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

Anthony Taddeo studied early on with drummer Jamey Haddad before moving to New York in 2009 where he attended the New School.

Since graduating in 2011, he has worked with such notables as Frank Wess, Ron McClure, Dan Tepfer, and Steve Kazee.

Performing a LiveStream as a solo drummer-percussionist is a real challenge but Anthony Taddeo, in his performance from May 27, 2020, constructs five improvisations (playing off of electronic sounds from his computer and, on the last piece, images) that hold one’s interest throughout.

Review:

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

Support live music – even when it’s streamed!

The team of violinist Tomoko Omura and pianist Glenn Zaleski first recorded together on Omura’s Roots a few years ago.

The violinist was born in Shizuoka, Japan, moved to the U.S. in 2004 to study at Berklee, and since moving to New York in 2010 has grown to become one of jazz’s top violinists, performing with such top artists as Fabian Almazan, Paquito D’Rivera and Aubrey Johnson.

Glenn Zaleski, who was raised in Massachusetts, attended the Brubeck Institute at the University of the Pacific and the New School; he has led four albums of his own.

The two make a mutually inspiring duo during this LiveStream from June 9, 2020, performing Bud Powell’s “Bouncin’ With Bud” and four originals: “Lullaby For The Unknown,” “Time Unfolds,” “Taking Flight” and “Journey In The Fullness Of Time.”

Their close interplay, tradeoffs, and the blend that they create make this LiveStream a colorful musical flight with plenty of variety in moods and tempos.
