Is Everybody Happy?

Is Everybody Happy? (1999) more music like this

by Ted Lewis

A native of Circleville, OH, Ted Lewis is said to have organized his first vaudeville band in 1910, recorded with Earl Fuller in 1917, and started making records for Columbia with his own jazz band in 1919. Historical motion pictures exist of Lewis prancing around wearing a ratty top hat, lustily hollering his famous slogan, "Is everybody happy?," ...

Tidal Wave

Tidal Wave (1931) more music like this

by Fletcher Henderson

Fletcher Henderson's five Decca sessions are reissued in full on this fine CD. The 1931 and 1934 big bands are showcased. While the former group (heard on eight numbers) features such soloists as trumpeters Bobby Stark and Rex Stewart, trombonist Benny Morton, and Coleman Hawkins on tenor, the later group showcases trumpeter Red Allen, trombonist ...

Cabaret Manana

Cabaret Manana (1995) more music like this

by Esquivel

Esquivel's output is pretty diverse, yet it's hard to rate one compilation against another. They're of such a similar qualitative standard that none can be singled out as definitive, or even recommended above the others. Cabaret Manana is as good as any a place to start (and no worse or better than the compilations on Bar/None). The 20 tracks are ...

On the Air 1937-1938 (1937) more music like this

by Benny Goodman

This two-CD set was originally issued as a deluxe multi-disc set in Columbia's Masterwork series and was intended as a companion piece to Goodman's best-selling Live at Carnegie Hall, a record so successful that it was parceled out by Columbia in as many piecemeal configurations and vinyl speed formats as is imaginable. Mainly pulled from Goodman ...

Pretty Wild/With Strings Attached

Pretty Wild/With Strings Attached (2000) more music like this

by Wild Bill Davison

The commercial success of Charlie Parker's Bird With Strings sessions of 1949-1950 inspired countless jazz musicians to follow his lead and record albums with string orchestras in the 1950s and 1960s. One of them was Wild Bill Davison, who was joined by lush string orchestras on two Columbia dates: 1956's Pretty Wild (which employs Percy Faith's ...

Radio Years 1940 (1999) more music like this

by Ella Fitzgerald

This CD from Denmark's Jazz Unlimited label spotlights NBC radio broadcasts of Ella Fitzgerald's performances at Savoy Ballroom in New York's Harlem section on January 22 and 25, 1940. At the time, a 22-year-old Fitzgerald was still leading the remnants of Chick Webb's orchestra, and she was still singing in a voice that was girlish and a bit ...

Rosie Solves the Swingin' Riddle! (1961) more music like this

by Rosemary Clooney

Although Rosemary Clooney worked with Nelson Riddle nearly every week for her '50s radio show, they were together for full LPs much less often -- only this record from 1961 and a 1963 follow-up titled Love. The pair made the most of their first collaboration, devising a program of 12 standards that combined Riddle's pugnacious yet intricate ...

Sonny Rollins and the Big Brass

Sonny Rollins and the Big Brass (1958) more music like this

by Sonny Rollins

Big Brass is an appropiate name for the large ensemble arranged and conducted by Ernie Wilkins that accompanies the huge sound of Sonny Rollins. The energy within the leader's gospel-flavored shout "Grand Street" is considerable, while a swinging but no less powerful version of George & Ira Gershwin's "Who Cares" features a choice solo by ...

Oscar and Benny

Oscar and Benny (1998) more music like this

by Oscar Peterson & Benny Green

As prolific as he was before his stroke in 1993, Oscar Peterson joins forces and fingers with his officially designated protégé Benny Green -- and you can hardly tell them apart most of the time. Telarc is of no help in this matter by failing to give listeners an idea of who-plays-where in the liner notes, nor is the stereo mix any aid to sorting ...

Swing & Other Things (1997) more music like this

by Allan Vache

Allan Vache, best known for his longtime association with Jim Cullum, is a fiery, chance-taking clarinetist whose main influence is Benny Goodman. The BG connection is felt even stronger than usual on this CD due to the instrumentation (the same as the first Benny Goodman Sextet), the 1940s-era standards, and the playing of the sidemen. Pianist ...

Dave McKenna Quartet Featuring Zoot Sims (1974) more music like this

by Dave McKenna Quartet

Prior to his longtime association with the Concord label, pianist Dave McKenna's four Chiaroscuro albums (of which this CD brings back the second) did a great deal to make the veteran mainstream pianist known to the general jazz public. This set features McKenna, bassist Major Holley and drummer Ray Mosca joined by the great swing tenor Zoot Sims, ...

Live at the Sticky Wicket (1986) more music like this

by Dick Wellstood

The Big Three of post-World War II stride piano were Ralph Sutton, Dick Hyman and the late Dick Wellstood, who passed away in 1987. This double CD from 1997, recorded just 8½ months before Wellstood's death, contains all of the music performed by the pianist during an informal club appearance and recorded privately with his permission; it was ...

Hits by Brits (2007) more music like this

by Harry Allen

A superior swing-based tenor-saxophonist influenced by Stan Getz and Scott Hamilton, Harry Allen has made an increasingly strong reputation during numerous recordings and countless live appearances. But even with his growing discography, Hits By Brits may very well be Allen's finest all-round recording at least to date. He absolutely burns on the ...

Play That Song: Live at the 1994 Floating Festival (1994) more music like this

by Terry Gibbs

The most unusual aspect to this Terry Gibbs quartet date (which was recorded live at the 1994 Floating Jazz Festival on board the S.S. Norway) is that seven of the nine selections are originals by the vibraphonist-leader. Of these, the most memorable are "Play That Song" (which has a catchy rhythm enthusiastically played by Terry's son Gerry on ...

Live at Dana Point 1957 (1957) more music like this

by Warne Marsh Quartet

Joe Albany, a talented but troubled bop pianist, made some recordings in the late '40s and then was rarely heard on records again until the 1970s. Until now, the one exception was a rehearsal session with tenor saxophonist Warne Marsh that came out as The Right Combination. The music on Live at Dana Point 1957, a two-CD set, was taped at the gig ...

This 1984 studio session finally appeared commercially on the Cymekob label in 1995, featuring violinist Stéphane Grappelli in a rare meeting with harmonica player Toots Thielemans; the rest of the group included guitarists Martin Taylor and Marc Fosset with bassist Brian Torff. Though producer Andy Kulberg claims in his notes that neither ...
