Litzie's second recording is right on the mark...memorable melodies, strong, infectious grooves in a very well done jazz trio setting.
GENRE: Jazz/Piano Trio
COMPOSERS: Darren Litzie, Thelonius Monk, Rod Argent, Karl Suessdorf, John Blackburn
On Litzie's second recording, prepare for more catchy, infectious music...very well done! .
The title track, 'On My Own Time,' is based on a groove from Brazil that Litzie has always liked called
a Baião. There's a real intensity and excitement with this...
For his arrangement of the standard 'Moonlight in Vermont,' he offers up a bit darker and more melancholy version.
An original, 'Just After Three,' is a fairly simple waltz with plenty of open space for the trio to fill.
'Maybe We'll Try' is based on another groove from Brazil - the Samba.
'If Only I Could Forget' features a Country/R&B-inspired 12/8 groove at a slow tempo.
Darren initially envisioned 'Busy Work' as a 12-bar blues, but it felt a bit too conventional. He was very happy with the result.
'Before Tomorrow' features a feel that Litzie always enjoy playing...medium-up tempo swing...
'A Short Walk from Here' is a playful original with an unexpected rhythmic twist in the second half.
For his take on Monk's 'In Walked Bud,' he arranged it with a funk groove in seven, added a countermelody, and modulated up a whole step on each 'A' section.
For the final track on the record, Litzie wanted to do something a little outside the box and eventually settled on The Zombies' 'Time of the Season'. You'll enjoy this jazz version.
Pianist/Composer Darren Litzie has a solid history. Darren has studied, performed and recorded with many world-renowned artists. From 2009-2010, Darren was the touring keyboardist for singer Andrew Strong of the band/1991 film The Commitments.
An avid composer and arranger, Darren completed a three-year stint as a member of New York's prestigious BMI Jazz Composers Workshop, where he had several of his works premiered in concert by the BMI Jazz Orchestra.
