Tender Cervic In Early Pregnancy

Jimmy Smith - Back At The Chicken Shack

In the case of Jimmy Smith CD (at least those from the sixties), virtually impossible to find a very weak position. Some are curiosities today, an example of the dictates of the intention of the artists, producers, such as "Christmas Cookin '." It's such an obvious compromise that allows the plate to meet the requirements of the contract certainly, but also repair the budget. You can also reserve a bit to keep in relation to production, where there is an orchestra or other large instrumental compositions - like "Any Number Can Win" in 1963. Such plates, as well as those recorded in later years, up until the last of the years 2001-2004, recorded shortly before his death in 2005, is a treat for the fans, which is not enough of the best albums of 1915-1920, according to many the greatest jazz musician playing the Hammond organ.

Classifications leave to the historians. Merit Jimmy Smith for jazz organs, and so can not be overestimated. Suffice it to say that all the discs recorded in the company of Kenny Burrell, Grant Green, Wes Montgomery, or a position at least very good. This was the statement of the authorities, guitars, drums, saxophone, and sometimes (often it was also played at today's board Stanley Turrentine) seems to be best for Jimmy Smith. There remains then the most space for the sound of Hammond, and the forfeiture of the composition of the bass can use all the registers of the instrument is also in the stratum album.

When he plays such a composition, such as "Back At The Chicken Shack" - the Jimmy Smith on Hammond organ, Stanley Turrentine on tenor saxophone, Kenny Burrell on guitar and Donald Bailey on drums, the choice of repertoire seems to have no meaning. Even with the simple blues, cabaret songs banal, whether the soul hits of Jimmy Smith's team made in the sixties style ballads. So you can choose the plate, which is more of these melodies that we know and like, or laboriously collect all the items released in the sixties for Blue Note and Verve, and these are not a few, probably about 30 albums worth of attention. Both maintain a systematic record album Jimmy Smith in the catalogs, so you can count on a fair bit of patience even in the set. A large proportion of Blue Note artist catalog released in recent years in the series The Rudy Van Gelder Edition. It should look for these issues because of the tight sound improved. Bonuses do not go here often, as was the custom recording artist in a single session of two and even three albums, so discards it was not ...

What makes today's record of all those publications? In fact, nothing of its present range is a bit random. The board should stand on a shelf next to "Midnight Special" - album recorded during the same session. The repertoire we find catchy melodies - "On The Sunny Side Of The Street" and "When I Grow Too Old To Dream. " also find their own compositions Jimmy Smith and Stanley Turrentine'a. Maybe a bit on today's panel too little Kenny Burrell, who missed the session and ran it in two pieces ....

If you like Jimmy Smith, this album is worthy of interest.

How Long Does The Best Artifical Knee Last

Imelda May - Mayhem

Music Imelda May is a strange mix of styles. It's a lot of traditional rockabilly and rock & roll in its original form. There are also lots of jazz in dance halls of Harlem, but she certainly does not hide the origin and his Irish accent. When wants and needs, is much more American - like on Jeff Beck's "Rock 'N' Roll Party: Honouring Les Paul." Her latest album - "Mayhem" certainly is not directed solely to the Dublin clubbers. This global production prepared with great attention to detail by the Decca label. It's kind of a modern swing ready, so that younger customers recognize it, that is also their music.

long time ago there was jazz music for dancing. Do not forget about listening to be-bop intellectual, and sometimes a bit on the strength of the original avant-garde. In any standard, jazz is a note of the blues, or swing, or a bit of Broadway theater. Design Imelda May is a modern incarnation aranżacyjnie sonically and vitality of jazz dance. This peculiar fusion of jazz and rockabilly, which after all comes from jazz in a straight line. This is music that young people can accept as pop, but which does not hurt your ears are accustomed to good composition and a bit more complex harmony. Do not forget that all great in the forties and previously played for dancing ... ..

album "Mayhem" contains almost entirely original repertoire written by Imelda May with her husband and her band while guitarist Darrell Highamem. The exception to this rule is a cover of "Tainted Love" - Song written by Ed Cobb for the soul of the American singer Gloria Jones in the sixties. The real has gained popularity t composition, however, in the eighties due to the popular version then the group Soft Cell.

title track - "Mayhem" is a powerful rock guitar. This is followed by one of the most interesting compositions on the album - "Kentish Town Waltz" - a great ballad, and great vocals. "Inside Out" is a song alive, removed from the cabarets and more popular 60 years ago in black neighborhoods of American metropolises. "Bury My Troubles Away" is a great dance hit with a touch of blues.

Music from "Mayhem" undoubtedly owes much not only a superb voice Imelda May. It is also stable and swinging rhythm section - Al Gare (Double Bass and Bass) and Steve Rushton (drums). Darrel Guitar Highama sometimes resembles a classic rhythm guitar, Scotty Moore and Duane Eddy. The solos Darrel Higham tradition dating back to the Les Paul, it can also show the rock edge. Dave Priseman (trumpet) gr much, but it is always present where needed and when needed - just listen even "Bury My Troubles."

