New Features



Based on The Grand, the venerable virtual repilication of real grand hailed far and wide, The Grand 2 is a step up the evolutionary ladder. For the new version of the virtual concert grand, Steinberg revamped the Playback Engine and optimized a score of the grand piano emulation’s decisive details to achieve an even more authentic sonic image and satisfyingly realistic feel. The Grand 2 now offers a second top-drawer concert grand, Surround support, and a host of functions for optimizing the processor load.

There's no need for anyone to blow his trumpet. Chet Baker does it with consummate grace and with a swing that does justice to the material he transforms from good to magnificent. White Blues is littered with cool cool tracks that tell their own tales. Here is a white player who truly understands the blues and makes a connection with the great players and singers of the music. His phrasing has the timing of Billy Holiday, the grace of early Miles and the drive of The Bird. White Blues is the business.

This Blue Mitchell date is a classic, particularly the opening "Fungii Mama," which is really catchy. The trumpeter's quintet of the period (which includes tenor saxophonist Junior Cook, the young pianist Chick Corea, bassist Gene Taylor, and drummer Al Foster) also performs two Jimmy Heath tunes and a song apiece by Joe Henderson ("Step Lightly") and Corea. The record is prime Blue Note hard bop, containing inventive tunes, meaningful solos, and an enthusiastic but tight feel. Highly recommended.

Chet Baker's 1959 (reissued in 1987) release, CHET, is a romantic yet melancholy collection of mostly ballads. Baker doesn't sing here, but his highly emotive and lyrical trumpet playing makes this album more than compelling. Most importantly, this is one of the few recording sessions where he was accompanied by the legendary pianist, Bill Evans. Evans and Baker's approaches to jazz were uniquely individual, yet they both imbued their musical vocabulary with a high degree of pathos; they also shared a great love for soft, delicate ballads. On "Alone Together" and "If You Could See Me Now," Evans plays a subtle yet penetrating piano introduction, and Baker enters with his distinctly rich and breathy tone. Truly a great musical pair, Baker and Evans lead an all-star band in what can only be characterized as relaxed but reflective jazz. A merging of East and West Coast cool jazz styles, CHET is an album that emphasizes instrumental restraint, yet deep musical tenderness.
