THE HEART OF A LEGEND

• UPC: 3448416

Personnel: McCoy Tyner (piano); Gary Bartz (saxophone); Terence Blanchard (trumpet); Christian McBride (bass instrument); Lewis Nash (drums).Recording information: Avatar, New York, New York (11/18/2003 - 11/19/2003).ILLUMINATIONS finds McCoy Tyner, some 40 years after his best-known work (as a member of John Coltrane's legendary early-1960s quartet), still kicking. Tyner's energies as a session leader, composer, and ever-progressive musician haven't flagged since the mid-'60's, when the pianist started heading his own dates. On this 2004 album, as per usual, Tyner has surrounded himself with some of the finest personnel in jazz, including bassist Christian McBride, sax player Gary Bartz, and trumpeter Terence Blanchard.Tyner's music is appealing for its balance of familiar hard-bop vocabulary and intricately wrought structures--it is rhythmic and accessible, yet intellectually engaging. Tyner plays with great vigor, mixing virtuoso classical flourishes with bold chords and dazzlingly complex solos. His compositions here touch on avant-bebop ("The Chase"), Latin groove ("Angelina"), and smooth swing (the title track--on which all the musicians get a chance to stretch out). Blanchard's playing is especially notable, substantiating the melody lines in the chorus and blazing on the solos (as on "New Orleans Stomp," driven by a classic second-line beat). The high quality of music here--in conception and execution--should come as no surprise to long-time fans of Tyner or his sidemen.

Personnel: Coleman Hawkins (tenor saxophone); Idrees Sulieman (trumpet); J.J. Johnson (trombone); Hank Jones (piano); Barry Galbraith (guitar); Oscar Pettiford (bass); Jo Jones (drums).Recorded at Reeves Sound Studios, New York, New York on March 12 & 15, 1957. Originally released on Riverside (233). Includes liner notes by Orrin Keepnews.Digitally remasterd by Joe Tarantino (1987, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California).THE HAWK THAT FLIES HIGH is a swingin' small group session lead by Coleman Hawkins in 1957. This album features the then-young bebop musicians J.J. Johnson (trombone), Idrees Sulieman (trumpet), Barry Galbraith (guitar), Oscar Pettiford (bass), and the great Hank Jones (piano).The rhythm section plays with a quieter, calmer approach to the music best evidenced by the opening track "Chant." However, early hard-bop is heard on tracks such as "Juicy Fruit" and "Blue Lights." Refusing to be pigeon-holed, Hawkins returns to his swing roots with "Sanctity." This is one of Hawk's best efforts from to come out of the 1950s.

Personnel includes: Erin McKeown (vocals, various instruments); Dave Chalfant(electric guitar, upright & electric basses, percussion, samples); Katryna Nields, Beth Amsel (background vocals).Recorded at Sackamusic Studios, Amhearst, Massachusetts between October 1999 & January 2000.Virginia-born and New England-based, Erin McKeown's musical roots seem to lie somewhere in the deep South. Throughout her aptly named debut, DISTILLATION, you can hear echoes of Robert Johnson, G. Love, the Faulknerian landscape of the first couple albums by the Band, and most obviously, the rural mythos best explored, from entirely different angles, by those Louisiana-born Williams non-sisters, Victoria and Lucinda.While nowhere near as helium-pitched, McKeown shares Victoria's fondness for odd, jazz-inflected phrasing, especially on the swooping vocal melody of the Tin Pan Alleyish "Didn't They?," on which McKeown soars and dives like a drunken seagull, or the Billie Holidayesque trills in "The Little Cowboy." What McKeown has in common with Lucinda Williams is her wry but essentially romantic, tradition-rooted but not bound lyrical stance. The countryish "La Petite Mort," with its sly sex-and-religion twining, would not have sounded out of place on CAR WHEELS ON A GRAVEL ROAD.

Full title: Michael Feinstein With The Israel Philharmonic Orchestra.This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.Personnel includes: Michael Feinstein (vocals, piano); Alan Broadbent (arranger, conductor, piano); Avishai Cohen (bass); Albie Berk (drums); The Israel Philharmonic Orchestra.Producers: Allen Sviridoff, Leslie Ann Jones.Recorded at The Mann Auditorium, Tel Aviv, Israel; Capitol, Hollywood,California; Skywalker Sound Studios, Marin County, California. Includes linernotes by Michael Feinstein. MICHAEL FEINSTEIN WITH THE ISRAEL PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA was nominated forthe 2003 Grammy Awards for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.Though he's one of the premier modern interpreters of the Great American Songbook, Michael Feinstein went until 2001 without ever releasing an album featuring symphony orchestra. His intimate, cabaret-bred interpretive style might strike some as an unusual match for full orchestra, but Alan Broadbent's arrangements (and the orchestra's innate gifts) ensure that Feinstein's up-close-and-personal vocal approach is never overwhelmed. Whether delivering a lovelorn ballad like "Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out to Dry" or getting bold and swinging on "The Best Is Yet To Come," Feinstein glides along smoothly on the sensuous sonic blanket the orchestra provides, making for a rich, distinctive recording.
