Jazz (1987) more music like this

by Tony Bennett

What a wonderful idea. This is a compilation album ranging across Tony Bennett's early career, from 1954 to 1967, highlighting some of his more adventurous sessions with jazz musicians, including Count Basie, Herbie Hancock, Herbie Mann, Art Blakey, Stan Getz, and others, and featuring jazz standards like "Green Dolphin Street," along with a ...

Progressions: 100 Years of Jazz Guitar

Progressions: 100 Years of Jazz Guitar (2005) more music like this

by Various Artists

This expansive four-disc anthology essentially covers the recorded history of the guitar in the 20th century, beginning with the ragtime banjo that set the table for the role of the guitar in a jazz setting in the early 1900s, and then touching all the bases clear through to the post-postmodern possibilities of the instrument in the 21st century. ...

First Session

First Session (1960) more music like this

by Grant Green

First Session is just that: the first material Grant Green recorded as a leader for Blue Note in 1960. While the results were certainly good, the label chose to shelf the recordings. Producer Alfred Lion may have had some misgivings about the results, but it is doubtful that Green's fans or jazz guitar fans will have any such qualms. Pianist ...

Songs for Ellen

Songs for Ellen (1992) more music like this

by Joe Pass

This posthumous CD is novel because it features Joe Pass exclusively on acoustic guitar, and it is obvious that he enjoyed every minute of these sessions. "The Shadow of Your Smile" is no longer easy listening fodder, as Pass turns it into a miniature master class in swing. "Star Eyes" is accented by the soft squeaks of Pass' fingers gently ...

Bird: The Complete Charlie Parker on Verve

Bird: The Complete Charlie Parker on Verve (1990) more music like this

by Charlie Parker

As a leader, Charlie Parker recorded for Savoy and Dial during 1945-1948 and then for Verve exclusively (at least in the studios) during 1949-1954. This remarkable ten-CD box set, which adds quite a bit of material to an earlier ten-LP set, contains all of these recordings plus Bird's earlier appearances with Jazz at the Philharmonic. The JATP ...

On a High Note: Best of the Concord Jazz Recordings

On a High Note: Best of the Concord Jazz Recordings (2007) more music like this

by Maynard Ferguson

Trumpeter Maynard Ferguson's move to Concord Records in the mid-'90s was a return to form for the iconic high-note jazz musician. Having scored his biggest success in the '70s with the jazz-funk of "The Theme from 'Rocky'," Ferguson had achieved a level of fame, money and legend few of his contemporaries would match. However, by the '80s the ...

Dedication

Dedication (1998) more music like this

by Eddie Gomez

Eddie Gomez is one of the top bass virtuosos on the current jazz scene; his trio CD with veteran drummer Jimmy Cobb and rising piano star Stefan Karlsson focuses primarily on tunes he played during his 11 plus years as a member of the Bill Evans Trio. The strutting take of "On Green Dolphin Street" is matched by the leader's elegant bowing on the ...

Sarah Vaughan is accompanied by her regular rhythm section of the early '80s (with pianist George Gaffney, bassist Andy Simpkins, and drummer Harold Jones), guitarist Freddie Green, and the Count Basie horn sections on this enjoyable date, which has been reissued on CD. The arrangements by Sammy Nestico and Allyn Ferguson unfortunately do not ...

by Chris Montez

Chris Montez Time After Time album was a quick follow-up to his The More I See You/Call Me LP in 1966, the singer's entry into the world of easy listening music. Here, Tommy LiPuma, Herb Alpert, and Marshall Leib all produce the 23-year-old singer, Alpert and LiPuma collaborating on the title track, a Top 40 remake of Frank Sinatra's 1947 Top 20 ...

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 ...

Solo (2004) more music like this

by Jimmy Bruno

On this superb CD, Jimmy Bruno picks up where Joe Pass left off in playing unaccompanied solo guitar. Without overdubbing or using a tapping technique, Bruno plays melody lines, harmonies and bass patterns, often simultaneously. His interpretations of nine standards and two originals are concise, melodic and purposeful, moving forward and ...

I Remember Russ (1958) more music like this

by Jerry Vale

For his debut LP (after a few years of cutting singles), Jerry Vale released I Remember Buddy, a tribute to singer Buddy Clark, in January 1958. The album got into the charts, which inspired Columbia Records and producer Mitch Miller to bring Vale back into the studio for a second tribute album, this time to singer Russ Columbo. The choice may ...

Brass Attitude (1998) more music like this

by Maynard Ferguson & Big Bop Nouveau

With one major exception, the tracks on Brass Attitude reflect the relatively traditional (dare we say restrained) big band sound of Maynard Ferguson's Big Bop Nouveau, whose most distinctive feature by far is -- surprise, surprise -- its leader. At 70, MF still has a lot left, able to blast away at those ultrasonic passages and dish out that ...

Love Songs (2004) more music like this

by Sarah Vaughan

Columbia's Sarah Vaughan entry in its Love Songs compilation series is a stellar collection of tracks recorded from 1949 to 1953 that rank among the best of her career. Included are such gorgeous ballads as "Come Rain or Come Shine," "East of the Sun (And West of the Moon)," and "It Might As Well Be Spring." Interestingly, vocalist Vaughan ...

Late Night Sax [Rebound] (1995) more music like this

by Various Artists

When people hear the term "smooth jazz," they usually think of the music heard on NAC stations. But the idea of jazz functioning as smooth, soft, romantic mood music isn't something new -- back in the swing era, Glenn Miller's "Moonlight Serenade" (1939) and Artie Shaw's 1940 recording of "Stardust" (just to give two examples) showed the world how ...

After a lucrative career playing commercial music, tenor-saxophonist Nino Tempo returned to the Stan Getz-inspired music that he loved most in his later years. This live set features him in a quintet with trumpeter Conte Candoli, pianist Mike Lang, bassist Brian Bromberg, and drummer Terri Lyne Carrington jamming on standards and blues. Candoli, ...

Mel Tormé recorded some of the finest work of his career during his long period for the Concord label, one gem after another. This single CD from 1998 matches Tormé on four selections with George Shearing (the two always brought out the best in each other), Rob McConnell's Boss Brass, Cleo Laine ("I Thought About You"), the Marty Paich Dek-tette ( ...

I Remember Charlie Parker (1979) more music like this

by Joe Pass

For this set of unaccompanied solos, guitarist Joe Pass decided to pay tribute to Charlie Parker, not by recording his compositions but by playing ten of the numbers that Bird had recorded with strings during 1949-1950. One really does not miss the strings, for Pass had earlier in the decade developed his technique to the point where he sounded ...

Meets Oscar Peterson (1986) more music like this

by Benny Carter with Oscar Peterson

Altoist Benny Carter had recorded with pianist Oscar Peterson back in the early '50s for Norman Granz's Verve label. More than 30 years, later he teamed up with Peterson again, this time for Granz's Pablo company. There was no sign of decline or disillusionment in either of the co-leaders' playing; in fact, if anything, they had improved with age. ...

Quintessence, Vol. 1 (1999) more music like this

by Stan Getz Quartet & Chet Baker

Tenor-saxophonist Stan Getz and trumpeter Chet Baker would have seemed to have been a very musically compatible pair but, because they did not care for each enough personally, they only worked together on three separate occasions. The last such time was for a 1983 European tour. This broadcast from Norway was issued for the first time on this 1998 ...

"Ornithology," "Ah-Leu-Cha," "Embraceable You," "Yardbird Suite," "Koko," "Billie's Bounce," and "Klact-Oveedseds-Tene" ...