Let us drop so serious intellectual jazz, and suppose that there was no World War II, global recession and a ban on recordings (record ban) in the forties. Certainly, if not all of these disasters, jazz would have been happy and very likely that the main stream of entertainment reminiscent of twórczość Imelda May. Does standing in a traffic jam on the way to the sea or the mountains you can listen to Cecil Taylor or Keith Jarrett? Sure you can, but I am in such circumstances will Imelda May. Take her music on holiday with me necessarily. It's not just "Mayhem," but also "Love Tattoo ', preferably in a two-disc version (with a bonus disc concert) because Imelda at concerts is excellent. Dołóżcie a recent Jeff Beck ("Rock 'N' Roll Party: Honouring Les Paul") in the role of Imelda Mary Ford ...

I Have A Bump Inside My Nose What Is

Sonny Rollins - Freedom Suite

today's music on the album almost in its entirety is contained in an excellent set of recordings of Sonny Rollins' "The Complete Riverside & Contemporary Recordings . This carefully released, consisting of a 5-CD box, appeared on the market in 2000 and today is rather difficult to obtain. Most of the recordings but you can buy in the form of individual plates. This is precisely the "Freedom Suite" - the album available Keepnews Collection series issued publishing for several years by Concord Records. This remastered edition of the re-addition (which is little changed in the version), contains an additional recording without a leader.

The album was recorded in 1958. It was a time when, within a few months built it so important to the achievements of Sonny Rollins' albums such as "Saxophone Colossus," "Live At The Village Vanguard" and "Way Out West." The "Saxophone Colossus" I wrote here:


album today, both then and now completely undeservedly remains in the shadow of these great plates Rollins. That's how it happens when you record a lot and well. Contents musical "Freedom Suite" is the best test. In addition to recording the leader was attended by Oscar Pettiford (bass) and Max Roach (drums). This formula has allowed both to concentrate on the sound of saxophone and improvisation leader and gave enough space for an Oscar Pettiforda excellent game. In many sessions from this period bass a bit lost against the background sounds of piano and two or three brass instruments. Max Roach and Oscar Pettiford is the team leader of the tried, so work with the rhythm section is excellent.

musical content is a little bit unusual (at least on the first page of the original issue of Analog). This is what occupies the entire page A board almost 20 minutes suite called "The Freedom Suite," which is the composition of the leader. This kilkuczęściowa composition, which is just a sketch, but specific enough to allow the leader to easily recording time to develop dramatic solo performances, and leave some room for other musicians. Ideology associated with the composition described in the manufacturer's initial word panels - Orrin Keepnews should be left to the individual assessment of each student. In my opinion it is a bit of force assembled an ambitious story to just a good composition.

Second Home analog boards and accessories in współczenym umiesczone CD release, a typical mix of familiar hits desekm Broadway and jazz standards, looking a bit more ambitious in the context of compositional forms of the title track of a typical filler. But the way to build a melody by Sonny Rollins and his talent for dealing with the seemingly trivial niebanalnymi phrases makes this part of the disc is well worth the attention of all listeners today, and not just fans and collectors of curiosities, and each note played by saxophonist.

must also remember that it is not only great music, is also one of the first examples of ambitious recordings of the trio without piano. Since such trials began the popularity of such formations, for the soloist challenging, without the harmonic support of the piano. It is thanks to insightful ideas Sonny Rollins in the sixties created similar video configurations Sam Rivers, Albert Ayler, Ornette Coleman, finally.

my opinion, no good jazz collection can not do without today's album.

How Long Could Trichomonais Lay Dormant

Simple Songs Vol 14

RadioJAZZ.FM CD of the week is the latest album, Le Nguyen released in early 2011 by the Act! This excellent disc, captivated me so much that I decided to bring the studio is also a few other of his earlier recordings. Perhaps there are also those among the listeners who listen to our radio only in the evenings, so I do not have another opportunity to listen to the latest production of this exquisite guitar. So a couple of tracks from "Songs Of Freedom" certainly also listen.

But let's start with one of the recordings from the album "Purple: Celebrating Jimi Hendrix". It was recorded in 2002, an album dedicated to the author's vision of well-known compositions from the repertoire of Jimi Hendrix. This seemingly impossible. Such ideas end up copying a master, or incompetent, or wydziwionymi on the strength of the experiments that the discovery did not lead anything. Album Nguyen Le is one of the few exceptions to this rule. Let us hear, therefore, Nguyen Le, Me'Shell Ndegeocello on bass and Terri Lyne Carrington on drums. Khann sing Aida.

* Nguyen Le - Voodoo Child (Slight Return) - Purple: Celebrating Jimi Hendrix

Nguyen Le was born on 14 January 1959 in Paris. His parents are from Vietnam. The French jazz community and the Vietnamese minority, which is quite large in Paris, are linked to musical roots of this guitar. The first solo album released in 1990 - "Miracles," starring Marc Johnson (bass) and Peter Erskine (drums). Vietnamese musical inspiration folklore in his music can be heard at every step. Let us hear his own compositions from the "Bakida. Featuring tenor saxophone Chris Potter play.

* Nguyen Le Trio featuring Chris Potter - Chinoir - Bakida

New custom program with this release is a few words about the album, which travels on a program with me in the car. Yesterday it was the album Lee Morgan - "Candy." I remembered about him when I saw it on a shelf in a shop in the edition of Rudy Van Gelder in a completely niezpodziewanej price 24.99 zł. At this price everyone should buy it, who like a good jazz in the fifties and sixties. All times are endless recording sessions in the studio, Rudy Van Gelder. Arose when many prominent positions, and even more very good. "Candy" is certainly not the best album from Lee Morgan, but it is certainly worth exploring, especially for this price. In addition to playing the leader, Sonny Clark on piano, Doug Watkins on bass and Art Taylor on drums.

