Ben Sidran - Nick's Bump (2003)

http://www.dodaj.rs/f/1T/er/3wtJS6LR/cover.jpg

Groove-oriented jazz didn't start with the organ combos and soul-jazz groups of the '60s and '70s; plenty of grooving occurred with Dixieland in the '10s and '20s and swing in the '30s and early to mid-'40s. But soul-jazz did remind the jazz world that it was still OK for an improviser to groove -- that not everything had to be as complex and demanding as John Coltrane's "Giant Steps" or Sonny Rollins' "Oleo." And those soul-jazz and jazz-funk grooves of the '60s and '70s continue to hold up well after all these years, which is why Ben Sidran celebrates that era on this 2003 date. Although Sidran is known for his singing, he favors an instrumental setting on Nick's Bump; this time, Sidran uses the Hammond organ and the electric piano to get his points across -- and he savors the funkier side of post-swing jazz whether he is embracing Sonny Clark's "Blue Minor," Donald Byrd's "Black Jack," or three Eddie Harris compositions ("Listen Here," "Mean Greens," and "Cryin' Blues"). If Nick's Bump sounds dated, it is dated in the positive sense -- dated as in remembering how rewarding a particular era was and being faithful to the spirit of that era. Nick's Bump recalls a time when soul-jazz players realized that jazz was losing more and more listeners to R&B and rock -- and that the only way to win over those Marvin Gaye, Rolling Stones, and James Brown fans was to groove and be accessible. Soul-jazz, unfortunately, didn't restore the mass appeal that jazz enjoyed during the Great Depression and World War II, but it was a noble effort -- one that Sidran happily remembers on Nick's Bump, which falls short of essential but is still an infectious, enjoyably funky demonstration of what he can do in an instrumental setting. ~ Alex Henderson
Jazz has always been about a party - "Having fun in spite of conditions," as saxophonist Johnny Griffin once said. It's originally and essentially street music, music that comes from the bars, the clubs, the corners where people hang out and share the news, "wash away the dust of everyday life," (Art Blakey said that.). In that social space, during the social time, a lot of magic can happen. And of course, from time to time, people in that frame of mind will have a drink. Nick's Bump is our drink of choice.
In the classic tradition of the fifties and sixties, when groups like Benny Golson's Jazztet and Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers would stay on the road perfecting their music before recording it, the Nick's Bump Band road tested this music through two years of touring in Europe, Japan and the United States. Nick's Bump, then, is a metaphor as well as a drink. It stands for having a good time, playing music, in the words of Horace Silver, that makes you wanna "pat your feet, pop your fingers, and shake...whatever else you want to shake."
The songs, too, come from the halcyon days of groove jazz -- Lee Morgan's "Zambia", Eddie Harris' "Mean Greens" and Sonny Clark's "Blue Minor" to mention a few -- and are brought up to date through the production and recording technology of the great Hector Coulon. "Coulon understands the past and is hands on with the future," says Sidran, commenting on Coulon's drum-centric mixes and his skillful blending of the wisdom of Art Blakey and Dizzy Gillespie, captured via audio excerpts from Sidran's own enormous stockpile of jazz interviews. These interviews, collected over ten years, from 1981 through 1990, when Sidran was the host of National Public Radio's Jazz Alive! And Sidran on Record, will one day be released as a series of "Talking Jazz" CDs, conversations with many jazz greats, but they make their public debut here onNick's Bump.
Nick's Bump finds Ben Sidran returning to his roots on the Wurlitzer electric piano and Hammond B-3 organ, instruments he helped popularize during the early seventies with his recordings for the Blue Thumb and Arista labels, classic sides that were heard on jazz and rock stations across the country. Over the years, several ofJazzTimes (p.140) - "[A] studio album that swings with the spontaneity and inventiveness of live performance....[T]horoughly enjoyable."\

The Cinematic Orchestra - Live At The Royal Albert Hall (2008)

http://www.dodaj.rs/f/3B/11d/MRYsmwU/cover.jpg

If you were one of the 4,000 lucky ones to make it to the Royal Albert Hall - that great gift of a fancy and giant musical venue with all the prestige of a fantasy castle in the clouds - then I suppose you're gagging to get your hands on this album. For the many millions who weren't there, I feel your pain.
The fact that this was an epic gig in an epic venue doesn't really matter when it's just you, your headphones and a bottle of Wolf Blass yellow. Yes, it will be a nice reminder for those former audience members - something to keep the memories alive - but it is also just a beautiful album from the ever-inspiring Cinematic Orchestra.
Their blend of jazz, funk, hip hop and ambient loveliness shines through. You can feel the buzz in the venue, you can sense the neck hairs standing to attention en mass, you can even imagine an annoying guy in front of you doing the jazzy head wobble all the way through.
The Miles Davis horns, the film score strings, the most amazing drumming, which I can only imagine must be from some eight armed unstoppable drumming machine, the soft, roomy and woody piano - Oh God, why wasn't I there?!
The playing is so superb, the sound of the audience clapping and whooping is the only thing that reminds you these guys are playing live. There's no take two, no layering up a little to make a fuller sound. It's all there.
The show took place on 2nd November last year, following a year of intense touring. The band returned to the city where it all started, but, this time, with an enhanced line up. Main man Jason Swinscoe brought with him the 24-piece Heritage Orchestra, and at times, there were more than 40 musicians on stage.
Gorgeous soul-drenched vocals came from Heidi Vogel, Lou Rhodes (formerly of Lamb, and Grey Reverend, with the return of original member PC on the decks.
The sax solo on Ode to the Big Sea, followed by the whirlpool swirls of the thick and magical strings can leave you in tears, as do the dark, rich and emotional string arrangements of closing number Time & Space, with the onomatopoeic electro crackles symbolising the other world this music takes you to. The gentle Fender Rhodes, funky electric guitar, '70s cop show brass and the tightest of tight, crazy drumming of Flite is another track where all you can do is stop, listen and...nope, that's it.
This is not just a band - this is orchestra by name and orchestra by nature - and what an immense experience it is.

