Art Tatum
This double album was taped at a private party in 1956, featuring the amazing Art Tatum on solo piano. Tatum, who died the following year, never did decline, and he is in prime form throughout this highly enjoyable and frequently exciting set of standards. There are no real romps a la "Tiger Rag" but the 27 performances contain plenty of ...

If you add up all the songs Nat King Cole placed in the various Billboard singles charts -- including not only the pop and R&B charts, but also the adult contemporary and even country ones, as well as the lists of discs "bubbling under" the main pop chart -- the total comes to a remarkable 123, and that's not including the many repeat appearances ...

Collectables' Who Will Answer?/My Cup Runneth Over combines two late-'60s albums from Ed Ames onto one compact disc. These two albums were easy listening records, with light folk, country, and pop influences. While Ames sounds out of place on "Blowin' in the Wind," "Yesterday," and "Monday, Monday," the overall quality of the material is quite ...

Lee Konitz/Paul Bley Quartet
Altoist Lee Konitz and pianist Paul Bley had been aware of each other since the 1950s. They first recorded together in the 1970s for Bley's IAI label, although this 1997 meeting is actually their most rewarding joint recording. When Konitz solos on these seven veteran standards, Bley plays fairly straightforwardly, but when it is time for the ...
