As good as tenor saxophonist Joe Lovano's recent quartet albums featuring piano master Hank Jones were, they didn't prepare us for the sublimity of this two-man encounter. Duets Live has it all: brilliant and spirited individual playing, exceptional rapport, a terrific mix of songs and a luminous awareness of jazz in all its varied forms. What makes Lovano and Jones so compatible, even though they are separated by more than three decades, is the ease with which they each straddle and move back and forth across the line beween modern and pre-modern (in this, Lovano recalls Coleman Hawkins, one of the giants Jones backed). Much of the material is steeped in classic bop, but Jones points the way back to an earlier golden era with his lambent sparkle and Lovano comes at songs like "Charlie Chan" (his salute to Charlie Parker), Thelonious Monk's "Four in One," and Tadd Damerson's "Soultrane" from consistently fresh angles even as he applies his classic husky sound. Still a force at 88, Jones elegantly frees three of his late brother Thad's tunes from their big band trappings and in the solo spotlight pulls out stops on the standard, "Oh! Look at me Now!" It's a performance of gusty expression and poetic delicacy, slyness and warmth, and endless smiles. Is it too much to ask for a volume two? --Lloyd Sachs

5 out of 5 stars A MAGNIFICENT DUO: HANK & JOE IN A TIMELESS, BEAUTIFUL JAZZ PERFORMANCE.......2007-05-13

Five MAGNIFICENT Stars!! The legendary jazz keyboard master Hank Jones and legendary tenor saxophone titan, Joe Lovano, have conjured up one of the best jazz duet performances in years!! And they are caught live at the intimate Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola in the Frederick P. Rose Hall, which is the Jazz At Lincoln Center performance complex in NYC. These are timeless, beautiful, flawless performances by two jazz masters who have almost restlessly searched the jazz spectrum for fulfillment in many formats over the years. They definitely have found something very special here that just may require an encore and it happened in a great venue. Stepping away from Mr Lovano's quartet, these two incomparable musicians have all of the propulsion and rhythm that is needed to propel these excellent performances along nicely. Unencumbered by bass and drum, they bend and stretch the time at will, with Hank providing colorations as well as wicked time-keeping 'stride piano' with Joe soaring, making for some wonderful mellow jazz music. '80ish' Mr Jones plays with equal fire as '50ish' Mr Lovano making this an empathetic match made in jazz heaven.

The 'Pieces De Resistance', the best of the best, are wall to wall equally-captivating performances which proceed without letdown from song to song. But I especially like the fire by both players on "Lady Luck", written by Hank's brother, Thad, and "Kids Are Pretty People". I also love Joe's nod to older tenor players with his 'Ben Webster-ish' tenor sax effects on "Lullaby" and his nod to Yardbird Parker on "Charlie Chan", so reminiscent of Miles' "Half Nelson". Hank gets two solo bites of this CD apple with a wonderful, shimmering "Oh, What A Beautiful Morning" and "Oh Look At Me Now", which is fitting since "Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola" is known for great solo piano performances. Joe gets off what is probably his best solo, alone and later with Hank, on a swirling performance of Monks' "Four In One", blowing hot, liquid strings of notes. Pure, timeless, magnificent jazz music! Encore, gentlemen! My Highest Recommendation. Five ENJOYABLE Stars!!

    Amazon.com

    The United Nations Orchestra was created by jazz legend Dizzy Gillespie to "showcase the varied influences that he considers valuable to the development of jazz." The 15-member ensemble, comprised of famous Latin and black American musicians, is a true all-star orchestra, 10 of its members being bandleaders in their own right. On this 1990 recording, the orchestra was on its last date of a European tour, and it pulls out all the stops on this fiery big-band blowout. All the soloists--saxophonists Paquito D'Rivera and James Moody, trumpeters Arturo Sandoval and Claudio Rodit, trombonists Slide Hampton and Steve Turre-- attempt to keep up with Gillespie and the turbulent percussive undercurrent. This leads to a lot of passionate soloing, along with some requisite grandstanding, but even that seems to fit into the all-star concept of the band. This is extroverted, aggressively confident big-band music meant to dazzle and delight. The driving rhythm section is given center stage on Gillespie's "Tanga," whereby a lengthy section of solos by drummer Ignacio Berroa, master percussionist Airto Moreira, and ace conga man Giovanni Hidalgo brings the house down once again. --Wally Shoup

    5 out of 5 stars Super Orchestra...Great Performances.......2004-07-25

    One of my favorite CDs of all time. Dizzy with an all star orchestra in front of a very appreciative audience. How appreciative? The performance received a ten minute standing ovation at the end.

