[BLUESNIK'S REVOX]

Thanks Alyn. Be interested to see what Alan Barnes makes of the Silver ballad, "Lonely Woman". I only know this through Horace's excellent trio version.

an interview of, not by, the blessed ms McPartland:

[Serial_Apologist]

One of the most interesting JRRs in a long time - thanks Alyn (and requesters!)

PS: presumably another Lonely Woman. There are a few around, but I never get to meet any...

A hauntingly beautiful exposition, IMV.

A hauntingly beautiful exposition, IMV.

Yes, very respectful to the source and with a nod to 50s Art Pepper.

Really like that tune and indeed all Silver's ballads

Alan Barnes used to be slaughtered on the old board when he was something of a target from Trevor Cooper. I never quite understood the hostility even though Barnes is very much a mainstream (in the old sense)kind of player. It was a good track.

Loved the Marion McPartland track most of all, especially as she seemed to put in the most "hip" performance of all the pianists selected tonight. I was staggered by the old-timeyness of the Jarrett record whilst the Bollani record only served to enforce my opinion of his as an accomplished technician who sometimes seems to play jazz. The new CD has had some very good reviews. I caught Bollani performing Gershwin this year with the Lyon S.O. under Leonard Slatkin yet his performance was more along the lines of a concert pianist being allowed to ad lib in certain passages. It was fantastic to hear Rhapsody in Blue performed live and Bollani seemed a good match for this early Classical / jazz fusion. That said, there is something not quite convincing as a jazz performer which makes his playing seem a bit superficial. I like what he does but he is over-praised, in my estimation, as a jazz musician. The jazz element is only one string to his bow . I believe he is also the presenter of Italy's equivalent of "Britain's got talent." There again, if multi-instrumentalist James Morrison can also present Australia's equivalent of "Top Gear", I suppose anything is possible.

Moaning like hell I had to drive Daughter 4 to a party - got in the car and switched on R3 to save/soothe me and in the shape of "I Guess I'll Have To Change My Plan" it did .....thanks Alyn and whoever requested same.
