Taylor Eigsti
Eigsti gained renown as a pianist while still in his teens, which may explain how, at just 23, he's cut a remarkably adult record. "Let It Come To You" is modern piano jazz at its most lush and urbane--a must for anyone who has worn out her collection of Brad Mehldau.
Meetings of the minds
So often, breakthrough jazz has been the direct product of a new collaboration. The strange chemistry that can occur between a soloman and his rhythm section, or a singer and her engineer, simply can't be predicted. The tracks in this set are about what happens when artistic minds meet. Whether it's guitarist Wes Montgomery riffing with Jimmy Cobb and Paul Chambers, or Thelonious Monk tricking out Duke Ellington, the sparks fly.
Features
Candy Dulfer
On her latest LP, "Candy Store," the alto star continues to live up to the title of her 1990 debut, "Saxuality." Dulfer's tracks combine funky-fresh beats with a smooth jazzer's silky saxophone and combo cool. The results are at once breezy and hugely flirtatious.
Chick Corea & Gary Burton
Anniversary discs can come in many forms. In the case of the 35th birthday of Burton and Corea's classic "Crystal Silence" collab, the approach is a broader "reflection" on the music they've made then and since. It's a wise tack, allowing for sharp new expansions on the classic piano-vibes cross.
Miles Davis
If you've only heard the "Kind of Blue" classic "So What" in its original cool, you'll be stunned by this early-'60s veer into speedy hard bop. Playing with a fantastic five (Davis, Hancock, Williams, Carter, and Coleman) the Miles of this live session is locked in a fiery, pre-avant-garde groove.
Herbie Hancock
To call Hancock's stunning new collection of Joni Mitchell songs a "covers" set doesn't quite capture its spirit. The pianist has done what Joni might appreciate: he's responded to the tenor and theme of her songs, but not always the notes. The results are abstract, elegant, and ripe for extra listens.
