7/4 Posted February 23, 2008 Author Report Posted February 23, 2008 Mark Feldman is quite simply the best improviser out there right now on violin. There's others? Quote
Guest bluenote82 Posted February 23, 2008 Report Posted February 23, 2008 Mark Feldman is quite simply the best improviser out there right now on violin. There's others? Of course there are others, but he just has probably the best tone and approach that I've heard from a jazz violinist in quite some time. Quote

Billy Bang! + Carla Kihlstedt (in addition to the Tin Hat recordings check out the new duo with Satoko Fujii) & Jason Kao Hwang (his group Edge sounds great on the new CD Stories Before Within which also has some brilliant cornet playing from Taylor Ho Bynum).

7/4 Posted February 23, 2008 Author Report Posted February 23, 2008 Nuttree Quartet - Standards 2008 March 18 Release. A modern supergroup of some of the hottest jazz players around releases their debut album led by the legendary John Abercrombie on Guitar with Gary Versace - Hammond B3 organ, Jerry Bergonzi - Tenor Sax and Adam Nussbaum - Drums. They are friends who have all played together before, but never all at once in the same group. Tracks are: Our Love Is Here To Stay, Come Sunday, Footprints, Sometime Ago, Witchcraft, Israel, Eronel, All Or Nothing At All, 12 Bars To Go and the Coltrane classic Naima. Quote
7/4 Posted February 23, 2008 Author Report Posted February 23, 2008 More guitar duets, this time with Joe Beck. Joe Beck & John Abercrombie - Coincidence Man, I'm really enjoying this one. There just aren't enough guitar duet albums. Quote
Aggie87 Posted February 23, 2008 Report Posted February 23, 2008 It's not Abercrombie, but do you have the Coryell "Tributaries" album? It includes both Joe Beck and Scofield, all acoustic. Nice recording, with one solo track, a couple of duos, and the rest is all three together. Quote

7/4 Posted May 7, 2008 Author Report Posted May 7, 2008 The Nuttree Quartet Jazz Club Fasching Stockholm, Sweden April 1, 2008 Jerry Bergonzi (ts) John Abercrombie (g) Gary Versace (B-3 organ) Adam Nussbaum (d) I've been thinking about picking up the new CD by this group, but the 'all standards' approach suggests it might be a little sedate or overly familiar. Have you heard it? Sure have. I don't think it's sedate. I don't have a problem with them playing standards. I think I like the *private recording* better, but I'm still listening and checking them out. Quote

7/4 Posted May 7, 2008 Author Report Posted May 7, 2008 (edited) CDUniverse is listing: Topics Challenge Jazz CHR 70137 Personnel: John Abercrombie (guitar); John Ruocco (Clavinet). which doesn't seem right, clavinet? 1 Embraceable You (George & Ira Gerhswin) 2 Slides (John Abercrombie & John Ruocco) 3 Sometime Ago (Sergio Mihanovich) 4 Phrases (John Abercrombie & John Ruocco) 5 I Can’t Get Started (Vernon Duke & Ira Gershwin) 6 Trills (John Abercrombie & John Ruocco) 7 I Hear A Rhapsody (George Fragos, Jack Baker & Dick Gasparre) 8 Mutes (John Abercrombie & John Ruocco) 9 How Deep Is The Ocean (Irving Berlin) 10 Moraz (John Abercrombie & John Ruocco) 11 I’m Getting Sentimental Over You (George Bassman & Ned Washington) 12 Fast And Slow (John Abercrombie & John Ruocco) DESCRIPTION John & John: searching...listening...finding…hearing. Just a few hours, right here at the house, mumbling a song title, telling a joke. Two seasoned musicians: the context was the concept, the individuality more than strong enough – improvisation. The longer you listen, the more you hear. Subtle interaction - musical conversation: The sound gets in and stays. John & John. Thank you. A better definition than these poetic liner notes by Hein van de Geyn of this intimate chamber music-like jazz is hardly to give. The instrumentation brings a reminiscence to the famous recordings from the sixties by Jimmy Giuffre with Jim Hall. A similar heritage but the musical context is totally different: more introvert, lyrical and half a century more modern. Edited May 7, 2008 by 7/4 Quote

7/4 Posted October 14, 2008 Author Report Posted October 14, 2008 (edited) I find this is a very nice surprise. John Abercrombie & John Ruocco - Topics John Abercrombie - guitar John Ruocco - clarinet Fresh sounding material...mostly standards, very nice chamber music. There should be more new duos and small groups with non-sax winds... http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?pid=7639697 I'm 7/4 and I approve this message. Edited October 14, 2008 by 7/4 Quote

I think the top cover (with the OBI strip) was the original LP cover when released by Arista Novus. The bottom cover was the CD reissue; no idea why they felt the need for a picture frame. Quote

I'm under the impression that there was a bunch of CD releases called NovusSeries70 and they all had similar art work. Quote
