Great Ladies of Jazz [Rebound] (1995) more music like this

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 ...

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 ...

The Riverside Records Story

The Riverside Records Story (1997) more music like this

by Various Artists

The Riverside Records Story is essentially Orrin Keepnews' baby -- and why not, for the grizzled jazz producer/journalist co-founded the label, ran it from day one in 1952 until it suddenly went bankrupt in 1964, and produced almost all of the original sessions. Riverside's current custodians at Fantasy had Keepnews select and sequence four CDs' ...

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 ...

People in Me (1973) more music like this

by Abbey Lincoln

The music on this out-of-print LP from the defunct Inner City label was recorded in Japan and has been released by several other record companies since. Abbey Lincoln's first record in a decade, the set features the very original singer joined by a couple of Japanese players (pianist Hiromasa Suzuki and bassist Kunimitsu Inaba) plus drummer Al ...

First Among Equals: The Greatest Hits (1995) more music like this

by Equals

This two-CD, 40-song compilation is not so much a greatest hits as a lengthy retrospective. In any case, the designation "greatest hits" is pushing it in the U.S., where only "Baby Come Back" (included here, of course) made the Top 40. Forty songs might seem like too much, but actually it should be your first choice, because of both its consistent ...

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 ...

Gentle Creatures (1995) more music like this

by Tarnation

Given that Tarnation's frontwoman Paula Frazer is best known for her work with the L.A. post-punk band Frightwig -- and since Gentle Creatures is, after all, a product of the arty 4AD label -- the absolute-torch-and-twang authenticity that defines the record is a wonderful surprise; ethereal yet earthy, the album's strength derives from all of its ...

Great Jazz Vocalists Sing the Gershwin Songbook (1992) more music like this

by Various Artists

In the pantheon of jazz singers, the great tunes of George and Ira Gershwin have always been favorites. Special vocalists can make these compositions their own, elevating each number by the way they phrase, emote, or interpret without reinterpreting. That innate ability to take a well-worn standard and invigorate it is well documented within these ...

Jazz for Joy (1996) more music like this

by Various Artists

This is a well-rounded set of Christmas songs played by some of Verve's top artists. Shirley Horn, Betty Carter and Abbey Lincoln take two vocals apiece, and the seven instrumentals feature such major players as trumpeters Roy Hargrove and Nicholas Payton, bassist Christian McBride, guitarist Mark Whitfield (showcased on "Soulful Jingle Bells") ...

Enja 20th Anniversary Sampler celebrates the label's tenure with performances by some of Enja's best-loved artists, including Gust Tsilis, Mitch Watkins, and Tommy Flanagan. Wayne Krantz and John Scofield, two of the label's jazz guitarists par excellence contribute "Sossity, You're a Woman" and "Yawn," both of which rank among the collection's ...

My Funny Valentine: The Rodgers & Hart Songbook (1993) more music like this

by Various Artists

One of the choicest of Verve's many venerable songbook releases, My Funny Valentine spotlights some of the jazz canon's best moments in song; and how could it be otherwise, considering the program features the core of Rodgers & Hart's monumental song canon? That's why it's an all-star affair, with such singing royalty as Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah ...

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 ...

The Best Jazz Is Played with Verve (1993) more music like this

The early '90s saw the Verve label revived, reissuing older material, and signing current day artists. This ten-song sampler with four well-known jazz icons plus saxophonist Maceo Parker gave the public a taste of what Verve was offering in a contemporary era, while attempting to stay close to their established tradition. While vocalists Shirley ...
