Miles Smiles

Miles Smiles (1966) more music like this

by Miles Davis

With their second album, Miles Smiles, the second Miles Davis Quintet really began to hit their stride, delving deeper into the more adventurous, exploratory side of their signature sound. This is clear as soon as "Orbits" comes crashing out the gate, but it's not just the fast, manic material that has an edge -- slower, quieter numbers are ...

Playing for Keeps

Playing for Keeps (2007) more music like this

by Bob DeVos

The three members in Bob DeVos' regular trio, guitarist DeVos, organist Dan Kostelnik, and drummer Steve Johns, all deserve to be much better known. They cook as well as any organ trio around in the early 21st century, stretching from hard bop to soul-jazz and freer explorations. Each of the musicians has his own sound within the tradition. On ...

Jungle Soul

Jungle Soul (2006) more music like this

by Dr. Lonnie Smith

When Lonnie Smith cut Boogaloo to Beck in 2003 he made a comeback, though he was never gone in the first place. That record's deeply grooving, funky soul-jazz cut to the chase in a way many jazz organ records hadn't by taking the Blue Note aesthetic of turning the pop tunes of the day -- even those as esoteric as Beck Hansen's -- and turning them ...

The Best of Eddie Harris

The Best of Eddie Harris (1965) more music like this

by Eddie Harris

Part of a massive Atlantic Jazz Anthology series in 1970, this LP-turned-CD was skimpy in its day, and now serves as the sketchiest of introductions to this bewilderingly eclectic saxophonist/inventor/pianist/bopper/balladeer/funkmeister. Even assuming the limited time frame, why were three of Eddie Harris' seven Atlantic albums up to that point ...

Live at the Other End

Live at the Other End (2007) more music like this

by Jimmy Ponder

Let's face it, solo jazz guitar records -- by most guitar masters anyway -- would become rather ho hum unless of course you are a student of the instrument or a die-hard fanatic. There are exceptions: Jim Hall, Bola Sete, Tal Farlow, as well as others purposely omitted for brevity here. Live at the Other End by Jimmy Ponder is not only engaging ...

Hello, Friend: To Ennis with Love

Hello, Friend: To Ennis with Love (1997) more music like this

by Bill Cosby

Hello, Friend: To Ennis With Love is a touching, moving tribute to Bill Cosby's murdered son that chooses to celebrate instead of mourn. Cosby produced the album, enlisting Lester Bowie (trumpet), Philip Harper (trumpet), Bobby Watson (alto saxophone), Craig Handy (tenor saxophone), Cedar Walton (piano), Peter Washington (bass), Billy Higgins ...

Live at Baker's Keyboard Lounge

Live at Baker's Keyboard Lounge (2004) more music like this

by James Carter

Between 1995 and 2004, Detroit saxophonist James Carter released several conceptual discs: a salute to Django Reinhardt (Chasin' the Gypsy), electric-era Miles Davis (Layin' in the Cut), jazz ballads (Real Quiet Storm), and a lush Billie Holiday tribute (Gardenias for Lady Day). With the release of each disc, the unavoidable question remained: ...

Live In 3 2/3 4 Time (1966) more music like this

by Don Ellis

The Don Ellis Orchestra really came into its own during the period covered by this CD (1966-1967), playing perfectly coherent solos in ridiculous time signatures. At the time, the band consisted of five trumpets, three trombones, five reeds, piano, three basses, two drummers, and three percussionists. "Barnum's Revenge" has the ensemble playing a ...

Giant Steps

Giant Steps (1973) more music like this

by Woody Herman

Woody Herman always went out of his way during his long career to encourage younger players, often persuading them to write arrangements of recent tunes for his orchestra. On this recording one gets to hear his band interpret such selections as Chick Corea's "La Fiesta," Leon Russell's "A Song for You," "Freedom Jazz Dance," "A Child Is Born" and ...

The Miles Davis Quintet, 1965-68: The Complete Columbia Studio [2004 Reissue] (1965) more music like this

by Miles Davis

There's little argument that the quintet Miles Davis led between 1965 and 1968 was one of the classic combos in the history of jazz. By teaming with the adventurous young musicians Wayne Shorter (tenor sax), Herbie Hancock (piano), Ron Carter (bass), and Tony Williams (drums), Davis pushed mainstream jazz toward the avant-garde, expanding on the ...

