Romantic Jazz
(1955)

by
Jackie Gleason
True to its title, Romantic Jazz is one of Jackie Gleason's jazzier efforts. His particular brand of mood music strikes a more brassy and swinging pose here, with occasional breaks for instrumental solos that, for the most part, seem tightly composed rather than improvised. Bobby Hackett's lyrical trumpet playing is often the draw on Gleason's ...

This newly appended collection encompasses most every record that these two men made together, augmented by the Bix & His Gang sessions and a handful of uncommon sides from both 1924 and 1934, which pre- and post-date Tram's involvement with Bix.

Herb Alpert's Ninth [Deluxe Edition]

by
Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass
The cover art of Herb Alpert's Ninth is hilarious -- a bust of grim old Beethoven wearing a Herb Alpert sweatshirt, a parody of the pop icon fad going around at the time and maybe a comment on the rock world's newfound pretensions in the wake of the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper. In any case, Herb Alpert's Ninth does introduce some highbrow pretensions of ...

While there are numerous collections of trumpeter/vocalist Chet Baker's work, none have attempted to cover his entire career. Using Baker's classic 1952 recording of "My Funny Valentine" and the version recorded a month before his death off The Last Great Concert as melancholy bookends, Shout Factory has put together a solid anthology of the ...

The three-CD box set Golden Greats offers, at a budget disc's price and with a budget disc's meager additions, a complex view of Nat King Cole's career. The set includes 76 tracks from his 25-year span as a pop icon, spread well throughout his various periods, and neglecting very few of his classics (among the hits on tap: "Unforgettable," "Orange ...

This 1997 CD reissue has a live Puma trio date from 1984, which was his first occasion to lead his own recording session since 1961. The music is quite enjoyable, featuring Puma with pianist Hod O'Brien and bassist Red Mitchell. The guitarist was still very much in prime ...

Bass man Leroy Vinnegar's Jazz's Great Walker captures some of Vinnegar's most cherished tracks. It's a solid mix of cool jazz and light tinges of swing. "You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To" shimmies with a crisp bass cut over piano grooves and xylophone drops, whereas "The Love Nest" swaggers with Vinnegar's signature heart-thumping musicianship. ...

Marty Grosz emerged in the 1970s (first with Soprano Summit and then with a variety of freewheeling groups) as a chordal acoustic guitarist in the tradition of Dick McDonough and Carl Kress, a Fats Waller-inspired vocalist and (at least in concert) a very funny personality. However, he actually began back in the 1950s, sounding quite mature on ...