Our CD of the week is the latest album from guitarist - "Songs Of Freedom". This excellent album. Made with great gusto, with the participation of many special guests. These include, inter alia, Chris Speed, and which record the same label as Nguyen Le singer Youn Sun Nah. This product is a multicultural, thus escaping any genre classifications. Sam Nguyen Le is an extraordinary artist, guitarist, able to take technically efficient without much contriving and electronics to achieve a unique and recognizable sound. And this is not an easy art. The leader is not only a guitarist, but also highly innovative team leader, a visionary able to take try and fix musical paintings, which others can not. Let's listen to the blues Janis Joplin in the role of which will play Himiko Paganotti.

* Nguyen Le - Uncle Ho's Benz / Mercedes Benz - Songs Of Freedom

course, one can conclude that a complex production studio, electronic effects and pre-recorded sounds incorporated while working in the studio. Of course, much truth in this. Let us hear, therefore, as the trio Le Nguyen is on show. It will be a segment of video projection unit from the Montreux Festival in 2000, available on the disc label promotional Act!

* Nguyen Le Trio Bakida Dding Dek - Magic Moments: Live In Montreux

Think back to our board this week - "Songs Of Freedom". Let's listen to the opening of the company's board composition of John Lennon and Paul McCartney - "Eleanor Rigby." The record is not easy to choose the most interesting record, because all sound surprisingly fresh and at the same time show how wide attention, and the musical knowledge of our hero.

* Le Nguyen feat. Youn Sun Nah - Eleanor Rigby - Songs Of Freedom

Nguyen Le listen as a guest in one of the better lately projects Uri Caine ' a - "The Othello Syndrome." For the trumpet will play Ralph Messi, and the composition is rather loosely connected with the work of Giuseppe Verdi, like all the pretty exotic and unexpected, but sounding pretty fresh draft of the avant-garde pianist. Recorded between 2005 and 2008.

* Uri Caine feat Nguyen Le - Drinking Song - The Othello Syndrome

Another composition of the Arab vision of Jimi Hendrix - "Are You Experienced" from the album " Purple: Celebrating Jimi Hendrix ". The party is a vocal Curschellas Corin, and apart from Me'Shell Ndegeocello play leader and Terri Lyne Carrington.

* Nguyen Le - Are You Experienced - Purple: Celebrating Jimi Hendrix

Supplement, which is what we did not manage to fit in an hour broadcast:

"Black Dog" from Led Zeppelin's repertoire is a place where Le Nguyen could not forgive himself guitar madness. For this very abstract African vocal Dhafer Youssef. While it can be text in a language they do not recognize ... At the beginning of the preface, which resembles a Tibetan mantra. This is already Nguyen Le. The role of Robert Plant perform Dhafer Youssef, as Jimi Page's course Le Ngyuen.

* Nguyen Le - Ben Zeppelin / Black Dog - Songs Of Freedom

And next week we'll curiosities nagraniowymi Cassandra Wilson. It will be another element umilający waiting for the most important events of this year's Warsaw Summer Jazz Days. The program will place the interest of its rich discography. However, we will try to avoid its catalog CD, looking for other, less obvious signs of musical compositions and Cassandra cooperation with these major and the bit less well known musicians. Will przebojowo and somewhat unexpectedly, and tickets to her concert on June 22, at which it occurs Avishai Cohen can buy right now. I'll be there for sure.

Poptropica How To Get A Rifle

Freddie Hubbard - Here To Stay

Examples of common recordings Freddie Hubbard and Wayne Shorter's discography can be found in both the musicians a lot. Notable album is even The All Seeing Eye, The Soothsayer and Speak No Evil - Wayne Shorter, The Body & The Soul album today's leader of the common recording with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, or a bit later with Herbie Hancock's VSOP. Is today's record is better than them? Or worse? It is impossible to make such classification. Music is the emotion of the moment, each disc has its right moment.

Here To Stay For my moment was yesterday. Do not listen to this CD for many years and I regret that I forgot a bit about it. Wayne Shorter seems to be because a much better partner for the Freddie Hubbard, than the slightly earlier recording with him James Spaulding, Hank Mobley, and John Gilmour. Although most of the time remains in the shadow and his solos are shorter than the leader, it is both voices fit together perfectly. Wayne Shorter has on this album as their surprisingly soft tone, and his phrases are muted, subdued, as if he wanted to leave the whole scene for a leader (even in the composition of the leader And Fulton Nostrand). Freddie Hubbard thoroughly enjoy this opportunity. No game is perhaps not particularly vigorous, focusing on the sound of each note.

must remember that despite the fact that during the recording of today's CD was only 24 years old, was already a seasoned musician with considerable achievements of the recording. At this age, be leader, the author of the CD repertoire and its main soloist was certainly not easy. Talent Freddie Hubbard then developed very quickly. Just compare the Body and Soul in 1962 (Here To Stay) with recorded just a few months later, also in the company of Wayne Shorter version from the album The Body & The Soul.

must remember that the musicians knew each other well with many concerts in the band the Jazz Messengers Art Blakey'a.

