by
Shirley Horn
Shirley Horn continues in a formula that has become very popular for her. De-emphasizing her piano, Horn sings one very slow ballad after another. The intimate music, which features her trio members, percussionist Alex Acuna and most prominently the keyboards and orchestrations of George Mesterhazy, has very little variety and should be listened ...

Sonny Rollins
In 1956 Sonny Rollins used the Clifford Brown-Max Roach Quintet (of which he was a member) as his sidemen for this Prestige set.

Girls! Girls! Girls! 25 All-Time Classics of the Girl Group Sound is a well-chosen selection; along with the huge girl group hits on offer here (like the Shirelles' "Mama Said," the Jaynetts' "Sally, Go 'Round the Roses," the Chiffons' "He's So Fine," and the Murmaids' "Popsicles and Icicles"), the producers of the disc cast their net over a wide ...

by
Sarah Partridge
It is quickly obvious (after hearing a chorus or two of this fine CD) that Sarah Partridge is a first-class jazz singer. It is not that she completely remakes the material, but she has lived the songs enough to make most of them sound as if they written for her. Partridge (based in New York) has a strong voice, is able to scat effectively and, ...

Let's Talk About Love

Joanie Sommers
At the time of the release of this little-known LP (singer Joanie Sommers' fifth for Warner Bros), she was being packaged as the "voice of youth." Backed by a big band arranged and conducted by Tommy Oliver, Sommers interprets a dozen songs having something to do with love, programmed so as to tell a story. Sommers' voice at this point in time was ...

It seems odd that Bill Henderson didn't make it big, particularly when one considers how few male jazz singers emerged during the 1960s. Complete Vee Jay Recordings, Vol. 2 [1993], the second of two CDs, continues the reissuing of all of his 1959-61 recordings for Vee Jay. Although there are a few lightweight tracks, most of the selections find ...

This is an odd LP. The first session is a conventional one with vibraphonist Milt Jackson, tenor-saxophonist Jimmy Heath, pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist Richard Davis and drummer Connie Kay performing Heath's recent "Gingerbread Boy," Duke Ellington's "I Got It Bad" and a pair of Jackson originals. The flip side substitutes two guitars for ...

by
Mike Vax
The goal of Trumpets is to re-create famous trumpet solos in an ensemble setting with a quartet of accomplished trumpeters (leader Mike Vax, Warren Gale, Steve Campos, and Bob Doll) who are equally at home on flugelhorn, accompanied by a potent rhythm section. But this CD is more than just a textbook expansion of the original recordings, as the ...

This two-disc, 58-track package isn't a set of Nashville blues songs but is instead a rollicking compilation of R&B, jump blues, funky country and gospel-tinged soul sides originally released on Red Wortham's independent Bullet, Sur-Speed and Delta imprints. None of these tracks was ever more than a regional hit, but that obscurity can't hide the ...

Four Gals Sing Hits combines the hits of four female vocalists who don't have enough chart items to merit their own greatest-hits collections. Many reissue producers would likely feel that, even in combination, these artists don't have enough major hits to merit this package, since only one track reached the Top Ten, and only four others attained ...

Rebecca Kilgore and pianist Dave Frishberg are a match made in jazz heaven. Kilgore's appealing, easygoing vocals capture the essence of every song, whether scatting through Mary Lou Williams' "In the Land of Oo-Blah-Dee" or the witty, seductive lyrics of "An Occasional Man."
