ENCOUNTER Virtuosic Pianist JIM RIDL! hall and Walker, who hadnt experienced the same sense of Jim Miller and SteveVarner supplement perfectly the shifted approach of the pianist and also http://www.dreamboxmedia.com/ridl.htm
Extractions: "Blues Liberations" (EAR-1049) This brand-new release consists of eight new compositions by pianist extraordinaire Jim Ridl, and an arrangement of the traditional Czech folk song "Green Meadow Waltz," with Darryl Hall on bass and drummer Mark Walker, plus Diane Monroe (violin), Kathy Ridl (viola and accordion) and Jeffrey Solow (cello): "Jim Ridl has become one of the bright lights of the current generation of Philadelphia jazz musicians...Ridls previous recordings have exhibited extraordinary technical ability, even when he appears as a sideman on other musicians projects, and he remains focused on a well defined aesthetic vision with each project he records. Such is the case once again on Door in a Field, Ridls tribute to the toil and humanity of the people who help feed the nation...Ridl, as one who knows, uses the means of music to describe the feelings that wide open spaces engender. As a result, Door in a Field reflects the calmer, more evenly paced tenor of life lived closer to nature than some of Ridls other works that involved more jagged themes at a faster tempo and sometimes unconventional meters, reflecting perhaps an East Coast state of mind.

John Scofield hall. mit Bill Evans, Stan Getz, steve Kuhn ua http://www.cosmopolis.ch/cosmo30/john_scofield.htm
Extractions: Um 1969 begann Scofield, sich mit Jazz zu befassen. Er spielte mit Gary Burton und Gerry Mulligan. Jazzrock steckte damals noch in den Kinderschuhen. Seine ersten grossen Auftritte kamen jedoch mit der Billy Cobham/George Duke-Band. 1974 spielte John Scofield mit Gerry Mulligan und Chet Baker in der Carnegie Hall (siehe die Live-CD rechts unten). 1982 wurde der Gitarrist ein Teil der Miles Davis Band mit ihrem improvisierten und funkigen Jazz. Gut drei Jahre und einige (auch eigene) Platten später tat Scofield sich mit dem ex-P-Funk Schlagzeuger Dennis Chambers zusammen. Sie verschrieben sich eindeutig den Funk-Rhythmen. Chamber und der Bassist Gary Grainger waren Meister des "James Brown/ Earth Wind and Fire/70's thing", wie Scofield sich ausdrückte. 1989 unterschrieb Scofield einen Plattenvertrieb bei Blue Note Records und machte sich daran, "more <swinging> avenues" zu erforschen. Zusammen mit einem Freund aus den Zeiten an der Berklee School, dem Saxophonisten Joe Lovano, bildete er eine Gruppe, mit der er drei seiner "jazzigsten" Alben aufnahm; daneben existiert aus jener Periode noch eine Bootleg-Aufnahme aus Europa. Zur Gruppe gehörte damals auch der Schlagzeuger Bill Stewart, der beim unten besprochen Konzert in Winterthur mit Scofield dabei war.

Extractions: Cemal Resit Rey Concert Hall, Istanbul, Turkey The snow continued to fall all night and into the day. I was beginning to think we'd be snowed in and wouldn't be able to leave Istanbul on Tuesday. It was nice to sleep in a little and not have to get up early to travel and the hotel we stayed at was very nice. Tom and I went to the concert hall early to set up our gear. Today I have a Sonor kit that was rented by the promoter and it's in decent condition but more of an "entry level" kit. I put some new heads on the bass drum (I carry an extra set of heads in my cymbal bag) and tuned up the white Remo Ambassador heads that were on the kit and it sounded pretty good. The room that we played in is a beautiful concert hall that has mainly classical concerts. (The local orchestra rehearsed there AFTER our concert!) The stage had a very dry sound and we really needed the monitors to hear each other. We had a very full house of over 500 fans in attendance. It's so different playing a "concert" as opposed to the week we just did at the club, Ronnie Scott's. We still were able to create an intimate feeling even though the room is about 10 times bigger than Ronnie Scott's.

Hall Of Fame: Pas.org, About Dawson was elected to the PAS hall of Fame Great Jazz trio with Carter and pianistHank Jones Vinnie Colaiuta, Peter Erskine, David Garibaldi, steve Jordan, Jim http://www.pas.org/About/HOF/williams.cfm
Extractions: By Rick Mattingly Relaxing in his Knoxville hotel room after his PASIC '83 clinic, Tony Williams reflected on what he hoped he was giving to other drummers. "I would like to be able to give off the same things that inspired me to really love the instrument and love music," he said. "That was one of the things that impressed me when I was a child and saw the people I thought were great. One thing I noticed was that they inspired others. If you can do that, that's a lot." In a life cut tragically short in February 1997 by a fatal heart attack, Tony Williams inspired countless drummers to strive for excellence and find their own voices, as he had done throughout his remarkable career. Born in Chicago in 1945, Williams grew up in Boston and began studying with Alan Dawson at age eleven. "Mr. Dawson went out of his way to encourage me, help me and see that I had opportunities to develop my meager skills," Williams said last year when Dawson was elected to the PAS Hall of Fame. "On Saturday nights he would drive one hundred miles out of his way to pick me up in Roxbury, drive to Cambridge to let me perform with his trio and gain valuable experience, and then return me safely home. I was twelve years old."
