Siegel-Schwall Band
Is a three-CD set of the Siegel-Schwall Band -- including all four of their Vanguard albums (spanning 1966-1970) in their entirety, along with six previously unissued cuts -- too much to take at once? In a word, yes. If you're a blues-rock history nut, though -- and there must be some such listeners out there -- it is a handy collection that ...

Glenn Miller
It took RCA-BMG until 1993 to get this performance out on CD, but the wait was worth it. Apart from its brief 35 minutes (Miller was sharing a program with Benny Goodman, Fred Waring, and Paul Whiteman, the self-proclaimed "King of Jazz," and who also introduces him), this is a choice release, capturing Glenn Miller and his orchestra in the midst ...

Lower Register: Bobby Gordon Plays Joe Marsala

more music like this
by
Bobby Gordon
It makes sense that Bobby Gordon would want to record a tribute to Joe Marsala, who took him under his wing as a young man, taught him a bit about the clarinet, and opened a few doors for him. Although Marsala achieved fame in his heyday, his contributions have been somewhat overlooked, particularly as a composer. Gordon rectifies this oversight ...

by
Duke Robillard
While he makes his fame and fortune cutting blues-rock, guitarist Duke Robillard periodically issues albums of stylish, restrained, subtly swinging jazzy material. This date included guest appearances from swing-influenced contemporary instrumentalists, such as tenor saxophonist Scott Hamilton and guitarist Chris Flory, who teams with Robillard on ...

Walkin' with Mr. Lee

more music like this
by
Lee Allen
New Orleans' favorite tenor sax player had a modest hit with the title track, a bouncy instrumental tailor-made for his honkin' style. The resulting album issued on the Ember label and a stray 45 are collected up here, a loose batch of blues, rockers, smoky jazz ballads, and jumpers. All of these are assigned quaint malt-shop titles like "Teen ...

Los Angeles Jazz Choir
When one thinks of jazz vocal choirs, the image of college stage bands comes to mind. The L.A. Jazz Choir (directed by Gerald Eskelin and pianist Milcho Leviev) is an exception, a part-time affair featuring pros. On this CD, which has material recorded over a six-year period, there is a list of all 45 singers who participated, although the exact ...

The Andrews Sisters
This three-CD set is very attractive in some obvious ways -- listing for barely $11.00 and containing 75 songs, it's the most generously programmed Andrews Sisters compilation that one can buy, even outstripping the Readers' Digest collection from the '90s. That's more than three hours of music, and it's hard to complain about the programming, all ...

Various Artists
Seven long-forgotten classic blues singers are featured on this CD, which has their total output. Alice Leslie Carter is heard on 11 dated but often charming performances from 1921, in which she is backed by a combo led by pianist James P. Johnson, including the debut vocal recording of "Aunt Hagar's Children Blues." Josephine Carter fares OK on ...

Joe Marsala
All 21 of clarinetist Joe Marsala's early recordings as a leader are on this enjoyable CD. An excellent swing clarinetist who was flexible enough to play hot on Dixieland records, Marsala's six sessions reflect his versatile musical tastes. Among his more celebrated sidemen on these formerly rare selections are trumpeters Marty Marsala (his ...

Anna King
Anna King's only album is notable not so much for her vocals (though they're good) as the involvement of James Brown as producer; Brown (usually under pseudonyms) also wrote some of the material. King was a part of Brown's touring show at the time these tracks were recorded in 1963 and 1964, and unsurprisingly the sound is very similar to the kind ...

Center stage drummer Buddy Rich was given a rousing posthumous salute with the premiere release in the Limited Edition Proper Deluxe Series, a promising if pointedly finite project that was inaugurated in 2008. Rather than slim-lining, the producers of the Proper reissue label more or less opted for a return to their earlier hefty four-CD jewel ...

Because Jay Geils is best known as leader of the J. Geils Band, a rock group that had big-selling records in the 1970s and early '80s, listeners are often surprised to find out that Geils has a great love for Charlie Christian-style swing-to-bop guitar. The J. Geils Band were originally known as the J. Geils Blues Band before they had rock hits, ...

The locale in New York City where swing met bop, 52nd Street was littered with clubs that might have Art Tatum on one side and Charlie Parker on the other on any given night during the '40s. Charly celebrates the diversity with a hefty 44 tracks spread out over two discs. In addition to big band sides from Count Basie, Woody Herman, and Charlie ...

The second full-length album by this Norwegian folk/rock outfit finds them building on the fine EP T. Bell's Blues. They're arguably the premier band in the ever-growing roster of Pogues-influenced groups. Arvid Grov's voice, sense of melody, and sneering poetry is on par with the iconoclastic Shane MacGowan. In fact, if MacGowan hadn't done it ...

It is one of recent history's most inevitable distortions that producer Denis Preston and his Lansdowne Studios setup are better remembered today (at least by rock fans) for setting Joe Meek on his mercurial path than for Preston's own achievements. Among jazz scholars, of course, Preston's legacy reigns supreme and the Lake label's ongoing ...
