Michel Pastre's positive traits are Full of thoughts and plans, who is creative but also crucial and includes terrific projects. That is precisely how these sharp tempered novices are. Aries people are generally very smart and reliable when someone manages to grab and keep their focus, even though it is quite tough to keep up with those excessively active achievers. Those born under this sign appear to be efficient and resourceful in any type of situation. & negative traits are This means that they frequently wind up in contrasting discussions that occasionally impact the connections they have with those around them. Additionally, they can easily be harmed and they appear to take any word that’s thrown at them really relevant. This will in turn make them susceptible to depression and a lot of anguish as they want to bottle things up rather than reveal how they feel. https://networthfolk.com/michel-pastre/

Leo Gandelman has been singled out for his successful instrumental pop performances on top of brass arrangements and Brazilian percussion, both within Brazil and abroad (he presently lives in the U.S.). Along with his own work as an instrumentalist, he has produced albums such as Gal Costa's Plural and Marina's Virgem. As a composer he also has written soundtracks for major TV soap operas and series and films. He has performed in such festivals as the Free Jazz Festival and the Hollywood Rock (both in Brazil), and the Montreux Festival (Switzerland). Gandelman also was the winner of the newspaper Jornal do Brasil (Rio de Janeiro) poll as the most popular instrumental artist for 15 years in a row. Born in Rio de Janeiro, Gandelman, initiated by his mother, the concert pianist Salomea Gandelman, and by his father, the conductor Henrique Gandelman, was influenced by European classical music. At 15, he performed as a flute soloist ahead of the Orquestra Sinfônica Brasileira.

He also studied viola da gamba, having being a member of the Pró Arte Antiqua group. At 16, he abandoned music, tired of the tyrannical routine of classical studies, and decided to become a photographer. He only returned to music three years later, already as a saxophonist. Attending Boston's Berklee College, Gandelman furthered studies on saxophone, composition, and arrangements. Returning to Brazil upon graduation, in 1979, he quickly became a busy session man (having participated in the recording of 600 albums during ten years), and formed his first group, Avenida Brasil, with Serginho Trombone, Bidinho, and Zé (trumpets). In 1984, he wrote the soundtrack to the film Rádio Pirata (Lael Rodrigues). His first solo album, Leo Gandelman (1987), had a smash hit with "A Ilha" (with William Magalhães). Solar (1990), the third one, sold 70,000 copies not bad for an instrumental title in Brazil. Western World (American reissue of his second album, Ocidente [1988]) was considered the best progressive music album in the U.S.~ Alvaro Neder https://www.allmusic.com/artist/leo-gandelman-mn0000248380/biography

Curtis Fuller belonged in the select circle with J.J. Johnson, Kai Winding, and a few others who make the trombone sound fluid and inviting rather than awkward. His ability to make wide-octave leaps and play whiplash phrases in a relaxed, casual manner was a testament to his skill. Fuller's solos and phrases were often ambitious and creative, and he worked in several fine bands and participated in numerous great sessions. Fuller studied music in high school, then began developing his skills in an Army band, where he played with Cannonball Adderley. He worked in Detroit with Kenny Burrell and Yusef Lateef, then moved to New York. Fuller made his recording debut as a leader on Transition in 1955, and recorded in the late '50s for Blue Note, Prestige, United Artists, and Savoy. He was a charter member of the Jazztet with Benny Golson and Art Farmer in 1959, then played in Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers from 1961 to 1965.

There were additional recording dates for Warwick, Smash/Trip, Epic, and Impulse! in the '60s. Fuller toured Europe with Dizzy Gillespie's big band in 1968, then did several sessions in New York. During the '70s, he experimented for a time playing hard bop arrangements in a band featuring electronic instruments, heading a group with guitarist Bill Washer and Stanley Clarke. He concluded that phase with the 1973 album Crankin'. Fuller toured with the Count Basie band from 1975 to 1977, and did dates for Mainstream, Timeless, and Bee Hive. He co-led the quintet Giant Bones with Winding in 1979 and 1980, and played with Art Blakey, Cedar Walton, and Benny Golson in the late '70s and early '80s. During the '80s, Fuller toured Europe regularly with the Timeless All-Stars, and performed and recorded with the revamped Jazztet in addition to leading a fine session for Savoy in 1993. Fuller continued playing dates and working in the decades that followed, recording albums for labels like Delmark, Capri, and Savant. He retired from playing in the early 2010s; his final studio album was 2012's Down Home. The legendary trombonist died on May 8, 2021, at the age of 88.~ Ron Wynn https://www.allmusic.com/artist/curtis-fuller-mn0000139566/biography

