GRABMUSIK KV 42 / GALLIMATHIAS MUSICUM KV 32

AN AUDIO-ONLY DVD. 1998 Grammy Award Nominee. Living legend Babatunde Olatunju unleashes the rhythm of passion on his first Chesky release. Featuring an ebullient ensemble of guitarists, singers and a myriad of percussionists, "Love Drum Talk" is a heart-pounding celebration of love. This disc is simply staggering. It's as if some elemental, primeval, mystical musical force were somehow magically captured on a piece of polycarbonate, that sound quaity is as staggering as the music.

For lovers of life and music everywhere, here comes a disc to define the chart sweeping Rio Lounge considered so vogue today. Hollywood Rio is the authentic connection between an ardent Ipanema sun and lush, opulent Beverly Hills palm trees. Ana Caram's silky voice takes you on a voyage through a world of Hollywood's most memorable music - it's Hollywood with a bossa groove.

BLUES & GRASS: THE 52ND STREET BLUES PROJECT / VAR

REAL LIFE

2018 release. While conceived as a series of tonal paintings, somehow David Chesky's cornucopia of oblique ruminations on Trio In The New Harmonic suggest to this scribe something more declamatory, and poetically austere, like some non-denominational evening service at a distant Northern latitude and longitude, bathed in a wintery glow, with the faint promise of spring colors peeking through the firmament-illuminating a largely black and white canvas with pastel intimations of some elusive wakening. Chesky's is a chamber music chrysalis seeking to be reborn as a post-modern jazz trio in the left wing traditions of those American pianists, who while they were surely informed by the harmonic cycles of Tin Pan Alley song forms, and a blues/ragtime/swing based tradition of the piano in it's virtuoso approximation of post-bop orchestral power, were not beholden to it; seeking instead to depict a more abstract canvas, a painterly sense of the piano's potential for said chamber music sensibility in which, while there is considerable heat applied to the collective improvisational pot, things are consciously never quite fired up to a full boil.
