Mark Guiliana Jazz Quartet

Jersey

Motema, 2017

Mark Guiliana: drums;

Fabian Almazan: piano;

Jason Rigby: saxophone;

Chris Morrissey: bass.

        When it comes to the boundary-stretching spirit that has become so widespread among many of today's leading jazz musicians, drummer Mark Guiliana deserves credit for being one of the most enthusiastic embodiments of this attitude. He has a longstanding passion for electronic music, as heard especially on the releases on his own Beat Music label (2014's My Life Starts Now and Beat Music: The Los Angeles Improvisations). But his genuine love of rock must also be added to the equation: he was a crucial component of the musical synergy that galvanized David Bowie's Blackstar project, and he's not been shy about putting Nirvana/Foo Fighters drummer Dave Grohl on an equal plane with Tony Williams when identifying his most formative influences. And then of course there's Guiliana's prowess as a jazz drummer, revealed through his work with Donny McCaslin, Avishai Cohen, and Gretchen Parlato, not to mention his own recordings with the Mark Guiliana Jazz Quartet: 2015's Family First, as well as his current release, Jersey. Utilizing a standard, acoustic instrumental lineup, this group is as close as Guiliana gets to "conventional" jazz music. But it still bears the traces of his many other influences, allowing for an enticing amalgam to emerge organically and compellingly.

Guiliana's quartet includes colleagues he's worked with heavily over the years, especially tenor saxophonist Jason Rigby and bassist Chris Morrissey, both of whom were part of the quartet on Family First. The new addition is pianist Fabian Almazan, who has in his own way sought to transcend musical boundaries, most recently through his classically-inflected jazz suite Alcanza, released earlier this year. Together, the four possess the malleability necessary for Guiliana's skilled, creative compositions. Take for example the charged opener, "Inter-are," where Guiliana's shape-shifting drum patterns and Morrissey's pulsing bass lines, not to mention Almazan's palm-muted piano, propel a track that is both complex and infectious, with the addition of some flamenco hand-clapping at the end a terrific finish to a piece permeated with a spry, dancing energy. The players' jazz chops are displayed to fine effect throughout the record, with Rigby's searing solo on "Big Rig Jones" and Almazan's tenacious workout on "The Mayor of Rotterdam" being particularly memorable. Superb musicianship aside, however, Guiliana clearly sees this recording as about much more than just an outlet for his band's technical abilities. Indeed, some of the most affecting tracks are the simplest: the ones in which he's able to draw from folk and pop musical forms. "Jersey," built around a repeated four-note bass figure and a lovely melody articulated with unadorned beauty by Rigby, is one of those songs that just grabs you and refuses to let go. The same goes for "BP," a song first recorded by pedal steel guitarist Rich Hinman, with a luminous lyrical core and yet enough room for the band to generate a strong groove behind it. And it's impossible not to be moved by the poignancy of "Where Are We Now?," a Bowie tune performed with heartfelt grace and warmth to close the record. An album that's sure to have some staying power, Jersey is an excellent addition to Guiliana's rapidly-growing discography, and it's a testament to the expansive reach of his artistic vision.

Chet Baker – Silent Nights

Silent Nights starts mellow and picks up the pace halfway through, after Baker’s breathy “Nobody Knows The Trouble I Have Seen.” It would have been nice to see the trumpeter make something more of these (mostly) typical Christmas tunes, but he plays it safe, holding most of these songs to under four minutes, leaving little room for improvisation. Even so, Silent Nights is a relaxed, reflective half hour of brassy holiday horn playing, certainly worth a yearly listen. (AllAboutJazz).

Analog Africa No.1 - THE GREEN ARROWS, 4-Track Recording Session Tracks 1 to 10; Part One (1974-75) Chipo Chiroorwa LP. Track 11 to 20; Part Two (1976-79) Waka Waka Selection. All tracks originally recorded and released in Zimbabwe. Undoubtedly the most important musical act to emerge from Zimbabwe in the 1970s, the Green Arrows transmuted the widespread social upheaval of their homeland into hopeful, rhythmic, political, experimental music. This extraordinarily progressive group took the country by storm, fusing the different rhythms of the region into one unique and ebullient sound. The Green Arrows were the first Zimbabwean band to record an LP (released in February 1976) - a milestone in Zimbabwean music history. Also their song 'Musango Mune Hangaiwa' still holds the record for the longest stay at number1 in the Zimbabwean charts (4 months).

At the start of the 1970s the Green Arrows were merely the best bar band in all of Zimbabwe. By decade's end, they had achieved a level of fame previously unheard of in the country. The band's mercurial bassist and lead singer, Zexie Manatsa, became the patriarch of a flourishing musical scene in Zimbabwe, then Rhodesia. When he got married in 1979, an estimated 60,000 guests showed up for the wedding, held in Rufaro Stadium in Harare, with Oliver Mtukudzi and Thomas Mapfumo amongst the performers.

The Green Arrows, discovered by South African producer West Nkosi, had become the tightest, funkiest band around. The music was branded ‘wha wha (= beer) music’ as it got people to consume vast amounts of beer. The Arrows’ unique sound managed to be intensely danceable and catchy, yet breezy and laid-back at the same time. Guitar riffs sparkle like stars throughout each of these three-minute-long compositions. The rhythm section is flawless and the mellow, stoned vocals perfectly convey the band's overarching message: ‘Forget your troubles for a little while and dance with your fellow human beings - something great might come of it’. This is music to get lost inside, hypnotic and gently percussive, utterly irresistible and addictive. The twenty tracks on this CD, collected here by Analog Africa’s Samy Ben Redjeb and all painstakingly re-mastered, vividly illustrate the Arrows' rise to greatness. Divided into two parts, the first of which is culled from the Chipo Chiroorwa LP (1974) and features material from 1974 and 1975, and the second of which, called Waka Waka Selection combines singles recorded between 1976 and 1979. The accompanying 24-page booklet (edited by renowned critic Banning Eyre) frames the music in the proper historical context, with a full detailed discography and numerous rare photographs. 'A treasure.' - BBC Music Online 'Contagiously danceable CD' - The Independent on Sunday 'Terrific low-fidelity recordings ... dance grooves that set the stage for the future of southern African pop. - Chicago Tribune 'Timeless stuff. - Downbeat **** 'All modern popular music in Zimbabwe owes a certain debt to the first Zimbabwean group to record an LP there, and so this first edition in Analog Africa’s series is particularly timely.' - AllAboutJazz 'Lost ‘70s Zimbabwean Afro-rock that’ll make you grin. Guitarist Stanley Manatsa’s wah-wah is just plain nasty.' - Spin **** 'A model compilation with excellent notes that put the music in context and even convey the personalities of the artists.' - Afropop Worldwide 'A treasure trove of melody, a crucial, lovingly assembled look back at one of the more fascinating and somewhat forgotten groups in African history.' - Global Rhythm créditsparu le 30 mars 2007 Bass, Lead Vocals - Zexie Manatsa Lead Guitar - Stanley Manatsa Rhythm Guitar - Fulton Chikwati Bass, Rhythm Guitar - Givas Bernard Drums - Raphael Mboweni Guest Vocals - Wilfred Nyomi Original recordings licensed from Gallo Record Company All songs published by Gallo Music Publishers All tracks produced by West Nkosi for Mavuthela Music Division Mastering by Peter Pearson
