Swedish bassist Daniel Franck and Danish drummer Jakob Hoyer on vinyl on Storyville Records.  This recording presents 13 original compositions, two by Dahl, one by Franck and ten by all three musicians.  Interpretations presents two distinct recording sessions that offer contrasting textures. The first session is characterized by a warm, melodically precise ambiance, while the second session embraces a rawer, more aggressive edge. This duality in expression ensures that the music remains compelling and evocative, with every nuance and detail thoughtfully crafted. The interplay between Hoyer's delicate drumming, Franck's resonant bass, and Dahl's emotive piano creates a rich tapestry of sound, revealing layers of meaning and intensity.  Interpretations showcases Dahl's matured approach to the piano trio format. Over the years, Dahl's style has evolved from his early bop influences to a more nuanced and sophisticated voice, drawing comparisons to jazz luminaries such as Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett. Dahl's unique interplay of melody and rhythm now incorporates influences from European classical music, with inspirations ranging from Bach to Rachmaninoff, all while remaining deeply rooted in the jazz tradition.  Dahl describes the album with his signature poetic and introspective approach, stating:  \"We interpret the wind's sigh and the blood that bubbles inside us.\"  He likens the creative process to a spiritual excavation, seeking the profound roots of musical expression. The trio's approach is akin to the artistic philosophy of Pablo Picasso-where creativity emerges not from striving, but from a receptive and intuitive interplay. Dahl likens their work to \"small paintings where the picture dictates the interpretations, and where the musician merely plays the role of paint and paintbrush.\"  Interpretations challenges listeners to engage with music in new and profound ways. It is in the delicate balance between action and pause, expectation and surprise, that this music truly thrives.","brand":"Storyville Records","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl","offer_id":49309942350104,"sku":"717101436392","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/4384550-3290541.jpg?v=1777492518"},{"product_id":"soderqvist-the-rocket-vinyl-edition","title":"Soderqvist: The Rocket (Vinyl Edition)","description":"The long-awaited vinyl print of Swedish jazz bassist Svante Soderqvist's celebrated solo album The Rocket.

For his own selection of highlights from Ennio Morricone's music, Enea Leone has arranged the themes from the Leone\/Eastwood 'dollar' trilogy (inevitably finishing with The Good, The Bad and the Ugly) alongside no less definitive westerns as Once Upon a Time in the West and Once Upon a Time in America. He has also ventured into the film composer's later career, with the unforgettable theme from The Mission, starring Jeremy Irons, and a four-movement suite from La leggenda del pianista sull'oceano, a 1998 romance directed by Giuseppe Tornatore, in which a baby boy discovered on an ocean liner in 1900 grows into a musical prodigy, never setting foot on land. With it's subtle pastiche of Mozart and long-limbed Romantic melodies, this score lends itself to Leone's sensitive transcription for guitar.  Enea Leone has enjoyed a 20-year career as a performer and teacher and made several well-received recordings for Brilliant Classics such as the complete studies by Fernando Sor (94791), which attracted a glowing review from Classics Today: 'These pieces are both technically beneficial and musically rewarding, and Milan-born guitarist Enea Leone's suave execution, keen ear for tone colour, and steady yet flexible rhythmic sense befit the music.' Another album of studies by Castelnuovo-Tedesco drew this praise from Fanfare magazine: 'Adding to a strong recommendation for the music itself is the beautiful playing on a lovely, mellow-sounding guitar by master guitarist Enea Leone.'   This LP transfer of the original 2020 album is accompanied by full sleeve notes.    - The LP version of one of the beautiful recordings in the Brilliant Classics catalogue, Morricone's greatest film-scores arranged for solo guitar.  - Ennio Morricone (1928-2020) is without doubt the most successful, popular and influential composer of film music of the 20th century. He wrote over 400 film scores which received numerous International Awards, including Grammy Awards.  - This new recording presents arrangements for guitar of his most iconic melodies from the films Once Upon A Time in The West, A Fistful of Dollars, The Mission, Inglorious Basterds and many more.  - Played by Enea Leone, a pupil of the great Alirio Diaz, who already recorded for Brilliant Classics works by Castelnuovo-(Appunti, BC 95219), Sor (Complete Studies for Guitar, BC94791) and, with bandoneonist Roberto Bongianino, Music from Argentina (BC95527) (with bandoneonist Roberto Bongianino).","brand":"Brilliant Classics","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl","offer_id":49415098433816,"sku":"5028421900216","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/4392343-3307339.jpg?v=1733235133"},{"product_id":"krahl-the-magic-of-consistency","title":"Krahl: The Magic of Consistency","description":"The magic of art needs a frame, a somewhat solid container to hold the freedom that can only be found once we integrate some form of structure.

