Charles Mingus Sextet with Eric Dolphy
In 2005, Blue Note raised the eyebrows (and expectations) of the jazz world by issuing the previously unreleased Thelonious Monk/John Coltrane Carnegie Hall concert from November of 1957 that literally replaces the few other recordings of the group both sonically and musically. In 2007, courtesy of Charles Mingus' widow Sue, with the help of ...

Fats Waller
During his 21-year recording career, Thomas "Fats" Waller waxed so many hundreds of songs that only a dedicated few have heard them all even once, let alone often enough to understand the true nature of his legacy. While longtime collectors can attest to the awesome breadth and depth of Waller's massive discography, your average citizen needs and ...

The Essential Chet Atkins [Legacy]

by
Chet Atkins
Chet Atkins is more esteemed as a session musician and producer than as a solo artist, and critics have rightly noted that much of his immense catalog as a solo artist is unimpressive. It might thus be assumed that it would be difficult to pick a two-CD, 40-track career-spanning retrospective that would both represent much of his finest solo ...

BMR4
The second CD from BMR4 shows them to be a contemporary jazz ensemble influenced by their previous role models in a way that is clearly evident. Being from Chicago, they've listened to their share of blues, and soul-jazz ŕ la Ramsey Lewis. Modern New Orleans and New York City neo-boppers they enjoy also enter the mix. Guitarist Neal Alger is the ...

Steve Kuhn has been recording professionally for close to five decades, most of which time he's operated stealthily, rarely achieving the level of recognition he so richly deserves for contributing his immaculate pianistry to a range of jazz greats who have included John Coltrane, Stan Getz, Ornette Coleman, Art Farmer and others, or for leading ...

The success of this summit by two once lost but re-emerging bebop heroes proves that the love of jazz is strong enough to conquer all inner demons, no matter how long those demons hang around. Recorded in March, 2006 at Steamers Jazz Club in Fullerton, CA, this date would be a truly enjoyable straight-ahead excursion even without a knowledge of ...

Fats Waller
In the wake of its series of Fats Waller transcriptions, Naxos' next inspiration was a "Fats' Greatest Hits" program, a hour's worth of his most famous Victor and Bluebird sides, with one Columbia thrown in. At the very least, there is a good balance between his solo piano recordings, his hundreds of sides with his combo, and a pair of late cuts ...

If anyone out in CD land ever wondered what a Joe Sample solo piano album would sound like, here it is -- and it's a good bet that this is not what a Sample fan would expect. Rather than conform to the cerebral solo piano mainstream as exhaustively set forth in the "Maybeck" series, Sample's inspiration goes way, way back -- back to the teens and ...

Frank Potenza/Shelly Berg
Piano-guitar duets are a rare beast in a jazz setting and can quickly turn ugly if cooperation isn't at the forefront. Most memorable piano-guitar recording sessions involved the meeting of two masters, such as Bill Evans with Jim Hall and Oscar Peterson with Joe Pass. But guitarist Frank Potenza and pianist Shelly Berg not only know how to blend ...

Pianist Steven Mayer is either a very brave man or a very foolhardy man -- or both. Even superstar classical pianists like Vladimir Horowitz and Sergei Rachmaninoff were dumbstruck when they ventured into the depths of New York City to hear Art Tatum, the most astounding jazz pianist of the 20th century. Undaunted, Mayer -- who is one mean ...

This series on Acrobat is generally credible but occasionally stretched to the breaking point.

Louis Jordan is here, as are Tampa Red, Earl Hines, the King Cole Trio, and many of the WWII-era ...
