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?," ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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
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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