Recorded during a memorable performance at Copenhagen's Jazzhus Montmartre on July 3rd, 1988, the album captures Petrucciani in the company of two jazz icons, Gary Peacock on bass and Roy Haynes on drums. While the trio only came together for a brief European tour in the summer of 1988, the chemistry they shared on stage was undeniable. The trio, propelled by a studio session the previous autumn, radiates synergy, as they explore six of Michel's original compositions with a sense of grace and spontaneity. On this recording, listeners will rediscover Petrucciani's unique lyrical universe, as well as his reverence for modern jazz icons, paying tribute to Bill Evans, Keith Jarrett, and Paul Bley with special arrangements of classics like Someday My Prince Will Come, Mr. K.J. and Turnaround. From the explosive energy of She Did It Again to the introspective beauty of Autumn Leaves, Petrucciani's virtuosic playing reveals a rare sense of urgency, joy, and an unrelenting passion for life. As Gary Peacock and Roy Haynes were at the height of their careers-Haynes playing with Chick Corea and Peacock with Keith Jarrett-they were drawn to Petrucciani, recognizing the greatness of his artistry. Together, they formed a trio, bound by a shared intuition and respect for one another, and this performance at Montmartre is a testament to that fleeting moment of jazz brilliance. This concert took place at the midpoint of Petrucciani's meteoric career, 12 years after his Paris debut and 11 years before his untimely passing. Despite the physical challenges posed by glass bone disease (osteogenesis imperfecta), Petrucciani's fierce determination, boundless love for music, and infectious laughter inspired all who knew him. Now, more than 35 years after that magical evening in Copenhagen, we invite listeners to close their eyes and step back in time.

I was greeted at the door by his daughter Mariolina, while he waited silently for me in another room, sitting at his desk. Camilleri was 93 years old, and he was now completely blind. When I looked into the room, the direction of his absent gaze was forward, towards the wall. I will never forget the gesture he made as soon as he heard me enter: an energetic, warm hand outstretched towards me, waiting for me to reach out and shake it, and then the first words, \"What can I do for you?\". And with these words and this hand, Camilleri made me sit next to him, ready to listen to me and as an equal, to a young cellist he had just met. This project juxtaposes recordings of Camilleri's voice with music improvised by the cello with live electronics. Granulation of the sound, multiplication, work on the harmonic spectra, distortions, each piece tries in an abstract way to enter the meanderings of the themes - both compelling and extremely topical - that Camilleri speaks of, in a small sonic journey full of affection and gratitude. For this reason, this album has no title on the cover: it would be like giving a title to a recollection, a thought or a memory. Memories cannot be given titles. One lives to retain them within oneself and, hoping at best, to be able to share them with one's fellows.","brand":"Stradivarius","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl","offer_id":49475651371288,"sku":"8011570373144","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/4395552-3514602.jpg?v=1777490144"},{"product_id":"butterfly-lovers-paganini-vinyl-edition","title":"Butterfly Lovers \u0026 Paganini (vinyl edition)","description":"Rising star violinist Chloe Chua presents a vinyl edition of her acclaimed recording   combining Chen Gang and He Zhanhao's Butterfly Lovers Violin Concerto with Niccolo   Paganini's First Violin Concerto, performed together with the Singapore Symphony   Orchestra, Rodolfo Barraez and Mario Venzago. The Butterfly Lovers Violin Concerto   was written in 1959, and inspired by a tale often called the Romeo \u0026amp; Juliet of ancient   China. Chen and He deftly combine a Western classical idiom with elements from   Chinese opera, such as grace notes and portamento effects, and the work has   become one of the most famous and acclaimed pieces of Chinese classical music.

