Tom Kennedy, Just For the Record

Tom Kennedy -][- Just For The Record –MP3– [Tom Kennedy Music, 2011] –

Bassist extraordinaire Tom Kennedy’s “Just For The Record” (his 3rd CD) is one of the most anticipated releases of 2011. Tom is best known for his work with Tania Maria, Bill Connors, Dave Weckl and Mike Stern. Weckl and Stern return the favor with their generous contributions to this new recording.

Sound wise, the CD covers many genres from Bop and Latin to Fusion and Funk with an allstar musician lineup: Tom Kennedy, acoustic, fretless and electric bass; Mike Stern, guitar; Dave Weckl, drums; Charles Blenzig, keyboards; Jay Oliver, keyboards; Sarina Suno, violin; Bob Albanese, keyboards & Nathan Childers, sax. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!!

Kenny Werner, Piano

“Perfection. 360 degrees of soul and science in one human being. My kind of musician.” – Quincy Jones

Kenny Werner, Me, Myself & I

“… an ebullient stylist … his solos start evenhandedly and become wooly rides into the darkness.” – The Village Voice

“From the melodic inversions of Bill Evans to the modal excursions of McCoy Tyner, Werner offers piano jazz that’s both intellectually stimulating and hard-driving.” – The Denver Post

For two nights in June 2011, Kenny Werner performed a rare solo piano gig at the Upstairs Jazz Bar & Grill as part of the Montreal Jazz Festival. While Werner, one of jazz’s most renowned improvising pianists, never planned to document the event, the sets were recorded – which has resulted in the sublime album Me, Myself & I on Justin Time Records. Writing in the liner notes, Werner reflects that the seven-track project “just might be the best piano playing I have done on record. And I mean that from all aspects including creativity and flow.” The repertoire of long-form journey music of unexpected turns and vistas ranges from such jazz standards as “‘Round Midnight,” “Blue in Green” and “Giants Steps,” to Joni Mitchell’s classic “I Had a King” and the pianist’s own gem, “Balloons.”
