Anthony H u ff
Owen Cordle calls Bob Florence
“a modern-day Duke Ellington".
This 30-year jazz veteran has lent
his formidable writing and playing
skills to such diverse artists as Count
Basie, Stan Kenton, Sarah Vaughan.
Ray Charles, and Quincy Jones. His
powerhouse big band. The Limited
Edition, has recorded extensively,
and has appeared at the Playboy and
Monterey Jazz Festivals as well as at
other venues across the country.
Florence’s com positions have
earned numerous accolades for their
power and beauty. In addition, his
arrangements o f jazz standards are
often such ingenious reworkings,
that in many instances the listener
may be challenged to identify the
original work. In either case, the
qualities of his writing—strong con
trapuntal lines, broad dynamics and
a flair for the unexpected-are im
mediately identifiable.
This accomplished arranger is also
a pianist of the first order, although he
never indulges in flashiness for it's
own sake. Rather, Florence’s playing
is always seamlessly integrated into
he form and mood of the piece. His
role is that of the master colorist,
whose piano is his orchestra and whose
bold orchestral arrangements are ex
tensions of his approach to jazz piano
playing.
Earth, Florence’s third release for
Mama Records, finds the composer
at the peak of his creative powers.
The eight selections include five in
novative originals as well as rendi
tions of Ellington's “Black and Tan
Fantasy", M onk’s “Straight, No
C h a se r” and Johnny M a n d e l’s
"Emily". Florence and his roster of
d istin c tiv e so lo ist e x p lo re the
album 's rich musical substance with
virtuosity and spirit.