Opening the disc composition leader - Philly Mignon is a demonstration of its technical capabilities, a fast pace and a lot of notes played in a way that may be unattainable for many trumpet players with more experience.

In all the compositions of his astonishing inventiveness not only Freddie Hubbard and Wayne Shorter, but also, somewhat unexpectedly, in this configuration Cedar Waldon (piano). Section - Reggie Workman (bass) and Philly Joe Jones (drums), the composition, which could not fail.

plate today is another example of how much excellent music arose in the late fifties and early sixties in the studio, Rudy Van Gelder. The album had to wait for its debut well over 10 years. Previously appeared in other excellent sessions Freddie Hubbard recorded by Rudy Van Gelder for Blue Note.

Nguyen Le - Songs Of Freedom

This excellent album. Made with great gusto, with the participation of many special guests. These include, inter alia, Chris Speed, and which record the same label as Nguyen Le singer Youn Sun Nah. This product is a multicultural, thus escaping any genre classifications. Sam Nguyen Le is an extraordinary artist, guitarist, able to take technically efficient without much contriving and electronics to achieve a unique and recognizable sound. And this is not an easy art. The leader is not only a guitarist, but also highly innovative team leader, able to take a visionary to see and fix musical paintings, which others can not.

In 2002, Le Nguyen recorded an album with songs Jimi Hendrix - Purple - Celebrating Jimi Hendrix ". It was a brave decision. This kind of musical entrainment with goose chase. They work in the music complete and perfect, is better not to upgrade. Le Nguyen musical creativity has made, however, that this seemingly unenforceable task to play in an innovative, not just showy guitar way Jimi Hendrix blues album was excellent.

"Songs Of Freedom" is part of a similar convention, as among the tracks recorded on the disc can be found among other compositions by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, Janis Joplin, and Jimi Page and Robert Plant. They are also well-known hits from the repertoire of Bob Marley, Stevie Wonder and Eric Clapton's band Cream.

Nguyen Le is not only a recording musician covers. It is also producing an artist album with his own compositions. Music on "Songs Of Freedom" hardly be called a cover indeed. Here are the compositions source was used only as a pretext to create highly original music. Undoubtedly also served as a kind of better to attract fans to the stores Led Zeppelin, Janis Joplin and The Beatles. In this case, however music defends itself, is deliciously original and refreshingly modern.

Some of the songs on "Songs Of Freedom" is preceded by a short introdukcjami by the leader. Each of the selected album charts was very creative and unexpected ways processed.

album opens with "Eleanor Rigby" sung by Youn Sun Nah. This arrangement and instrumentation Arabic. "I Wish" Stevie Wonder is a massive attack of percussion instruments as a framework for who envisioned from the beginning a bit careless, but sometimes totally crazy gęstniejących and guitar improvisation.

"Black Dog" from Led Zeppelin's repertoire is a place where Le Nguyen could not forgive himself guitar madness. For this very abstract African vocal Dhafer Youssef. While it can be text in a language they do not recognize ...

"Pastime Paradise" is a good song but not necessarily outstanding Stevie Wonder. In the hands of Le Nguyen experienced a similar metamorphosis, as Maurice Ravel's Bolero once in the hands of Stanley Jordan. There is a bit of everything. There is no chaos, however, it is rather delicious blend of styles. Such a totally cosmic energy intake fulminans.

"Mercedes Benz" sung a cappella by Janis Joplin opinion, the best is Le Nguyen of distorted solo guitar and vibraphone sounds Asian. A seemingly pointless, but anyone who will listen, inevitably it will reflect, so that no one had it not hit. Maybe it is playing in the clubs of Hanoi. I do not know, but in Paris rather not. Another blues Janis Joplin - "Move Over" is a fusion of the predominance of the saxophone in the style of Bob Berg, performed by David Binney.

"Whole Lotta Love," sings a woman ... Can it succeed? Youn Sun Nah's voice is the next leader of the guitar, the dominant instrument. There are also tabla and strangely Processed Vocoder Prabhu Edouard exotic voice.

"Redemption Song" Bob Marley - devoid of the characteristic rhythm of reggae party with just the correct vocal Julia Starr compare to the rest of the songs pale, like "Sunshine Of Your Love" inherent in the guitar sounds of Eric Clapton, from the failure to Nguyen Le escape. On these two tracks a little lacking ideas. Himiko Paganotti vocal is better than Eric Clapton, but it is not a particularly difficult ...

"A Gadda da Vida" - a composition from the repertoire of known Iron Butterfly - somewhat forgotten today, but 1968, when the band released a CD of In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida was a great hit. In the embodiment Nguyen Le is a platform for the longest guitar improvisation on the album. Overall, the album is astonishingly little guitar. It's not a show of technology and musical creativity. Guitar playing technique is just one of the means of artistic expression.

closes the disc, "Come Together" by John Lennon and Paul McCartney played in Arabic. I'm sure that John he would have liked ...

Is on this album is a hit? I can not choose. This album is a hit in its entirety. It is modern, innovative, creative vision to transform the musical genius and an outstanding guitarist. Nguyen Le is not recording a lot and often, but on his album worth the wait.

