One of the founding fathers of ska, Ranglin's jazz credentials were permanently established when in 1964 London's iconic Ronnie Scott's Jazzclub hired him as their house guitarist. Jimmy Raney - Momentum The New York Times tagged Jimmy Raney as "one of the most gifted and influential postwar jazz guitarists in the world". After working with the likes of Stan Getz and Red Norvo in the 1950's, Raney found himself working in pit bands and backing singers in order to support his family. His inability to find a creative outlet in New York coupled with abusive drinking sent Raney back to his hometown Louisville, Kentucky in late 60's. This 1974 MPS album represents Raney's return to the forefront of jazz guitarists. Sebastiao Tapajos - Bienvenido Tapajos Touted as a musician who combines the folk-oriented play of Brazilian guitarist Baden Powell and the classical virtuosity of Spanish guitarist Andrés Segovia, Brazilian guitarist Sebastio Tapajos' jazz-inflected style has earned him international fame. He has played and recorded with the likes of Gerry Mulligan, Astor Piazzolla, Oscar Peterson, and Hermeto Pascoal; the Academia Brasileira de Letras designated Tapajos as the best Brazilian musician of 1992. For Bienvenido, Tapajos chose the perfect complement of Brazilian players, including two percussionists who create a living landscape of sound. write your comments about the article :: © 2016 Jazz News :: home page |
