Info:

Samuel Blaser plays Winfried Rapp trombones; Pierre Favre plays his own instrument - drum & percussion >>>>>>> Swiss master drummer Pierre Favre celebrated on the June 2nd his 85th birthday, and «Same Place, Another Time» is a beautiful birthday present to this gifted musician who has not released an album since 2015 («DrumSights», Intakt, 2015), radiating the wisdom of experience and joy of good company. Fellow Swiss trombonist Samuel Blaser provides the necessary good company, and both Favre and Blaser are from the same place, the same part of Switzerland, but, obviously, born at different times. Blaser was born 44 years after Favre, but it is clear that both enjoy the company of each other. They toured together in China, the United States and all over Europe and «Same Place, Another Time» is their second duo album, following «Vol À Voile» (Intakt, 2010). The album was recorded at Klein Theater in Luzernin in October 2018 and released on Blaser’s label as vinyl or a digital download (with two bonus pieces). As writer Bill Meyer notes in his liner notes, the spirit of good humor, as well as the personal and musical bond that Favre and Blaser have forged, pervades «Same Place, Another Time». both Favre and Blaser are well-versed in the legacy of jazz but neither feels bound only to it. Favre opened himself to a world of rhythms to fashion his Singing Drums music, and Blaser has found inspiration in opera, rock steady, and the blues. Both collaborated with some of the most innovative, free-minded improvisers. Favre belongs to the first generation of European free improvisers and played with Don Cherry, Albert Mangelsdorff, Irène Schweizer, and Peter Brötzmann, and Blaser with Daniel Humair, Gerry Hemingway, and Paul Motian. And like good friends, Favre and Blaser converse with earth other, trading stories and secrets, and share common memories throughout textual free improvisations. Favre playing is masterful and he can articulate a melody using only cymbals and a few strokes on the drums. But he still insists on a swinging touch even on the most open improvisations (check «Daily Journal» or the bluesy «La danse des ours»), and often creates a drama with shifting rhythmic patterns (check «Roosters»). And Favre cleverly anchors Blaser’s adventurous, singing flights in playful dynamics with his poetic, minimalist touches, especially on the two standards, Thelonious Monk’s «Round Midnight» and the most beautiful version of Duke Ellington’s «Mood Indigo».

Info:

London-based label Camille 3000 is proud to announce the new release ‘Piccioni in Orbit’, out on February 25th. For the first time on vinyl, ‘Piccioni in Orbit’ is a journey on Piero Piccioni’s “space music” . The 12 tracks of the LP are all composed, arranged and conducted by Piero Piccioni; some of them were never released on vinyl before and come directly from Piccioni’s archive and original master tapes. Piero Piccioni has determined Italian Jazz on the compositional level, starting from a unique harmonic construction, whose melodic identification is pure resonance. He was among the very few to have paved the way for the Italian Bossa Nova. More than any other, he was the most prominent figure in European space-age music, the last smoke of romanticism, which originated in 1947 America through Les Baxter, Harry Revel and the thereminist Dr Samuel Hoffman.

Bass – Christian McBride (1, 2, 11, 12), Marc Johnson (3 to 10, 13); drums – Carl Allen (1 to 3, 11, 12), Jack DeJohnette (3 to 10, 13); piano – Eliane Elias; voice – Eliane Elias (3, 4, 7, 12) >>>>>>> Eliane Elias is such a fine hard bop/post-bop pianist that it is a pity that she occasionally feels compelled to vocalize; her singing voice is small, quiet, and unimpressive. However, other than her brief vocals on "The Beat of My Heart," "I Fall in Love Too Easily," and "Blah Blah Blah," this is a strong trio set. Elias interacts with either the bass-drum team of Marc Johnson and Jack DeJohnette or Christian McBride and Carl Allen, with guitarist Rodney Jones just popping up briefly on one song. Elias' playing is often introspective, but always very expressive and she swings hard on the faster pieces. She is one of the underrated greats of the jazz piano. ~ allmusic >>>>>>> "Everything I Love (2000) n'est pas vraiment l'album de musique que j'écouterais si Eliane Elias n'était pas brésilienne. Il s'agit de son quatorzième album. Ses deux précédents albums, The Three Americas (1997) et Eliane Elias Sings Jobim (1998) faisaient la part belle à la musique de son continent sud-américain. Avec Everything I Love, Eliane Elias choisit de rendre hommage aux jazzmen qui l'ont inspirée : Charles Mingus, Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, Dizzy Gillespie, George Gershwin & Ira Gershwin, et bien d'autres. A noter qu'Eliane Elias n'est pas qu'une simple interprète et qu'elle sait joliment composer : "Bowing To Bud", "That's All It Was" et plusieurs introductions. Sur cet album, elle est épaulée par le bassiste vétéran Marc Johnson et le batteur Jack DeJohnette et les jeunes talents Christian McBride (bassiste) et Carl Allen (batterie). Les pistes les plus intéressantes sont celles où le trio ("Introduction #3: Autumn Leaves", par exemple) glisse vers l'improvisation jazzie." ~ Bossa-Normandie Miedj
