HIROMI UEHARA - Spark 2016


HIROMI UEHARA - Spark 2016
RARE Official DVD & CD-Audio
.
LINE UP : HIROMI UEHARA - Piano & Synthesizer; ANTHONY JACKSON - Bass

.
Over the last five or so years, the freakishly good pianist Hiromi Uehara — or just Hiromi — has been fine-tuning her own jazz trio characteristic that sounds so familiar and so singular at once. Since she formed a small band of virtuosos with electric bassist Anthony Jackson and drummer Simon Phillips, Hiromi has crafted whiplash-inducing jazz that ignores the melodicism/musicianship continuum by place heavy emphasis on both. Her approach is neither fully committed to electric nor acoustic formats and, in a sense, she also dispenses with trying to fit neatly into either category. Spark, available April 1, 2016 from Telarc International, is Hiromi’s fourth venture down this road in the last five years, a formula that might get a little tiresome by now if she wasn’t so danged daring and exuberant in how she goes about it. Hiromi, as usual, seems intent on fending off listener boredom. The first four tracks of Spark alone bristle with enough energy and twists for an entire album. After a lithe piano-only prologue into “Spark,” the trio wastes little time to show what it’s made of. Supple, fluid bass lines underpin impossible rhythm sequences executed flawlessly by Phillips and Hiromi; the inseparable union between harmony and rhythm is a Hiromi hallmark heard on nearly every one in this bundle of all-original songs. Another nine-minute tour-de-force called “In A Trance” is even more energetic, led by a two fisted attack on all eighty-eight keys. Phillips’ drums is a non-stop rolling ball of thunder, culminating in a combustible solo (of which there are plenty) segueing into an Afro-Cuban figure and eventually circling back to original motif. No ground is left uncovered. Caribbean influences are also present on “Wonderland,” starting with Phillips’ toms at the intro which are tonally correct for the song. Hiromi works the groove hard with fleetness and fluidity. Jackson’s poetic upper register bass figures launch “Take Me Away,” acting as a proxy for a guitar. Hiromi mixes fire with grace, wit and gospel funk, contrasting with a gently flowing main melody. Some synthesizer intrudes on “What Will Be, Will Be” and its Mardi Gras shuffle, but the main attraction is how Hiromi’s piano closely integrates with her band mates to make rhythm and melody work hand in hand. “Indulgence” finally slows down the pace but still grooves with a head-nodding shuffle, and Hiromi remains in a playful mood. Only when we reach “Wake Up and Dream” near the end does Hiromi completely winds down, undertaking this classical influenced melody with wonderfully flowing arpeggiated chords. Hiromi has settled into a pattern with Anthony Jackson and Simon Phillips with another one-word album (following Voice, Move and Alive) but in her case ‘settling’ doesn’t equate to ‘mediocre’. The one word that comes to mind when taking in Spark is ‘stimulating.’

INCOGNITO 35th Anniversary Live in LONDON 2015
RARE DVD9 Official with Interactive Menu
.
It has been over three decades that Incognito brought jazz, funk and a unique sound to the world. The enduring success of Incognito is one of the great stories of UK music during the last 30 years. Incognito has, thanks to Mr. Incognito Jean-Paul Maunick (aka Bluey), developed from one of the first to the most important acid jazz projects with roots in the 1970s jazz/funk/fusion world. During their 35 year career, Incognito has had hit singles all along the way Always There and Don t You Worry Bout A Thing being two of the biggest. The band performed at all major festivals from Montreux via Monterey to North Sea Jazz and back. Bluey has over the years also worked as a producer for other artists including George Benson, Philip Bailey, Maxi Priest and Brenda Russell amongst others. Incognito s 2008 album Tales From The Beach brought the band back to their glorious acid jazz sound and the album charted all over Europe doing particularly well in Italy where the digital version topped the album charts on the same week Coldplay released Viva La Vida . It also reached the #1 spot on the Billboard Jazz charts succeeding again in the USA and also Japan. Followed by their 14th studio album Transatlantic R.P.M. , the band again succeeded in creating a groovy, uplifting and refreshing masterpiece with a Top 15 chart entry in Italy. Featuring guest vocalists such as Italian superstar Mario Biondi and soul legend Chaka Khan, the record paved the way for Incognito s groovy masterpiece Surreal . With the band s 16th studio album Amplified Soul , Incognito marked their 35th anniversary in a glorious way. On July 12, 2014, Incognito threw a party that will surely be remembered for years to come. To celebrate the band s 35th anniversary in style, Incognito played a show at London s O2 Shepherd s Bush Empire and invited friends, family and fans to join them for a wild night out. The memorable gig brought the essentials of Incognito, the jazz, blues, funk, soul, latin and dance together for a perfect blend. With guest performances by genre and music companion Mario Biondi, American soul diva Carleen Anderson and friends and artists from former and current times like Mo Brandis and Imaani, Incognito dug up songs from now and then for an amazing performance, delivered in style, with passion, with soul, with heart.

