Norm Stockton - TEA IN THE TYPHOON

Norm Stockton -][- TEA IN THE TYPHOON -(MP3)- [Stocktones Music, 2009]

Featuring stellar guest artists including Gregg Bissonette, John Patitucci, Lincoln Brewster, Michael Manring, Etienne Mbappe and many others, this 12-tune collection takes the next step in the exhilarating musical journey that was Norm’s acclaimed Pondering the Sushi solo debut. Eight of the songs are original compositions spanning jazz, fusion, funk, rock, classical and West African influences. Also included are fresh arrangements of U2’s classic, “Sunday Bloody Sunday”, Sondheim’s timeless standard, “Send In The Clowns”, and Norm’s solo rendition of J.S. Bach’s “Jesu, Joy Of Man’s Desiring”.

The making of Tea In The Typhoon was an incredible experience for me. Several of the tune ideas came from audio sketchpads dating back to shortly after the release of Pondering the Sushi back in 2001! Inspiration for others came as recently as early 2009, shortly before production began. It was such a gratifying thing to hear the profoundly gifted players on this project bring the music to life.

Huge thanks to each of you for your interest and support of my music over the years! I’m so grateful and humbled. I hope you enjoy Tea In The Typhoon…” —Norm Stockton | Album Notes

FIRST TRIO ALBUM IN TEN YEARS FEATURES GREEN’S LONG-TIME PARTNERS, PETER WASHINGTON (BASS) & KENNY WASHINGTON (DRUMS)

LISTEN TO EXCLUSIVE STREAMING TRACKS FROM SOURCE

Benny Green - SOURCE

The dynamic and exuberant pianist Benny Green pays tribute to the great pianists and composers he grew up listening to, in an energetic and swinging, 10-piece collection titled Source (Jazz Legacy Productions). Featuring Green’s trio-mates, bassist Peter Washington, and drummer Kenny Washington, Source includes compositions by Bud Powell, Sonny Clark, Carl Perkins, Kenny Drew, Duke Pearson and Horace Silver. Remarkably, this is Green’s first recording as a leader since his duo date with Russell Malone, Bluebird, in 2004, and his first trio recording since 2000, Naturally, when his band comprised Malone and bassist Christian McBride.

Source was largely set into motion when Green and the two Washingtons were getting reacquainted with each other in 2009 while on tour in Japan as the rhythm section for Japanese guitarist Satoshi Inoue. While Green had performed with Peter and Kenny many times over the years (for example, Peter played on Green’s debut album, Prelude, on Criss Cross in 1988, and Kenny played on Green’s 1996 Blue Note release The Place to Be), the tour made for a reunion of sorts.
