Bill Evans Plays for Lovers

Bill Evans Plays for Lovers (2006) more music like this

by 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 ...

Stan Getz Plays for Lovers

Stan Getz Plays for Lovers (2006) more music like this

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 ...

The Complete Prestige Recordings

The Complete Prestige Recordings (2004) more music like this

by 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 ...

Swinging with Strings

Swinging with Strings (2001) more music like this

by Skitch Henderson

Although he was the first bandleader on the original Tonight Show orchestra (when Steve Allen was its host) and founder of the New York Pops and also a frequent guest conductor, this is Skitch Henderson's first recording as a pianist in quite some time. Many of the lightly swinging arrangements feature a quartet of fiddlers (Darol Anger, Glenn ...

Torch Songs [Capitol]

Torch Songs [Capitol] (2004) more music like this

by Various Artists

Capitol holds in its vault many of the definitive torch songs in recorded history, and has issued them many times in many forms. Torch Songs, a two-disc standards collection released in 2004, unfortunately and rather surprisingly, doesn't include many of the best. It does, however, illustrate that the label has some distance to travel before ...

Lady Sings the Blues [Capitol]

Lady Sings the Blues [Capitol] (2003) more music like this

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 ...

Confirmation: The Best of the Verve Years

Confirmation: The Best of the Verve Years (1995) more music like this

by Charlie Parker

Anyone daunted by the expense of acquiring the 10-disc Bird: The Complete Charlie Parker on Verve may well have their prayers answered by this 2-CD distillation of the big box. It covers a wide stretch of material from Parker's career, going back to the first JATP concert in 1946 and stretching almost to the end of his Norman Granz period. One ...

Every Time I Think of You

Every Time I Think of You (2006) more music like this

by Alan Broadbent

Alan Broadbent has long been appreciated as a fine pianist and arranger, talents he combines on this studio effort with bassist Brian Bromberg and drummer Kendall Kay, along with background color by the Tokyo Strings. "Autumn Variations" is a superb workout of the chord changes to the standard "Autumn Leaves." The pianist's lyrical setting of the ...

Our Blues: Concert on the Campus/Cal Tjader (2002) 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 ...

Billy Crystal Presents: The Milt Gabler Story [CD/DVD] (2005) more music like this

by Original Soundtrack

At first glance, a CD of jazz tracks handpicked by comedian/actor Billy Crystal may seem an odd bird. However, given that Crystal's uncle, Commodore Records founder Milt Gabler, produced most of the cuts included here, it actually makes more sense than many similar-themed albums with tracks picked by musicians. Thanks to the family connection, ...

Tippin' (2007) more music like this

by Jim Snidero

Altoist Jim Snidero started his professional career in 1981 by playing for a year with organist Jack McDuff. After nearly a quarter-century of other musical experiences, he sat in with his friend, organist Mike LeDonne, in 2006 and enjoyed returning to the basic blues, ballads and standards. Their 2007 recording features Snidero playing more ...

Sweet and Slow (1983) more music like this

by Maria Muldaur

Instead of veering all over the musical map as she did on earlier albums, Muldaur picks a style, sticks to it and comes up with a winner. Heavy on jazz and blues standards by the likes of Duke Ellington, Andy Razaf and Sippie Wallace, including "Gee, Baby Ain't I Good to You" and the Billie Holiday hit "Lover Man," the album includes one modern ...

1947 Transcription Performances (1999) more music like this

by Claude Thornhill

These big-band sessions start to hint at bebop from the opener, "Robbins' Nest," but concentrate on American popular standards. You hear young arranger Gil Evans, Lee Konitz on alto sax/clarinet, and trumpeter Red Rodney, who would go on to define the bop stance. There's one Edvard Grieg composition, a lone Thornhill classic original ("Snowfall"), ...

Jukebox Hits 1935-1946 (2005) more music like this

Documenting some of the most famous songs from the beginning of Billie Holiday's career until its peak in the mid-'40s (when her drug habit began to dangerously control her life), Jukebox Hits 1935-1946 contains 22 tracks, including "God Bless the Child," "Strange Fruit," "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm," and "These Foolish Things" ("Fine and ...

Ladies Sing the Blues [Madacy 16 Tracks] (2000) more music like this

by Various Artists

Ladies Sing the Blues delivers just what the title promises: a collection of songs from some of the blues' most memorable female artists, including Big Maybelle's "Oh Lord, Look What You're Doing to Me," Pearl Bailey's "St. Louis Blues," and Della Reese's "Come Rain or Come Shine." Ella Fitzgerald's "Basin Street Blues," Dinah Washington's "Lover ...
