Sax-Star Bill Evans, who recorded with Miles Davis and Mick Jagger, features Max Mutzke, Till Brönner, Nils Landgren, Bela Fleck, Victor Wooten and Jerry Douglas on “Who I Am”. The 66-year-old saxophonist Bill Evans is undoubtedly one of the busiest and multifaceted musicians of his generation. He was a pivotal member of Miles Davis’ infamous comeback band in 1980 when Evans was in his early 20s, as well as with Herbie Hancock, Willie Nelson, Mick Jagger, the WDR Big Band, or the Mahavishnu Orchestra with John McLaughlin, to name a few. His bands “Push”, “Big Fun“, and most recently, “Soulgrass”, all defied categories and received critical acclaim worldwide (including 2 grammy nods along the way). This enormous range is presented on his new album "Who I Am" by the man from Illinois who now lives in Nashville. The guests on this all-star production already indicate the vast range of the production: German “Masked Singer” winner Max Mutzke sings on two tracks, Till Brönner can be heard on trumpet, dobro virtuoso Jerry Douglas is there as well as banjo jazz-legend Béla Fleck. John Medeski - without Martin and Wood - and Simon Oslender can be heard on the organ, Victor Wooten and Claus Fischer play the bass, Keith Carlock and Wolfgang Haffner play drums and Swedish funk-unit-master Nils Landgren can be heard on trombone.

Bill Evans & Robben Ford - Common Ground (2022) Music

Posted by popsakov at March 11, 2023

In 2019, following their joint tour of Japan, guitarist Robben Ford and saxophonist/keyboardist Bill Evans recruited jazz bassist James Genus and Steely Dan drummer Keith Carlock to cut The Sun Room in a Nashville studio. The group is back with Rolling Stones' bassist Darryl Jones in the bass chair. Recorded in the same studio, this set's focus relies heavily on a more rockist jazz-funk and blues. Common Ground was co-produced by the saxophonist and Clifford Carter, and its nine tracks clock in at just under an hour. The session gets unruly early on with "Ever Ready Sunday," a mean, funky, jazz-rocker. Kicked off with a power chord vamp by Ford, Jones rumbles behind Carlock's snare and hi-hat breaks. Evans solos on soprano and Ford follows with a meandering meld of jazzy arpeggios and blues licks.

Max Roach Plus Four - Quiet As It's Kept (1960) [Reissue 2009] (Re-up) Music

Posted by gribovar at Sept. 20, 2020

Max Roach's post-Clifford Brown ensembles became more experimental down the road, but this 1960 band, with the brothers Tommy and Stanley Turrentine, and Julian Priester, was short-lived, very satisfying, and one of the most memorable combos the drummer led. Continuing to concentrate on hard bop themes, the band is hardly quiet as the title would suggest. It perhaps could be said that this band was a sleeper in not being as recognized as the superior collective talent would indicate. Perhaps the obscure bassist Bob Boswell has something to do with it, or that the front line would find their niches in jazz well past their membership in this fine combo…

The Velvet Underground - Live At Max's Kansas City (1972) 2CD Expanded Edition 2004 Music

Posted by Designol at June 30, 2023

In the 1970s lower Manhattan's Max's Kansas City was the place to be, a perpetual meeting place for scene-makers and their satellites. In the summer of '70, The Velvet Underground was the house band, and their nightly gigs, propelled by Lou Reed's mesmerizing vocals, are the stuff of legend. Documented on a cassette player by one of the Velvet's entourage, this recording has since become the most famous "bootleg" ever, capturing one of Reed's last-some say final-performances with the band before going solo. It both immortalizes a precise moment in pop culture history, and also spotlights one of rock's most influential bands at the peak of their extraordinary powers.
