Never Make Your Move Too Soon

Ernestine Anderson
The title cut of this near-classic album became a sort of theme song for Ernestine Anderson, but it is not the only high point. The singer sounds in top form on such fine material as "As Long As I Live," a touching "Old Folks," "My Shining Hour," and "Poor Butterfly." With fine assistance from pianist Monty Alexander, bassist Ray Brown, and ...

In order to fully appreciate a John Pizzarelli listening experience, the following accoutrements are recommended: candles, rose petals, and a bit of bubbly. Because a night of romance is what's to be expected when one of the contemporary jazzman's discs is playing in your living room or boudoir. Pizzarelli's music is renowned for capturing all of ...

Buddy Clark
Linda is a 24-song collection covering some of Buddy Clark's best Columbia sides, not just all of the later hits (though "Linda," "Peg O' My Heart," "I'll Dance at Your Wedding," "How Are Things in Glocca Mora," and others are here), but all of this 1999 collection is representative, mostly of songs from 1947 and nearly all of it post-WWII. There ...

Ike Quebec
Thick-toned tenor Ike Quebec is in excellent form on this CD reissue of a 1961 Blue Note date. His ballad statements are quite warm, and he swings nicely on a variety of medium-tempo material. Unfortunately, organist Freddie Roach has a rather dated sound, which weakens this session just a bit; bassist Milt Hinton and drummer Al Harewood are ...

Despite the joint billing, Mary Ford is only a minor presence on this CD reissue of two original albums.

Gene Harris Quartet
Pianist Gene Harris' 1992 quartet (with guitarist Ron Eschete, bassist Luther Hughes, and drummer Harold Jones) explores ten wide-ranging selections on this CD. But despite the very different chord changes, they are able to infuse the music with so much soul that the results are consistently bluesy. Among the tunes that Harris and his group ...

Bing Crosby
The reason for the plethora of CD reissues of the recordings of vintage recordings artists like Bing Crosby since the 1990s is simple: International copyright lapses after 50 years, putting those artists' catalogs into the public domain, at least in Europe. Each year, more reissues come out on labels that don't have to pay for licensing, their ...

Scorsese did not employ a regular Hollywood composer to write a background score; ...

The European copyright law on recordings, which cuts off after only 50 years, is responsible for many shoddy compilations of the work of vintage artists, scratchy 78s from someone's collection transferred to disc and put out with little or no concern for quality. But it also allows for more respectable efforts, such as the series of four-CD box ...

Bing Crosby
In 1931, Bing Crosby's position in the music world was a lot like that of Charlie "Bird" Parker in the late '40s, the Beatles in the mid-'60s or Nirvana in 1992 and 1993; Crosby had recently caused a major stylistic upheaval, and the genie was clearly out of the bottle whether folks liked it or not. There were, in 1931, some naysayers who didn't ...