For several years this Breton has travelled the world, from the tumultuous waters of the North Atlantic or Nazare in Portugal, to a Vendee Globe boat on which he embarked to search for sounds which he then sculpted into their final form. Two years ago, he decided to immerse himself in the heart of a symphony orchestra, a less dangerous but equally fascinating adventure. He captured every sound that the orchestra made, not only those created by Mahler and Beethoven, but also the sounds of the instruments themselves, from which he created a symphonic work which was then transcribed for 83 musicians. The Orchestre National de Lille under Alexandre Bloch accepted the challenge offered by this unprecedented exploration and now presents Molecule's first symphony, titled the Quantum Symphony; it is not only a bridge between the past and the future but also an introspective work by a unique artist.","brand":"Alpha","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl","offer_id":49704378171672,"sku":"3701624511237","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/4397810-3315043.jpg?v=1777490126"},{"product_id":"mahler-symphony-no-92","title":"Mahler: Symphony No.5","description":"This recording of Mahler's Fifth Symphony by the Tonhalle-Orchester Zurich under it's Music Director Paavo Jarvi, is the first in a complete cycle of Mahler symphonies.

At the age of 19, the guitarist\/composer Mike Oldfield could hardly have anticipated the enduring legacy of his debut album. Tubular Bells fused the instrumental rock style of Cream and Rick Wakeman with the experimental minimalism of Terry Riley. It also established the new label of Virgin Records as a home for innovative British artists in many genres. More than half a century on, the album has influenced countless musicians as one of the best-selling ever albums by a UK musician, selling 15m copies worldwide.   Side A of the original album had a life of it's own from the beginning, designated by Oldfield as 'Opus One'. Marcel Bergmann traces influences of South American \u0026amp; Latin, Balinese, Irish, Celtic, rock and minimalist sources in the work. A conversation with Jeroen van Veen in 2005 was the catalyst for him to put his long-time love of the album at the service of a transcription for four pianos. This work branched into a separate version for pairs of pianos and synthesizers, which seemed to present more practical prospects for performance.   As well as immersing himself within Oldfield's original album, Bergmann went back to a live-recorded version of the album and the orchestral version scored by one of the musicians on the original, David Bedford. Bergmann's arrangement thus retains all the multi-layered rhythmic and textural richness of the original Tubular Bells, while orienting the feel of the piece in the direction of the classical minimalism for which van Veen has become known as an authoritative exponent. This new LP transfer on high-grade vinyl is designed to take advantage of the special immediacy and richness available on high-end analogue equipment to bring Tubular Bells to life as never before.    - The LP version of a highly successful CD issue of the arrangement for 4 pianos of the iconic Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield.  - Tubular Bells, released in 1973, is the groundbreaking debut album by British multi-instrumentalist Mike Oldfield. Blending progressive rock, classical, and folk music, the album became famous for it's experimental structure, with it's two parts spanning nearly an hour in total. The music is entirely instrumental.  - What makes Tubular Bells unique is it's layered composition, with Oldfield playing all the instruments himself -over 20 in total- including guitars, keyboards, percussion, and, of course, tubular bells. The opening piano motif, featured prominently in the 1973 film The Exorcist, became iconic and contributed to the album's commercial success.  - The arrangement for 4 pianos recorded here is by Marcel Bergmann, who is joined by Elizabeth Bergmann, Jeroen van Veen and Sandra van Veen.","brand":"Brilliant Classics","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl","offer_id":49704707916056,"sku":"5028421900223","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/4397822-3320926.jpg?v=1777489520"},{"product_id":"shostakovich-jazz-suites","title":"Shostakovich: Jazz Suites","description":"An audiophile-grade LP transfer of a 2006 hit from the Brilliant Classics catalogue: stylish and exuberant accounts of some of Shostakovich's most popular orchestral music.  Shostakovich's fluency in light music, and the sharp profile of his personality in an unexpected context, can still come as a shock. Yet he always sounded like himself, no less than Prokofiev or Stravinsky did, whether writing for string quartet or jazz band. And even in these suites of sly foxtrots and waltzes, a double-edged quality emerges, at once smoochy and sinister, depending as much on the mood of the listener as the intrinsic nature of the music.   From 1934, the First Jazz Suite vividly brings a smoky Soviet jazz club to the mind's eye, with it's wailing solo trumpet and parody mandolin. At the same time, the distilled invention of the three brief movements sheds light on Shostakovich's early experience as a pianist accompanying silent films - capturing a scene or at atmosphere in sound almost at will. The Second Jazz Suite - also confusingly known as the First Suite for Variety Orchestra - is a later concoction by Gerard McBurney after the score of the original, composed in 1938, was lost during the war.  While the Festive Overture is well known as a riotous concert-opener, it's later companion is still a rarity, at least in concert. Shostakovich wrote the Overture on Russian and Kirghiz Folk Songs in 1963, in honour of the centenary of Kirghizia's voluntary incorporation into the Russian State. As an occasional work, solemn and ceremonial, it has been overlooked alongside the Twelfth Symphony from two years earlier, but this Ukrainian recording colours it with an authentically sharp edge and steel gleam.  Reviewing the Jazz Suites on their original release, Classics Today remarked that 'The National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine achieves an authentic sound - lithe rather than lush - for this music and plays with excellent ensemble. Conductor Theodore Kuchar deserves credit for making the suite consistently entertaining. The listener at least gets to hear these chips from the master's workbench in friendly performances.'","brand":"Brilliant Classics","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl","offer_id":49704707948824,"sku":"5028421900261","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/4397823-3320928.jpg?v=1738282530"},{"product_id":"dameron-taddos-all-folks","title":"Dameron: Tadd’s All, Folks","description":"This album is all about Tadd Dameron (1917 - 65), one of the most important American jazz composer\/musicians.