What Organ Do We Have On Left Waist Side

Dexter Gordon - Live At Carnegie Hall

This album is a big surprise. Rather, it is not one of those great discs such as Dexter Gordon Our Man In Paris Dexter Gordon On Dial: The Complete Sessions, GO, and Gettin 'Around. " Live At Carnegie Hall, however, the Dexter Gordon in a nutshell. It's a bad section of remaining somewhere in the background and endless improvisations leader. In the two works is welcoming a second saxophone - Johnny Griffin. These two tracks - Blues Up And Down and Cheesecake is an interesting dialogue between the two saxophones. Short solo game too George Cables on piano. The whole, however, belongs to Dexter Gordon, who plays siedmiominutowe improvisations with ease citing both known tunes such as the Mona Lisa, or Body And Soul. This, however, only fragments, the whole improvisation is an intelligent and balanced, while the extraordinary inventiveness of us played the harmonic complexities of topics.

Perhaps the choice of repertoire here is a bit random, but each track is just a pretext for the highest quality saxophone improvisation. So there is no record on this theme connecting played songs. There is some complicated ideology. Probably there was also something strictly planned program of the concert. This album is pure music and nothing more. Is it bad, not really. It's the kind of meld Dexter Gordon - I am, back from a long, lasting more than 10 years of residence in Europe. The first album by the saxophonist recorded after returning to the U.S. was, of course, Homecoming: Live At The Village Vanguard. But back to the stage such a prestigious as Carnegie Hall was definitely the same doping Dexter Gordon to play a really excellent show, which does not know which has been issued for the first time after twenty years.

It's one of those shows where I would find themselves in the audience. Unfortunately it was at Carnegie Hall from 1978 - probably beyond my reach at that time and place. Well, that is the disc. This is certainly a great record of excellent concert. Released after years in a series of Original Jazz Classics, Columbia had become a jazz classic in the eyes of people from marketing the label. This time, it is not abusive to encourage us to purchase. It's a great album, not only for fans of Dexter Gordon, but for all fans good jazz.

Set Bathtub On Concrete Floor

Night Million Crane vol 2 - Palladium, Warsaw, 18 May 2011

It was quite a pleasant evening, although this kind of concerts are usually not an artistic event, but rather social. So it was this time, but failed to gather a room full of listeners besides wanting to see these promised and as it usually happens in such circumstances, even those less musical presentations planned. Proud to be the technical efficiency of the organization and short breaks between performances. When you are destined for the maintenance stage umilał time students, reading in the majority of previously prepared by the same contractors texts, Zbigniew Zamachowski. Sometimes it was a pretty neat ceremonies, sometimes betraying the very in-depth knowledge of music time filler remained promising, but successful enough that viewers do not leave the audience for almost 4 hours.
kilkunastominutowych The form of presentation is not allowed for the development of the wings of most performers. After these presentations better, therefore, remained unsatisfied, and they were a bit worse so short that it is not irritated beyond measure.
Maria Pomianowska concert began with a team that combines a bit of Japanese exoticism with Polish folk music. This seemingly doomed to failure blend proved to be so, that will look for records of its team.

another appearance, this is a short set presented by Anna Kostrzewska, singer is still seeking his musical identity, but certainly deserves a wider audience interested in jazz, which does not treat orthodox jazz too limited to proven big celebrity vocal. Anna Kostrzewska is also responsible for the artistic part of the total share of aid to Japan organized by the Polish Humanitarian Action. Both for the musical qualities of her performance, as well as the organizational effort and commitment to the whole thing are the words of its highest consideration. If you will be somewhere close to the concert, you will not miss me there.

Project Agnieszka Szczepaniak - But crib! featuring Justine Steczkowska was presented in a short set, dominated by their unusual ability Justyna Steczkowska voice. It is also a topic worthy of greater interest, Bowim I have the impression that the whole idea, is not only using voice stars, but also interesting music, which unfortunately due to time constraints did not show up that evening.

the encore the band played Szczepaniak Agnieszka Justyna Steczkowska pop hit - Girl Shaman. Vocal Duet and Anna Justyna Steczkowska Kostrzewski be considered quite successful, and certainly well spectacular and it's expected with this kind of concert audiences relish a single, unique event.

Kostrzewska Anna and Justyna Steczkowska

Mieczyslaw Szczesniak and accompanied by Wendy Waldman - it was the correct and only correct performance, both artists can do more, but this is the kind of music that needs a bit more time to pulling listeners in the mood. That evening at the Palladium was too short and too little, and this means a total that was not bad.

Mieczyslaw Szczesniak and Wendy Waldman

Team One Two Three - for this music is not so fond of. However, I have a feeling that the team played its most important song a bit, without commitment, as if it were another show, which probably played a lot in recent years in the larger rooms and smaller metropolitan cultural centers and fire engines, and folk festivals remizach like many others every year takes place in Poland.

Aga Zaryan performance was a bit not for me. I do not like drawing ambitious rows and dorabianiem to them on the power of music, so that the disc sold as an ambitious art project doczepianąc the label famous poet. Aga Zaryan prefer singing jazz standards, but to the need for greater instrumental momentum, as on stage vol 2 Night Crane lacked. It was so musically correct style, which I do not like.


