  • Duke Ellington Kyle Etges Signature Recordings Cottontail
    Duke Ellington Kyle Etges Signature Recordings Cottontail. Cottontail stands as a fine example of Ellington’s “Blanton-Webster” years, where the ​ band was at its peak in performance and popularity. The “Blanton-Webster” moniker refers to bassist Jimmy Blanton and tenor saxophonist Ben Webster, who recorded Cottontail on May 4th, 1940 alongside Johnny Hodges, Barney Bigard, Chauncey Haughton, and Harry Carney on saxophone; Cootie Williams, Wallace Jones, and Ray Nance on trumpet; Rex Stewart on cornet; Juan Tizol, Joe Nanton, and Lawrence Brown on trombone; Fred Guy on guitar, Duke on piano, and Sonny Greer on drums. John Hasse, author of The Life and Genius of Duke ​ Ellington, states that Cottontail “opened a window on the future, predicting elements to come in ​ jazz.” Indeed, Jimmy Blanton’s driving quarter-note feel throughout the piece predicts a collective gravitation away from the traditional two feel amongst modern bassists. Webster’s solo on this record is so iconic that audiences would insist on note-for-note renditions of it in live performances. Even now, it stands as a testament to Webster’s mastery of expression, predicting techniques and patterns that John Coltrane would use decades later. Ellington also shows off his Harlem stride credentials in a quick solo before going into an orchestrated sax soli, one of the first of its kind. After a blaring shout chorus, the piece recalls the A section before Harry Carney caps everything off with the droning tonic. Diminuendo & Crescendo in Blue. This piece is remarkable for two reasons: Diminuendo & ​ ​ Crescendo in Blue exemplifies Duke’s classical influence, and his desire to write more ​ grandiose pieces with more extended forms.

But you would need to dig deeply into the cosmological haystack before encountering a project as extraordinary and unlikely as New Myth/Old Science, which brings together an incandescent cast of Chicago and New York improvisers to explore music inspired by a previously unknown recording of Sun Ra. In the hands of drummer Mike Reed and vibraphonist Jason Adasiewicz, who are both invaluable and protean creative forces on Chicago’s vibrant new music scene, Ra’s informal musings serve as a portal for their cohesive but multi-dimensional combo, newly christened Living By Lanterns. Commissioned by Experimental Sound Studio (ESS), the music is one of several projects created in response to material contained in ESS’s vast Sun Ra/El Saturn Audio Archive. Rather than a Sun Ra tribute, Reed and Adasiewicz have crafted a melodically rich, harmonically expansive body of themes orchestrated from fragments extracted from a rehearsal tape marked “NY 1961,” featuring Ra on electric piano, John Gilmore on tenor sax and flute, and Ronnie Boykins on bass.

    Press Release Julien Wilson - This is Always - Lionsharecords LSR20131 Julien Wilson - Tenor Sax / Clarinet (Melbourne) Barney McAll - Grand Piano (New York) Jonathan Zwartz - Acoustic Bass (Sydney) Allan Browne - Drums & Cymbals (Melbourne) On Australia Day 2013, Wilson went in to the studio with three of his all time favourite musicians. Known primarily as a contemporary player, and leader of ensembles with often unusual instrumentation, his intention was to record a jazz ballads album in the spirit of the Prestige off-the-cuff “meeting session” recordings of the 50’s and 60’s. The band set up close together in one room, with no rehearsals and no headphones, to achieve as intimate and honest a connection as possible. The rhythm section brought together the dream-team of New York based pianist Barney McAll, Sydney’s superbly deep and swinging Jonathan Zwartz on bass, and Melbourne's favourite drummer, Allan Browne in a first time meeting. Together, they create a sound like no other band in the country. Deep yet light, Old School and hip, informed yet inspired. Recorded in Melbourne and mixed in New York, This is Always sparkles with the essence of the classic jazz quartets and conjures up the smoke-filled ambience of a ’50’s Parisian Jazz Bar. The album is the inaugural release on Wilson’s new label, Lionsharecords and was officially launched in concert at the 2013 Wangaratta Jazz Festival. In 2014, the quartet toured Australia’s East Coast to promote the album, recording again live and in the studio. This is Always was a finalist for an AIR Award for Best Independent Jazz Album and was Birdland Records’ #1 top selling Australian Album.
