by Bill Charlap

Manhattan Jazz

Manhattan Jazz (1987) more music like this

by Dick Hyman with Ruby Braff

Every duet album by pianist Dick Hyman and cornetist Ruby Braff is magical. The pair of distinctive musicians always seem to react immediately to each other and they consistently play highly expressive versions of prebop standards. This outing has its memorable moments and is highlighted by "Jubilee," "You're Lucky to Me," "I'm Crazy 'Bout My Baby ...

Forty Years: The Artistry of Tony Bennett

Forty Years: The Artistry of Tony Bennett (2003) more music like this

by Tony Bennett

When this impressive box set was first released in 1991, it put the capstone upon Tony Bennett's remarkable return to prominence by looking back at a legacy that had been overshadowed by that of the colossus Sinatra. The collection methodically traces his career from his first Columbia record, "Boulevard of Broken Dreams," in 1950, through the hit ...

Down to Earth (1994) more music like this

by Gully Low

The Gully Low Jazz Band, a group that was active in the 1980s, was a swing/Dixieland band led by tuba player David Ostwald, who ironically was the least-known member of the ensemble.

Me, Myself & I (1988) more music like this

Soulmates (2002) more music like this

by Butch Miles/Howard Alden

Piano Portrait (2006) more music like this

by Bernd Lhotzky

What a nice surprise it is to see an American label such as Arbors venturing to Europe to record a German pianist like Bernd Lhotzky, who is well versed in stride and swing piano. Recorded in an acoustically stunning German concert hall on a superb instrument, Lhotzky delves into a mix of standards, stride piano gems, and a number of songs that ...

Some of Louis Armstrong's better Decca recordings from the 1936-1938 period are reissued on this CD.

Fast Eddie Erickson has become a favorite over the years at the annual Triangle Jazz Party in Kingsport, TN, due to his vaudeville gags and appreciation for novelty songs. Although his recordings as a leader are infrequent, this 1992 release is one of his best efforts, concentrating on a lot of early standards that have fallen out of favor. Joined ...

A superb vocalist even at the age of 13, Helen Humes rarely left that peak of performance, appearing in front of some of the most swinging jump tunes as well as the most affecting jazz ballads during her long career. Like Billie Holiday and Dinah Washington, Humes was an early resonator with the blues, which allowed her the intensity of feeling to ...
