Afro Bop Alliance, Una Más

Afro Bop Alliance -][- Una Más –Mp3– [QA2 Records, 2011] –

“Listening to the exquisite playing and arranging of the Afro Bop Alliance is always an experience. The mix they’ve achieved is so balanced you never feel the music is too Latin to be Jazz, or too Jazzy to be Latin.” –Paquito D’Rivera

The 2008 Latin Grammy Award winners for “Latin Jazz Album of the Year,” return with their all-star fueled big band for another powerful recording of dynamic new compositions. With special guests including Dave Samuels and Roberto Quintero, they perform works by Luis Perdomo, Hector Martignon, Dave Samuels, Mike Pope and Vince Norman.

Hadley Caliman - Straight Ahead

Hadley Caliman | “Straight Ahead” – [Origin 82551 – 2010]
From Dexter Gordon to Freddie Hubbard to Santana through to his recent critically-acclaimed “Gratitude,” Hadley Caliman’s 78 years has been filled with the kind of personal achievement that all creative artists strive for. On “Straight Ahead,” Caliman visits some of his favorite tunes including his old friend Harold Land’s “Rapture,” the Lee Morgan classic “Totem Pole,” and with his own original “Cigar Eddie,” he provides a spirited opening to another classic recording. Featuring his working Seattle band with trumpeter Thomas Marriott, pianist Eric Verlinde, Phil Sparks on bass, and Matt Jorgensen on drums, “Straight Ahead” is another clear example of a living legend in top form. —AllAboutJazz.com

Dan Dean - 251

Dan Dean | “251” – [Origin 82552 – 2010]
With pianists George Duke & Kenny Werner, organist Larry Goldings, and pianist/accordianist Gil Goldstein, Seattle bassist Dan Dean brings together some of the top keyboard talents in the world for an intimate set of duo performances, each displaying an abundance of spontaneity and spirited exchanges. With Goldings, the duo explores the bop of “In Walked Bud” to the funk of “I Feel Good.” Pianists Kenny Werner & George Duke take on standards such as “Stella By Starlight” and “S’Wonderful,” while Gil Goldstein adds accordian to the mix with a look at “Lover Man.” With the performer’s varied and singular styles, and the mix of instruments, there’s great textural variety and the emphasis is aways on musical conversation with a lot of deep interplay. For many years an award-winning composer and producer of music for film, TV and advertising, Dan Dean was always a remarkable bassist and has a rich history of performances with Shelly Manne, Howard Roberts, Ernie Watts, Dave Grusin, Eddie Harris and countless others.
