Bill Evans
Concord counters 2005's Bill Evans for Lovers on Verve with this ballad collection, Bill Evans Plays for Lovers, from the pianist's late 1950s and early 1960s Riverside catalog. While there isn't anything here especially for devoted fans, who more than likely have all of this material a couple of times over, it's a great introduction to Evans for ...

by
Stan Getz
While this set of ballads could easily pass for a contemporary smooth jazz collection, tenor saxophonist Stan Getz's impeccable phrasing, full of easy, fluid upward glides, always with that gorgeous, honey-tinged, airy, and endlessly romantic horn tone, makes it something else again. With selections ranging from the early '50s through his twilight ...

Dexter Gordon
While it's unquestionably true that saxophonist Dexter Gordon is best known for his Blue Note sides made between 1960 and 1965, it is on his Prestige recordings, the vast majority of which were taped between 1969 and 1973, where the full depth and breadth of his gift and contribution are documented. What's more, this box finally sets the ...

Lady Sings the Blues [Capitol]

by
Various Artists
No doubt influenced by the blockbuster commercial success of Norah Jones during 2002 (and her subsequent Grammy knockout in 2003), Capitol trawled through its considerable vaults to put together a two-disc collection of downbeat vocal jazz by females. Though it lacks an elegant booklet (with a Will Friedwald liner-note essay, perhaps?), everything ...

Gene Ammons with Dexter Gordon
Although Gene Ammons received first billing, his fellow tenor Dexter Gordon is an equal partner on this exciting live bebop set. Expanded from the original LP with a previously unissued ballad medley and a full-length 17-minute rendition of "Wee Dot," and this CD is highly recommended to fans of tenor battles and straight-ahead jazz. "Wee Dot" and ...

Our Blues: Concert on the Campus/Cal Tjader

more music like this
by
Cal Tjader
A two-for-one CD pairing of Tjader's 1957 studio album Cal Tjader with all but one song from his 1960 live LP Concert on the Campus doesn't seem like the most logical of matches. According to the back-sleeve blurb, the intent is to focus on Tjader's more straight-ahead jazz, rather than the Latin jazz for which he's probably better known. This ...

Rosemary Clooney
The fact that one of the most successful pop singers of the '50s went on to become one of the most acclaimed jazz singers of the '80s and '90s shouldn't be marked up to the simple attrition of the WWII generation of jazz vocalists. Rosemary Clooney was comfortable (and skilled) singing in many different circumstances, and the fact that she could ...
