Review:

This is the hundredth and thirty-fifth in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.

Support live music – even when it’s streamed!

Chico Pinheiro was born and raised in São Paulo, Brazil, began on the guitar when he was six, and at 14 was already working as a studio musician.

He has since led several record dates both in Brazil and the U.S. and worked with quite a few notable artists including Placido Domingo, Dave Grusin, Brad Mehldau, Dianne Reeves, Kurt Elling, Danilo Pérez, Nnenna Freelon, Herbie Hancock, Anthony Wilson, Ivan Lins, Luciana Souza, Mark Turner, Chris Potter, and John Patitucci.

​It is obvious, listening to this solo LiveStream from June 13, 2020, why the guitarist is in such demand.

Chico Pinheiro plays beautiful and sophisticated solo guitar renditions of such standards as “Nobody Else But Me,” “Darn That Dream,” and a cooking version of “Wave,” along with a few melodic originals, often discussing what he is going to play between songs.

Review:

This is the eightieth in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.

Support live music – even when it’s streamed!

One of the top trumpeters of the past 20 years, Jason Palmer has performed on over 40 albums as a sidemen, led at least 13 of his own, and has worked with the who’s who of jazz including Roy Haynes, Herbie Hancock, Wynton Marsalis, Lee Konitz, Phil Woods and too many others to name.

Palmer would be better known except that he is based in Boston where he teaches at Berklee.

Palmer’s recent project is a set of recordings with his quintet that center around the stolen artworks from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, a robbery that took place 30 years ago.

On this LiveStream from June 14, 2020, Palmer starts out by playing unaccompanied and muted, displaying an attractive mellow tone and creating melodies along the way; he is joined halfway through each song by an electric bassist who contributes rhythmic patterns and interplay.

In between each solo/duet number is music from Palmer’s quintet album, accompanying fascinating photos and films from the Gardner Museum, showing the missing paintings, their blank frames, and effectively telling the story of the heist without saying a word.

Review:

This is the one hundred seventy-eighth in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.

One of the top jazz pianists of the past 40 years, Michel Camilo has superb technique, always swings, and plays solos that are consistently full of surprises and joy.

Born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, he began seriously playing the piano when he was nine (after a period on the accordion), studied classical piano, was performing with the National Symphony Orchestra when he was 16, and turned to jazz after hearing an Art Tatum record.

Camilo moved to the United States in 1979 and in 1983 began a longtime association with Paquito D’Rivera, recording his first album as a leader in 1985 and having a minor hit with his original “Why Not?”

Since that time, Michel Camilo has toured the world many times, recorded a few dozen albums, and performed at a countless number of concerts, usually at the head of his trio.

Along the way he has played with the who’s who of jazz (including Dizzy Gillespie, Toots Thielemans, Stanley Turrentine, Mongo Santamaria, Jaco Pastorius, and Wynton Marsalis) or, more accurately, they have had the pleasure of playing with him.

On his LiveStream from May 4, 2020, Michel Camilo has fun tearing into “St. Thomas” which sets the stage for a series of often-stunning performance that the pianist makes look so easy, smiling the whole time.

He gives the impression that, like Art Tatum, he can play anything on the piano that he thinks of, including a romantic ballad and the bouncy Nat King Cole song “The Frim Fram Sauce”; this LiveStream gives one a strong sampling of his brilliance.
