-Titulo Original : Audio CD - COMPLETE BILLY MAY SESSIONS [REMASTERED WITH BONUS TRACKS] - COLE,NAT KING-Fabricante : Essential Jazz Class-Descripcion Original: The Ingrid Laubrock Octet grew out of Laubrocks London based nine piece ensemble Nein. The new lineup includes some outstanding soloists and reflects her musical environment in London and New York. In 2011 the saxophonist and composer was offered the opportunity by Southwest German Radio (SWR) to work with her octet for several days at the SWRJazz Meeting in Baden-Baden, to develop a repertoire and present it on tour. The following concert at the Rote Fabrik in Zurich was then recorded by the public broadcaster. In the liner notes critic and producer Reinhard Kager wrote about the debut: This is exactly what constitutes the strength of Ingrid Laubrocks music: it is not easily pigeonholed and it takes its impulses from the most diverse genres. And this kind of refreshing versatility is exactly what counts in todays improvised music...

-Titulo Original : Audio CD - COMPLETE LIVE AT CAFE MONTMARTRE - TAYLOR,CECIL-Fabricante : Essential Jazz Class-Descripcion Original: Other than it being wicked strong, there s no telling what Kidd Jordan will blow next. - NEW YORK PRESS Jordan launches his solos by building them layer by dynamic layer. [He ignites] the atmosphere with an overwhelming abundance of innovation and musicality. - ONE FINAL NOTE William Parker and Hamid Drake are the best rhythm section in jazz right now. -ALTERNATIVE PRESS For some time, AUM Fidelity has wanted to produce an album featuring legendary New Orleans saxophonist Kidd Jordan with fellow master musicians William Parker and Hamid Drake. Finally, everything came together last summer and then Hurricane Katrina hit. A week later, when AUM finally reached Jordan by phone and asked if he would still be able to make the session, he said, Yeah man, let s do it!. Kidd Jordan is the patriarch of one of New Orleans three principal contemporary families of music (along with the Marsalis and the Nevilles). A partial list of artists he has performed with over the last 40 years includes Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Frank Sinatra, Aretha Franklin, The Supremes, Ornette Coleman, Sun Ra Arkestra, Ellis Marsalis, The Temptations, and Cecil Taylor. Palm of Soul presents three master musicians in intimate musical conversation at the highest levels, rendering songs and trance pieces that elicit the full gamut of emotions. A major, utterly distinct, and distinguished album, this is most definitely foreground music. New Orleans tenor saxophone legend Kidd Jordans annual treks north to perform late-night sets with Windy City tenor legend Fred Anderson during the run of the Chicago Jazz Festival have become an institution. Though Anderson isnt featured on Palm of Soul, recorded in Brooklyn a few weeks after Hurricane Katrina destroyed Jordans home, two of the mainstays of those afterfest gigs, Chicago drummer Hamid Drakeand New York bassist William Parker, are. Were used to playing together, says Jordan, who not only thrives on their company on this spiritually charged session, he also thrives on the wider open spaces he has to work in. The spirit of John Coltrane hovers over the incantatory passages and charged, repeating phrases, and the ghost of Albert Ayler is detected in the squalls that climax Living Peace after nearly 15 minutes of loping reflection. But with the remarkable Drake also playing frame drums and tablas in conjunction with Parkers African guimbri and gongs, there is an elemental strength and elegant sense of control to this music that give it a quality all its own. --Lloyd Sach...