Aga

closing all star Tomasz Stanko was in towarzystkie his former team - today recording alone - the trio of Marcin Wasilewski. It was undoubtedly the best set of the evening. Tomasz Stanko captivates every sound, especially during concerts. There is something to Miles Davis. Playing sparingly, completely controls the action and music casually all of a sudden it sounds from his trumpet, which he did not expect, and which are so much on the spot.

How Can I Can My Military Shot Records

Simple Songs Vol 13

Yesterday's broadcast official countdown began, who remained in Poland for the first concert of Jeff Beck. Probably the whole day would be needed to show all his artistic incarnation, from The Yardbirds, through jazz and rock productions from the seventies, the hit and the most modern motherboards the last decade.

But let's start with one of his last concerts often grywanych hits, which surely will be heard at a concert held in Warsaw this year's edition of the Warsaw Summer Jazz Days. The CD & Emotion Commotion with phenomenal Tal Wilkenfeld on bass, Jason Rebello on keyboards and orchestra - Hammerhead.

* Jeff Beck - Hammerhead - Emotion Commotion &

was supposed to be rock and roll and just go to him. First, however, have a completely new recording. Looking at the publishing calendar, is the latest recording Jeff Beck. Probably only released in the U.S. market in 2010 CD - Live And Exclusive From The Grammy Museum contains recordings of the concert, which took place somewhat later than the concert dedicated to Les Paul's memory, which for the moment go. Let's listen Nessum Dorma - Kalafa aria from the opera Turandot final act of Giacomo Puccini. That sample widening our musical horizons of today's hero.

* Jeff Beck - Nessum Dorma - Live And Exclusive From The Grammy Museum

Now we will focus mostly on the last major production of Jeff Beck. It's an unusual album in his oeuvre: Rock 'N' Roll Party Honouring Les Paul. It is a return to the roots of jazz guitar and a tribute to the great idol our today's hero. This carefully selected music is played back in the forties and fifties by Les Paul. Let's start with a more powerful impact - the composition of which shall be given to Nick LaRocca, and which in 1917 recorded the first time on disc one of the first jazz bands recorded on CD - Original Dixieland Jass Band - Tiger Rag. She sings quite phenomenal, found somewhere in Ireland's Imelda May. Les Paul has recorded the theme for the first time in 1952 and together with Mary Ford made it a big hit. Earlier this standard recorded virtually all - Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Frank Sinatra and many others.

* Jeff Beck Feat Imelda May - Tiger Rag - Rock 'N' Roll Party Honouring Les Paul

CD Rock 'N' Roll Party Honouring Les Paul are mostly only slightly modernized, how stylish and great respect for the achievements champion played cover versions. Let's listen to so in the first version of Jeff Beck and Imelda May and later Les Paul and Mary Ford in 1951.

* Jeff Beck Feat Imelda May - How High The Moon - Rock 'N' Roll Party Honouring Les Paul

* Les Paul And Mary Ford - How High The Moon - Les Paul With Mary Ford: The Best Of The Capitol Masters

On stage this evening, also starring special guests. In one song appeared on Gary U.S. Bonds, the figure for American music legend, probably sometime in the broadcast will be longer. Few people can do so draw out the audience going on stage only one track. Let us hear, therefore New Orleans in the extended version of the announcement by Jeff Beck.

* Jeff Beck feat Gary U.S. Bonds - New Orleans - Rock 'N' Roll Party Honouring Les Paul

In the longer versions of material recorded at the jazz club IRYDIUM New York, available in the form of a film on Blue Ray for a few tracks there is Brian Setzer. The CD version there is only one track with his participation - Twenty Flight Rock, an expanded version of the announcement of Jeff Beck.

* Jeff Beck feat Brian Setzer - Twenty Flight Rock - Rock 'N' Roll Party Honouring Les Paul

In almost all songs from the album, which was the main topic of a program, Jeff Beck-style game reminiscent of Les Paul's half a century. Sometimes, however, remembers his rock experiences, which can be used even in such wspominkowej convention. Let's listen to Rocking Is Our Business - the role of a musician with the band vocalist Imelda May - singing and playing the guitar Darrel Higham. Also play Jason Rebello - standing for several years now, musician Jeff Beck and rising TV star of the jazz mainstream, within the meaning of Wynton Marsalis - Trombone Shorty on the trombone. The brass section worth telling even more after hearing the recording.

brass section, which in a few songs at a concert led Trombone Shorty mentioned earlier consisted of legendary musicians for the climates in which we move during the broadcast. Apart from the youngest in this group and its leader, Blue Lou Marini played baritone saxophone (remember the waiter from The Blues Brothers?), musical partner of many celebrities, from Frank Zappa, by Manu Dibango and the brass section of Blood, Sweet & Tears, led by Randy Brecker's ending, and Leo Green - saxophonist Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard and Chuck Berry. Let's listen to the music business cards Lou Marini - track pamiętanego by many is the movie The Blues Brothers - Peter Gunn

Let us return briefly to the sensationally stylish Imelda May. Another song from the concert dedicated to the memory of Les Paul is Mockin 'Bird Hill. Here again, a presentation will be twofold. This time, let's listen first Les Paul and Mary Ford, and later Jeff Beck and Imelda May.