They were written perhaps in Weimar in about 1715 or possibly during Bach's period at Cothen. Bach brought together a set of five French Suites, of which the 5th is Biret's favourite, later augmented to six and forming part of the Clavierbuchlein for Anna Magdalena, his second wife.

He returns with an exceptional ensemble, joining forces with two of the finest saxophonists in the world: Maria Grand, a rising international star, and Alexandra Grimal, a major figure in improvised music. This album takes us on a quest for lyricism, depth and sincerity, with elegant melodies and powerful rhythms, in a project that is both spiritual and deeply moving.    \"When I started working on this album, the first thing that came to my mind was melody. I have been writing a lot over the last few years, mostly in my notebooks, for myself. On the road or at home, anything from long lines to short fragments. With time, (and hard work) these \"motifs\" started to take shape and turn into \"songs\". While playing them, exploring what they could become, I realized I was looking for a sound that wasn't \"just� the piano. These melodies required another voice.    Saxophonists Maria Grand and Alexandra Grimal have different approaches, yet both have a mysterious, powerful and lyrical quality that I was looking for. Those qualities, combined with Haggai Cohen Milo's beautiful tone and rhythmic versatility and the playing and precious ideas throughout the Process of my longtime musical brother, Ziv Ravitz, made these songs truly come to life.    In the studio we were fortunate to have the experience and perspective of producer Daniel Yvinec who encouraged us to push the music further, taking risks. I imagined each composition as a different scenario, a landscape offering a fertile ground from which improvisation could grow.    Improvisation: a quest for the sweet spot between freedom and constraint. The playfulness of it all. Providing the tools but not the final edifice, providing the canvas but not dictating what to paint on it. That's how Radio Paradise happened. We stumbled upon the title in the studio, while discussing how opposites complete each other, and how our role as artists is to try and reconcile that which seems in opposition.

This recording consists of 11 original compositions, 9 by Pieranunzi, 1  by Fonnesbaek and 1 by Gatto.  Thomas Fonnesbaek is considered one of the most important and  distinctive bassists on the European jazz scene today. His virtuosic  technique, \"Nordic sound\" and ability to craft cohesive solos place him  in the lineage of Danish bassists like Niels-Henning �rsted Pedersen,  Bo Stief and Jesper Lundgaard, while also showing kinship with greats  like Dutch bassist Hein van de Geyn and prominent Swedish bass  players. Nevertheless, Fonnesbaek's style is uniquely his own, honed  through a self-taught journey that captivates audiences with a rare  ability to evoke Duende - the inexplicable power of attraction that  moves listeners emotionally, a concept coined by Spanish poet  Federico Garcia Lorca.  For those who have had the privilege of experiencing Fonnesbaek live,  they will recognize this Duende in his playing. He often takes risks that  challenge both his fellow musicians and audiences, creating moments  of magic. In Rome captures these moments, highlighting Fonnesbaek's  collaboration with some of Europe's finest musicians.  At the core of the album is the partnership between Fonnesbaek and  Enrico Pieranunzi, one of Europe's most revered pianists. Pieranunzi,  known for his collaborations with the likes of Chet Baker, Marc  Johnson, Paul Motian, and the legendary film composer Ennio  Morricone, brings his extensive jazz and classical music background  to this recording. Having recorded numerous albums together,  Pieranunzi and Fonnesbaek share a musical chemistry that fuels this  project.  Joining the trio is Roberto Gatto, a drummer celebrated in European  jazz circles. His elegant, sensitive approach enhances the group's  interplay, while Rosario Giuliani on saxophone and Valentina Ranalli on  vocals further elevate the music.  In Rome is a testament to the creativity and mastery of European jazz.

