For this edition I picked a selection of "heavenly" tunes and songs expressing the feeling of being "IN HEAVEN", creating some moments of simple and sheer beauty with music by Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Scott, Ben Webster, Ray Brown, Gary Smulyan, Bob Wilber and Kenny Davern as well as the Michael Wollny Trio.
One Day In Winter is the sort of recording that keeps one on the edge of their seat throughout. The trio brings a deep empathy with European Jazz-making on one hand; the sparseness and melodicism, while keeping the tradition of Jazz music at the fore and even making space for Irish traditional elements in the inaugural piece Beata Viscera. But this is no fusion record. The trio have a singular vision, and the many influences are naturally expressed in the whole. This is a piano trio that finds a way to swing gently but stridently through a plethora of feels. No contrivances here, this is real.
In this episode of The Hot Box we have 80 minutes of the best of Big Band music culled from the post-bebop era, from the best in Europe as well as the USA.
