| “ | After the phenomenal success of TAKIN' OFF, Herbie Hancock's second release for Blue Note was constructed in the mold of its predecessor. The tantalizing MY POINT OF VIEW offers many of the same early Hancock signature moments, but with an expanded palette that reflects the pianist's growing experience. A larger ensemble helped to broaden the range of this release as Blue Note regulars Donald Byrd, Hank Mobley, and Grant Green add to Hancock's sonic textures. Also on board are the advanced trombonist Grachan Moncur III, Bill Evans' bassist Chuck Israels, and the young drum wonder Tony Williams. | ” |
| “ | This is a memorable meeting of a pair of genial giants - Sonny Rollins, who has been called again and again the boss of the modern tenor sax, and Coleman Hawkins, who is the father of jazz saxophone playing. Each has made enormous contributions to jazz improvisation, beyond the limits of his instrument. The sum total of their work forms the impressive foundation for this once-in-a-lifetime album. | ” |
| “ | Dorham’s lyrical trumpeting on ballads and uptempo tunes is showcased on his Riverside debut that also features tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins, pianist Hank Jones, bassist Oscar Pettiford and drummer Max Roach. Keepnews says, “This is one of my favorite ‘blowing’ albums, ever.” He adds, “There are extremely few jazz trumpeters who reached prominence in the second half of the 20th century who should be ranked any higher than Kenny.” Six tunes from the original are remastered, including three with guest harp player Betty Glamman. | ” |
| “ | This album finds two pianists with very different styles pairing off. Basie is the lapidary minimalist, playing one perfectly placed note where others, like, well, Peterson would be a prime example, would run a flashy scale. (As you might guess, I favor Basie's approach.) They try to meet somewhere in the middle on this recording, and for the most part succeed. A gently swinging blues-based session, well-recorded by Val Valentin. | ” |
| “ | Philip Wells Woods (born November 2, 1931 in Springfield, Massachusetts) is an American jazz bebop alto saxophonist, clarinetist, bandleader and composer. | ” |
| “ | Day in 2010 its 10 years of existence and book a second disc on the Circum-Disc label, the Rapture, from a new creation. After a project about the song, then a project "monumental" with Feldspar (Circum Grand Orchestra + The Octopus), the orchestra returns to a purely instrumental music, based on a rich writing, both rhythmic and lyrical, composed mainly by Olivier Benoit. The six titles that comprise the album also give the opportunity to hear the improvisational qualities of members of the orchestra. The Circum Grand Orchestra is an outstanding training to more than one way. Group of 12 musicians in an orchestra Circum double rhythm section (two guitars, two basses, two drums and piano), supported by five of the strongest winds, compositions rich and varied range of jazz's most experimental song on the loose. All this gives a dense and powerful music, which does not hesitate to play itself and to overcome any stylistic constraint. | ” |
