Product Description

Description

Classical violinist Nigel Kennedy built his reputation on more than just considerable musical talent--he cultivated an appearance and demeanor of a somewhat surly, slightly dissipated rock star. But Kennedy's influences and interests have always been wide-ranging, including jazz, and with BLUE NOTESESSIONS he lets his "jazz side" have free reign. He and producer Jay Newland assembled a most formidable crew to accompany him, including drummer/composer Jack DeJohnette, big-toned tenor saxophonist Joe Lovano, and genially versatile pianist Kenny Werner. While Kennedy is not exactly competition for Jean Luc Ponty, he does evoke Ponty in the latter's early, pre-electric career, playing with a direct lyricism and earnest swing. The selection of songs is both eclectic and enticing, including the bluesy "I Almost Lost My Mind" and thesubtle groove of "Song For My Father".

5.0 out of 5 stars Kennedy of all musicians should not be under-rated, 3 May 2007
By Robert Knowles "109Rob" (Cardiff, Wales, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I think that anybody questioning Kennedy's ability should spend a few hours viewing him on YouTube - or better still, in concert. He has quite understandably been hailed as the world's greatest musical performer by some. I admit that the Blue Note Sessions are quite laid-back, but having seen some of the material performed live by Kennedy only five days ago at Ronnie Scott's Jazz club in London, and having purchased this particular album, I can only say that my respect for Kennedy grows almost daily. Nobody should even begin to question Kennedy's genre-crossing abilities. I doubt anybody except Kennedy could pull off the performance at the Brits classics awards that can be viewed on YouTube. His abilities are stunning. Watching him perform the Blue Note and other material live was overwhelming - best live performance I've ever seen.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, 9 Feb 2007
By Scotlandjohn (Edinburgh, Scotland) - See all my reviews
Jazz fans will hate this album. The arrangements are cheesy, the performances mediocre, and Kennedy's improvisation is more in line with a high school jazz musician than a bestselling violinist. Kennedy fans might enjoy his foray into jazz; others, myself included, will find it too cringeworthy to play more than once.