    "Tin Tin Deo" brings to mind Chano Pozo with Dizzy and his orchestra in the 40's (Still available on CD). An incredible performance for arrangement, solos, and the pure fire of the orchestra. The ominious percussion intro of Manenguito, Airto, and Ignacio Berroa are particularly effective. The alto solo by Paquito D'Rivera is hair-raisingly gorgeous. Danilo Perez doesn't solo but his piano is crucial, driving the solos and the orchestra with explosive chording.

    This is followed by a wonderful display of clarinet mastery by Paquito on the waltz "Seresta" and one of his best compositions: "Samba for Carmen (McRae)".

    Flora Purim, one of the best jazz vocalists, is in fine form on "Tanga", as is James Moody on "Kush". He plays a particularly exciting solo here and on "Night in Tunisia". Also of note are the contributions of Slide Hamption, Steve Turre (complete with conch shells), Arturo Sandoval and Claudio Roditi. I highly recommend this CD, but I must say a few solos drift off mike but are audible. I would turn up the volume, just to get the experience. Trust me, it's worth the effort.

    Also, the concert can occasionally be seen on the "BET on Jazz" cable channel on it's "Classic Concerts" program. Here, those off-miked solos are clearly audible, so it's worth a look to get the full concert experience (and, of course, to see Flora).

    1 out of 5 stars Anything but Royal.......2003-06-26

    This was a very disappointing CD on several counts: 1) The recording was very weak--equivalent to an AM broadcast: 2) The All-World band seemed to sleep-walk their way through an unispiring performance; and 3) Arturo Sandoval (the reason I purchased the CD in the first place) had a very minor role and his brilliance could not save this boring self-indugent effort on the part of the band. The only thing worse than purchasing this CD would be to have been in Royal festival Hall on that fateful night.

    5 out of 5 stars One of the greatest jazz CDs.......2003-01-29

    This is one of the best jazz CDs I own. It's amazing to listen to Diz play. Also, Arturo Sandoval's work on this album is amazing. He demonstrates his four octave range! Definitely worth buying.

    5 out of 5 stars Gillespie, Sandoval, D'Rivera... what more could you ask?.......2002-06-14

    This CD was recorded live at the Royal Festival Hall, London, in the late 80's. It also exists, I believe, as a DVD and a VHS Video. Having seen the concert at which it was recorded, I would certainly recommend the visuals as well as the music.

    The quality of the CD recording is excellent throughout, except for a couple of moments at the end of "A Night in Tunisia" where Sandoval is slightly "off mike". That said, engineering is crisp - this album has all of the benefits of a live recording, with none of the detriments. Enjoyably, the producer has chosen to keep Gillespie's bridges from song to song in place, rather than edit each track into one neatly digestible package.

    Gillespie's playing on this album is typical of the maestro in his later years, and is a pleasure to listen to. However, the real star of this album is Arturo Sandoval, who was at his stratospheric best when this album was recorded. The exchanges between Gillespie and Sandoval on "And then She Stopped" are worth the price of the Album alone, as is the wonderfully arranged "Tin Tin Deo". James Moody and Paquito D'Rivera provide a wonderful reed section, and D'Rivera in particular plays with real fire.

    It's hard to pick out a particular track which is best; they each have their own character. However, the rhythm section plays with extraordinary warmth and attention to detail throughout, and the real joy of the music shines throuhg. If you like later Gillespie, are a Sandoval fan, or just like great modern big band music, this album is a must.

      This album is a must for anyone that is into latin jazz. It has some of the greatest latin jazz artists of our time, showcasing them with the phenom himself, Dizzy Gillespie. Great variety, smoking rhythms, sultry ballads... Here, you have it all and you're hearing it from the best musicians the genre has to offer!
