A landmark in 70s jazz and Latin -- one of 2 legendary sets cut during the decade by composer/arranger Bobby Vince Paunetto -- easily one of the most unique voices of his generation! Bobby's got an approach to melody that's all tied up in the rhythms -- one that has most of the instruments in the group vamping along with the grooves, while solos take off in wonderful flights that soar to the skies on waves of sound and soul -- echoing a sense of joy and life that few other albums of the period can match, and hitting a groove that's complex, yet instantly moving and deeply personal.
Players include Tom Harrell on trumpet, Ronnie Cuber on baritone sax, Billy Drewes on soprano sax, and Bobby himself on vibes -- sounding wonderful throughout the album, matching the 70s brilliance of Roy Ayers or Bobby Hutcherson! Also features percussion by Manny Oquendo, Jerry Gonzalez, and Milton Cardona -- and titles include "Osiris", "Fenway Funk", "In Time's Time", "Spanish Maiden" and "Brother Will". Essential!
Enjoy it!

"A fine trumpeter influenced by Freddie Hubbard and Miles Davis, Terumasa Hino has long been one of Japan's best jazz musicians. A professional since 1955, Hino has mostly become known to Americans since the 1970s due to his Enja recordings, although some of his albums were made available domestically by Catalyst, Inner City, and Blue Note. He moved to the U.S. in 1975, where he worked with Gil Evans, Jackie McLean, Dave Liebman, and Elvin Jones. Hino spent more of his time in Japan after the early '80s, and recorded in several different styles ranging from straight-ahead to fusion."AMG

From Rahsaan Roland Kirk to Ray Charles to Art Blakey, Dizzy Gillespie, McCoy Tyner and Tito Puente, Steve Turre's musical family is a rainbow of the highest order. Whether in the studio or onstage, the trombonist always takes music to a righteous level. For this year's Rainbow People, Turre mixes it up with Kenny Garrett, Mulgrew Miller, Peter Washington, Ignacio Berroa, Sean Jones and Pedro Martinez. The title track is just one of nine bright moments from one of 2008's best albums.

Avec son snobisme, ses codes, sa complexité, le jazz peut faire peur. Comment l’approcher ? Par quel artiste, par quel disque commencer pour appréhender le patrimoine pharaonique de cette musique qui aura bientôt un siècle ? Evidemment, il y a le Kind of blue de Miles Davis, le jazz vocal à la Billie Holiday, les blues de Louis Armstrong et mille autres voies... Pour ma part, j’ai tendance à croire que le hard-bop funky et latin de Song for my father constitue l’entrée en matière parfaite.
Découvert par Stan Getz, Horace Silver travaille dès ses premières années d’activité avec Miles, Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young et Milt Jackson. Du sérieux, donc. En 1953, il fonde les Jazz Messengers avec Art Blakey, le batteur absolu. Durant cette période décisive, il façonne son style et incorpore au jazz le gospel et le RnB pour créer le hard-bop. Peu à peu, des éléments funky se greffent à ce patchwork d’influences déjà bariolé, et le hard-bop se mue en soul jazz. Song for my father, avec le Sidewinder (1963) du trompettiste Lee Morgan, est le manifeste de cette nouvelle ère placée sous l’égide du groove. Un disque facile d’accès, dansant et ouvertement hédoniste. Sur Blue Note, bien entendu.
Les breaks de batterie sont charnus, rebondissants. Le piano, percussif et virevoltant. Les cuivres papillonent sur des mélodies-friandises. A lui seul, le morceau éponyme suffit à tomber en pâmoison : sur un thème catchy à mort, Joe Henderson glisse l’un des plus beaux solos de saxophone jamais enregistré. Indescriptible. Sur le délicat "Calcutta Cutie", c’est Silver qui échappe à toute tentative d’analyse avec un solo bégayant et monkien percé d’éclaircies bluesy. L’ensemble est d’une rare cohérence, bien qu’issu de deux sessions différentes. Difficile de distinguer les deux quintets mis à contribution, chacun s’épanchant dans une même joie solaire dont la sincérité ne peut être mise en doute. La coloration latine de la majorité des titres sonne comme une exploration de ses racines par le pianiste puisque son père, John Tavares Silver, qui fume le cigare sur la pochette de l’album, était musicien au Cap Vert. L’année suivante, le fiston poursuivra cette quête des origines et sortira un Cape Verdean Blues (1965) au nom explicite. Une nouvelle bombe. Mais ça, c’est une autre histoire...
En bref : groove latin rayonnant pour cette pierre angulaire du jazz funky.

Nearly 10 years into leading the winkingly named instrumental trio the Nels Cline Singers, it's hard to imagine what fringe of jazz and improvised rock could be unearthed next by the local guitar hero who joined the boundary-pushing band Wilco in 2004.
Now with their fourth album, Cline and a taut but feral rhythm section of bassist Devin Hoff and drummer Scott Amendola have regrouped for an often-breathtaking recording that's also their most rewarding and immediately approachable listen.
A sprawling double album split between one disc of studio recordings and a bare-knuckled live set, "Initiate" is steeped in the worldbeat-dusted jazz-rock of the ‘70s. Opening with a swirling chorus of electronic effects, they land a bracing first shot with "Floored," which finds Cline flexing a guitar tone akin to the warped keyboards of Chick Corea's work in Miles Davis' electric period while Amendola and Hoff lay down a concrete-busting funk-rock groove. "King Queen" forges a sort of psychedelic take on Cuban jazz as Cline and guest organist David Witham ride Hoff's elliptical bassline, building an insistent melody that opens to the outer limits.
They also show a more delicate side with "Divining" and "Zingiber" -- tracks featuring an atmospheric chorus of actual singing from the trio -- but with the second disc the group lays on the throttle and seldom lets up. Highlighted by a blistering, 14-minute cover of Weather Report's "Boogie Woogie Waltz" (featuring members of San Francisco indie band Deerhoof), they course through fiery improvisations while also nodding toward jazz tradition with a cover of Carla Bley's "And Now, the Queen" and a Jim Hall-dedicated version of the Singers' comparatively straightforward "Blues, Too."
Engrossing and ceaselessly inventive, "Initiate" isn't always easy listening, but it's essential for lovers of jazz and its fertile frontier.