Tones for Joan's Bones/Mountain in the Clouds (1999) more music like this

by Chick Corea & Miroslav Vitous

This compilation hits a bull's-eye by pulling together two key sessions: Chick Corea's first as a leader, a blazing, advanced hard bop set from 1966, and Miroslav Vitous' Mountain in the Clouds, recorded in 1969 just prior to the bassist joining the original Weather Report. Corea's writing on Tones for Joan's Bones has an affinity with McCoy Tyner ...

Jazz Hits, Vol. 1 (2006) more music like this

by MB3

The MB3 trio is a bit unusual, as it features three guitarists (rather than two). But veterans Jimmy Bruno and Vic Juris mesh well with newcomer Corey Christiansen, adding fine support by bassist Jay Anderson and drummer Danny Gottlieb, in this volume in a series of CDs exploring fresh arrangements of very familiar jazz works and standards. Songs ...

The Pressure (1993) more music like this

by Phillip Bent

The adage about judging books by their covers translates to CDs and their jackets as well. The tough leaning, leather jacketed photo of Phillip Bent on his only GRP recording belies the flutist's basic sweetness as a player and composer. The London born artists, whose jazz sensibilities evolved as a member of the Jazz Warriors along with Courtney ...

Lucky to Be Me (2006) more music like this

by Taylor Eigsti

What can you say about a 21-year-old jazz pianist who begins with John Coltrane's "Giant Steps," turns the harmony inside out, twists the mode, and presents its mirror image and reflects the composer's lyricism and fire in fiery post-bop language, and still maintain the integrity of the tune? Only that it's Taylor Eigsti. Lucky to Be Me is Eigsti ...

Miles 2 Go (1996) more music like this

by Mark Ledford

It took sessionman/singer/producer/jingle-writer Ledford two years to put together his first record as a leader, and although the eclectic results betray the patchwork recording schedule, it is an absorbing, at times exciting debut. Miles Davis is the unifying element; most of the selections are Miles chestnuts and standards that he made his own, ...

Wood (2002) more music like this

by Brian Bromberg

Wood is Brian Bromberg's debut for the A440 Music Group, and it is a very strong example of his extraordinary straight-ahead jazz skills as presented in three exciting formats. In addition to the six tracks he performs in a trio setting with drummer David Bromberg and pianist Randy Waldman, Brian Bromberg duets with Waldman on the inimitable "Days ...

Reimagined, Vol. 1: Jazz Standards (2003) more music like this

by Steve Smith/Michael Zilber

Drummer Steve Smith and his quartet (comprised of Michael Zilber on tenor and soprano, pianist Paul Nagel and bassist John Shifflett) live up to their CDs title by performing sometimes radically-reimagined renditions of 11 jazz standards. "All Blues" is a bit spacey (with Zilber on soprano), "Mood Indigo" is taken uptempo with Zilber's tenor ...

Davey Blue (2002) more music like this

by David "Fathead" Newman

This excellent session does a fine job of showing off David "Fathead" Newman's jazz talents. Newman is heard on tenor sax on four selections, taking two songs apiece on flute and alto. Joined by pianist Cedar Walton, the fine if underrated vibraphonist Bryan Carrott, bassist David Williams, and drummer Kenny Washington, Newman stretches out on ...

Tribute to Legendary Eddie Harris (1996) more music like this

by Ronnie Laws

Ronnie Laws' performs eight songs associated with the late, great saxophonist Eddie Harris. In some spots Laws (whose other recordings are in the worlds of jazz-funk and pop) closely copies his early inspiration, but when he tries to sound like himself, he comes across as a fine improviser. Laws (who doubles on tenor and soprano) is joined by a ...

Hot Hands (2003) more music like this

by Ray Barretto & New World Spirit

Concord Jazz did a smashing job on Hot Hands of reissuing two stellar yet under-the-radar Latin jazz albums by Ray Barretto's New World Spirit ensemble of the 1990s. Hot Hands consists of Ancestral Messages, first released in 1993, and Taboo, which was issued the following year. The connection between the two albums goes deeper than chronology. ...
