Ryuichi Sakamoto was one of Japan’s innovators in electronic pop with the group Yellow Magic Orchestra, and he later established himself as a world-class composer, winning an Academy Award for his score for the film The Last Emperor. But Sakamoto’s evocative music can be just as effective on a smaller scale, and on the album Playing the Piano, he performs 12 pieces — some new, some new interpretations of older works — that have been arranged for solo acoustic piano. Several tracks from the Japanese albums 04 and 05 have been included in this collection. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi Performers: Ryuichi Sakamoto – Piano

To Ms hand lie invitations extended to him by countless composers invitations to visit, perhaps, the gay and languorous Spain of Isaac Albeniz and Manuel de Falla; to enter elegant Parisian salons with Chopin or to join him in the patriotic fervour of a polonaise; to go with Liszt to Hungary, Italy or Switzerland; or a somewhat more esoteric experience to journey with Beethoven among those dark realms of the mind and spirit to which his later sonatas give access. The immense repertoire of piano music offers every pianist far more than he can hope to accept during the course of a lifetime. In the following pages we shall consider how best we may avail ourselves of these fascinating possibilities and, trans lating the hieroglyphs of notation into sound by means of musicianship, creative imagination and technique, realise most completely for ourselves and for our listeners the delights of music. My warmest thanks are due to my Mends Nina Pearson, B. Mus., Lecturer in Music hi the University of Birmingham, and Peter Richards for their invaluable help and advice in the preparation of this book. EJL WHAT IS MEANT BY’ TECHNIQUE’? WHEN GRAPPLING OVER a period of years with the complex problems of piano playing it is only too easy to lose sight of our aims and the means by which they may be achieved a state of affairs partly due, no doubt, to the fact that in learning to play a musical instrument intellectual, emotional and physical factors are involved to an unusual degree. Although it is ultimately impossible to separate them into water-tight compartments, it may be helpful at certain stages of our work to consider independently these three types of activity. It is the intellectual side the’ thinking’ as opposed to the’ feeling’ and’ doing’ that is so often neglected. Piano students must be persuaded of the value of indeed, the necessity for clear thinking in connection with their practising and playing. But, be it noted, clear thinking This, rightly directed, will lead to precise, controlled physical action, and, guided by a positive and firmly held musical aim, to certainty in performance. Let us try to look at piano playing afresh and reduce it to its simplest terms. What, from a physical point of view, must we do in order to play the piano? Two things: we must move th

 'Round About Midnight [Legacy Edition]


‘Round About Midnight [Legacy Edition]


$23.99


Miles Davis’ entry into the Sony Legacy Edition series features his Columbia Records debut and the first offering from his quintet with John Coltrane, Red Garland, Paul Chambers, and Philly Joe Jones. The label already issued the album in a definitive presentation with four additional tracks taken from the sessions onboard. Musically, the sound on ‘Round About Midnight is as unusual and beautiful as it was when it was issued in 1956. Davis, having already spearheaded two changes in jazz — with cool jazz and hard bop — was beginning to move in another direction here that wouldn’t be defined for another two years. The title track showcasing his muted trumpet premiered at the Newport Jazz Festival the previous summer (in a sextet with Thelonious Monk on piano) to a thunderous reception, and the studio offering is stunning as well. Charlie Parker’s “Au Leu-Cha” is edgy, with deep blues leaping from every chord. Coltrane’s solo is notable for its stark contrast to Davis’ own: Coltrane chooses an angular tack where he finds the heart of the mode and plays in harmonic counterpoint to the changes but never sounds outside. Cole Porter’s “All of You” has Davis quoting from Louis Armstrong’s “Basin Street Blues” in his solo. On “Bye-Bye Blackbird” we get to hear the band gel as a unit, beginning with Davis playing through the head, muted and sweet, slightly flatted out until he reaches the chorus and begins his solo on a high note. Garland slips shapes into those interval cracks and shifts them as the rhythm section keeps “soft time.” Of the bonus material, the gem is Jackie McLean’s “Little Melonae” — Davis and company recorded before the composer could. The band comes out blazing on this set, but it’s Coltrane who’s the surprise in his quoting various Dizzy Gillespie solos. For those who had already purchased the album, it may be disconcerting to need to buy it again in order to procure the 33 minutes of live material on disc two. Track one is that legendar…

 'Round Midnight


‘Round Midnight


$11.99


Criminally unsung pianist and singer Andy Bey had the most visible career after he and his sisters Salome and Geraldine Bey broke up their performing trio after an 11-year run in 1967, but this family singing ensemble was far more than just the act that launched Andy, and he wasn’t really the focus of the group. All three siblings were highlighted equally in the trio, and their harmonies together were the ethereal kind that can only happen in a family where all involved have grown up hearing each other’s voices and phrasing every single day. The Bey trio recorded very little together, unfortunately, just a single album for RCA in 1961 and two albums for Prestige, Now! Hear!, released in 1964, and this one, ‘Round Midnight, from 1965. Part gospel, part muted R&B, part stylized blues, the Bey trio was also very much a jazz outfit, due in no small part to Andy’s underappreciated piano playing and the presence of bop veterans like Milt Hinton on bass, Osie Johnson on drums, and Kenny Burrell (who appears on about half of the tracks here) on guitar. In essence, the Bey trio sounded like a thinned-out and more jazzy, gauzy version of the Staple Singers. Highlights from this reissue, which is quite short (only around 33 minutes) by modern CD standards, are a wonderfully balanced version of Ray Charles’ “Hallelujah, I Love Her So,” a stirring take on Billie Holiday’s “God Bless the Child,” the ever expanding and ascending “Feeling Good,” and a fine rendition of the title track, Thelonious Monk’s “‘Round Midnight,” which has never been the easiest song in the world to sing effectively, but the trio nails it here in what might have been deemed a definitive version if it had actually been heard by more than a handful of people. Prestige released Andy Bey & the Bey Sisters in 2000, which includes both the trio’s albums for the label on one disc, and that is definitely the way to go, although this short set does do a decent job showing off the range and talents of thi…
