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 ”.

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".

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 .

'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.

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.

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.

Bill Sharpe/Jah Wobble: Kingdom Of Fitzrovia

Bill Sharpe/Jah Wobble: Kingdom Of Fitzrovia

A unique collaboration between two legends of Punk and Funk.

Bill Sharpe found fame with his jazz-funk band Shakatak in the early 1980s and still touring successfully now. Wobble and Sharpe were brought together by a shared love of Miles Davis, The Crusaders, Art Blakey and Weather Report. What started as an improvised jamming session developed into an album seeped in mutual enthusiasm.

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.

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.

Bob Brookmeyer: Old Friends

Bob Brookmeyer: Old Friends

Recorded at Copenhagen Jazz House, November 30, 1994. All titles previously unissued! Bob Brookmeyer was very pleased with this session, taped by the jazz department of the Danish Broadcast Corporation."I've played with this working trio of Thomas Clausen, Mads Vinding and Alex Riel many times. We're old friends and the fact that we are so familiar with each other's approaches certainly makes all the difference. I feel these performances are very representative of our work. They are truly the cream of those sessions. The tunes, with one exception, are old popular standards which are great to play on. I've recorded them at other times and in different contexts and it was good to get back to them for detailed exploration in this intimate setting."

Duke Ellington: The Treasury Shows Vol. 2

Duke Ellington: The Treasury Shows Vol. 2

Here is the patriotic Duke Ellington And His Famous Orchestra performing weekly radio broadcasts in 1945 (plus one from 1943) to help sell U.S. war bonds and boost the public's morale. These 55 minute weekly programs gave Ellington a wide choice of material to perform, including older work, new material, pop tunes, instrumentals & vocals, and extended works. The band's line up at this time was outstanding, featuring great performances by soloists such as Ray Nance, Lawrence Brown, Johnny Hodges, Ben Webster , and vocalists Joya Sherrill, Kay Davis and Al Hibbler . The excitement and seamless professionalism of Ellington's orchestra of the mid 1940's is in abundant evidence throughout the two hours’ worth of music on this double CD compilation. The sound quality is also surprisingly good.

Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen: The Bass In The Background

Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen: The Bass In The Background

Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen, known to the world as simply NHOP, was a Danish virtuoso Bassist who mostly played in bop-oriented jazz settings. Renowned around the world for his masterful technique and dedication to furthering the instrument, his sudden death in 2005 was a shock to the whole Jazz community. The Bass In The Background contains a great selection of Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen's work, covering thirty years from 1962-1992. This is a terrific CD that demonstrates exactly why NHOP was one of the best bassists in the world, whilst also commemorating his life. Besides well established Danish artists such as Svend Asmussen, Bent Jaedig and Alex Riel, collaborations with Kenny Brew, Ben Webster, Dexter Gordon, Ed Thigpen and Stuff Smith can be heard, to name but a few!

Zoot Sims: In Copenhagen

Zoot Sims: In Copenhagen

Danish Radio recorded these tracks live at the Slukefter Club in Copenhagen?s Tivoli Garden on August 24 1978. Saxophonist Zoot Sims visited Denmark a few times and on this occasion he had one of the greatest house trios of all time ? Kenny Drew (piano), Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen (bass) and Ed Thigpen (drums) ? world renowned for the backing they gave to many American giants who were so well supported on their visits to Denmark. Their eloquence, like Zoot?s, speaks for itself. Pianist Jimmy Rowles, who played in Zoot?s quartet, went to some trouble to work up a library of lesser known songs which would suit the tenorist and In The Middle Of A Kiss, included on this CD, is one of the ones he chose.

'Champion' Jack Dupree: Barrelhouse Blues & Boogie Woo

'Champion' Jack Dupree: Barrelhouse Blues & Boogie Woo

In Chicago of the '30s and 40s and in the post-war West Coast jump scene the piano was arguably the blues instrument par excellence, but by the mid-to-late '50s work for pianists in the domestic blues front was becoming increasingly scarce. Around the same time, however, a new professional avenue was opening, with the stirrings of a ?blues revival" in European folk and trad. -Jazz scenes, where pianists were appreciated more for their mastery of older styles than their ability to adapt to newer commercial trends. While the European market wasn't of a grand scale, its attractions - both financial and social - are perhaps best illustrated by the fact that many great pianists chose to stay in Europe, among them three we find in this CD series - Champion Jack Dupree, Memphis Slim and Eddie Boyd.

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.

Martial Solal: Contrastes

Martial Solal: Contrastes

Born to a family of French settlers in Algiers in 1927, Martial Solal began studying the piano at the age of seven with his mother and after playing locally, he moved to Paris in 1950. Making an immediate impact he began recording under his own name in 1953. Since then Martial Solal has not only continued to grow musically, but has also collaborated successfully on the international level with such as Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen, John Scofield a.o. Everything that applies to Solal's keyboard playing also influences his virtuoso writing for big-band which, apart from the fact that it frequently leaves space for the composer's piano is identifiably the work of the same musical mind. Now that the Jazzpar Prize has again brought him to the attention of both his fellow-countrymen and the rest of the jazz world, it's an opportune moment to study Solal's contribution.

Rolf Billberg: Rare Danish Recordings

Rolf Billberg: Rare Danish Recordings

The 75 min. of music on this CD (15 tunes) are comprised of six sessions recorded in studios in Copenhagen during 1956-66 - the last ten years of Rolf Billberg's life. Accompanying Swedish alto saxophonist Billberg on these sessions are the best of the modern Scandinavian jazz musicians of the time, including Lars Gullin, Jørgen Ryg, Atli Bjørn, William Schiöpffe and Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen. The repertoire includes a spiritual, jazz standards, be-bop favorites and two of Billberg's own compositions. Some of the music on this CD has never been previously released. Rolf Billberg was one of the absolute most prominent Scandinavian jazz musicians of the 50's and 60's. Billberg was a unique individualist, contrasting burning lyricism with cool distance in his style of playing - a style influenced mainly by Charlie Parker and Lee Konitz. All the tunes on this CD - from "Ol' Man River" to "Opus De Funk" - present brilliant work by Billberg. Rolf Billberg characterized Scandinavian modern jazz in the sixties. Listen to this CD and enjoy Scandinavian modern jazz at its best!
