Danny Green, A THOUSAND WAYS HOME

Danny Green -][- A THOUSAND WAYS HOME –Mp3– [Tapestry, 2012 | Review]

Occasionally when a new artist appears, they come armed with vivid yet unstrained recipe of melodies, creativity and impressive harmonics accompanied by a stellar cast of possibly unfamiliar musicians to expand their imaginative voice. Most recently San Diego native pianist, composer and educator Danny Green was brought to my attention. With his sophomore recordings titled “A THOUSAND WAYS HOME,” he effortlessly pens an appetizing hodgepodge of thirteen thought-provoking originals on Tapestry records.

The title piece “A THOUSAND WAYS HOME” opens the session with an engaging bounce, symmetry and flawless rhythms wrapped with an infectious samba evolving from within. Meanwhile the ensemble maintains their flawless dexterity by exchanging unswerving solos on a spunky tune appropriately titled “Unwind.” Continue reading →

Karl Jannuska, THE HALFWAY TREE

Karl Jannuska -][- THE HALFWAY TREE –Mp3– [PJU Records, 2012] –

THE HALFWAY TREE, a Manitoba (Canada) landmark, is a prominent cottonwood tree that stands out on the horizon along Highway 1 between Brandon and Winnipeg. It is also the name of Karl Jannuska’s fourth cd as a leader, which features the beautiful tones of one of Canada’s most talented vocalists, Sienna Dahlen. A collaboration that began four years ago, the repertoire is entirely comprised of the leader’s original compositions while both Karl and Sienna contributed to the lyric writing.

The music sits at the crossroads between several styles representing Karl’s eclectic tastes all the while remaining melodic and groovy. The band includes: Karl Jannuska (drums, compositions, lyrics), Sienna Dahlen (voice, lyrics), Olivier Zanot (alto sax), Nicolas Kummert (tenor sax), Pierre Perchaud (guitars), Tony Paeleman (piano/ Fender Rhodes) & Andrew Downing (5 string cello). -[Album Notes | CDBaby]-
