Cary Kilner's Picks: Volume 42
Keith Jarrett – Lisbon Stomp This is from his first trio album and it clearly demonstrates the emergence of his unique style. I first heard on Forest Flower on Charles Lloyd’s album, and his solo on that title tune simply kills! https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=eUGA-OYzrak&feature=share Eric Reed – Martha’s Prize Here we have a swinging quartet with alto and a pianist I like very much playing a beautiful medium tempo tune. We heard Eric before in the column with a trio, giving his musical nod to Cedar Walton. The second link is yet another treatment of Waltz for Debbie as we continue to explore it in depth, this one not as a waltz but as a 5/4 vehicle. https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=eT-OOPEgBrA&list=RDAMVMeT-OOPEgBrA https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=TDvls1t5-UU&feature=share Danilo Perez – Prelude to a Kiss I have wanted to bring you more of this pianist, so here he is with a beautiful Ellington ballad. However, note some tunes attributed to the Duke were either collaborations with Billy Strayhorn, or Billy alone was the actual composer. You can hear Danilo’s original style and conception, with hints of broken swing but getting more propulsion than is found in the previous link above. https://youtu.be/WkLC0f0Fc6Y Chester Thompson Trio – Elation I know this drummer, Chester, from a funk context. But here he is playing straight jazz, with this very nice pianist I did not know and will feature next. https://youtu.be/9WHuKl09L1s Joe Davidian Trio – In Love In Vain This is a nice treatment of a standard tune recorded live as a video in the studio. https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=CjfOlUvoxpA&feature=share |
