Anthony Joseph Lanman: Hommages A Colorful Sonic Palette! BellisarioSonic 2025-09-01 | Anthony Joseph Lanman's new album 'Hommages' from Meyer Media/Swan Studios is an amazing artistic journey that pays tribute to those who inspired Anthony. These colorful pieces were written for solo piano, and pianist Holly Roadfeldt transports us to Eddie Van Halen's arena, behind Hayao Miyazaki's camera lens, within the frenetic energy of Frank Zappa, to Hildegard von Bingen's visions, above the monumental canvas of Jackson Pollock, and so on. Through Roadfeldt's poetic interpretations of Lanman's compelling vignettes, we recognize these piano miniatures are more than a sonic journey but provide us with the artistic inspiration and human connection we so often desire.To Puchase!: anthonyjosephlanman.bandcamp.com/album/hommagesSupport today's Jazz artists Birdbox Records: https://bellisariosonic-arts.square.site/s/shopJazz Vinyl Review Playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-woOmNwv3xGrk22Nre6ufeqLbVn-BXaL Jazz CD Review Playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-woOmNwv3xG3rW7xmOWi6hhb1awJC6QKConversations Playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-woOmNwv3xFP7E2saV7U_9bjPvDSHAoKRock Vinyl Review Playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-woOmNwv3xHXJRgx53BK6UDMVXoxAPSX #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #andreasmeyer#swanstudios#classicalmusic

Whats On The Turntable? Rocky Boyd Ease It A Rare Gem! (1961) BellisarioSonic 2025-08-27 | Ease It is the only known recording by hard bop tenor saxophonist Rocky Boyd, released in 1961 on Jazztime Records (JTL 001). This rare gem features the Rocky Boyd Quintet, with the stellar lineup of Kenny Dorham (trumpet), Walter Bishop Jr. (piano), Ron Carter (bass), and Pete La Roca (drums). Recorded on March 13, 1961, at Bell Sound Studios in New York City, this album captures the raw energy and emotional depth of the hard bop era. Ease It showcases Boyd’s sharp, soul coinciding with the Coltrane-influenced tenor saxophone style, blending seamlessly with Dorham’s lyrical trumpet. The album features six tracks: Boyd’s original composition “Avars,” the standard “Stella by Starlight,” Pete La Roca’s “Why Not?,” the title track “Ease It” by Paul Chambers, Luiz Bonfá’s “Samba De Orfeu,” and Wilbur Harden’s “West 42nd Street.” Each track highlights the quintet’s tight interplay and improvisational prowess, making this a must-listen for jazz fans.
