Clarence Penn, DALI IN COBBLE HILL

Clarence Penn -][- Dali In Cobble Hill -[Criss Cross, 2012]-

On his long-awaited follow-up to his critically lauded 1996 Criss Cross debut, Penn’s Landing, and the equally powerful Play-Penn, from 2001, master drummer-percussionist Clarence Penn presents Dali in Cobble Hill, a meditation on how the iconic Surrealist painter might have digested a stroll through Penn’s Brooklyn neighborhood.

The eight originals and two standards incorporate a variety of moods, flavors, and strategies that reflect Penn’s extensive activity as a sideman for jazz’ best-and-brightest over the past decades; his ensemble of grand master generational contemporaries Chris Potter on tenor saxophone and bass clarinet, Adam Rogers on guitar, and Ben Street on bass inhabit the stories, playing with deep imagination and virtuosic craft. -[Editorial Review | Amazon]-

Dr. Lonnie Smith, THE HEALER

Dr. Lonnie Smith -][- THE HEALER -[Pilgrimage Records, 2012]-

The great B3 organ master and conjurer of sound, Doctor Lonnie Smith, has made some great studio recordings, but he’ll be the first to tell you that his music needs to be experienced live. The release of his brand new live recording The Healer marks the Doctor’s first live recording since his landmark 1970 album Live At Club Mozambique. It showcases the great bandleader reinventing the possibilities of sound along with two young stars – guitarist Jonathan Kreisberg and drummer Jamire Williams.

The Healer puts the listener front row center at a wild ride of a show that seamlessly blends jazz, fusion, hip hop, world music, and of course the B3 funk that Doc helped create. It also marks the launch of Pilgrimage Records, the good doctor’s new completely artist controlled record label. -[Editorial Review | Amazon]-

“I revere Duke Ellington, but I didn’t want this to be a reverent album,” Joe Jackson says of The Duke, his new tribute to American jazz giant Ellington.

Joe Jackson, THE DUKE

Joe Jackson -][- THE DUKE –Mp3– [Razor & Tie Label, 2012] –

True to Jackson’s word, The Duke is a decidedly unconventional salute to Ellington, demonstrating the timeless brilliance of his classic compositions while showcasing Jackson’s sublime skills as an arranger, instrumentalist and vocal interpreter. Although it’s only the second time he’s recorded an album not comprised of his own compositions, The Duke is nonetheless a deeply personal project for Jackson, whose longstanding affinity for Ellington’s pioneering spirit has served as a key inspiration throughout his own three-decades-plus career.

Melody Gardot, THE ABSENCE

Melody Gardot -][- THE ABSENCE –Mp3– [Verve Music, 2012] –

The Absence is the third record from Grammy-nominated Melody Gardot. Produced by Heitor Pereira, renowned for his work as a film composer (Despicable Me, It’s Complicated, From Prada to Nada) and world-class session guitarist (Sting, Seal, Caetano Veloso), the Brazilian-born, US-based artist shared Melody’s enthusiasm for driving off the beaten path of Western pop, jazz, blues and soul. And he was as adventurous as Melody when it came to inventive sonic ideas.

From the deserts of Morocco to the streets of Lisboa, from the tango bars of Buenos Aires to the beaches of Brazil, The Absence captures the essence of each of these exotic locales, while at the same time remaining quintessentially Melody Gardot. -[Album Description]-
