HIROMI UEHARA SONICBLOOM - Concert 2008
(The Winning of DVD-Jazz 2008) (VERY RARE DVD)

Hiromi’s Sonicbloom Live in Concert – recorded in December 2007 at the Tokyo International Forum Hall and Winner of the 2008 Jazz Video Award in Swing Journal Magazine – features the same rhythm section of Grey and Valihora, but also includes the unique sound of guitarist David “Fuze” Fiuczynski. All four musicians played together as Hiromi’s Sonicbloom on the pianist’s two most recent studio recordings, Time Control (2007) and Beyond Standard (2008), prompting JazzTimes to call them “a quartet of fusionistas in Deep Purple mode.” Armed with a double necked guitar (one neck fretted and the other fretless), Fiuczynski – whose credits include work with John Medeski, John Zorn, and his own Screaming Headless Torsos quartet – brings to the party an edgy, pyrotechnic counterpoint to Hiromi’s daring and highly expressive piano work.
The quartet performance highlights much of the material from Time Control, including the intense yet playful “Deep in the Night,” the effects-heavy “Time and Space,” and the sometimes fiery and sometimes ambient “Time Control, Or Controlled by Time.” Also in the mix are the experimental “Note from the Past” – with unusual effects created by Hiromi reaching inside her Yamaha and plucking piano strings or Valihora dispensing with the stick and slapping the cans with his palms – and the rollicking, no-holds-barred encore, “Return of Kung-Fu World Champion.”
In 2008, shortly after the release of Beyond Standard, Hiromi and her crew of Grey, Valihora and Fiuczynski scored high praise from Keyboard magazine: “Hiromi’s penchant for deep grooves, abrupt changes in direction, engaging orchestration, and blending jazz idioms both old and new are clear…This band can blow, and they know how to have a good time.”
But this isn’t just a party for the players. Everyone’s welcome. Settle in with either or both of these live DVD recordings and witness one of the bright new lights of twenty-first-century piano jazz. RUNNING TIME : 106 minutes

MARCUS MILLER - TUTU Revisited Live 2011 (DVD+2CD-Audio) (RARE DVD)

This two-CD set is a better bet than last year's A Night in Monte Carlo: it celebrates the same creative funkiness of the mid-80s Miles Davis bands that bass guitar virtuoso and composer/arranger Miller had a big hand in, but here in more focused form, without symphony orchestras or singers. The canny Miller still goes for a soul-pop bravura and some technical posturings Miles would have avoided (hard to imagine the Prince of Darkness doing anything as uncool as swapping quotes from Sonny Rollins's St Thomas with his sidemen, or letting his bass guitarist acknowledge a sharp sax solo with a congratulatory sliding-note whoop) but there's a lot of very inventive jazz-making here, particularly from the gifted young partnership of trumpeter Christian Scott and saxophonist Alex Han. Powerful 80s Miles themes – notably Splatch, Portia, Tutu, Full Nelson and Human Nature – mingle with earlier jazz landmarks, like a tender bass clarinet account of In a Sentimental Mood, and a brisk So What that includes Miller playing the famous Miles 1959 solo as a bass guitar feature. It's as much a general jazz celebration for funk audiences as it is about Miles alone, but Christian Scott is the ideal bearer of the late trumpeter's legacy.

SIXUN - Live in Marciac 2009 (France JAZZ Fusion band) (RARE DVD)