* Jeff Beck feat Imelda May - Mockin 'Bird Hill - Rock 'N' Roll Party Honouring Les Paul

How did Imelda May ... Somehow I miraculously was invented by Jeff Beck, somewhere on the music scene of Ireland. Jeff Beck is undoubtedly a talent for such discoveries, if only to remind Tal Wilkenfeld (bass born young. 1986, currently in a band Herbie Hancock). But back to Imelda May, who fit perfectly in the uneasy role of Mary Ford. This singer, whose debut album was released in 2005. We listen to an encore recording of the concert band Imelda May, Jeff Beck who is accompanied on the album Rock 'N' Roll Party Honouring Les Paul. Here, only the Imelda May - with the bonus disc from the extended release album Love Tattoo - bis of a concert - Rollin 'And Tumblin' Muddy Waters .

* Imelda May - Rollin 'And Tumblin' - Love Tattoo Limited Edition 2 CD

As I have said about Tal Wilkenfeld it can not not show a fragment ... Cause We've Ended be As Lovers Stevie Wonder concert with Jeff Beck Live at Ronnie Scott's. At the time of its recording, Tal was 21 years old ...

* feat. Jeff Beck Tal Wilkenfeld - Jeff Beck Performing This Week ... Live At Ronnie Scott's

It is precisely this kind of music you hear at a concert in Warsaw, Jeff Beck, already on June 21 at Warsaw Summer Jazz Days. I'll be there for sure. It will be one of the most important musical events of the year. Pick up for this concert is essential.

Supplement, which is what we did not manage to fit in an hour broadcast:

Now, back to the main board today - Rock 'N' Roll Party Honouring Les Paul.

* Jeff Beck feat Imelda May - Cry Me A River - Rock 'N' Roll Party Honouring Les Paul

* Jeff Beck feat Imelda May - Sitting On Top Of The World - Rock 'N' Roll Party Honouring Les Paul

* Jeff Beck feat Imelda May - Bye Bye Blues - Rock 'N' Roll Party Honouring Les Paul

And next week we'll figure Nguyen Le. His latest album - Songs Of Freedom will be our radio album of the week, we also listen to his other recordings. This highly original, with Vietnamese roots, born in Paris, the artist makes records with his own compositions, in a creative and visionary way of transforming something that most guitarists afraid to even touch - For example, Jimi Hendrix repertoire. Participates in a variety of musical experiments, such as for example those under the command of Uri Caine. It will definitely be very original and exotic, yet not miss the great rock hits of the bizarre interpretations Nguyen Le.

Adam Czerwinski & Darek Oles - Raindance

Today's CD came to me with some delay. I've heard it a few years ago and somehow forgot about it. This does not mean that it is not worth remembering. Surely this item worthy of attention. Why this delay? Is an independent production, not even on the cover of the bar code labels and markings, so the nearest record store, rather it can not be found. This is another of the hundreds of examples of how the internal mechanisms of the music industry try to influence what they hear. For some recordings easier to reach than others. About some good discs we learn from the media, the only other reference found on the pages of artists. Whether the album is about a loud voice is only loosely related to the artistic value of recorded music on it.

Raindance This is an example of such a disc recorded by a competent and excellent musicians workshop in spite of the music industry and mechanisms for promoting sales. It is also further evidence that for many years headlamp of our jazz musicians have not aspire to the forefront, but simply a part of it. Formally record liderują Adam Czerwinski (drums) and Mark Oles (bass). The other musicians are Larry Koonse (guitar) and Larry Goldings (Hammond organ). If we counted number of solos carefully, or notes played by the team members could easily be a record Larry Goldings, and Larry Koonse'go.

Larry Goldings is a participant in countless sessions with the greatest musicians, and the author of over a dozen solo albums. My first association, or music that you have in mind without resorting to scientific studies dyskograficzne, Michael Brecker, John Scofield (That's What I Say: John Scofield Plays The Music Of Ray Charles), and reported recently and presented in a Simple Songs on the air CD RadioJAZZ.FM Tim Ries - The Rolling Stones Project.


CD recordings of today you can also hear on the air, and certainly will appear shortly.

Larry Koonse known in Poland is arguably the most sold in a large as the quantity of copies of a jazz album Aga Zaryan - Picking Up The Pieces. For me it's music, which I remember the exquisite plates Charlie Haden and Gonzalo Rubalcaby - Land Of The Sun. It's also a companion Thelemansa Toots and Lee Konitz.

And so the portion of complaining of how the world is organized to reach today's music CD. And this is excellent. The formula resembles the classical compositions Hammond + guitar + drums + bass as we know from multiple plates Grant Green, Early George Benson or Wes Montgomery. The focus is shifted slightly to the guitar in the direction of percussion, at the end of the leader is Adam Czerwinski. The compositions are excellent, though the title Raindance bit shyly hidden in second place after the opening disc standard Irving Berlin - How Deep Is The Ocean there is no reason for concern. This is a composition of Adam Czerwiński, which is a renowned nothing inferior standard. The same is true with other compositions by Darius Oleszkiewicz and Larry Koonse.

Maybe a little on this album too little Oleszkiewicz Darius, though it's already looking across the hole. It is a great, romantic, sophisticated and thoughtful album. Climate conducive to contemplation and tasting rather sounds and arrangement ideas than wystukiwaniu foot rhythm. Praise for this Czerwińskiemu Adam, who understands that sometimes less is better. It is a pity that hardly anyone will know about it ...

