Kansas City [Original Soundtrack]

Kansas City [Original Soundtrack] (1995) more music like this

by Original Soundtrack

For Robert Altman's Kansas City film, since the story was centered in 1934 Kansas City, Altman wanted to have younger musicians depict top jazz artists of the era playing at one of the legendary jam sessions. He recruited many of today's top modernists and, although they used arrangements based on older recordings, they did not have to necessarily ...

Walk -- Don't Run: All Time Greatest Hits

Walk -- Don't Run: All Time Greatest Hits (1989) more music like this

by The Ventures

Do not mistake this greatest-hits compilation for a reissue of the Ventures' 1960 album of the same name; the title track is the only song that the two have in common. The bulk of the album is made up of later-period treacle like "Hawaii Five-O" or "Secret Agent Man," recordings made long after the Ventures, who were arguably one of the most ...

From This Moment On

From This Moment On (1978) more music like this

by Marian McPartland

This is a relaxed and tasteful trio outing by pianist Marian McPartland, bassist Brian Torff and drummer Jake Hanna that has been reissued on CD. No surprises occur on the pianist's "Ambiance" or the eight standards and the music never really commands one's attention but the performances are pleasing, harmonically sophisticated and lightly ...

Grant's First Stand

Grant's First Stand (1961) more music like this

by Grant Green

Grant Green's debut album, Grant's First Stand, still ranks as one of his greatest pure soul-jazz outings, a set of killer grooves laid down by a hard-swinging organ trio. For having such a small lineup -- just organist Baby Face Willette and drummer Ben Dixon -- the group cooks up quite a bit of power, really sinking its teeth into the storming ...

Back in New York

Back in New York (2005) more music like this

by Scott Hamilton

Journeyman tenor saxophonist Scott Hamilton keeps things light and swinging on Back in New York. Bringing to mind a mix of Dexter Gordon and Ben Webster, Hamilton has always displayed an unerring classicist aesthetic, and this album is no exception. Featuring the deft rhythm section of pianist Bill Charlap, bassist Peter Washington, and drummer ...

Jazz for Relaxation

Jazz for Relaxation (1956) more music like this

by Marty Paich

This V.S.O.P CD, a straight reissue of a Marty Paich date for Tampa, repeats the packaging faults of the original LP. Although it is a quintet date, the only personnel listed are the pianist/leader, bassist Joe Mondragon, and vibraphonist Larry Bunker; guitarist Howard Roberts and drummer Frank Capp go unacknowledged, but certainly not unheard. ...

Beyond the Blue Horizon

Beyond the Blue Horizon (2002) more music like this

by George Olsen

The band led by drummer George Olsen became a well-known name on-stage and in nightclubs around New York after Florenz Ziegfeld hired Olsen for his musical Kid Boots. In 1925, George Olsen & His Music made a national splash with the song "Who?," followed by a full decade of prominent sides recorded for Victor. After decades of digital exile, ASV ...

Songs for Lovers

Songs for Lovers (1997) more music like this

by Chet Baker

Although it is not obvious from the cover of this 1997 CD, all twelve selections from Chet Baker's Pacific Jazz period are currently available elsewhere (although a few are only on Mosaic limited-edition box sets). The material is almost random and is not programmed in chronological order. Baker takes vocals on five numbers, including three from a ...

Play the Hits

Play the Hits (1995) more music like this

by The Ventures

CEMA Special Markets' Play the Hits is different than the similarly titled Only the Hits in one key way -- it actually has the Ventures' hit singles! Of course, Play the Hits has a title that suggests it might be a collection of the Ventures playing other people's songs -- which is what Only the Hits was, and that had a title that suggested it was ...

Yeah! (1995) more music like this

by Pete Jolly

Pete Jolly and his sidemen (bassist Chuck Berghofer and drummer Nick Martinis) celebrated their 21st year as a regularly working trio with this fine V.S.O.P. CD. The musicians sound quite enthusiastic and creative within the boundaries of straight-ahead jazz, showing that they had not run out of ideas yet. Jolly alternates hot pieces with ballads, ...

Just Friends (1998) more music like this

by Marian McPartland

Some jazz fans casually dismiss duo piano performances as mere novelties that all too often result in train wrecks. With hundreds of Piano Jazz sessions and a few additional multiple piano releases to her credit, plus an amazing ability to complement the style of any musical partner, Marian McPartland should have long since destroyed this musical ...

Jeux de Quartes (2003) more music like this

by Bobby Jaspar

Belgian jazz artist Bobby Jaspar died far too young at age 37 in 1963, but fortunately made a handful of memorable dates as a leader. His last studio session under his name, previously reissued on Verve as Phenil Isopropil Amine, has been renamed Jeux de Quartes for its 2002 edition in the label's Jazz in Paris series. Jaspar sticks exclusively to ...

Piano Playhouse (1957) more music like this

by Various Artists

The recordings on this LP were originally supposed to be released by the Mode label in the late '50s but the company went defunct before it could come out. Released for the first time by V.S.O.P. in 1986, these 16 selections (all recorded the same day) feature five different pianists (Carl Perkins, Jimmy Rowles, Paul Smith, Gerald Wiggins and Lou ...

Piano Grand Master (2003) more music like this

by Art Tatum

Largely self-taught, Art Tatum became one of the most accomplished pianists of the 20th century, and his polyrhythmic inventiveness on the instrument has seldom -- if ever -- been equaled. British record label Proper has assembled a budget-priced, four-disc box set spanning Tatum's prime years, an impressive 90-plus tracks (and a detailed 44 page ...

Fine and Dandy (1996) more music like this

by Barbara Lea/Keith Ingham

Vocalist Barbara Lea thought that women songwriters (both composers and lyricists) have never gotten sufficient exposure for their overall contributions, so she decided to devote an entire CD to works by women songwriters. Accompanied by the talented pianist Keith Ingham, Lea explores songs from several decades, both familiar and obscure. Lea has ...

This is the 34th volume in the Classics Benny Goodman chronology. It combines four titles from the Capitol records session of October 27, 1949 (Goodman's last for that label) with seven tunes recorded for Columbia on October 10 and November 24, 1950 and ten previously hard-to-find selections from a broadcast that aired April 1, 1951.

by Ruby Braff & Red Norvo

This two-record set combines separate sets by Ruby Braff and Red Norvo from the same 1969 Paris studio session, though both musicians use the identical rhythm section of pianist George Wein, bassist Larry Ridley, drummer Don Lamond, and guitarist Barney Kessel, who has many nice solos in both sessions. Braff, playing cornet, pays tribute to Louis ...

It Was Me (1995) more music like this

by Donna Byrne

In 1995 Donna Byrne was described by Tony Bennett as one of the "best young jazz singers in the country." More often that not, these complements are little more than throw always done as a courtesy. But Byrne's latest album reveals she deserves that complement and more. Teamed with outstanding instrumentalists, they perform a program of a couple ...

Prince of Cool (2004) more music like this

Prince of Cool collects most of the sides the young trumpeter/vocalist Chet Baker recorded for the fledgling Pacific Jazz label from 1952 to 1957. These are the recordings that defined Baker's career and largely created the aura of Baker the jazz idol. On these three discs -- separated into "Chet Sings," "Chet Plays," and "Chet & Friends" -- we ...

The Trio (1977) more music like this

by The Trio

Over the years, Hank Jones' work has been impressively consistent. The veteran pianist can, at times, be predictable and short on surprises, but rarely does one encounter a Jones album that is flat-out disappointing. Like other albums that Jones provided in the late '70s, The Trio doesn't take a lot of chances, but is solid and pleasing. Produced ...
