Russell Malone and Friends Truly Delight!
Guitar music just engages the mind so beautifully. Superb jazz guitar really tickles the fancy of a veteran music enthusiast like me. Today, I listened to the extremely tasteful jazz guitar of Russell Malone. And it was a giant delight. One track that proved terrific in its sophisticated styling was Russell Malone working out with the marvelous vocalist, Dianne Reeves on that lovely tune, 'Embraceable You.' The lush, gentle chords and jazz tones put me in a gigantic stage of supreme bliss. The vocal work of Dianne Reaves is poignant and delicate and so thoughtful. Also, I listened to some fantastic work with Russell Malone playing guitar with the great Ron Carter Trio on a rousing rendition of the standard, 'Autumn Leaves.' The elegant Ron Carter played in a totally exquisite manner, making his bass work just entrance everyone. Additionally, the piano work of the skillful Jacky Terrason on piano was so enriching to all the listeners souls. I listen to people like Ron Carter and Russell Malone and Jacky Terrason and it brings me sublime delights....I get strongly into the great world of "awareness" that Deepak Chopra mentions quite often in his work. Superb jazz has made this a profound and so beautiful Thursday.

Nice Writing
THE GOOD terse writing of Ernest Hemingway is a real joy. He does not use too many adjectives. His 'Torrents' is a fine tome.

COOLING OFF WITH WEST COAST JAZZ is loads of fun. The temp is wildly hot now and so I listened to Art Pepper jazz, grand West Coast stuff....
Just an editorial note...you may want to correct the spelling of Dianne Reeves' name in the Labels section (not Reaves).
ReplyDeleteRussell's new cd "Triple Play" (MAXJAZZ)is being pre-released this coming week at Jazz At The Bistro in St. Louis, the CD Release Event.
It can be ordered directly from MAXJAZZ. The release date to order on Amazon is Nov. 2, 2010.
Thanks for this write up.
