    Radiant Blue

    By Peter  Aug 25, 2006 | 1 out of 1 found this Radiant Blue review helpful

    Pros: Really great jazz, dig it!

    Cons: not really anything to knock

    Having incredible musicians around you and being dead-on your musical groove makes for great CDs and this is one. Schwartz plays his best to date, Bernstein is amazing on jazz guitar, Taylor Eigsti is a wonder on piano, and the other guys aren't ...shabby either. Mainly original stuff, a pleasure to listen to.

    Just plain GREAT to listen to

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 26, 2006

    Pros: Killin' music, lush audiophile recording, cool packaging

    Cons: Release a sequel, please!

    These guys can play their butts off, and the sophistication and subtlety of their musical ideas is pretty staggering, but the real reason to buy this CD is just that it's so much FUN to listen to. The compositions get stuck in your head, which is... throughly enjoyable. Pick up this CD if you're looking for fine jazz that really gets you going. We need more of this in the world.

Pro Reviews: Radiant Blue

  • All Music Guide

    Anton Schwartz used the blues as inspiration for nine compositions heard on this studio session, though many of them are not especially bluesy. With a band including a longtime

    collaborator, guitarist Peter Bernstein, plus rising star Taylor Eigsti on piano, bassist John Shiflett and drummer Tim Bulkley, the tenor saxophonist kicks off the date with his percolating, funky "Phantom Dance," which rhythmically suggests the influence of Eddie Harris. His engaging "Slightly Off Course" would have easily been a fit with Art Blakey's repertoire, while Schwartz speaks his mind with a hot tenor solo in "Marcel Marceau." The only standard is a thoughtful arrangement of Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Wave." The band provides strong support throughout the date, with Bernstein and Eigsti adding potent solos as well. Beautifully recorded in 24bit stereo, this CD is warmly recommended.
