Manush of the Rousillon ... Well. But how did they get here?
We know that from the year miles, the Manush leave for a first flight the Indian province of Punjab, through Persia and Turkey to arrive in the XII century. Some continue to Egypt, others to Armenia, but in the fourteenth century, there is a large community in the Balkans and especially in Romania. They then dispersed throughout Europe (Germany (1418), France (1427), Switzerland, Spain (1425), Italy, Baltic (1500), England, even in Algeria and to Russia (XVII) .. ..) A second flight will take place thereafter at the abolition of slavery in Romania (second half of the nineteenth century).
As for our Manush du Roussillon, leaving Marseille in 1939, fleeing the war. They settled a time in Spain before returning to the 50s in the eastern Pyrenees and the region of Perpignan. They are still leading a life of semi-sedentary.
This disc was published in 1992 in collaboration with "Friendship Gypsy" and the department "Traditional Music" Conservatory of Perpignan. We present the friendly "Zaпti Band", composed of musicians from families Doerr, Adel and Adolpho all from the region of Perpignan. The repertoire includes waltzes Manush, standards, parts and singing traditional religious festival or played ... unpretentious but with great heart. Just like home!
It's real music caravan, with one side "roots" infinitely endearing. The booklet also offers an ethnological of this music particularly insightful. Published by Stoch

Probably all of the superlatives have been used at one time or another to describe the playing of Art Tatum. His technical ability on the piano has surely never been equalled, let alone surpassed. Possibly the only pianists to come anywhere near in terms of sheer mastery of the instrument have been, at their very best, Bud Powell and Oscar Peterson. Styles and tastes have certainly changed but Tatum remains a colossus of modern music. The clarity of his up tempo playing is absolutely awe-inspiring and his melodic and harmonic invention beggar description in terms of facility and creativity.
This disc is a compilation of solo performances, which arguably show Tatum at his best. There are many recordings available which feature the trio and also illustrate the pianist's undeniable talent as an accompanist but there is always the feeling that he is somewhat hampered by the presence of other musicians, no matter how talented they might be. There is a certain abandon in his best solo recordings that never seems to be there even with players of exceptional ability whether it be a virtuosic clarinettist such as Buddy De Franco or a more rhapsodic interpreter such as Ben Webster.
The selections here contain many of the pianist's warhorses including the title track, " Tea For Two," "Get Happy" and two truly excellent versions of George Gershwin's "Liza". All of Art Tatum's trademark devices are present including sudden tempo changes, outrageous melodic sequences and spiralling arabesques .
This is an essential for any lover of the piano in Jazz and is doubly attractive because of the low price and excellent presentation.

One of the finest guitarists to emerge after the death of Charlie Christian, Barney Kessel was a reliable bop soloist throughout his career. He played with a big band fronted by Chico Marx (1943), was fortunate enough to appear in the classic jazz short Jammin' the Blues (1944), and then worked with the big bands of Charlie Barnet (1944-1945) and Artie Shaw (1945); he also recorded with Shaw's Gramercy Five. Kessel became a busy studio musician in Los Angeles, but was always in demand for jazz records.
On this nice compilation, you can hear him together with Oscar Peterson, Ray Brwon, Shelly Manne, Art Pepper anf many others

Latcho Drom was born in 1993 under the leadership of its leader, the excellent guitarist Christophe Lartilleux. The group (variable geometry) has since released several albums including the 2001 Live presenting for the first time in training violinist Florin Niculescu and the famous pump / singer charm, of course, Doudou Cuillerier.

One of the best settings for trumpeter Chet Baker was when he was accompanied by a guitar-bass duo. On this excellent Criss Cross CD, Baker is joined by guitarist Philip Catherine and bassist Jean-Louis Rassinfosse on a variety of high-quality standards that include such songs as "If I Should Lose You," Horace Silver's "Doodlin'," "Conception" and "Love for Sale." A special treat is hearing the talented but forgotten Bob Zieff's "Sad Walk." This is one of Baker's better albums from his later period. ~ AMG

Вот уж где ни убавить, ни прибавить. Классика джаза, как по своему духу, так и по своему музыкальному содержанию, сыгранная тремя известнейшими джазовыми музыкантами. Слушать приятно. Сыграно и аранжировано безупречно. Акцент, естественно, смещен в сторону клавиш и причина тому ясна. Но все узнается, если не с первых аккордов, то уж нескольких последующих точно. Рекомендую. Добротно и не скучно.
For this tribute to John Coltrane (which he performs with bassist Avery Sharpe and drummer Aaron Scott), pianist McCoy Tyner performs some offbeat material including 'Trane pieces that preceded his stay with the classic quartet (such as "Giant Steps") plus a few unrelated standards (including "In Walked Bud" and "Good Morning Heartache"). Six of the nine selections were composed by Coltrane and, although this was his umpteenth 'Trane tribute, McCoy Tyner still sounds enthusiastic and adventurous performing the timeless music. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide

Sublime ballad work from Dutch vocalist Ann Burton -- sung with near-invisible accompaniment from the Louis Van Dyke trio! Van Dyke's got an especially tender touch on the keys -- one that hangs in air with great space between the notes -- a mode that's simply perfect for Ann's ethereal way of putting over a tune! Tracks are mostly familiar standards, but they've got a fragile approach here that makes them sound especially fresh -- and a few tracks feature some especially nice tenor sax work from Rudy Brink.
