Wynton Marsalis
Trumpeter Wynton Marsalis' soundtrack to Ken Burns' documentary Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise and Fall of Jack Johnson is a compelling and rootsy mix of blues and swing. Having worked with Burns on the PBS "Jazz" series, Marsalis' Unforgivable Blackness soundtrack seems like a natural progression of a fruitful partnership. Not dissimilar to ...

Dave Van Ronk
Dave Van Ronk's death in 2002 took away one of the key architects of the Great Folk Revival of the late 1950s and early 1960s, and while Van Ronk never made the kind of broad cultural impact that younger musicians like Bob Dylan or Joan Baez made at the time, his steady mentoring is everywhere apparent in the urban folk movement of the day. Known ...

The Kings of Jazz featuring Kenny Davern
This accurately named group came about when, following a European tour by the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra in the spring of 1974, British impresario Eddie Kennedy asked the orchestra's trumpeter, Pee Wee Erwin, to select a smaller ensemble for a tour of England, Germany, and Sweden later in the year. The resulting octet was basically a who's who of ...

For their sixth Concord recording, there was a major change in the personnel of the Cheathams' Sweet Baby Blues Band.

Art Hodes
Art Hodes was just ten days short of his 84th birthday at the time of this Candid solo piano CD. Hodes had his own style for quite a few decades by then. A masterful blues player, on the more up-tempo tunes, Art's left hand tended to state each beat in double-time, a very effective device. For this tribute to Jelly Roll Morton, Hodes performs 13 ...

John Sheridan
The pianist from Jim Cullum's San Antonio based jazz band goes it alone on fifteen solo piano cuts. Sheridan's thing is stride and swing, in fact few pianists play the lyrical, bouncy stride piano these days as well as Sheridan, and he's a jewel just for that. He's moreso remarkably steady and consistent, the epitome of in-the-pocket for this ...

This collection of Jelly Roll Morton classics is exactly that: the prime cuts from his later years (many of his performances after 1929 were spotty, at best). Jazz journalist Scott Yanow compiled this set for Allegro and writes an essay that perfectly describes the settings in which Morton found himself for these sessions. While the liner notes ...
