Shank’s quartet then had Claude Williams on piano Don Prell on bass and Chuck Flores on drums.

Jazz Guitarist in a Gospel-Soul Catharsis
New York Times
He didn’t sound like a visitor in the realm. He sounded at home and happy to be there. And crucially he seemed aware of both the music’s needs and its potential limitations. Instead of navigating fast-moving streams of rhythm and harmony as in his post-bop bands he was leaning on a stable firmament. So he dug in deep often parceling his notes into flinty riffs.

CD of the week Claudia Acuna: “En Este Momento” (Marsalis Music). urs is not a great age for jazz singing with minimally talented vocalists enjoying big careers thanks to marketing muscle. Chilean singer Acuna however offers hope that there may still be a place for emotionally profound intellectually substantial singing. In one of the most compelling recordings of her career Acuna sings mostly in Spanish a range of pan-American music.
