The drummer and educator Terri Lyne Carrington is celebrating its 50th anniversary by releasing her rescoring of it. Christian McBride and Gerald Clayton occupy the all-important bass and piano chairs, respectively; they’re joined by additional guests like Clark Terry (!), Lizz Wright and Tia Fuller. »Jazz Albums To Look Out For In 2013 / NPR’s A Blog Supreme |

| « I try to reflect and do justice to all these people (re: Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin, Al Green, Coldplay), no matter what genre I’m in. Just tell the story. Getting to work with Bublé’s touring band, who are incredible and made this record with me, some of his stuff ended up in there for as beautifully as Michael interprets a song, he’s a great songwriter too. So, it all kind of came together. »Huffington Post |

Otis Taylor featuring Mato Nanji
‘My World Is Gone‘
|
| ORDER CD: |

« My world is gone, Indigenous frontman Mato Nanji once told local bluesman Otis Taylor, in reference to his people, the Nakota Nation. The heaviness of those four words inspired Taylor to make this album, which, for the most part, deals with Native American culture and history. Taylor digs into his trademark trance blues on cuts like ‘Lost My Horse,’ the unhurried, John Lee Hooker-esque ‘The Wind Comes In,’ and ‘Never Been to the Reservation,’ all of which feature outstanding guitar work from Nanji, who plays on six of the album’s songs. »

| « When I listen to Patricia Barber sing, I think of her not so much as a jazz singer than as a poet reciting her work, with the depth and feeling that only the originator of that work can deliver. A poet who happens to be a technically polished pianist, a clever arranger and bandleader. OK, so it’s perhaps more accurate to state that she’s a great poet who is also a legitimate musician. Kind of astonishing when you consider there are scant few these days who are so good at both anywhere near the field of jazz. »Something Else! |
