I wanted to capture the spontaneous intensity and energy of playing jazz without a safety net. I also wanted to test my own performance and improvisatory skills in real time. I wanted to “walk the walk” without relying on overdubbing solos later or “fixes-in-the-mix.” Pianist Eric Olsen, bassist Dmitri Kolesnik, drummer Jimmy Madison and I set up together at Tom Tedesco Studios. I counted off my three originals and six standards and the result is this recording.
The
message of the title is the same whether LIVE INTENTIONALLY! strikes
you as “intentionally recorded live!” or “live your life with
intentionality!” This is our genuine, spontaneous playing, reaching for
all the joy and beauty we could capture in each moment. I’d like to
express my gratitude for the brilliant contribu- ions of Jack Wilkins,
Bucky Pizzarrelli, Tom Tedesco, Luis Guell and my outstanding
collaborators Eric Olsen, Dmitri Kolesnik and Jimmy Madison. I sincerely
hope you enjoy it. Larry Newcomb PhD Guitarist Larry Newcomb performs
classic and original jazz and blues both as a soloist and in duo, trio
and quartet ensembles. Larry has contributed a wealth of electric and
acoustic guitar stylings in performances and on recordings with Bucky
Pizzarelli, Jack Wilkins, Seleno Clarke, Billy Kaye, Jon Weiss, Mike
Camoia, Larry Newcomb Trio, his duo Jonaitis & Newcomb, the band
Wolfgang’s Revenge and with Babs Winn & the Kickin’ Boogie Band.
Newcomb has studied with guitar masters Bucky Pizzarelli, Mark Elf, Pat Martino, Howard Roberts and Randy Johnston. His affable performing style is informed by a PhD in Music History and a seasoned master’s understanding of the jazz idiom.
The
path to jazz mastery is long, challenging, rewarding and never-ending. I
started out transcribing then quoting great blues guitarists including
B. B. King, Albert King, Freddie King, Eric Clapton and Duane Allman. In
my early 20s, I heard Jim Hall, George Benson, Joe Pass, Barney Kessel,
Herb Ellis and Kenny Burrell. My direction was established. I slowly
developed a repertoire of standard tunes; and, by transposing the work
of the masters, I learned to address each harmonic element of a tune in
its own rite--especially the creation and resolution of tension from
each dominant chord to the temporary or permanent tonic. Throughout my
musical journey, I’ve strived to play what I hear, and to make each note
ring with colorful, clear and heartfelt beauty.