Inspired equally by Bach, punk rock and ambient electronica, Richter's sonic world blends a formal classical training (he graduated from the Royal Academy of Music, and was a pupil of renowned composer Luciano Berio) with modern technology.  - This recording presents Richter's solo piano music up to date.  - Dutchman Jeroen van Veen is one of the leading pianists of today focusing on Minimalism and championing a new generation of composers, easily crossing borders between musical styles.","brand":"Brilliant Classics","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl","offer_id":49882216923416,"sku":"5028421900384","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/4412761-3388212.jpg?v=1777487659"},{"product_id":"basta-iii-vinyl","title":"Basta!

Known for his rich tone, playful phrasing and extraordinary charisma, Asmussen remains an inspiration to violinists across genres, from classical to jazz.    A deeply personal connection lies at the heart of this project, beginning with a childhood encounter with Asmussen which left an unforgettable impression on Niklas Walentin, and, years later, a shared love of music leading to a unique friendship between the two violinists. Before his passing in 2017 at the age of 100, Asmussen gifted Walentin a collection of his own virtuosic arrangements-eleven stunning takes on jazz standards, distilled from a lifetime of musical mastery.    With the guidance of violinist Bjarke Falgren, drummer Snorre Kirk, pianist Calle Brickman, and bassist Anders Fjeldsted, these arrangements were brought to life. Two years of concerts refined the group's approach, culminating in a recording session on the sunlit island of Bornholm. The result is a celebration of Asmussen's genius, a joyful homage to a master musician, capturing the timeless energy and charm that made Svend Asmussen a legend of music.","brand":"Orchid Classics","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl","offer_id":50001392697624,"sku":"5060189563203","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/4417657-3379491.jpg?v=1745350399"},{"product_id":"paris-recordings-1949-1953-1959","title":"Paris Recordings - 1949, 1953, 1959","description":"After listening for a while (to orchestral music on the radio) Idil would detect the main melody and then play it on the piano with one finger.

Many music fans view her as the queen of modern bossa nova and samba, and she's equally loved in South America, Japan, USA and Europe. Whether she's playing with Kenny Barron or Yo Yo Ma she easily sells out Carnegie Hall in New York. She also enjoys touring with her quartet at jazz festivals and jazz clubs around Europe.  Rosa Passos is part of the golden generation of Brazilian musicians that includes Joao Bosco, Joyce Moreno, Gilberto Gil, Gal Costa, Maria Bethania, Milton Nascimento, Ivan Lins and many other great artists. Rosa Passos is especially loved for her elegance and soft touch. Her musicality is an inspiration to singers all over the world.  Her music speaks to everyone, you don't need to know about jazz or music to understand and enjoy - there is something universal to her vocal and approach that instantly makes the listener go along on the journey Rosa sets out for. It's always beautiful and if you close your eyes you can feel the Brasilian soul and see the beaches for your inner eyes.  On July 7th, 2001 Rosa Passos played two sets at the famous Copenhagen Jazzhouse, one of the best jazz clubs in Europe for more than 25 years. The concerts took place as part of a bigger summer tour of Europe, with Rosa Passos playing all the important jazz festivals. In 2001 she was still unknown to the audience in Copenhagen, but Steen Rasmussen, a Danish pianist who was there, remembers:  \"Her playing was flawless and sophisticated - and it swung like crazy. It was already the best music I'd ever heard. Then she began to sing - and I was almost in a trance. That voice, that phrasing, that swing, that empathy, that way she accompanied herself - and that low volume. I could tell everyone present felt the same. Rosa Passos had changed all our lives forever\"  The experience speaks to the impact Rosa Passos has on people when they have the honor of experiencing her talent first-hand. She's intimate and powerful at the same time, and the tunes she plays, a mixture of her own compositions and Bossa Nova-classics, support her means of expression in the best way possible. This recording from Jazzhouse presents her and her band at her best. The sound is crisp, and the presence allows for the pure expression to shine through, and makes you wish that you had been there to experience this very special night in Copenhagen.   \"Imagine you are rocking a baby to sleep. For me, that's Bossa Nova\" - Rosa Passos","brand":"Storyville Records","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl","offer_id":50001400103192,"sku":"717101849093","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/4420835-3383064.jpg?v=1777487132"},{"product_id":"visions-8","title":"Visions","description":"Recorded in the summer of 1978 in Manhattan’s C.

