It gave him an opportunity to both debut new works and to let his sidemen stretch out and act as leaders once in awhile (under his direction). This two-disc set contains 45 recordings, almost all of them brilliant, including sessions ostensibly under ...

Dick Hyman
Performed (as was Dick Hyman's previous Fats Waller project) on a Bosendorfer Reproducing Piano and actually recorded from the piano at a later date (one really cannot tell the difference), this outing finds the great Hyman interpreting 14 of Duke Ellington's compositions. Most intriguing are Ellington's nearly atonal "The Clothed Woman" and "Tonk ...

This outing stretches the boundaries a little, for trumpeter Randy Sandke (who is joined by tenor saxophonist Harry Allen and a big band led by Jiggs Whigham) pays tribute to a variety of great trumpeters ranging from Louis Armstrong ...

While not in the same league as the ensembles of Ellington, Basie, or Lunceford, Charlie Barnet's big band did produce some top sides between 1939-1945. After searching for his own niche throughout the '30s, Barnet hit his stride with a smash cover of "Cherokee." Taking elements of both Ellington and Basie, Barnet fashioned a relatively hard ...