George Benson Quartet - It's Uptown

Today's album was recorded in 1966 and is the second, after his debut The New Boss Guitar album in a major recording achievements of George Benson. Despite his young age the artist - at the time of recording was 23 years is a very mature product. Despite the artistic dictates of producers who at that time saw the commercial potential of guitarists and not necessarily a jazz star, has managed to record great music. You can hear a rhythm and blues roots, a guitarist, but also have heard that for every fan of jazz guitarist loves the most.

digital reissue on CD in 2001 (in a series of Columbia Original Jazz Classics) has been enriched with three previously unreleased tracks and pressed here do not quite know why the two songs from the album Lonnie Smith - Finger Lickin ' Good. Certainly one of these three songs, along with improved sound justify the purchase of re-release for those who prefer digital audio. Lonnie Smith's album is worth a separate interest in entirety, but it may be another time.

certainly for fans of jazz guitar is the coolest lasted over seven minutes version of Willow Weep For Me - standards often played by guitarists. The George Benson's version is very much a way of phrasing Charlie Christian, is certainly an interesting and inspiring, and above all very mature, which, after the unexpected for the young at the time of recording artist, who operated in the area rather more vital emotion, to which it tended previous musical experience, including a live collaboration with Jack McDuff.

Some of the material compositions of their own leader, announcing his talent for composing graceful melodies. The combination of good compositions with flawless technique of the game has created a very melodic, feisty, yet musically interesting and original mix. Such songs as the disc opens Clockwise, Hello Birdie, and played almost exclusively in the company of percussion instruments like climate korridę Bullfight leader compositions that are not necessarily weaker than the big hackneyed standards, such as Willow Weep For Me, A Foggy Day, and Summertime, which complement the program CD.

In some tracks, as described in the liner notes to the album Game 3 drummers, I totally can not hear. Perhaps it is rather a copy of the data from the archives of the label and a list of all the musicians present on the recordings, not their actual participation in specific songs. But Ronnie Cuber (baritone saxophone), and above all, Lonnie Smith (organ) are important participants in the recordings.

We obtain the synthesis of species, a kind of amalgam of music allows for fun, treating the listener with a serious, honest and full of youthful energy. Captivating is heard each time the guitarist, who with her brilliant technique uses playing music, rather than showing how much he can. This feature of great artists and good recordings. Mastery of the instrument is important, but this must be a goal, and the music is an emotion rather than technique. On this album you will find the right balance.

What To Put In A Welcome Bag For A Wedding

Wlodek Pawlik Trio featuring Randy Brecker, Steve Hackett Trio, Royal Baths, Warsaw , May 14, 2011

yesterday in the Royal in Warsaw held a concert, whose program included two art projects. The first is a joint concert of the trio Wlodek Pawlik, and working with this team for many years Randy Brecker. The second set was played by a trio of Steve Hackett.

As usual in the case of concerts funded by the city, was a very lavish production. The content of Art has unfortunately not. But let's start from the beginning.

Wlodek Pawlik, Randy Brecker, Paul Pantani, Cezary Konrad

concert was held in a place where traditionally Baths piano recitals are held, which is the square of the Chopin Monument . For the purposes of this production stage was built on the pond in front of the monument. The concert was free, so the organizers could not have foreseen quantities audience. The crowds arrived. This seemingly good, but I do not like nice wypielęgnowanego zadeptywanie lawn. How can we expect from an audience that does not fall on the grass, if there is no where to stand, in addition to the VIP sector, traditionally pustawy rozstawiono was on the grass.

One of the biggest advantages of the event was surprisingly good sound and great execution as well as lighting, including the block of the monument and the nearby trees. But usually the music should be the main element of the concert. A casual audience does not help musicians.

Wlodek Pawlik Trio played a consistent set of compositions made up of both the leader and present guest Randy Brecker. These were both works of the newer and older records, which musicians recorded together, and material premiere. Wlodek Pawlik Trio, which in addition to the leader on piano, sometimes that helps you create electronic instrument Cezary Konrad (drums) and Luke Panta (double bass) and Randy Brecker performed, played, completed the terms of the contract and went home ...

Randy Brecker

performance was correct, but completely devoid of emotion, not suitable for space and time, completely free from contact with the audience. Probably would not even be an encore, if not pushed onto the stage musicians Steve Hackett for the joint execution of one of Hendrix's compositions. It sounded pretty good except for the embarrassing vocal artist Randy Brecker.

combined forces teams Wlodek Pawlik, Steve Hackett and Randy Brecker

Randy Brecker's trumpet tone is clear and pure as ever. The formula of playing chamber music compositions sophisticated works in a small club, the audience, who knows what the future and understand the music. Yesterday did not work for a moment. It was not a good idea.

Steve Hackett

O performance, you can write Steve Hackett only that took place. It was also konceret completely without history, without emotion and ideas of what to do with random audience. So the city has written on the account again in the form of artistic success meet expected expenditure and attracting a crowd of random visitors to the weak concert. Who has not seen a concert, you may think that in this way, walkers listened to a little jazz and eclectic contemporary music without wyraźngo idea, as is proposed today, Steve Hackett. Unfortunately, we saw the only eładnie illuminated monument to the accompaniment of quite dismal performances artists, the benefits do not even try to make an effort.
