While Rossano emphasizes the song or the Two medleys demonstrate creative use melody, Fred approaches the music from a of the classical piano repertoire in a jazz more personal, emotional and impression- context. One combines quite seamlessly istic level. Edvard Grieg's "Arietta Op. 21," with its Pastel: Solo Piano, Rossano Sportiello echoes of "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star," (Arbors Records), is a lively recital of 13 with the Jimmy VanHeusen-Johnny Burke tracks, including three medleys, from the standard "Like Someone in Love." Another Italian-born, 40-something pianist who finds a close empathy between Debussy's has become a champion of the mainstream "Dr. Gradus ad Parnassum" and Billy jazz piano tradition. Avoiding barn burner Strayhorn's "Lush Life." He also essays tempos on this CD, Rossano grounds his Aram Khachaturian's "Waltz from playing in melody, unequivocally stating Masquerade," romping off on a 3/4 time the tune, often with relaxed swing, before improvisation after sumptuously deliver- venturing into improvising, usually over a ing the original melody. Rossano's own "Hymn" also borrows from the classical tradition, while the Italian song "Voglia 'E Turna" references more popular, deeply romantic Euro-pop roots. Other familiar melodies Rossano warmly presents here include "Dancing in the Dark," "When I Fall in Love" and a medley of Johnny Mandel's "A Time for Love/Close Enough for Love" enlivened with a stride improvisation. The album's title song is a rare gem from bassist Red Callender, presented with lush romantic flourishes. Open Book, Fred Hersch (Palmetto), was recorded with and without an audi- ence in Seoul South Korea's JCC Arts Center Concert Hall. The centerpiece of the album is an almost 20-minute stream- of-consciousness improvisation, "Through the Forest," made completely compelling by Fred's intelligent weaving of multiple musical strands and techniques into a nar- rative that holds the piece together into a cohesive whole. "I just went wherever it took me until it felt right to arrive at a musical and emo- tional destination," Fred writes in the notes. It is comparable to Keith Jarrett's famous solo piano concerts, but Fred seems more focused than even Keith was, as dramatic passages alternate with knuckled clusters in a constantly unfold- ing panorama.

Schmalenberger ABSTRACT Stylistic Evolution of Jazz Drummer Ed Blackwell: The Cultural Intersection of New Orleans and West Africa David J. Schmalenberger The two primary functions of a jazz drummer are to maintain a consistent pulse and to support the soloists within the musical group. Throughout the twentieth century, jazz drummers have found creative ways to fulfill or challenge these roles. In the case of Bebop, for example, pioneers Kenny Clarke and Max Roach forged a new drumming style in the 1940’s that was markedly more independent technically, as well as more lyrical in both time-keeping and soloing. The stylistic innovations of Clarke and Roach also helped foster a new attitude: the acceptance of drummers as thoughtful, sensitive musical artists. These developments paved the way for the next generation of jazz drummers, one that would further challenge conventional musical roles in the post-Hard Bop era. One of Max Roach’s most faithful disciples was the New Orleans-born drummer Edward Joseph “Boogie” Blackwell (1929-1992). Ed Blackwell’s playing style at the beginning of his career in the late 1940’s was predominantly influenced by Bebop and the drumming vocabulary of Max Roach.
