Ray Brown – Something In Common (1977)

by

0

From the album Something for Lester  by Ray Brown, recorded at Contemporary’s Studio, Los Angeles, California in 1977.

This excellent trio session forms a sort of transition between bassist Ray Brown´s work with the Oscar Trio and his own small-group sessions of the ’80s and ’90s. With pianist Cedar Walton and drummer Elvin Jones, Brown explores seven strong melodies (four standards, two by Walton, and the bassist’s “Slippery”) in typically swinging and bluish fashion.

Jan Garbarek – Carta de Amor (1981)

by

Carta de Amor is the first track on the album Magico: Carta de Amor by Jan Garbarek, recorded live in 1981 and released November 6, 2012.

Magico: Carta de Amor is a double-disc recorded live in 1981 in Munich which has been sitting in ECM’s vaults until now. The recording features a seasoned band in full command of a shared musical language developed after an extended period touring together. It contrasts sharply with the work they issued as individual players during this era: Garbarek´s Eventyr  in 1980 and Paths and Prints in 1981, Gismonti´s  Frevo (1980), and Sanfona and En Familia (1981), and Haden´s collaborations with Old and New Dreams, Ornette Coleman and Pat Metheny. The material here features five iconic Gismonti compositions — yet only “Palhaço” appears on this trio’s studio albums.

Magico: Carta de Amor is a musical treasure trove that features three players from three continents working in near-symbiotic dialogue, offering music that showcases compositional and improvisational mastery, yet transcends the limitations of genre classification. [source]