.
The project was formed by Christopher van Deylen a little eternity ago with his companion Mirko von Schlieffen, who left the project already in its early days, that is, after the second album 'Zeitgeist' was released. If you've come to think now that meant the end for everything you were proven wrong for van Deylen had enough ideas himself to push the project into spheres never imagined before. With SCHILLER and its constantly improved live presentation he went on a musical victory march. ‘Sonne’ was SCHILLER’s latest album and also the concert highlight of last winter, when sound visionary Christopher van Deylen invited 15 times for a dawn end of 2012. The opulent final for this big SCHILLER arena show is now available as DVD live album, called ‘Sonne Live’. The concert movie, filmed at Berlin’s O2-World, presents the moving journey to the sun uncut with over 140 minutes playing time, a piece of art composed by sound and light in Dolby Surround. Live on stage, the fantastic sound experience of SCHILLER is supported by guest singers Kate Havnevik, Meredith Call and Anngun. With wonderful melodies, mostly instrumental, SCHILLER once more takes you to a journey to dreamland and proves, that he is a master of electronic sounds. As known from other SCHILLER releases, also this DVD set a very high technical standard. More than twenty camera perspectives capture the unique sound cosmos of van Deylen. There are no hectic cuts, instead it is calm movement over the stage and audience, very appropriate for the dreamy atmosphere. The cameras perfectly capture the immense light effects illuminating the stage. The concert movie is a journey into the light to explore new sound horizons with crystal clear 5.1 sound.

One of the great musical triumphs of 2013 was unquestionably Steve Hackett’s stellar performance at the Royal Albert Hall in October. This was a remarkable night, when the guitarist didn’t so much revisit his Genesis roots, as reimagine them, to use a well-known Hollywood term. While the night was dubbed Genesis Revisited, what was really impressive was the joyous manner in which he and his carefully chosen band immersed themselves in the flow and timbre of some of the most iconic songs of all time, thereby creating an experience that brought a lifetime’s achievement for Hackett into bold focus for the 21st Century. “When it comes to choosing the songs from the Genesis catalogue,” says Hackett. “I obviously have ideas of my own of what we should do. But I do listen to the fans, and also the other members of the band. It is difficult to get the right balance between playing the songs the way they were first performed, and adding in something extra. As far as I’m concerned, what matters is the authenticity of what you are doing, not whether you play all the same notes in the same order.

.
The number 1 sax player in smooth urban jazz in his first ever full length DVD, shot with 5 cameras at the Harborfront Centre Theatre in Toronto this year. Like any musician, saxophonist Kim Waters performing live and on record are two different people. His records are smooth-jazz gems, polished to perfection and chock full of hooks. Live, Waters’ style is to play a quick snippet of a top hit and go off into improv-land, showing his true jazz chops. Waters’ first DVD is a cross between the two situations: It’s one in a continuing series by Shanachie filmed live in the studio, with no audience, at Harbourfront Centre Theatre in Toronto. You’ll see Waters playing superbly in front of bandmates James Waters Jr. on bass, Gregory Grainger on drums and Allen Smith on keys. You’ll hear him extend out the jams on two of his biggest hits, “The Ride” and “Waterfall,” and understand why the ladies love him as he plays his gorgeous ballad “All I Wanna Do (Is Please You).” And you’ll also see him play the hell out of his funky little trademark curved sopranino saxophone.
