AMAZING!,
By
This review is from: Teranga (Audio CD)
A TERRIFIC NEW ALBUM BY JON FADDIS (LEADER & TRUMPET)AND THE THREE OTHER MEMBERS OF HIS QUARTET: DION PARSONS (ON DRUMS), DAVID HAZELTINE (ON PIANO) AND KIYOSHI KITAGAWA (ON BASS)
THERE ARE ALSO GUEST APPEARANCES BY GARY SMULYAN, CLARK TERRY, FRANK WESS, AND RUSSELL MALONE THERE IS GREAT CHEMISTRY IN THE MUSIC. THE NUMBERS ARE EXCITING, EMOTIONAL AND FULL OF FEELING. IT IS A WONDERFUL PIECE OF WORK. FROM INSIDE THE ALBUM: "THE MEANING OF TERENGA IS HOSPITALITY, BROTHERHOOD AND SHARING. I THINK JON IS RIGHT TO NAME HIS SONGS 'TERANGA' BECAUSE HE HIMSLEF IS TERANGA. ABDOU MBOUP THE SPIRIT OF TERANGA COMES THROUGHOUT THE ALBUM. IT IS A JOY TO LISTEN TO. I AM BUYING A FEW MORE COPIES OF THE DISC FOR FATHER'S DAY AND BIRTHDAY GIFTS! THIS IS A GREAT ALBUM- A MUST HAVE FOR YOUR COLLECTION!

By Lady Love "Love a Good Love Song" (CA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Teranga (Audio CD)
This is beautifully put together. Title song Teranga is the icing on the cake! I can listen over and over again. Excellent execution as usual. I'd like to hear more of this original style from Jon Faddis in the future! Bravo!!!

Great musician,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Teranga (Audio CD)
I purchased this CD immediately after attending a hot and swinging concert of Jon Faddis quartet in Zagreb; they played several numbers from this album and I was quite intrigued and highly entertained...
The album shows the virtuosity of Jon and his band, although the live performance was (not surprisingly) more spirited. However, the album boasts some stellar and absolutely amazing guests, including the one and only Clark Terry, a true giant and a musician who inspires other musicians and warms the listener's hearts. Most of the compositions are by Faddis, and they are fine, but the true gem is one tune composed by Benny Carter - Faddis is probably a better player than composer. But what a power house player he is - capable of highest flights (and highest notes), he is also quite subtle when necessary, a true musician... Naturally, one can say Dizzy Gillespie's influence is still audible in Faddis' playing, but that is by no means a fault. Faddis is not a great innovator, he is "only" a great musician.
