Desert Flower is a culmination of the sound that Lenny and Tony have been working on over the last few years. After meeting and playing together at a jam session at the Christiania Jazz Club In Copenhagen, Denmark in June of 2010, they partnered up and began touring together in Russia. This recording documents some of the original music they have played in the last 2 years, as well as some new music written specifically for this recording.
Lenny Sendersky is from St.Petersburg, Russia. There he completed his formal musical training, college education and gained his experience as a visionary, performer and producer. In order to launch his international career, Lenny chose to invest a couple years into living, working and developing his craft in Denmark. In 2011, Sendersky immigrated to Israel, gradually and confidently established himself in the jazz scene of his new home by performing and successfully producing projects featuring Israeli, American and European jazz artists.
“There’s a strong sense of liberation that fuels Sendersky’s alto/soprano sax playing on the record; it glimmers with life and personality, free from any creative restraints”. —All About Jazz

Guitarist Tony Romano has been a vital part of the New York City music scene for over twenty years, and has had the privilege of touring, performing and recording with the world’s finest musicians. Tony is adjunct faculty at Five Towns College, and a Teaching Artist for the Kupferberg Center at Queens College.
“His tone is beautiful and soulful, and his remarkable technique is a servant to his rich musical imagination and broad harmonic palette.”

— Just Jazz Guitar Magazine
What The Press Is Saying About “Desert Flower”
“This date just falls right into the easy going, mainstream pocket and never wears out it’s welcome. Simply one of those snappy records that just catches you by surprise and makes sure you have a good time.  Well done”. Chris Spector, Midwest Record

Because Tony Romano is an unusually sensitive and responsive accompanist, his strong profile as a soloist (on both acoustic and electric guitars) and a composer of sophisticated yet accessible tunes doesn’t consistently get the appreciation it deserves. This disc surely will correct that situation, as well as remind jazz fans of alto/soprano sax master Lenny Sendersky’s flexible lyricism as an improvisor, and his gift for penning deceptively simple yet edgier-than-they-appear tunes. Both musicians are abetted by Steve LaSpina’s seasoned support (those deliciously rubbery Ron Carter-like long notes!) and drummer Matt Kane’s busy yet totally unobtrusive polyrhythmic aplomb. Vibraphonist Joe Locke’s colorful, discreet constributions blend well on three tracks, while Randy Brecker’s familiar trumpet work (on Horizons and Sophie) has lost nothing in melodic focus and tonal warmth over the years. Cleve Douglass’ timbre, timing and willingness to take chances has considerably evolved over the two decades since we recorded Duke Ellington Boulevard together, and his two guest tracks (My Father’s Island and Nature Boy) whet the appetite for a long belated new solo disc from this beautiful, undervalued singer. While the engineering is overly close and spotlit for my taste (I’d prefer more group blend and room tone, given the musicians’ chamber-like interplay), the variety in programming and mood add up to a rewarding listening experience. Highly recommended. – Jed Distler, writer for Gramophone

“Sendersky, whether he is playing alto or soprano, has a sweet tone, but he can growl with the best of them when necessary. Romano is a guitarist with imagination and the chops to go with it” – Jack Goodstein

By Leonid Auskern
четыре страны – Израиль, США, Россию и Данию. В Израиле живет с 2011 года, играет на саксофоне, сочиняет музыку и продюсирует различные музыкальные проекты один из авторов проекта данного – Ленни Сендерски. Другой автор, американец Тони Романо, играет на гитаре и преподает тонкости джазового мастерства в Куинс Колледж. Россия здесь важна, потому что Ленни Сендерски родился, вырос и получил музыкальное образование в Санкт-Петербурге. Именно по России Ленни и Тони недавно совершили концертный тур. Вы можете задать вопрос: ну, а Дания-то тут причем? Дело в том, что именно в этой стране пересеклись творческие пути обоих музыкантов. Именно в Дании Ленни, еще до эмиграции в Израиль, совершенствовал свое исполнительское мастерство. В 2010 году в одном из джазовых клубов Копенгагена, на джем-сешн, познакомились и впервые сыграли вместе Сендерски и Романо.

С тех пор они работают вместе, а альбом Desert Flower подводит некий итог двухлетнему этапу сотрудничества музыкантов. Его программу составили как ранее исполнявшиеся ими композиции, так и пьесы, специально сочиненные для этого проекта. Desert Flower – альбом почти полностью авторский: каждый из его создателей представлен здесь четырьмя композициями. Есть еще на диске и два кавера, но о них чуть позже, а сначала о гостях проекта. Надо сказать, что помимо ритм-группы, Ленни и Тони удалось пригласить в свой проект мастеров экстра-класса: в двух пьесах здесь играет на трубе легендарный Рэнди Брэкер, а в других трех звучит вибрафон не менее известного Джо Локка. А вот теперь о каверах: композиция My Father’s Island великого Эллингтона и Nature Boy, хит Нэт Кинг Коула, сочиненный колоритным Иденом Ахбезом, словно сошедшим со страниц книг Керуака – это вокальные треки, где к инструменталистам присоединяется певец Клив Дуглас (он, кстати, присоединялся к Ленни и Тони и во время тура по России).

