Mark O'Leary On The Shore review Gaz-eta
Mark O’Leary - On the Shore (CF 091)
I can’t remember a time over the past year that I was affected by a guitar player as much as the playing of Irish string-whiz Mark O’Leary. Though over the years, he’s released a number of solid records for Leo imprint, none have come close to what O’Leary achieves with “On The Shore”. Here, he’s able to create entire landscapes from scratch. When he’s surrounded by ace players - percussionist Alex Cline and trumpeters Jeff Kaiser and John Fumo - there’s a delicacy that is heard rummaging on the surface of the strings of his guitar. His playing is pensive but he’s never unsure of the direction he’s driving the band in. Though on first hearing, O’Leary’s playing may be mistaken for someone like John Abercrombie, on closer listen, one hears a distinct O’Leary style. He’s more forceful and at the same time, plays with more care and delicacy. Kaiser and Fumo work in tandem, trading off trumpet calls in a subtle way, while Cline is best when he resorts to using stones, sticks and shells in his percussive palette. Resulting music is quite moving, without resorting to clichés or working against odds at turning the listener onto something entirely new. The season of O’Leary is long upon us and “On The Shore” will stand as the cornerstone that pushes his music into un-chartered territories.

David Sanchez 'Cultural Survival' (Concord Picante) Released This Week
|
Posted by: eJazzNews Reader on Wednesday, May 14, 2008 - 09:07 AM |
|
The new culturally inspired album from from 4-time Grammy Award winning Jazz sax master David Snchez is now in stores.
Released this week (5.13.08) on Concord Picante, the album draws heavily on classic Jazz influences such as Miles Davis & John Coltrane, while fused with David's own distinct variety of Afro-Caribbean and Latin influences.
Cultural Survival features 8 straight ahead jazz tracks that showcase a new direction for Snchez as he debuts a piano-less quartet on all but three of the eight songs and the inclusion of guitar. Explaining Cultural Survival's intriguing title, Puerto Rican born Snchez says:"It's generally about the human condition. It started one day when I was just checking out the radio to find out what's going on in the world. You realize you're surrounded by a younger generation that seems a little unconscious, living in their own space, their own reality, and not being very conscientious about the world around them."

CD Reviews: Samuel Blaser Quartet - 7th Heaven

Posted by: editor on Monday, May 12, 2008 - 10:33 AM |

Glenn Astarita
CD-2008 Between the Lines
Trombonist Samuel Blaser’s debut outing as a leader has been spinning in my home stereo systems for several weeks. It’s one of those unanticipated surprises us reviewers receive in the mail every now and then. He’s a prestigious Fulbright scholar who has studied in the USA and abroad. At twenty-six years, Blaser communicates musical maturity that is far beyond the norm. A masterful technician and forward-thinking idea man, the trombonist conveys an uncanny manner of bridging dark, brooding passages with an overriding sense of vibrancy. Moreover, guitarist Scott Dubois looms as a near-flawless accomplice for the leader. They jab and dart amid blossoming storylines while often raising the ante in gradually ascending fashion.

CD Reviews: Cannon Re-Loaded - All-Star Celebration of Cannonball Adderley

Posted by: editor on Saturday, May 10, 2008 - 03:03 PM |

Glenn Astarita
CD-2008 Concord Music Group
One of the redeeming attributes of this album pertains to the all-star aggregation’s manner of capturing the aura of jazz legend and saxophonist Julian “Cannonball” Adderley. In the liners, saxophonist Tom Scott reminisces and sheds some light on Cannonball’s artistry and influence. Marked by a smooth, contemporary gait, the musicians execute spirited soloing jaunts atop all-universe drummer Steve Gadd’s in-the-pocket mode of attack, to round out the group-focused vibe.

CD Reviews: Mark Weinstein/Straight No Chaser/JH11671
|
Posted by: editor on Saturday, May 10, 2008 - 03:02 PM |
|
My man & jazz guitarist Dave Stryker is so easy to review. He's the 'real deal.' It follows therefore that all who hang out with
him on a musical level are artists-savants. Hott-damn, I'm right again! Jazz flute-ster Mark Weinstein has put together as close to a musically perfect jazz quartet as can be acquired. Track#7 'Invitation' exemplifies my assumption. Mark's group achieves the difficult task of attaining the aspect of being artistically authoritative as well as idiomatically diverse.........while 'covering it all' from bop to the cool.
This quartet is in a phrase a practitioner of mainstream jazz
with natural insights into its melodic & harmonic perspective.
Nuff said!

CD Reviews: Shirley Eikhard, “Riding On the 65”

By: Edward Blanco
Offering a special tribute to the increasingly popular Bossa Nova which celebrates its 50th year anniversary, veteran Canadian songwriter, vocalist and musician extraordinaire, Shirley Eikhard provides a masterpiece performance with “Riding on the 65,” her latest self-produced release that glows all over. A remarkable lady oozing with talent, Eikhard does it all here, and I mean ALL! She not only produces the album, writes the music, provides the vocals and directs the band, she IS the band. This recording is a one “women” operation as Eikhard plays all of the music heard on the CD.

CD Reviews: Eddie Allen - “Salongo”
|
Posted by: editor on Friday, May 09, 2008 - 10:56 PM |
|
By: Edward Blanco
Salongo is an expression from Zaire meaning, “We come together to create something beautiful out of love” and it also happens to be the name of the album and group that trumpeter/composer Eddie Allen has assembled in a very successful attempt to “create something beautiful.” Containing sizzling new charts and a fiery performance from the band, this self-titled CD just might be the best Latin jazz album of the year. Eddie Allen’s Salongo, a 7-piece Afro-Cuban/Brazilian light ensemble, propels a host of Brazilian and Latin rhythms to new levels of excitement.

Neil Young on Blu Ray
|
Posted by: editor on Thursday, May 08, 2008 - 08:34 AM |

You mean he's finally going to release his archival material?
We've been hearing about this since the seventies, how Neil Young is going to do this huge archival dump, ten albums...
But it never happened. And continues not to happen. Even though stories continue to circulate.
Now it appears to be for real. I don't think he's got the cojones to stand the guys at Sun up. To do this press conference and then punt, using his mystique as a cover.
Did you know that Neil Young was going to do these Blu-Ray discs?

Glenn Astarita
With her first release for ECM Records in over a decade, legendary vocalist Norma Winstone aligns her multifarious talents with a German-Italian duo for a jazz-chamber like stylization. Winstone’s albums with trumpeter/flugelhornist Kenny Wheeler and pianist John Taylor loom as minor-classic products within the modern jazz realm. And she’s recorded with large ensemble outfits, largely harmonizing with horns over the top amid numerous ventures that parlay her in-depth navigations of the jazz idiom.

Glenn Astarita
Twenty-three year old jazz pianist Taylor Eigsti is riding in the fast lane these days. With six solo efforts under his belt, and now his second release for Concord, the artist’s maturation process takes a huge leap here. Other than his laudable chops, he shines as a cunning arranger and composer. Moreover, Eigsti spins new slants on vintage gems and sly renditions of comps by Wayne Shorter and Pat Metheny. With shifting pulses and lyrically-resplendent thematic overtures, Eigsti enamors his line of attack with torrid bop grooves and whirlwind unison charts.
