Sweet Release and Ghost Story

Sweet Release and Ghost Story (1999) more music like this

by Wynton Marsalis & Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra

The fifth in Wynton Marsalis' avalanche of eight releases in 1999 was another pairing of ballets, again issued on Sony Classical rather than Columbia. Sweet Release is easily the more ingratiating of the two -- obviously, even slavishly, modeled on the harmonic gospel of Duke Ellington but sassy and swinging just the same. Apparently, it's ...

You Gotta Pay the Band

You Gotta Pay the Band (1991) more music like this

by Abbey Lincoln & Stan Getz

Stan Getz is featured on one of his final recordings on this excellent Abbey Lincoln CD; Getz's cool tenor fits in very well with Lincoln's voice, making one wish that they had met up previously. With pianist Hank Jones, bassist Charlie Haden, drummer Mark Johnson, and (on two songs) Maxine Roach's viola completing the group, it is not surprising ...

Jump Start and Jazz

Jump Start and Jazz (1996) more music like this

by Wynton Marsalis & the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra

These ballets, each lasting a few minutes over half an hour, are mostly written-out compositions with jazz rhythm sections and jazz inflections from the players. As in much of Marsalis' writing in the '90s, he reaches back to several pre-bop classic jazz styles to form a synthesis of his own, with the wailing mark of Ellington ever-present in the ...

Over the Years

Over the Years (2000) more music like this

by Abbey Lincoln

Recorded mostly in New York, Over the Years is aimed at summing up Abbey Lincoln's long career. Joining her are excellent, but not so well-known performers, plus the giant sax player Joe Lovano. But it is Lincoln's special interpretative powers that carry the day, as one would expect. The play list is rather unusual even for an iconoclast like ...

Abbey Sings Abbey

Abbey Sings Abbey (2007) more music like this

by Abbey Lincoln

Vocalist Abbey Lincoln's voice is the sound of the earth yearning for your soul. She is lust turned to wisdom. She is diva turned to soothsayer. In her mid-seventies at the time of this recording, Lincoln is the embodiment of a life lived as a performer and lover and now a storyteller through song. Abbey Sings Abbey finds the songstress revisiting ...

The Complete Cole Porter Songbooks

The Complete Cole Porter Songbooks (1993) more music like this

by Various Artists

This is not and cannot be the Complete Cole Porter Songbooks, but it's a marvelous collection of 48 timeless jazz interpretations drawn from the Verve catalog. Recorded between 1951 and 1988, these standards, ballads and show tunes are rendered by some 15 vocalists, many of whom appear twice, and about 13 instrumental groups. In addition to the ...

Charles Wuorinen: String Sextet; Piano Quintet; Divertimento

Charles Wuorinen: String Sextet; Piano Quintet; Divertimento (2006) more music like this

by Benjamin Hudson (violin), Carmit Zori (violin), Carol Zeavin (violin), Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, Columbia University Group for Contemporary Music, Curtis Macomber (violin), Fred Sherry (cello), Joshua Gordon (cello), Lois Martin (viola)

In the note on the back of this CD, the musical career of Charles Wuorinen is compared to those of Beethoven and Brahms, but the justification for this curious idea may not be apparent to most listeners, since the music of these composers is quite dissimilar. Even though Wuorinen's models are familiar forms -- divertimento, string quartet, piano ...

Straight Ahead

Straight Ahead (1961) more music like this

by Abbey Lincoln

Reissued several times since it originally came out on a Candid LP, this is one of Abbey Lincoln's greatest recordings. It is a testament to the credibility of her very honest music (and her talents) that Lincoln's sidemen on this date include the immortal tenor saxophonist Coleman Hawkins (who takes a memorable solo on "Blue Monk"), Eric Dolphy ...

Dream (1996) more music like this

by Lincoln Adler

Pop singer Gloria Estefan found much greater success after stepping out in the forefront of her band Miami Sound Machine, and the same good fortune should come to saxman Lincoln Adler, who now bills himself as a solo artist after fronting the vastly underrated L.A. pop-fusion ensemble Rain-bo Tribe. The Dream is an infectious combination of ...

Who Used to Dance

Who Used to Dance (1996) more music like this

by Abbey Lincoln

Abbey Lincoln, 65 at the time of this recording, still had a reasonably strong voice at this point in her career, and although she showed signs of mellowing now and then, she was still capable of performing fiery musical statements. This Verve release mostly emphasizes slow tempos and melancholy moods. The nostalgic "Who Used to Dance" (featuring ...