Голос Клива с его какими-то африканскими интонациями вносит приятное разнообразие в программу альбома. Но эпитет «приятный» относится не только к вокальным трекам. Приятна, комфортна, хорошо «ложится на ухо» и вся музыка Desert Flower. Наверное, у многих после этих строк мелькнет в сознании термин smooth-jazz? Одним этот стиль нравится, другие считают его пародией на джаз настоящий, но, на мой взгляд, к smooth-jazz музыка Сендерски и Романо отношения все же не имеет. Это все же мэйнстрим на основе пост-бопа, но сочиненный и исполненный столь тонко и изящно, что Ленни и Тони успешно пронесли свой «Цветок пустыни» (так можно перевести название альбома) по узкому песчаному бархану (стараюсь соблюсти пустынный колорит) между джазом и его лакированным подобием. Порукой тому – отличные дуэты саксофона и трубы, напряженные диалоги гитары и вибрафона, да и просто – подлинно джазовый feeling, присущий практически каждому треку альбома. Другой вопрос, что, наверное, не только стремление к творческому самовыражению, но и мысли о максимальном количестве потенциальных слушателей владели авторами при работе над этим диском. Мне кажется, им удалось успешно соединить в одно целое обе эти задачи.

“Forward Ever, Backward Never”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

February 3, 2014, 2014, Brooklyn, New York−−15th Annual Central Brooklyn Jazz Festival, March 28 thru April 30, 2014, presented by the Central Brooklyn Jazz Consortium.  This music series is New York City’s longest continuously running grassroots festival dedicated to jazz.  More than 500 artists performing in over 50 events at various venues throughout Brooklyn. This celebration is financially accessible and open to all.  For information contact CBJC at 718.773.2252 x 103 or info@cbjcjazz.org.

International acclaimed artists and Brooklyn favorities performing at entertainment venues, cultural, educational and faith based institutions during Jazz Appreciation Month.  Central Brooklyn Jazz Festival has grown from a nine day neighborhood event to a highly anticipated month long borough-wide music series. The backbone of this community based jazz festival are the musicians and venues that fuel Brooklyn’s nightlife economy and keep its music scene vibrate.

Festival 2014 features internationally acclaimed artists and Brooklyn favorites performing at Brooklyn cultural/faith based institutions, community centers, restaurants/bars, and entertainment venues.  Musicians such as Lou Donaldson, Cynthia Scott, Vanessa Rubin, Stanley Banks, Emeline Michel, Vincent Herring, Winard Harper, Dr. Mambo, Eric Lemon, Gerry Eastman, Jeff King, Steve Cromity, William Spaulding, Peter Bernstein, The New Cookers, and others will headline performances at Brooklyn Academy of Music, Dweck Center for Contemporary Culture-Brooklyn Public Library, Emmanuel Baptist Church, New York Aquarium, BrownstoneJAZZ, For My Sweet Event Space, Madiba Restaurant, Two Steps Down, Williamsburg Music Center, and the Brooklyn Jazz Hall of Fame ceremony at Brooklyn Historical Society.  Programs honoring ladies in Jazz, “Jazz! The Women’s ViewPoint”; a Claver Place Street Festival at For My Sweet dedicated to South Africa (20th anniversary as a democracy), and showcasing the future of this art form with an afternoon of young people in the “Youth Jazz Jamboree.” are also scheduled.

“Central Brooklyn Jazz Consortium mantra for festival 2014, ‘Forward Ever, Backward Never’.” states festival coordinator Bob Myers, “This revolutionary battle cry is a fitting slogan for this Brooklyn music festival bringing together various ethnic groups through the language of Jazz.  As the borough tackles the challenges of evenly spreading economic opportunities.  The arts will play a greater role in addressing disparities existing in this municipality.”  Events will take place in various neighborhoods such as Brownsville, Bushwick, Coney Island, Crown Heights, East New York, and Williamsburg just to name some.  Patrons not only enjoy great jazz but can experience the cuisines of the 93 ethnic groups living within the festival’s boundaries.

Central Brooklyn Jazz Consortium/CBJC founded in 1999, is an amalgam of patrons, entertainment venues, faith based institutions, community organizations and musicians.  Over the past fourteen (14) years CBJC has presented an annual spring festival, established a Brooklyn Jazz Hall of Fame & Museum ™ and produced yearly programs that feature local jazz talent.  CBJC is a nonprofit corporation committed to preserving, promoting, and supporting live music within the underserved communities of Brooklyn.