This is one of pianist John Lewis' most rewarding albums outside of his work with the Modern Jazz Quartet. Three numbers (including a remake of "Two Degrees East, Three Degrees West") showcase his piano in a quartet with guitarist Jim Hall, bassist George Duvivier, and drummer Connie Kay. A 15-and-a-half-minute rendition of "Body and Soul" has one of tenor saxophonist Paul Gonsalves' finest solos, while "Afternoon in Paris" features a diverse cast with trumpeter Herb Pomeroy, Gunther Schuller on French horn, tenor man Benny Golson, baritonist Jimmy Giuffre, and guitarist Jim Hall; altoist Eric Dolphy cuts everyone. This set was reissued in 1988 as part of Atlantic's Jazzlore series. ~ Scott Yanow

Expatriate pianist Horace Parlan and a couple of fine Scandinavians (bassist Jesper Lundgaard and drummer Aage Tanggaard) welcome Thad Jones (heard exclusively here on flugelhorn) and the great tenor Eddie Harris to this spirited set. Jones was making a successful, if short-lived comeback, and at two years before his death, this was one of his final high-quality small-group recordings. Harris is heard throughout in top form. The quintet performs two Parlan originals (including "Something for Silver"), a couple of obscurities, John Lewis' "Afternoon In Paris" and Bud Powell's "Oblivion." Parlan sounds inspired by the other musicians on this spirited hard bop set. ~ Scott Yanow https://www.allmusic.com/album/glad-i-found-you-mw0000196134

Ralph Peterson's GenNext Big Band - I Remember Bu

In 1983, Art Blakey invited fellow timekeeper Ralph Peterson to perform with Blakey's two-drummer big band at the Boston Globe Jazz Festival. It was a life-changing experience for Peterson, whose debut album with his Boston-based GenNext Big Band, I Remember Bu, honors Blakey's memory (the late drummer's Muslim name was Abdullah ibn Buhaina, and he was usually called "Bu"). Sharing a name like GenNext, the members of Peterson's ensemble are presumably young and more than likely energetic. The first part of that assumption is borne out by photos on the front and back of the album's outer jacket, the second by the ardor with which they come to grips with the session's nine galvanic numbers. To add a dash of experience, Peterson has called upon alto saxophonist and Blakey alum Donald Harrison to display his artistry on five selections, one of which, the fiery "New York," he also wrote. Harrison doesn't disappoint; his solos on "New York," Walter Davis Jr.'s "Uranus," Clare Fischer's "Pensativa," Wayne Shorter's "Free for All" and Todd Bashore's "For Paul" are bold and resourceful. Harrison sits out on the other four tunes: JoAnne Brackeen's undulating "Egyptian Dune Dance," Charles Fambrough's buoyant "Little Man," Bobby Watson's fast-moving, bop-centered "Ms. BC" and Peterson's ardent hymn to Blakey, "I Remember Bu." As should be the norm on any tribute to Blakey, there's a lot of vigorous drumming along the way but it may or may not involve Peterson, as no less than four drummers are listed in the credits and there is no way to ascertain what role any of them plays. And as this is a "next generation" band, a mandatory albeit gratuitous rapper (Ryan Easter) disrupts the flow on "Egyptian Dune Dance," spouting some nondescript gibberish before the band gets back to the business at hand. But that is an aberration; for the most part, the GenNext ensemble bends its collective shoulder to the wheel and breathes life into the music set before it. The band includes several admirable soloists of its own but none is listed in the credits. There is an audience (the album was recorded live at Scullers Jazz Club in Boston) but it remains silent until the end of each number. Even though he was best known as leader of the Jazz Messengers, Blakey loved big bands and surely would have appreciated this heartfelt tribute by a self-assured and talented group of young musicians. ~ Jack Bowers https://www.allaboutjazz.com/i-remember-bu-ralph-peterson-self-produced-review-by-jack-bowers.php
