s most sought after pianists, is now ready with a new, inspired album of improvisational jazz. ?Dreamchild? is different from Dahl?s earlier works. With a meditative approach his goal was to convey the childlike ability to completely immerse oneself in the moment. According to Dahl, this state of wonder and curiosity is harder to achieve as an adult ? but through these unique improvisations the listener is invited into this melodious place.This is a more personal piece of work from Carsten Dahl, so it is only natural that the only other contributors on the album are his own daughters ? Anne Sofie Abildskov Dahl on violin and Celina Sørine Dahl on piano.

Rodney Green: Live at Montmatre (CD)

Rodney Green: Live at Montmatre (CD)

New live recording from the legendary Jazzhus Montmartre in the heart of Copenhagen. This time with Rodney Green Quartet and Warren Wolf on vibraphone. The recordings on this release are chosen from three terrific evenings at Montmartre in February 2016. Christian Brorsen, Music Director at Montmartre 2011-2016, says: “Dexter Gordon said it himself when he returned to the United States after 14 years in Copenhagen: “ I miss the American drummers.” If you have been lucky enough to experience one of them live, you know why. Among the masterful drummers who have visited Montmartre in the course of time, we find the likes of Art Blakey, Art Taylor, Ed Thigpen and Billy Higgins. Rodney Green belongs to a new generation of great drummers. Brought up by elite musicians such as Mulgrew Miller and Charlie Haden, he knows something about the nature of jazz and what it takes to perform on a level so few others are capable of. Rodney’s got it all: good taste, a dazzling technique, and a formidable beat ”. For Rodney Green, the music always comes first. It all looks so simple when he’s sitting there, behind the drum set. There’s no showing off, but it always sounds incredibly good, so there’s a good reason why he is so much in demand. Simplicity and authenticity also underpinned these three terrific evenings at Montmartre, where he was asked to put together a quartet of musicians who, like himself, are capable of being present in the moment, doing away with long rehearsals. “ As far as I’m concerned, real jazz musicians must be able to meet and play without discussions or long rehearsals, and just let their instruments speak ,” says Green. And that is how these sessions unfolded at Montmartre, to the delight of an enthusiastic audience who couldn’t get enough of this ardent quartet of musicians that, besides Rodney Green, comprised Danish pianist Jacob Christoffersen and American bassist David Wong. Together the three laid a hard-swinging foundation for Warren Wolf´, also from the U.S. and possibly the greatest vibraphone virtuoso ever.
