Jazz for aficionados
Frogman, after that write up, wild horses couldn't stop me from listening to this album all the way through. Without a doubt, it is one of the best vocal jazz albums ever. In addition to all that you mentioned, I like the fact that she writes her own material. Some other vocalists with fantastic voices should take note of that; especially those who scat inappropriately on certain standards. Enjoy the music. |
Acman, I was able to sample her CD "Do Right" with Houston Person and others, and I liked it. In addition to "You Tube", if she could get WSIE Radio 88.7 FM to play her CD's, that would certainly help to give her more exposure. These artists don't have to have a record company anymore, and that will certainly help their bottom line. Rap Artists are driving Lamborghini's and living in Beverly Hills, and I'm talking about the one's I don't even know anything about; what I'm saying is that when you make and market your own product, you can count your own money, and that's what these new artists are doing. Sari Kessler will make it big I'm sure; she's got some of the best people with her and she's going to "Do Right". Enjoy the music. |
Acman, you're the only Aficionado who has consistently posted new music, and I regret I haven't reviewed it all, but I intend to rectify that. Brian Bromberg plays good solid straight ahead jazz of a very high caliber; it's the kind of music demanding Aficionados like Frogman, Rok, and Alex can appreciate. I'm hoping that Frogman can give us a review from a professional jazz musician's point of view. According to "Wiki", Brian Bromberg (born December 5, 1960, in Tucson, Arizona) is an American jazz bassist and record producer who performs on both electric and acoustic instruments. He has a varied resume when it comes to types of jazz (the man sounds like a survivor to me) This album "Full Circle" is boss, I'm still listening to it, and it's just keeps getting better. Enjoy the music. |
Today's Listen -- LAUGHIN' TO KEEP FROM CRYIN' Lester Young, Roy Eldridge, Harry Edison, Hank Jones, Herb Ellis Great Album by a bunch of up and coming players. Ellis seems to engage in some "quoting" on his solo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrXHu4elT5E BTW, Led Zeppelin was taken to court recently for excessive "quoting". Cheers |
