Bobby Hutcherson, Somewhere In The Night

New York City is the jazz capital of the world and Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola in Jazz at Lincoln Center is one of the music’s greatest venues. On October 10, 2009, over the course of two sold-out sets, legendary vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson recorded what would become Somewhere In The Night. The album, which is being released on Kind of Blue Records on September 25, also features the Joey DeFrancesco Trio — guitarist Peter Bernstein and drummer Byron Landham as well as its organist namesake.

Harris, Sánchez & Scott, NINETY MILES Live at Cubadisco

Harris, Sánchez and Scott -][- Ninety Miles Live At Cubadisco –Mp3– [Concord Picante, 2012] –

Perhaps better than any politician or diplomat, musicians – especially jazz musicians, whose craft is in many ways an improvised form of communication – understand inherently that when we look at each other as individuals and focus on the similarities, the divide between us is actually very short – less than a hundred miles.

Vibraphonist Stefon Harris, saxophonist David Sánchez and trumpeter Christian Scott first crossed that divide on their acclaimed two-disc CD/DVD package, Ninety Miles, released June 21, 2011. Recorded during the same trip, their first and only live performance, Ninety Miles Live At Cubadisco, is set for special U.S. digital release September 25, 2012 (international release dates may vary) on Concord Picante.

Yuhan Su, FLYING ALONE

Yuhan Su -][- FLYING ALONE –Mp3– [Inner Circle Music, 2012]

In many ways, Yuhan Su represents the voice of the new generation of jazz musicians. Though she is firmly rooted in jazz tradition, her music is innovative, emotional, cerebral and most importantly, always lyrical. Her compositions and improvisations are uniquely hers, marked with an amalgamation of complexity, intensity and emotional resonance. And though she is capable of blistering technique, she always maintains a sense of melodic lyricism and wonder in her playing. Continue reading →

Chick Corea and Gary Burton -][- HOT HOUSE – [Concord Jazz, 2012] –

Chick Corea and Gary Burton, HOT HOUSE

Chick Corea and Gary Burton -][- HOT HOUSE – [Concord Jazz, 2012] –

Pianist Chick Corea and vibraphonist Gary Burton became a collaborative team almost by accident. Their first musical encounter took place at a jazz festival in Germany in 1972, when they performed together in a spur-of-the-moment encore. The results were so satisfying not only to the audience but to the artists themselves that the two musicians reconvened in a recording studio a couple months later to record the intricate yet highly melodic Crystal Silence, their first of several collaborative studio projects.

MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST WARREN WOLF TO RELEASE SELF-TITLED DEBUT ALBUM ON MACK AVENUE RECORDS – AUGUST 16

RISING STAR IS JOINED BY STELLAR LINEUP,
INCLUDING MENTOR CHRISTIAN MCBRIDE

LISTEN TO EXCLUSIVE STREAMING TRACKS FROM THE ALBUM

WARREN WOLF

It’s no exaggeration to state that the release of Warren Wolf, the eponymous debut album for Mack Avenue Records by Warren Wolf, will make it as apparent to jazz fans as it already is to jazz insiders that the 31-year-old vibraphonist is the next major voice on his instrument. Joined by a unit of authoritative swingers (bassist Christian McBride, pianist Peter Martin, drummer Greg Hutchinson, alto and soprano saxophonist Tim Green, and, on two tracks, trumpeter Jeremy Pelt), Wolf offers a ten-piece program that admirably represents his singular blend of efflorescent chops, muscular attack, lyric sensibility, harmonic acumen, encyclopedic knowledge of hardcore jazz vocabulary, tireless groove and downright musicality.

“I’m trying to bring forth what most cats did back in the day, coming out right at you swinging, nice and hard, not a lot of hard melodies or weird time signatures,” Wolf says. “I like to play really hard, fast and kind of flashy. I like to take it to a whole other level.” Continue reading →

“This trio truly sizzles with virtuosity and creativity. Tim, Geoffrey and Joe make an amazing trio.” —Chick Corea

Storms Nocturnes Trio - VIA

Storms/Nocturnes Trio -][- VIA –Mp3– [Origin Records, 2011]

With VIA, the third album by the chamber jazz trio Storms/Nocturnes, British saxophone legend Tim Garland, world leading vibraphone virtuoso Joe Locke and recent Grammy nominee, pianist Geoffrey Keezer, create a unique three-way dialogue of captivating, immersive music. Bringing their different styles and backgrounds together, they create music which can be spacious or immensely complex, delicate but often approaching orchestral depth, and collectively find their way into a new mood or feel before the listener knows they have left the old one.

Their spontaneous interaction, the dovetailing, the assertion of contrasting yet mutually supportive roles are all taken to a new level on this recording. This enduring international alliance of Jazz giants is celebrating its tenth anniversary with this album and concerts throughout Europe and the U.S.

For more information about the Trio, visit www.stormsnocturnes.com/ and listen to samples of this extraordinary recording. Continue reading →
