  • Denny Zeitlin Trio in NYC 2001 & 2002--Advance Notice.Rtf
    DENNY ZEITLIN TRIO In New York City 2001 and 2002 Advance Notice The Village Voice, Gary Giddins: “After an impressive Columbia debut in the ‘60s, playing a number of originals with psychiatric titles, Zeitlin opened shop as a psychiatrist. But he never stopped playing, and judging from recent records, he has developed his lyrical gift and supple rhythmic sense with much warmth and originality, exploring a diverse repertory of popular and jazz standards. For what is a rare appearance on this coast, he is accompanied by a dynamic rhythm team, Buster Williams and Al Foster.” Time Out New York: “Pianist Denny Zeitlin may not be the only practicing psychiatrist with bop chops, but he’s certainly the only one who can claim to have made historic contributions to the idiom. (He also scored the film Invasion of the Body Snatchers.) Zeitlin started his music career some 30 years ago as a disciple of Bill Evans, but has since turned into an astonishingly unique stylist. His all-star rhythm section this week includes Buster Williams and Matt Wilson.” New York Times, Ben Ratliff: “…Mr. Zeitlin has Glenn Gouldish ideas about the ritual of public performance and a reverence for standards, though he has been a thoughtful small-group composer since the early 1960’s, marrying free and written music...” New Yorker: “A pianist’s pianist, and a long-time psychiatrist to boot, Zeitlin is fondly remembered for his occasional engagements, stretching back to the sixties, with bassist Charlie Haden, and for writing “Quiet Now”, a gorgeous ballad that Bill Evans turned into a standard.

  • The International Review of Music
    The International Review of Music http://irom.wordpress.com/ April 28, 2009 Jazz CDs: Denny Zeitlin “Denny Zeitlin: The Columbia Studio Trio Sessions” (Mosaic Select) “Denny Zeitlin Trio In Concert” (Sunnyside) By Don Heckman The rub on writing about Denny Zeitlin has always been his unlikely dual career track - as a working jazz musician and a teaching and practicing psychiatrist. The immediate temptation, frequently succumbed to, is to search for the subtle (and not so subtle) linkages between psychotherapy and improvisation. But that gets old fast. And, taking a contrary view, it may well be that Zeitlin’s enormous potential as a jazz artist has, in fact, been dimmed somewhat by the difficulty of getting away from patients and classrooms long enough to maintain a regular schedule of live performances, recordings, and all the other minutiae that are vital to international jazz visibility. What’s most remarkable about Zeitlin, however, is how successful he has been at reaching into the deepest reaches of his creativity, despite the academic and clinical demands on his attention. And these two recent releases—which serendipitously reveal the seemingly boundary-less aspects of his art—underscore the remarkable aspects of what could have been, and what has been. The Mosaic releases includes three studio albums Zeitlin recorded for Columbia in the ’60s: “Cathexis” (March, 1964), “Carnival” (October, 1964) and “Zeitgeist” (1966 and 1967), as well as an hour of previously unissued material. “Denny Zeitlin Trio In Concert” takes a forty year leap, chronicling live performances with bassist Buster Williams and drummer Matt Wilson, recorded at the Jazz Bakery and the Outpost Performance Space in Albuquerque between 2001 and 2006.

    NEW RELEASE O N I N T U I T I O N R E C O R D S R E C E I V E D 4 G R A M M Y N O M I N A T I O N S OREGON’s latest project, Oregon In Moscow, is a double CD with the Moscow Tchaikovsky Symphony Orchestra, and the group’s recorded debut of their orchestral repertoire—a prodigious body of work that has been developing over the life of the band, but never documented. In the thirty-year history of OREGON, there has always existed a strong kinship to orchestral music. The use of the double reeds alone has given the quartet an identity and expansive sound associated with the symphonic orchestra. This association isn’t confined only to their use of many orchestral instruments, but applies also to the composition and presentation of the music, including the careful attention to details such as articulation, dynamics, phrasing and tone production derived from their respective classical studies. Chief composer Ralph Towner explains, “OREGON came together as a group in New York City in 1970, and from the outset it was clear that our unusual instrumentation and collective musical experience invited a different approach to composition and improvisation. The jazz tradition of improvisation usually consists of the soloists taking turns improvising on the song’s harmonic structure, recycling the chord progressions and returning to the original melody only on the last repeat of the cycle. While still using and honoring this tradition, we began composing longer, more sectional forms that allowed each soloist to improvise on different material within the context of a single piece.
