About this product

The life of Nicolas Chédeville (1705-1782) covers exactly the golden age of the hurdy-gurdy and the musette, the French baroque bagpipe. His time witnessed an 'art of living' that reveled playfully in the idealization of nature as a mirror of ancient Arcady, and his works contributed to the soundscape of his time, one that portrayed this idyllic milieu in operatic dramas whose heroes were constantly questing for the past. In 1739 he published Les Saisons amusantes, concertos by Antonio Vivaldi arranged for bagpipes and hurdy-gurdies. These transcriptions of concertos from Cimento dell armonia e dell'inventione include arrangements for the hurdy-gurdy of three concertos from the Four Seasons. The same year Chedeville made further bucolic arrangements of another three Vivaldi concertos from the same set, calling them Les Plaisirs de l'Ete, La Moisson, and Les Plaisirs de la Saint-Martin (a version of Vivaldi's Il Piacere). Tobie Miller, a star virtuoso of the hurdy-gurdy whose first recording for Ricercar was heaped with critical praise, tackles this repertoire with infectious spontaneity.

Saxophonist Mark Taylor and tag mates RadioAction recorded this eight track session in Brooklyn in Jan. 2002. Opening with Monk's InchBye Ya,Inch they serve notice that they are as entrenched in a modern style as they are reverential of the masters. Following a strong opening statement by Taylor, pianist Whitney Ashe delivers a muscular solo augmented by the powerful rhythm team of drummer Matt Jorgensen and bassist Gary Wang. This appealing and challenging disc of originals and future standards is a thoroughly enjoyable set. - Jazz Review. Originally released in 2002. Album Tracks 1. Bye Ya 2. After Hours 3. Sweet Little Maia 4. The Drifter 5. Foreshadow 6. Around Again 7. A Slippery Slope 8. Walker Evans
