Red Door: Remember Zoot Sims

Red Door: Remember Zoot Sims (1998) more music like this

by Scott Hamilton & Bucky Pizzarelli

As of 1998, when this CD was released, Scott Hamilton had recorded over 30 albums as a leader for Concord. Although all are quite worthwhile, the swing tenor's consistency and unchanged style since the 1970s have resulted in a certain sameness and predictability to his recordings. This release, however, definitely stands apart from the crowd, for ...

Golden Vibes/Silver Vibes

Golden Vibes/Silver Vibes (2001) more music like this

by Lionel Hampton

The combination of these Lionel Hampton albums -- Golden Vibes and Silver Vibes -- provide pleasant interpretations of pop standards. The familiar melodies of "Day by Day," "My Funny Valentine," and "What's New?" hold up exceptionally well. The original LPs were released on Columbia in 1958 and 1960, and had been out of print until Collectables ...

The Unique Thelonious Monk

The Unique Thelonious Monk (1956) more music like this

by Thelonious Monk

The seven-song Unique Thelonious Monk (1956) platter was the pianist's second during his remarkable five-year tenure on Riverside. His debut for the label was the aptly titled Plays Duke Ellington (1955) and once again, on this disc, Monk's song selection did not feature any original compositions. Rather, the well-chosen standards included ...

Tenor Conclave (1956) more music like this

by Hank Mobley/Al Cohn/John Coltrane/Zoot Sims

These four sides should not be hard to locate, as the primary participants in this November 30, 1956, session have all issued them within their individual catalogs. However Tenor Conclave was first released as credited to the "leaderless" Prestige All-Stars -- consisting of tenor saxophonists John Coltrane, Hank Mobley, Al Cohn, and Zoot Sims. ...

Live at the Roosevelt Grill, Vol. 2

Live at the Roosevelt Grill, Vol. 2 (1970) more music like this

by Bobby Hackett

For a few months in 1970, cornetist Bobby Hackett led one of the finest working groups of his career, a quintet with co-leader Vic Dickenson on trombone, pianist Dave McKenna, bassist Jack Lesberg and drummer Cliff Leeman. Fortunately, the band's long stint at the Roosevelt Grill Hotel was extensively recorded by producer Hank O'Neal; some of it ...

Interplay

Interplay (2007) more music like this

by John Coltrane

When the Concord Music Group took ownership of the Fantasy catalog that included labels like Riverside, Prestige, Milestone, and New Jazz, there was great trepidation as to what they would actually do with that historically treasured store of some of the most important music in the jazz canon. One of the first things they did was to issue a box ...

Wigwammin' (1997) more music like this

by Red Norvo

Xylophonist and bandleader Red Norvo was nearing the end of his popular big-band period when these 23 tunes were recorded between May and September 1938. Most of the songs are sung either by the mellifluous Mildred Bailey or the somewhat sappy Terry Allen. Clarinet solos are by Hank D'Amico and the band's arrangements were written by saxophonist ...

Mai 1956 (2002) more music like this

by Lionel Hampton

During one of his many tours of Europe, Lionel Hampton assembled a group of all-stars for this 1956 studio session, adding a number of top European players to his regular group. The vibraphonist has the lion's share of solos, dominating the 11-plus-minute interpretation of "Love Is a Many Splendored Thing" and showing off a bit with his unique ...

Prize (2005) more music like this

by Jerry Goldsmith

While by no means a classic on par with so many Jerry Goldsmith scores to follow, 1963's The Prize nevertheless remains a fascinating and vital effort significant for introducing some of the themes and approaches explored to greater success later in the composer's career. A brassy and dynamic work clearly inspired by the jazzy James Bond scores of ...

Just You, Just Me (2005) more music like this

by Ranee Lee/Oliver Jones

Ranee Lee is considered one of Canada's top vocalists and Oliver Jones has long been one of that country's major pianists. Although they had known each other since the early '80s, Lee and Jones had only recorded one previous full-length album together before Just You, Just Me. This quartet outing has seven standards (including quartet and duo ...

An installment in Union Square's Soho Collection series, The Golden Years of Nat King Cole & His Trio is a triple-disc, 60-track collection of some of Cole's best work from the '30s and '40s.

This Collectables CD makes available a long out of print LP originally made for Viking by valve trombonist Bob Brookmeyer.

Just You Just Me, Live in 1959 (1959) more music like this

by Roy Eldridge and Coleman Hawkins

In the late '50s trumpeter Roy Eldridge and tenor-saxophonist Coleman Hawkins teamed up on a fairly regular basis. Since they always brought out the best in each other (their solos could be quite competitive and fiery), all of their joint recordings are recommended. Two LPs from their gig at Washington D.C.'s Bayou Club in 1959 were previously ...

Judy Garland made her most commercially successful recordings for Capitol Records between 1955 and 1964, and that is the period covered in this three-disc box set. (Garland earlier recorded for Decca, MGM, and Columbia, and later for ABC; this material was not available for inclusion.) At Capitol, the former star of musical films was treated as a ...

The 16 CDs in this compendium represent nearly everything that John Coltrane recorded for the Prestige label during a 32-month period between May 7, 1956, and December 26, 1958. What's missing are Coltrane's contributions to the mid-'50s Miles Davis band, which are on the equally exhaustive and highly recommended Davis Chronicle box set released ...

Buddy Tate Meets Abdullah Ibrahim: The Legendary Encounter (1996) more music like this

by Buddy Tate

Initially a meeting between swing tenor saxophonist Buddy Tate and post-bop pianist Abdullah Ibrahim (still widely known as Dollar Brand in 1977 when this CD was recorded), this seems like a possible misfire. Instead, it proves to be an inspiration, as each player taught the other new music and they successfully blended their disparate jazz ...
