The Very Tall Band: Live at the Blue Note

The Very Tall Band: Live at the Blue Note (1999) more music like this

by Oscar Peterson & the Very Tall Band

Oscar Peterson's landmark meeting with Milt Jackson in the mid-'60s produced the very successful studio date Very Tall. They've played and recorded together on a number of occasions since then, joined by Ray Brown more often than not, but these live tracks recorded at the Blue Note are among their most satisfying sessions. Peterson continues his ...

The Very Best of the Journeymen

The Very Best of the Journeymen (1998) more music like this

by The Journeymen

This anthology compiles over two dozen sides from the traditional folk trio, the Journeymen. During their brief existence, Dick Weissman (banjo/vocals), Scott McKenzie (guitar/vocals), and future Mamas & the Papas founder, John Phillips (guitar/vocals), created a powerful blend of intricate vocals and ambitious instrumentation.

The Art Tatum Trio and Sidney Bechet

The Art Tatum Trio and Sidney Bechet (1995) more music like this

by The Art Tatum Trio & Sidney Bechet

This compilation features two unrelated studio sessions: a 1939 Afro-Cuban-flavored date by Sidney Bechet, as well as both piano solos and trio numbers by Art Tatum from 1944. The Tatum material was originally recorded for Asch, featuring six solos, including "Fine and Dandy" and "Danny Boy," though none of them are as overpowering as the pianist ...

Jam Session: Coast to Coast/Jammin' at Condon's (2003) more music like this

by Eddie Condon

A double-CD set comprising Eddie Condon's first two sessions for Columbia, Jam Session: Coast to Coast/Jammin' at Condon's finally makes these widely available. Both show Condon and his band at the time -- which included Edmund Hall, Wild Bill Davison, and Peanuts Hucko, among others -- at their fire-breathing best. No mention is made on the front ...

Up in Volly's Room

Up in Volly's Room (1972) more music like this

by Art Hodes

Clarinetist Volly DeFaut made a few notable recordings during the first half of the 1920s, including some with Jelly Roll Morton, and then largely dropped out of music. Fortunately, he never completely gave up playing, and his contributions to these 1972 sessions (reissued on CD) are one of the main reasons to acquire this release. While seven ...

Steppin' on the Blues

Steppin' on the Blues (2000) more music like this

by Tommy Ladnier

Early New Orleans/Chicago based cornest and trumpeter Tommy Ladnier is featured in a variety of settings as a leader and soloist on the 25 tracks of Steppin' on the Blues. Seen by some as the second Louis Armstrong, Ladnier not only took Armstrong's place in the King Oliver band but also played with most of the major blues and jazz artists of the ...

Tracks

Tracks (1970) more music like this

by Oscar Peterson

Oscar Peterson appeared on hundreds of recordings during his long career, though he made far too few solo albums. Tracks, recorded for MPS in 1970, is easily one of his finest efforts, with imaginative treatments of songs from several different decades. The stunning opener is "Give Me the Simple Life" (a piece written in the 1930s and revived as a ...

Body and Soul (1951) more music like this

by Erroll Garner

As was the case with Fats Waller, Erroll Garner's natural and advanced musical talent ingratiated him to jazz aficionados and experts alike. Garner took to the piano intuitively, never needing to take lessons because of his exceptional ear for music. Further breaking the mold, he transcended many of the jazz styles he came up with, including both ...

Three Dimensional (1991) more music like this

by Ray Brown Trio

Excellent trio date with Brown's formidable bass interaction with drummer Jeff Hamilton and pianist Gene Harris. Harris plays with his usual bluesy punch and delicate touch, while Hamilton fits like a glove with Brown. This is heady, solidly professional material. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide

Clarinet Blue (2000) more music like this

by Bobby Gordon

This is a typically delightful small-group mainstream swing date, featuring the Pee Wee Russell-inspired clarinetist Bobby Gordon, pianist Dave McKenna, bassist Frank Tate and drummer Joe Ascione. The group performs standards from the 1930s and '40s along with a few slightly earlier tunes. The only departures are "Sweet Adeline," the relatively ...

The Town Hall Concerts, Vol. 8 (1944) more music like this

by Eddie Condon

The eighth double CD in this essential series has four more half-hour shows that were billed as The Eddie Condon Town Hall Concerts. Condon, who was always more important as an instigator than as a guitarist, was a perfect host for the program, not only offering witty and sometimes sarcastic commentary but designing the shows so all of the all ...

George Wein's Newport All-Stars (1969) more music like this

by George Wein

Unlike the earlier editions of the Newport All-Stars, the 1969 group leaned much more heavily toward swing and elements of bop than to dixieland. In addition to pianist George Wein and cornetist Ruby Braff, the band heard on this Atlantic Lp includes vibraphonist Red Norvo, both Tal Farlow and Barney Kessel on guitars, bassist Larry Ridley and ...

Tracks [Anniversary Reissue] (1970) more music like this

by Oscar Peterson

Pianist Oscar Peterson is frequently astounding on this solo set. After nearly 20 years of mostly performing with trios, Peterson sounds quite liberated in this setting, throwing in some hot stride, unexpected changes in tempos and keys, and surprises whenever he thinks of them. "Give Me the Simple Life," "Honeysuckle Rose," and the ironically ...

The 11th and final Jazzology set that documents all of Eddie Condon's legendary Town Hall concerts of 1944-45 is a three-CD release. In addition to having five complete shows, there are a couple of briefer demo programs that were never aired before. Although not containing as many heights (or guest artists) as previous programs, there is plenty of ...

Seven & Seven (1992) more music like this

by George Van Eps & Howard Alden

This is the third of four studio dates featuring guitarists George Van Eps and Howard Alden together, except that they are both on seven-string instruments and without a rhythm section this time around. Alden's step up to the more versatile instrument enables him to use a bassline when needed while also enabling him to achieve chord voicings that ...

Live in Japan (1978) (1978) more music like this

by Count Basie Orchestra

By 1978 the Count Basie Orchestra no longer had trombonist Al Grey and tenor-saxophonist Jimmy Forrest as their stars, but this superb ensemble band was also no longer dependent on famous names. In fact, one does not miss their presence on this superior live performance which features such Basie standbys as "Freckle Face," "All of Me," "Shiny ...

Stuff Smith-Dizzy Gillespie-Oscar Peterson (1957) more music like this

by Stuff Smith/Dizzy Gillespie/Oscar Peterson

The great swing violinist Stuff Smith had not recorded as a leader since 1945 when producer Norman Granz got him to make three albums for Verve during a three-month period. Smith, who was still very much in his prime, recorded 11 selections (one previously unissued) with pianist Carl Perkins, either Red Callender or Curtis Counce on bass and Oscar ...

Barrel House Piano (1992) more music like this

by Meade Lux Lewis

Meade Lux Lewis was recorded in spurts during his musical career. This record features Lewis on a metallic-sounding honky tonk piano, accompanied by an unidentified guitarist and bassist. This gives the album a very dated sound that makes it less desirable than if he had recorded the same tracks on a normal piano. Boogie-woogie aficionados will ...

Art Tatum Live, Vol. 1 1934-1944 (2003) more music like this

by Art Tatum

Art Tatum was one of the most amazing musicians of all time. His technique was phenomenal and he could play lines with both hands so rapidly as to be miraculous. But much more than just a technician, Tatum improvised in a way that was quite futuristic, with his harmonies in the 1930s being 40 years ahead of their time. The Storyville label ...
