Progressions: 100 Years of Jazz Guitar

Progressions: 100 Years of Jazz Guitar (2005) more music like this

by Various Artists

This expansive four-disc anthology essentially covers the recorded history of the guitar in the 20th century, beginning with the ragtime banjo that set the table for the role of the guitar in a jazz setting in the early 1900s, and then touching all the bases clear through to the post-postmodern possibilities of the instrument in the 21st century. ...

Feeling Good: The Very Best of Nina Simone

Feeling Good: The Very Best of Nina Simone (1994) more music like this

by Nina Simone

A fiery interpreter of the usually staid American songbook, Nina Simone took a song and made it her own -- whether it was Gershwin's "I Loves You, Porgy" or Billie Holiday's "Strange Fruit." This 1994 collection on Universal features selections from her Philips years of the mid-'60s, generally acknowledged as the pinnacle of her recording career, ...

Nina: The Essential Nina Simone

Nina: The Essential Nina Simone (2000) more music like this

by Nina Simone

While there's some good music on this 73-minute CD, it's a patchy quilt of songs from the 1950s to the 1980s, reaching as far back as late-'50s sessions from early in her career, and stretching through several subsequent decades, including two songs from a 1985 album and seven songs from her In Concert album thrown in along the way. That's not, ...

Like Love

Like Love (1960) more music like this

by André Previn

Like Love is a pleasant session that features pianist André Previn and a string section breezing through several standards that include "love" in the title. Previn keeps the proceedings from getting too sugary by utilizing his jazz chops, which especially benefit Hollander/Lerner's "Falling in Love Again," George and Ira Gershwin's "Love Is Here ...

As Time Goes By

As Time Goes By (1999) more music like this

by Bryan Ferry

Bryan Ferry invests considerable time and energy in cover albums (he should, considering that they compose a good portion of his solo catalog), treating them with as much care as a record of original material. He's always found ways to radically reinvent the songs he sings, so it's easy to expect that his collection of pop standards, As Time Goes ...

20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Nina Simone

20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Nina Simone (2007) more music like this

by Nina Simone

The Nina Simone entry in Universal Music's discount-priced best-of series 20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection draws nine tracks from Simone's popular Philips Records albums of the mid-'60s, plus two tracks from her live album Let It Be Me, released by Verve Records in 1987.

Nina Simone's Finest Hour

Nina Simone's Finest Hour (2000) more music like this

by Nina Simone

Verve's Finest Hour collection of Nina Simone's work compiles 60 minutes of career highlights, including "Wild Is the Wind," "I Put a Spell on You," "Four Women," "I Loves You, Porgy," and "My Baby Just Cares for Me." Though it's by no means a definitive compilation of Simone's music, it does provide a welcome overview of her Verve years. ...

The Definitive Collection

The Definitive Collection (2006) more music like this

by Nina Simone

"... [N]o one compilation could possibly tell the entire Simone story (since she recorded over 30 albums from 1959 to 1993)," admits David Nathan in his liner notes to Hip-O/Verve's hyperbolically titled Nina Simone best-of, The Definitive Collection. He might have added that another difficulty in assembling a Simone compilation is that she ...

On the Same Page

On the Same Page more music like this

by Stefanie Powers

The last time most listeners heard Stefanie Powers even go through the motions of singing was 40 years ago, when she appeared in some unfortunate musical sequences in tandem with Jerry Van Dyke in the comedy Western McLintock! Evidently she does have musical inclinations, which may suit her and her accompanist/arranger/collaborator, Page Cavanaugh ...

Ultimate Legends: Billie Holiday

Ultimate Legends: Billie Holiday (2003) more music like this

by Billie Holiday

With such a lengthy and deep repertoire, it's difficult to compile a great representative selection of tracks for someone like Billie Holiday, but this particular album does a pretty decent job. Famous songs like "Strange Fruit," "Billie's Blues," and "Night and Day" aren't included here, but "God Bless the Child," "I Cover the Waterfront," and ...

Introducing Verve Jazz Masters, Vol. 20 (1994) more music like this

by Various Artists

At least this pocket-sized, budget-priced trip through 22 years of jazz doesn't pretend to be a definitive primer on jazz. It is simply and purely a sampler from the first 19 issues of Verve's Jazz Masters series; in other words, a sampler of a sampler. There is some clever segueing; the opening track, Louis Armstrong's "Just One of Those Things" ...

Two Portraits of Chet Baker (2006) more music like this

by Fay Claassen

Dutch jazz vocalist Fay Claassen's tribute in honor of the late Chet Baker's 75th birthday is an impressive achievement. Gifted with a beautiful voice, she captures the nuances of the material selected. This two-CD set is divided into two sections. The first disc covers songs from the Gerry Mulligan Quartet that featured Baker, with Claassen ...

Talk of the Town (2003) more music like this

by Cheryl Bentyne

Cheryl Bentyne is justly celebrated for her work as the soprano voice in Manhattan Transfer, but her work outside of that ensemble is just as impressive, if sometimes less flashy. This solo album, in fact, is notable for its lack of pyrotechnical wizardry, and is all the stronger for it. Focusing almost exclusively on standards, Talk of the Town ...

From the Beginning (2002) more music like this

by Scott Hamilton

Whoever decided to name '50s-style, small combo jazz "mainstream" did a disservice to saxophonists like Scott Hamilton. The word sounds safe and soulless. And while Hamilton will never be mistaken for John Coltrane, he's no throwback to some fondly remembered (and forgotten) era. From the Beginning combines the oddly titled Scott Hamilton Is a ...

Love Songs, Vol. 2 (2003) more music like this

by Billie Holiday

Another Legacy title fashioned out of the recordings released in total on the exhaustive Lady Day: The Complete Billie Holiday on Columbia box set of her early career. No complaints here, as few can afford such abundant booty, and because the label sticks to tried and true themes. Although, you may prefer her previous swing record, and the bluesy ...

Reunion with Al (1993) more music like this

by Dan Barrett & Al Jenkins

Trombonist Al Jenkins, who recorded with Doc Evans in the late 1940s and Art Hodes in 1956, spent much of his career playing either in the Midwest or in Los Angeles and never achieved much fame. He was an early influence on Dan Barrett's style, so in 1993, the younger trombonist persuaded Jenkins to join him on his record date. As it turned out, ...

Trumpeter Warren Vache and pianist Janice Friedman are on hand for the first three tracks, including a delightfully brisk "Raincheck," a moving "A Time for Love," and ...
