Good music is good music no matter what, but a little extra girl power never hurts. In observance of the story of Ethel Smyth and the critic who praised Smyth for ‘composing like a man’, tenThing knew that this had to be the title of their new album, released on the LAWO Classics label. It’s both wonderfully provocative and something to bring a wry smile to the face. From Clara Schumann and Fanny Mendelssohn to Florence Price and Ethel Smyth, this programme celebrates the work of female composers from around the world in world premiere transcriptions for the brass ensemble.

Second album from London based double bass player and composer Mark Rose, featuring Mike Outram, Chris Nickolls, Sam Leak and Sara Dowling. Mark re-imagines off-the-beaten-track Americana and Folk-Rock classics, exploring the modal sound-world and shifting rhythmic patterns he has nestled these melodies within. Mark puts his bass playing centre stage whilst providing his band with expansive arrangements in which to shine. The album’s themes of isolation, loneliness, longing, mystery, new beginnings, home and ultimately love, culminate in Mark’s reworking of Tom Waits’ House Where Nobody Lives, magically made her own by vocalist Sara Dowling.

I grew up in Newark, New Jersey where such great artists as James Moody, Sarah Vaughan, Walter Davis Jr., Hank Mobley were my neighbors and Wayne Shorter was my dear friend. Wayne and I went to grammar school and Arts High School together. I was very influenced by Wayne in every way and knew at young age that he was a genius. But I could not tolerate the cold winters, so I decided to move to Los Angeles. It was 1960. In 1961, I received a call from Jules Chaikin, a young contractor that I worked for, who knew my playing and asked if I wanted to go on the road with Stan Kenton. I was overwhelmed since this was one of the bands I dreamed of playing with. Nine months later we ended the tour at Capitol Records. I recorded three albums with the band, including “Adventures in Jazz” which won a Grammy for Stan and “Adventures in Blues” which Stan said was my album since it featured the bass walking predominantly through the whole album.

FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/96 kHz | Time – 01:05:35 minutes | 1,13 GB | Genre: Jazz
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Solo Art
James Price Johnson (February 1, 1894 – November 17, 1955) was an American pianist and composer. A pioneer of stride piano, he was one of the most important pianists in the early era of recording, and like Jelly Roll Morton, one of the key figures in the evolution of ragtime into what was eventually called jazz. Johnson was a major influence on Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Art Tatum, Thelonious Monk, and Fats Waller, who was his student.
Johnson composed many hit songs, including the unofficial anthem of the Roaring Twenties, “The Charleston”, and he remained the acknowledged king of New York jazz pianists through most of the 1930s. Johnson’s artistry, influence on early popular music, and contributions to musical theatre are often overlooked, and as such, he has been referred to by musicologist David Schiff as “The Invisible Pianist.”
