Even in sunny Northern California, it can be quite chilly as the year ends, so I have been thinking of warm places with warm music. One that came to mind instantly was the 2014 Atlanta Jazz Party. Here’s a swing set performed there on April 25, 2014, by Allan Vache, clarinet; Rossano Sportiello, piano; Bucky Pizzarelli, guitar; Paul Keller, string bass; John Cocuzzi, vibraphone; Danny Coots, drums. It’s Goodman-inspired in terms of repertoire but anything but imitative, and Allan encourages everyone to stretch out in the most rewarding ways on three ensemble numbers and one ballad feature for Signor Pizzarelli.
IT’S ALL RIGHT WITH ME:
A SMOOTH ONE:
DARN THAT DREAM (featuring Maestro Pizzarelli):
SEVEN COME ELEVEN:
The next AJP will take place April 17, 18, 19, 2015: click here for details.
May your happiness increase!
