The self-titled LP, out September 16, has been a long time (six years) in gestation with the help of collaborator Jake Blanton (The Killers, Beck) but was only recently completed and released. Sargent recently joined forces with director Kirk Woodward Nelson to make a powerful video for the single Miracles and Light. http://www.stereogum.com/1899515/sargent-miracles-light-video/video/"...loss and flux is elegantly woven into the record cinematic, often piano driven songs delivered with rare hairsbreadth intimacy. A slight hand with the sparsity." (VICE/Noisey) https://peoplepill.com/people/gretchen-lieberum

Doc Cheatham, Rosemary Galloway's Swing Sisters - You're a Sweatheart

(5:14) 9. Just An Old Manuscript
(3:27) 10. Baby It's Cold Outside
(4:13) 11. Chu Chu Wa Wa

Trumpeter Doc Cheatham (87 at the time) gets top billing and is well-featured on six of this CD's 11 selections but the release from the Canadian label Sackville is more significant for helping to introduce Rosemary Galloway's Swing Sisters. This fine quintet (originally all women but now just three out of five) features the excellent trumpeter Sarah McElcheran and the local legend Jane Fair on tenor and clarinet. The repertoire mostly consists of swing obscurities and Cheatham is delightful during his two vocals (sharing "Baby It's Cold Outside" with the bassist/leader). The performances without Cheatham sound quite a bit more modern, leaning more toward early-'60s hard bop. This well-rounded set has some fine individual moments.~ Scott Yanow https://www.allmusic.com/album/youre-a-sweetheart-mw0000536913

Personnel: Doc Cheatham (vocals, trumpet); Rosemary Galloway (vocals); Jane Fair (clarinet, tenor saxophone); Jim Galloway (soprano saxophone, baritone saxophone); Sarah McElcheran (trumpet); Norman Amadio (piano); Don Vickery (drums).

(5:14) 12. Billy's Beat
(6:44) 13. Gone with the Wind

Other than a pair of obscure albums from 1956, this was Billy Taylor's first solo piano recording. Released by his Taylor-Made label, the music on this CD is consistently colorful. On the opener "All the Things You Are," Taylor plays the first three choruses quite successfully with just his left hand. Other highlights of this straightahead set include the pianist's "A Bit of Bedlam" (one of seven originals among the 13 songs), "More than You Know," "For Undine" and "Billy's Beat." Well worth checking out. ~ Scott Yanow https://www.allmusic.com/album/solo-mw0000200661

Ron Carter - Anything Goes

Recorded in 1975 for Creed Taylor's Kudu imprint, Ron Carter's Anything Goes is a studied and even delightful exercise in the commercial aspect of funky jazz fusion. More interested in extrapolated grooves and pretentious motherchopper riffs, Anything Goes is a borderline disc, and no, that's not a bad thing. Using CTI's masterful, wide-ranging cast of studio players (as well as guests like Phil Woods), Carter cut a record that was as easy to dance to as it was to admire for the quality of its playing and David Matthews' arrangements. The finger-popping funk chart for the title cut as in the tune written by Cole Porter must have been scandalous to jazz pursuits, but so what. It was a finger-popping delight with a great piccolo bassline and solo from Carter, a groovy backing vocal trio, and killer flute work from Hubert Laws. Carter's own fascination with Brazilian samba began about this time in earnest a path he has followed into the 21st century. "De Samba," with its airy guitars courtesy of Eric Gale, Laws' lyrical flute, and Randy Brecker and Alan Rubin's trumpets, is a wonderful, funky jazz extrapolation on the form and is capped by Carter's own smoking bass solo. The read of Dave Grusin's "Baretta's Theme" is pure gritty R&B magic. David Sanborn's wailing alto saxophones play counterpoint to Gale's in-the-pocket chunky chords and fills, and lead the rest of the horn section into an orgy of swaggering funk. The four-horn front line on "Can't Give You Anything," with Woods, Michael and Randy Brecker, and Rubin's transcendent disco-jazz and Carter's fuzzed-out bass stomp, makes it all thump and hum. There's another samba variation on "Quarto Azul" that is a true jazz samba, with elegant playing from Randy Brecker and Gale stretching his own sense of rhythmic interplay on acoustic guitar. The set closes with "Big Fro," another Carter original, that should be on every single funk compilation that comes down the pike. His piccolo bass and the trio of backing vocalists which includes Patti Austin is a sweet, summery groovefest. The hooks just drip from this baby. In all, this is a pumping little record, indicative of a forgotten era, perhaps, but one that also reveals that this period in jazz was not only the black hole that the trad fascists have made it out to be, but was also a fertile, humid era where music like this was the rule rather than the exception.~ Thom Jurek https://www.allmusic.com/album/anything-goes-mw0000477601
