B. Goren. Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 (edited) Joanne Brackeen is one of my favorute pianist. She redefines every tune ahe plays. Bounderies do not exist for her: she can play hard bop as well as free jazz. This one is one of her best trio recordings. Edited March 6, 2009 by B. Goren.

John Tapscott Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 Agreed that Ms. Brackeen is a very powerful musician, overlooked in a way (at least by me), though I enjoy the 4 or 5 recordings of hers I own. Who rounds out the trio on this CD? Is the program all originals or a mix of standards and originals. Often I find the latter works best for my listening.

B. Goren. Posted October 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 (edited) Who rounds out the trio on this CD? Is the program all originals or a mix of standards and originals? 1. There Is No Greater Love (Jones, Symes) 8:17 2. Picasso (Brackeen) 12:37 3. My Funny Valentine (Hart, Rodgers) 10:24 4. Just One of Those Things (Porter) 8:05 5. Darn That Dream (DeLange, VanHeusen) 6:04 6. Caravan ( Ellington, Mills, Tizol ) 9:15 7. Power Talk ( Brackeen ) 9:29 8. Cosmic Ties and Mud Pies (Brackeen) 2:37 Bassist Ira Coleman and drummer Tony Reedus are doing a perfect job with Mrs. Brackeen. BTW: both recorded very good sessions also with another great pianist: Mulgrew Miller. Edited October 16, 2004 by B. Goren. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B. Goren. Posted March 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 (edited) I recently picked up this CD: This also an amazing session and a very recommended one. Edited March 7, 2009 by B. Goren. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 I'd sure be well-pleased if somebody would get her Tappan Zee sides out on CD, especially the one w/Joe Henderson (the tenor player, not the singer). That's some good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin V Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Any other Brackeen recommendations? Other than what's been recommended already, I'd say: and Invitation has Clint Houston and Billy Hart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Lark Ascending Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Marvellous on this double CD (with extra tracks from the original vinyl) on nude piano and electric piano. A favourite from the earliest days of my jazz listening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Stryker Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) I'm with Jim -- those Tappan LPs were strong, especially "Ancient Dynasty" with Joe Henderson along for the ride. Though I haven't heard it for a long time, I also recall liking "Fi Fi Goes to Heaven" from the mid 80s. Had a brighter melodic sound to it than I often associate with Brackeen. Here she is with Joe's band; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khOd1oRCXPA Edited February 8, 2014 by Mark Stryker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Nessa Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 I alway thought of her as a pounder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Д.Д. Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 I alway thought of her as a pounder. I am with Chuck on this one, at least based on Brackeen's Candid release "Six Ate", the only one of hers I've heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Ptah Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 I have not noticed that Brackeen is a pounder when I have seen her live, or on albums such as "Popsicle Illusion." Chuck Nessa may have heard more of her than I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
