Free Music Notes for Heroes
Free Music Review: SmoothJazz.com Review
Hit: 5 Stars
One of the finest contemporary piano players of our time releases a gorgeous new recording celebrating the music of his favorite recording artists (his heroes) including: The Beatles, Dave Brubeck, Miles Davis, Oscar Peterson, The Doors, Bill Evans, Michael Jackson and Horace Silver. In the album's liner notes, he says that he realizes that he's saluting jazz greats along with rock gods and that may seem incongruent, his response is, "These are artists that shaped my career. That touched my soul. That gave me a reason to be a musician." He admits a few omissions including Leonard Bernstein, John Barry and Henry Mancini as he believes these artists deserve to be represented in a more orchestral context. Benoit has paid tribute to another hero in the past, Vince Guaraldi and even suggests the possibility of entire album dedications to Antonio Carlos Jobim and Claude Bolling. This tasty outing features David's sophisticated, rich piano styling... he's as engaging as ever on this, his second release on the Peak recording label. HEROES is a brilliantly produced/arranged full band recording featuring strings (violin, viola, cello) making for a very classic jazz presentation. It reminds me of the albums that my father used to play... the likes of Oscar Peterson, Miles Davis, Cal Tjader... From Michael Jackson's "Human Nature" to Dave Grusin's "Mountain Dance," to The Doors "Light My Fire," Benoit suspends time with this elegant homage to his musical champions!
Heroes Poster
David Benoit pays homage to some of his favourite recording artists that have had a distinct influence on his creativity throughout the years. The music of Dave Grusin, Elton John, The Doors, Horace Silver, Miles Davis, The Beatles and Dave Brubeck are very diverse in style, but, similar in terms of impact on the legendary contemporary jazz pianist's career.Jazz Music CDs
