Live from Studio A

Live from Studio A (2006) more music like this

by Various Artists

Live from Studio A is a collection, a sampler really, of tracks by those who have recorded in the famed Studio A in New York City and recorded for the Chesky label. Chesky's assemblage sounds great, it's beautifully sequenced and wonderfully diverse. It ranges from McCoy Tyner's band playing from New York Reunion, Phil Woods from the beautiful ...

Nice Work

Nice Work (2000) more music like this

by Danish Radio Jazz Orchestra & Jim McNeely

Jim McNeely conducts the Danish Radio Jazz Orchestra on these 1998 studio sessions. McNeely, an accomplished pianist and writer, whose work was still gaining wider recognition at the time these recordings were made, wrote all of the arrangements, except for "Moksha," a marvelous blend of colors with a somewhat plodding rhythm, contributed by tenor ...

In This Moment

In This Moment (2003) more music like this

by Jim McNeely

A good deal of Jim McNeely's recording projects since the mid-'90s involved various large ensembles, so this 2001 trio date provided some variety. The veteran pianist, accompanied by drummer Adam Nussbaum and bassist Lennart Ginman, chose a wide-ranging program, kicking off with a simmering "You and the Night and the Music" that adds a new face to ...

The Music of Thelonious Monk: Jazz Piano Essentials

The Music of Thelonious Monk: Jazz Piano Essentials (2000) more music like this

by Various Artists

Though Thelonious Monk was a great jazz composer, this collection suffers because it does not offer his classic performances. Nevertheless, interpretations of songs like "Blue Monk" by Hank Jones and "Bemsha Swing" by Hal Galper, and especially "Round Midnight" by Richie Beirach, show off Monk's writing skill and highlight his continuing impact on ...

Winds of Change

Winds of Change (1989) more music like this

by Jim McNeely

Jim McNeely's 1989 trio session with bassist Mike Richmond and drummer Kenny Washington is a proverbial "hidden gem" in his discography. The pianist's advanced yet accessible compositions include the dramatic opener, "Winds of Change," which starts in a Latin setting with shades of Igor Stravinsky's early ballets, along with the haunting "Brooder ...

The Power and the Glory: A Salute to Louis Armstrong

The Power and the Glory: A Salute to Louis Armstrong (2001) more music like this

by Jim McNeely and the Danish Radio Jazz Orchestra featuring Leroy Jones

This live CD is a tribute to Louis Armstrong by the Danish Radio Jazz Orchestra (conducted by Jim McNeely) with special guest Leroy Jones on trumpet and vocals. That doesn't mean that this is a mundane attempt at replicating Satchmo's recordings of these songs: McNeely's arrangements (as well as others' contributions) have a fresh sound yet remain ...

Flowers for Hodges

Flowers for Hodges (1991) more music like this

by Phil Woods with Jim McNeely

Throughout this CD, altoist Phil Woods often pays tribute to the ballad (rather than the stomping blues) side of the great fellow altoist Johnny Hodges. The set of duets with pianist Jim McNeely includes several songs identified with Hodges, along with a few originals by Woods (who also plays soprano, clarinet and bass clarinet) and McNeely. One ...

From the Heart

From the Heart (1984) more music like this

by Jim McNeely

The advanced post-bop pianist Jim McNeely performs five originals, including a blues called "Ernie Banks" and a tribute to Bob Brookmeyer, "Brooklyn Bob," plus "End of a Love Affair," in a trio with bassist Marc Johnson and drummer Adam Nussbaum. McNeely utilizes a synthesizer for color, and fortunately, the electric keyboard does not weigh down ...

Rain's Dance

Rain's Dance (1976) more music like this

by Jim McNeely Quintet

Pianist Jim McNeely, who includes stints with Ted Curson, Stan Getz, Thad Jones and Mel Lewis, and Phil Woods on his lengthy resume, has been gradually recognized by the jazz public as a terrific composer, but these 1976 sessions, which mark one of his earliest dates as a leader, show him to be a very advanced writer at an early stage of his ...

Plays the Music of Jim McNeely

Plays the Music of Jim McNeely (1996) more music like this

by Phil Woods & Jim McNeely

Jim McNeely is well-known for his stellar big-band writing, but this album affords the pleasure of hearing his compositions in a small-group setting. And not just any small group, but the Phil Woods Quintet, among the tightest and most road-hardened post-bop units in existence. McNeely occupied the band's piano chair through much of the '90s. ...

East Coast Blow Out (1989) more music like this

by Jim McNeely

East Coast Blow Out was recorded not on the East Coast but in Cologne, Germany, home of the marvelous WDR Big Band, one of the chief attractions of this record. Out in front of the big band is a heavy-hitting quartet comprised of pianist/composer/leader Jim McNeely, guitarist John Scofield, bassist Marc Johnson, and drummer Adam Nussbaum. McNeely ...

The Plot Thickens (1979) more music like this

The originals tend to be complex and ...

Dedication Suite (2006) more music like this

by Danish Radio Big Band & Jim McNeely

Jim McNeely took over the leadership of the Danish Radio Jazz Orchestra from Bob Brookmeyer in 1998 and remained until 2002; this CD is his final recording with the illustrious band. The leader wrote the six-part "Dedication Suite" for the group, pairing two soloists in each movement, though the compositions are a bit unconventional, often as if ...
