The Genius of Coleman Hawkins

The Genius of Coleman Hawkins (1957) more music like this

by Coleman Hawkins

Genius may not be the right word, but "brilliance" certainly fits. At the age of 51 in 1957 Hawkins had already been on records for 35 years and had been one of the leading tenors for nearly that long. This CD matches him with the Oscar Peterson Trio (plus drummer Alvin Stoller) for a fine runthrough on standards. Hawk plays quite well, although ...

The Complete Capitol Trios

The Complete Capitol Trios (1999) more music like this

by Benny Goodman

The Complete Captiol Trios is a long-overdue reissue of the five trio sessions Benny Goodman led for Capitol Records. The five sessions are easily broken down into two categories -- recordings from 1947 and recordings from 1954. The highlights of the 1947 recordings are sessions with pianist Teddy Wilson and drummer Jimmy Crawford. This provided ...

After Hours Swing Session

After Hours Swing Session (1990) more music like this

by Duke Robillard

While guitarist Duke Robillard has won widespread popularity for his facility with rocking blues and barrelhouse numbers, he also loves understated, quietly swinging jazz fare. He got a chance to demonstrate his proficiency in this style on this intimate combo session. The eight songs featured on the CD include brisk workouts as well as light ...

20th Century Piano Genius

20th Century Piano Genius (1950) more music like this

by 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 ...

Meditation: Solo Guitar

Meditation: Solo Guitar (2002) more music like this

by Joe Pass

Joe Pass achieved extraordinary balance in his career. Because he remained grounded in bop and swing, his guitar work was more conservative than many fusion and post-bop players, but his solo guitar work also ventured into unexplored territory, combining the single-note dexterity of Charlie Christian with the block chords of Carl Kress. Meditation ...

Swing Low, Sweet Mandolin

Swing Low, Sweet Mandolin (1995) more music like this

by Jethro Burns

Kenneth Jethro Burns' reputation was built on the country comedy records he made with Homer Haynes over several decades as one-half of Homer & Jethro, though it was only after his partner's death that many fans began to comprehend how talented a mandolin player he was. Fortunately, David Grisman (a master mandolin player himself), like many fellow ...

Joe and Zoot and More

Joe and Zoot and More (2002) more music like this

by Joe Venuti/Zoot Sims

At first glance, Philadelphia violinist Joe Venuti and Los Angeles tenor/soprano saxophonist Zoot Sims might seem an unlikely combination. Venuti was known for swing, classic jazz, and Dixieland, whereas Sims (who was young enough to be Venuti's son) was primarily a cool/bop musician along the lines of Stan Getz, Al Cohn, and Paul Quinichette. But ...

A Jazz Odyssey (2002) more music like this

by Oscar Peterson

This 18-track selection of Oscar Peterson's work was assembled to coincide with the great pianist's autobiography. Centering on his most creative period, from 1950-1970, this compilation focuses intently on the years Peterson spent playing with Dizzy Gillespie, Ella Fitzgerald, Stan Getz, Billie Holiday, Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young, Roy Eldridge ...

Lady Day's 25 Greatest: 1933-1944 (1996) more music like this

by Billie Holiday

Although she didn't technically have the greatest voice and range, the legendary Billie Holiday had an intangible ability to bring the full of her life to bear on whatever she sang, and every song she touched, no matter how trite, gained poignancy because of it. Modeling her vocal phrasing to echo the sound of a jazz horn, and fully aware of how ...

Moanin' Low (2004) more music like this

by Billie Holiday

Fans and critics view Billie Holiday's early recordings for Columbia and Decca with scorn and respect: scorn for the lack of quality material she was given, respect for how she and Teddy Wilson's band were able to lift a number like "Your Mother's Son-In-Law" to a higher level of artistry. Living Era, always a paragon in delivering excellence and ...

A Handful of Riffs (1927) more music like this

by Eddie Lang

Almost always presented in tandem reissues with violinist Joe Venuti, early jazz guitar virtuoso Eddie Lang here receives an outstanding and well-deserved tribute: 21 chronologically arrayed classic jazz and blues recordings made between 1927 and 1929 without a trace of Venuti but featuring a number of gifted musicians. Lang is heard by himself on ...

Best of Nat King Cole: The Instrumental Classics/The Vocal Classics (1998) more music like this

by Nat King Cole

With 62 total tracks, including many of Nat King Cole's most beloved vocal numbers along with his underappreciated world-class piano trio recordings all in one package, you can't go wrong with this unless it is out of your budget. If you have no Nat King Cole whatsoever in your collection, you'd be well advised to save up until you can get this ...

Anatomy of a Jam Session (2000) more music like this

by Nat King Cole/Buddy Rich

Cole is heard on this quintet session purely as a pianist, co-starring with trumpeter Charlie Shavers and tenor saxophonist Herbie Haymer; bassist John Simmons and drummer Buddy Rich play mainly in support. The quintet only actually performs five songs but seven alternate takes fill in the program and it is very interesting hearing the musicians ...

The Quintessential Billie Holiday, Vol. 4 (1937) (1937) more music like this

by Billie Holiday

The fourth of nine CDs in this essential series of Billie Holiday's studio recordings of 1933-1942 features the great tenor Lester Young on eight of the 16 performances. Prez and Lady Day make a perfect match on "I'll Get By" (although altoist Johnny Hodges steals the honors on that song), "Mean to Me," "Easy Living," "Me, Myself and I," and "A ...

Red Norvo Orchestra Live from the Blue Gardens (1942) more music like this

by Red Norvo

Red Norvo's 1942 big band only recorded two songs and was otherwise completely undocumented. However, a tape of a radio broadcast was saved by trombonist Eddie Bert through the years and released on CD in 1992 by Music Masters. Although, other than Bert and singer Helen Ward, Norvo's sidemen are quite obscure, he had a very interesting band ...

Ultimate Art Tatum (1999) more music like this

by Art Tatum

Verve's Ultimate Art Tatum may not live up to its billing, but the budget-priced collection is nevertheless a terrific introductory sampler. Hank Jones selected the 16 tracks on the compilation and he also wrote the liner notes. He did an excellent job balancing acknowledged classics with choices that illustrate Tatum's range. Some listeners will ...

Concepts (1992) more music like this

More of an investment than a conventional box set, Concepts is a 16-disc collection of Frank Sinatra's Capitol concept albums. Housed in a wooden box, the set contains every one of his original studio albums for the label, as well as the instrumental Frank Sinatra Conducts Tone Poems of Color, which was previously unavailable on compact disc. ...

With Billie in Mind (1972) more music like this

by Teddy Wilson

The concept seemed so logical that it was surprising that no one else had thought of it earlier. Producer Hank O'Neal suggested to the veteran swing pianist Teddy Wilson that he record a set of Billie Holiday tunes since "Lady Day" had cut many of her greatest sides with Wilson in the 1930s. This solo CD, which was originally a 14-song LP, has ...

Although listed under Stan Getz's name, The Peacocks is really a showcase for pianist Jimmy Rowles, an underrated stylist beloved by singers and musicians alike. Rowles is heard in exquisite duets with Getz, solo, in a quartet with Getz, bassist Buster Williams and drummer Elvin Jones, and on "The Chess Players" during which the quartet is joined ...