Bob Mamet - Signs Of Life (1994)

http://www.dodaj.rs/f/2s/Cr/2QNlIpuW/1/cover.jpg

Bob Mamet is an internationally acclaimed Jazz pianist and composer. Born and raised in Chicago Illinois, he attended the prestigious Peabody Conservatory before heading west to Los Angeles to begin a career as a composer and studio musician. Over the next several years he composed music for over a hundred projects in T.V. film, and advertising, in addition to touring as a sideman and bandleader.

Bob\'s distinctive mixture of Jazz styles and composition caught the ear of the major record labels, and in 1994 he signed with Atlantic Records. Bob recorded three highly successful albums for Atlantic, plus additional recordings for Sony and Warner Brothers. His collaborations with artists such as Alex Acuna, Larry Carlton, Eric Marienthal, Gerald Albright, David Benoit and countless other top artists led Jazziz magazine to proclaim him a \"brilliant composer\" who gives his players \"an intelligent, thoughtful, and vibrant musical landscape in which to work.\"

During this period Bob released a string of hit records, garnering extensive radio airplay worldwide. Most notable among these was \"Greenstreet,\" a hybrid of acoustic and contemporary Jazz idioms. Greenstreet captured the imagination of Jazz and Pop listeners alike, topping the charts for 7 weeks, and remaining to this day a fixture on the radio.

Bob has played sold out shows from large festivals to renowned Jazz clubs, incorporating vibrant and diverse styles into his acoustic piano performances. He has been described as a \"master of melody and structure\" by The San Francisco Chronicle; \"adventurous. sparkling. intriguing\" by Jazz Times Magazine; and the Chicago Sun Times calls him simply \"The Natural.\"

Bob has continued to compose music for a variety of projects, including the critically acclaimed score for the film \"Lakeboat.\" It features a 60-piece orchestra with individual Jazz Trio vignettes, each one corresponding to a different character in the film. The lyrical acoustic Jazz approach Bob utilized in the soundtrack became the catalyst for his latest CD Impromptu.

Impromptu marks Bob\'s long awaited return to the recording studio, and is his first as the Bob Mamet Trio. The ten original compositions are a modern take on the classic Jazz trio, invoking the memory of great Jazz pianists such as Bill Evans and Vince Guaraldi. Released in March of 2010, Impromptu has become a nationwide success, recently reaching #2 on the Jazz charts. Jazz Times Magazine calls it \"Vibrant..sparkling...swinging [and] sublime\" and All About Jazz proclaims: \"A tour-de-force display of musicianship...Mamet is on Fire!\" The album features stellar supporting performances by virtuoso bassist Darek Oles, and legendary drummer Joe La Barbera. Darek is one of Europe\'s most celebrated bass players and his duets with famed pianist Brad Mehldau have garnered critical acclaim worldwide. Joe La Barbera played drums in the legendary trio that included Bill Evans on piano and Marc Johnson on bass, creating some of the most influential albums in Jazz history.
Bob Mamet showed considerable promise on his debut album, Signs of Life, which could easily be described as "pop-jazz with a brain." This 1994 release is hardly the work of a jazz purist or a bop snob; the pianist/keyboardist combines jazz with elements of pop, rock, and R&B, and he has been heavily influenced by the electric work of Chick Corea, the Yellowjackets, and Joe Sample. But at the same time, anyone who claims that Signs of Life is merely instrumental pop doesn't give Mamet enough credit -- the pop elements are strong, but so are the jazz elements. Mamet brings an improviser's mentality to the table, and he enjoys a real dialogue with well-known guests like guitarist Larry Carlton, saxman Sam Riney, and Yellowjackets members Jimmy Haslip (bass) and William Kennedy (drums). Another guest is saxman Richard Elliot, and here's the ironic part: Elliot's playing is a lot more substantial and meaty on Signs of Life than it is on his own albums. Elliot has recorded more than his share of brainless elevator Muzak, but he sounds pretty good on Mamet's debut. Meanwhile, Mamet detours into straight-ahead jazz on Miles Davis' "Nardis," which finds him forming a traditional piano trio with Haslip and Kennedy. But most of the time, he favors a pop-jazz approach on Signs of Life, which is definitely his strongest and most consistent album. ~ Alex Henderson, All Music Guide
