Dave Bruno 100

With this disc, German label Neos takes on an enterprising project, Bruno Maderna: Complete Works for Orchestra, Vol. 1. Outside of Italy, Maderna is recognized as a significant figure within Italian avant-garde associated with Nono and Berio, but his music is not is well known as theirs, apart from his fanciful and hip Serenata per un satellite (1969). Within Italy, Maderna is remembered as one of her greatest conductors, although he is worshipped to such extent in that role that his compositions have been overlooked. Such a series, hopefully, would serve to redress the balance; Maderna's experience as conductor helped inform his compositions, and by having access to his orchestral pieces one might be able to determine to what extent his composing impacted his work as a conductor.

100 Greatest Breakfast Songs the name the fine gift and an excellent opportunity again to make a musical voyage, and for someone and to make discovery of new performers tells for themselves, the songs checked by time, collected in one place for judges of music.

RÉVÉLATION ! Nouveauté. Jeune trompettiste espagnol né en 1991, Bruno Calvo s’est installé en 2013 à Amsterdam pour y étudier. Parmi ceux qui lui ont prodigué leçons et conseils, on trouve Avishai Cohen ou Ambrose Akinmusire. Très actif comme sideman, il se présente ici son premier opus en tant que leader. En guise d’introduction minimaliste sur un tapis rythmique obsédant, Erytheia ouvre l’appétit. Offrant le même espace au drumming de Iago Fernandez, Dolores séduit par ses contours mélodiques et un phrasé incisif et bondissant, avant un premier solo où le leader affirme une aisance souriante : parfois proche d’un Freddie Hubbard par le style et la sonorité, avec ici ou là des pointes plus échevelées à la Don Cherry.

This disc is a bit unusual in a few ways. Vibraphonist Dave Pike sticks here exclusively to the marimba, while pianist Herbie Hancock is heard throughout on organ, an instrument he rarely played again. The band also includes two trumpeters (most notably Clark Terry who has a few short solos) and a rhythm section with guitarist Billy Butler. Most of the music consists of obscurities and is open to the influences of the boogaloo and pop rhythms of the era; highlights include Hancock's "Blind Man, Blind Man," "Sunny" and "Devilette." An interesting effort.