He added class to every session that he was involved with and fortunately it was well documented during the latter part of his career. Solo Piano was not initially released until decades after it's 1974 recording. It is significant historically because this outing was the pianist's first recording as a leader in 13 years and, most importantly, because it is very good music.  Until the long delayed release of Solo Piano, it was believed that Tommy Flanagan's \"comeback\" began with 1975's The Tokyo Recital for the Pablo label and that his only full-length album of unaccompanied piano solos was 1977's Alone Too Long which was released by Denon in Japan. Solo Piano forced a slight readjustment of the jazz history books and, most importantly, offers listeners some very enjoyable music from the great pianist. It also includes a few surprises, particularly for those listeners who think of Flanagan as primarily a bop stylist.  When swing was succeeded by bop as jazz's modern mainstream, the function of the piano changed from being a timekeeper to take part of the rhythm section. While the pre-1945 styles of jazz piano had the pianists keeping time with his or her left hand, usually by striding back and forth between bass notes and chords, in bebop that role is usually handled by the string bassist. Bop pianists use their left hands to hit chords on a more unpredictable basis, accenting beats like a drummer \"dropping bombs, \" while their right plays hornlike lines.  That approach works perfectly in trio settings but can leave some pianists sounding incomplete when taking unaccompanied solos. Bud Powell, the leader in the field, was able to imply the beat and slightly adjust his style when playing solos. In the case of Tommy Flanagan, his ability to play swing was a major asset and in a solo setting he often added a modified stride, as can be heard on his version of Sleeping Bee.  On swing-oriented numbers such as Isn't It Romantic, Sleeping Bee and Yesterdays, Flanagan always kept the melody close by even while creating improvised variations. One never has a problem knowing where the pianist is for he builds his improvisations off of the melody rather than simply discarding the theme in favor of jamming over it's chord changes. He follows those classic songs with an infectious version of Stompin' at the Savoy that manages to sound both vintage and modern.  To conclude the enjoyable program, Flanagan performs a song apiece by three great composers of the bebop era (Dizzy Gillespie's Con Alma, Tadd Dameron's If You Could See Me Now, and Thelonious Monk's Ruby, My Dear) before ending the set with a joyful rendition of Lover.  By the time Tommy Flanagan left Ella Fitzgerald's backup band in 1978, his series of trio recordings had reminded the jazz world that he was a brilliant and very musical pianist. He worked steadily during the next 23 years, touring Europe and Japan while being based in New York and remaining one of the most consistently satisfying of all jazz pianists. Flanagan passed away on Nov. 16, 2001 at the age of 71 but he has never been forgotten. Tommy Flanagan is remembered with love, respect and admiration for his playing and his classy nature. Solo Piano adds to his impressive musical legacy.","brand":"Storyville Records","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl","offer_id":50001449615640,"sku":"717101849192","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/4420836-3383065.jpg?v=1777485029"},{"product_id":"life-like-violence","title":"Life Like Violence","description":"Composer, violinist, and NYC impresario David Handler composes acoustic and electronic music that has been described by the New York Times as \"eerie and superbly wrought... exploring polarities of light and dark, the sacred and the profane.\" This attraction to juxtaposition is also evident in Handler's role as co-founder of (Le) Poisson Rouge (LPR), the boundary-breaking downtown New York venue that has opened doors for his fellow performers and connected audiences with unheard music since 2008.    Life Like Violence explores the everyday tumult of the mind: fear, whim, rage, pain, fancy. As Handler puts it: \"this is the sound of my psyche.\" It's music that attacks itself, eating itself from the inside out. Ideas invade and gnaw at each other. They undermine, taunt, assault, exalt, and tease. Physical gestures disrupt long narratives whose melodies are obscured, revealed, decayed, destroyed, and mourned.
