Synopsis
Product Description
JRI Recordings is delighted to announce the release of the Jazz Arts Trio's second CD: "Swing of Many Colors." Where "Tribute" was an introduction to the idea of reinterpreting great jazz trios of the past, "Swing of Many Colors" is total immersion!
Here the trio tackles even more challenging repertoire, most notably a "reperformance" of the entire 1958 Ahmad Jamal Trio LP "But Not For Me: Live at the Pershing." This was one of the most influential jazz recordings of all time, inspiring Miles Davis and other exponents of the Cool Jazz movement with its use of space and democratic focus on all three instruments. Pete, Pete and Fred felt the entire LP was so miraculously constructed that we couldn't just pick one tune, but needed to play the entire album as a kind of classical suite.
Hugely challenging for Fred was taking on the idiosyncratic but virtuosic styles of Keith Jarrett and Chick Corea. The trio is also delighted to include a ravishing improvisation by Marian McPartland, one of great ladies of music. The CD features some incredible playing by bassist Peter Tillotson and drummer Peter Fraenkel, who sail through the work of (among others) bassists Ray Brown and Paul Chambers and drummers Ed Thigpen and Philly Joe Jones. And of course they had to include Oscar Peterson! If he has a signature piece, it is "Night Train." And "Fly Me To the Moon" is one long perfectly crafted crescendo -- Oscar in the mid-1970's at the top of his game.
The CD is packaged as one of JRI Recordings' elegant "CDBooks" with extensive notes by noted jazz author Scott Yanow and original drawings by Manny Wise.
