Kenny Burrell - Laid Back

[ 6:14] 11. My One And Only Love
[ 5:27] 12. In A Mellow Tone

This Kenny Burrell compilation from 32 Jazz collects some of the guitarist's best work recorded for the Muse label between 1978 and 1983. Perhaps not the Detroit native's most essential period, but a sorely overlooked one that reveals some great moments. Featuring variously Larry Gales, Reggie Johnson, and Rufus Reid on bass with Sherman Ferguson and Ben Riley on drums, the tracks are resolutely stripped back. In fact, the real joy here is that with the intimate trio setting one really gets to hear Burrell attack each song head-on in his own bluesy, minimalist style. Included here is an earthy rendition of "All Blues" that showcases Burrell comping behind his own tasteful blues choruses and a gorgeous afterglow version of J.J. Johnson's "Lament." ~Matt Collar

[4:17] 8. Longer
[4:14] 9. Save Room
[4:30] 10. Fields Of Gold
[5:30] 11. The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

For the eternal romantic: Eleven unforgettable selections include the poignant Matt Dusk and Eleanor duet To Make You Feel My Love, Always On My Mind, Fields of Gold and Both Sides Now. The song selection for Runaway started simply: three songs that Eleanor McCain simply couldn’t live without.

The New Brunswick native found it a tough, but comforting challenge. “I’m drawn to songs that emphasize the human connection, most of which happen to be love songs.”

With producer Matt Dusk and co-producer Shelly Berger helping with the selection, there are eleven songs -- some familiar classics, others soon-to-be-discovered contemporary gems – that are lushly orchestrated by Berger, commencing with the title track, “Runaway,” a number that accentuates the infatuation felt between partners in the early stages of romance.

Profile: Mike Lipskin
For many years local jazz fans and those from remote parts of the United States and Europe have come to San Francisco's night spots and concert venues to hear jazz pianist Mike Lipskin perform sparkling musical gems in the Harlem Stride jazz piano style. Very few contemporary jazz pianists can play Harlem Stride, the sound of Fats Waller, James P. Johnson, Duke Ellington, and Art Tatum. Mike is one of these exceedingly rare pianists and has even created his own stride sound and composes new pieces in this vibrant full jazz piano sound--some of which can be heard on his recordings for Buskirk Productions and Downtown Records. He's played Carnegie Hall, Davies Symphony Hall, 92nd Street "Y" and Newport Jazz Festival and appeared in the jazz documentary film, "A Great Day In Harlem," devoted to the legendary Esquire Magazine 1958 NY jazz photo session. He suppling rare photos he shot when age 15 for the film and a book of the same subject, which he co-edited. Lipskin co-produced and appears in a PBS documentary on Willie The Lion Smith airing on TV around the nation, and was music director for and performed in five SF JAZZ "Stride Summit" concerts at San Francisco's Davies Symphony Hall, and Masonic Auditorium, from 1988 through 2004. He’s performed with Woody Allen and Dick Hyman in New York City and had a 23 concert European tour in conjunction with his first release on the Swiss label, Downtown Records. 

Lipskin has seven recordings to his credit, the last two with Dinah Lee, a wonderful jazz vocalist. Born in New York, Mike first fell in love with Waller records when he was 4 years old and was hooked on the style from then on. By the time he was in high school he was traveling to Harlem, learning from the remaining Stride masters such as Willie The Lion Smith, Luckey Roberts, Cliff Johnson, and the amazing Donald Lambert. During his last years in high school and his four at Bard College, New York, Mike made archive recordings of the remaining Stride figures. Trying to interest record companies in issuing these tapes led to a position as producer at RCA Records, New York, when Mike was 21. During his 13 years there he produced historical reissues for the Vintage Series, developed engineering skills and worked on a widely acclaimed analogue technical process for rehabilitation of ancient recordings. He also produced new albums by artists such as Lighthouse, Gil Evans, Blue Mitchell, Cedar Walton, Lonnie Liston Smith, Roger Troy and Ryo Kawasaki. He practices entertainment, trade mark, real estate and civil litigation law in San Francisco.

Profile: Dinah Lee
Dinah Lee has been singing great jazz songs for over 20 years, first in Arizona with The River Boat ramblers, The Notables, and Swing Time, and Her Men Of Note. Born in Ohio, she showed signs of musical sensitivity when very young and by second grade was taking piano lessons. She brings her own special sound to the Great American Songbook, giving unique performances of the wonderful repertoire of George Gerswhin, Rodgers and Hart, Cole Porte, and Duke Ellington, to name but a few. The legendary record producer Jerry Wexler says that Dinah has her own stamp and is very inspiring. In 2003 she moved to the San Francisco area to team up with Mike Lipskin, and has recorded two CDs with him. http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/lipskinlee

( 8:44) 10. Yours Is My Heart Alone

Tim Warfield, a big-toned, swaggering titan of the tenor saxophone, has decided to make his contribution to the jazz organ group tradition with ONE FOR SHIRLEY. The lady of the title is Shirley Scott, the late queen of jazz organ, with whom Warfield often played in the 1990s, and this set pays tribute to her style of bop-laced soul-jazz. Warfield’s tenor (and soprano) is joined by Terrell Stafford’s trumpet and Pat Bianchi’s organ in a simmering, groove-heavy update of a Scott original as well as swing era and ‘60s pop classics plus some nifty Warfield originals to put the icing on the cake. ~ Mark Keresman  http://www.allmusic.com/album/one-for-shirley-mw0000785116

Personnel: Tim Warfield (soprano saxophone, tenor saxophone); Terell Stafford (trumpet, flugelhorn); Byron Landham (drums); Daniel Sadownick (congas, percussion).

Walt Weiskopf - Open Road

Walt Weiskopf has a thing or two to say on the saxophone. When he does, he speaks with clarity, concision and swing. Weiskopf comes to work with a level of preparation few can challenge. A veteran of bands led by Buddy Rich and Toshiko Akiyoshi, he’s been a leader for twenty years and also a touring member of Steely Dan for over a decade. Through his innovative teaching and series of books, Walt has opened the secrets of intervallic improvisation pioneered by John Coltrane for players around the world, introducing new colors to the palette of jazz. Open Road is Weiskopf’s second Posi-Tone album and fourteenth as a leader over two decades. It’s a follow-up to 2013’s superb Overdrive, which featured him with a driving quintet. This new album takes a leaner approach, reuniting Weiskopf with pianist Peter Zak and bringing bassist Mike Kam and Steve Fidyk into the fold. 

The disk features Weiskopf’s hard-swinging originals and the standard “Angel Eyes.” Throughout, Walt brings an open heart and tone to his playing. Like Coltrane, his complexities never sound academic or stand in the way of his melodies, but rather enhance them. Open Road will be available from Posi-Tone June 26. Walt’s on tour with Steely Dan in July and August, but you can catch him with the Open Road quartet at Smalls in New York on October 2nd and 3rd. In the meantime, savor this recording! ~ Tim Wilkins, WBGO digital content manager  http://www.wbgo.org/radar/walt-weiskopf-open-road
