I'm with the Band

I'm with the Band (2005) more music like this

by Tierney Sutton

Since popping into our collective jazz consciousness as a semifinalist in the Thelonious Monk Jazz Vocal Competition in 1998 and signing with Telarc Jazz a few years later, the versatile stylist Sutton Tierney has carved a unique career around theme-centered recordings -- most notably with Unsung Heroes (featuring sung renditions of songs normally ...

That's All

That's All (1959) more music like this

by Bobby Darin

That's All, Bobby Darin's second LP, is his most important record. Darin's reputation as a teen idol was established in 1958 and 1959 with the Top Ten hits "Splish Splash," "Dream Lover," and "Queen of the Hop." Later in 1959, That's All broadened his appeal and secured his imortality. The LP begins with Darin's trademark song, Threepenny Opera's ...

At the Manne-Hole, Vol. 1 (1961) more music like this

by Shelly Manne

On the first of two albums, Shelly Manne & His Men are heard in prime form performing live at their home base, Shelly's Manne-Hole. Trumpeter Conte Candoli was in particularly strong form throughout the stint, showing self-restraint yet playing with power. Tenor saxophonist Richie Kamuca made for a complementary partner, while pianist Russ Freeman ...

I Remember

I Remember (1988) more music like this

by Dianne Reeves

When she wants to sing jazz, Dianne Reeves has always had the ability to reach the top of her field, but she has long seemed unable to make up her mind between jazz, R&B, world music, and pop. This Blue Note disc fortunately finds her mostly sticking to jazz and in consistently superb form. Reeves' treatments of such numbers as "Afro Blue" (which ...

Master Plan

Master Plan (1990) more music like this

by Dave Weckl

Dave Weckl's recording career as a leader was off to a decent start with Master Plan -- not a fantastic start, but a decent one. The drummer had made a name for himself playing with Chick Corea's fusion-oriented Elektric Band and his straight-ahead Akoustic Band, and his admirers greeted this CD with high expectations. But while Master Plan isn't ...

The Essential Artie Shaw

The Essential Artie Shaw (2005) more music like this

by Artie Shaw

The Essential Artie Shaw collects 38 tracks recorded between 1938 and 1953 for Bluebird. The compilation does an admiral job of showcasing Shaw's skills as bandleader, composer, showman, and musician. The focus of the disc is mainly instrumentals, both in small-group and orchestral settings, with a few tracks spotlighting the vocals of Helen ...

Alone Together

Alone Together (1972) more music like this

by Jim Hall With the Ron Carter Duo

Long considered a classic and a revelation to listeners who had taken guitarist Jim Hall for granted, this set of duets with bassist Ron Carter (reissued on CD) has near-telepathic communication between the two musicians and quiet music full of inner tension and fire. Hall and Carter brought in an original apiece and also collaborated on six ...

Matching Head & Feet

Matching Head & Feet (1975) more music like this

by Kevin Coyne

By the mid-'70s, Kevin Coyne was becoming very much a "cult" artist: one that would be appreciated by a small but significant segment of fans, who would buy new releases not so much because they wanted the particular record, but because they liked the particular artist. This is the kind of collection that is going to be sought mostly by that cult, ...

People Time

People Time (1991) more music like this

by Stan Getz with Kenny Barron

Stan Getz's final recording, a two-CD live set of duets with pianist Kenny Barron that was cut just three months before his death, finds the great tenor in surprisingly creative form despite an occasional shortness of breath. Getz's tone is as beautiful as ever and he does not spare himself on this often exquisite set. His version of Charlie Haden ...

That Face! (2006) more music like this

by Frank Sinatra, Jr.

The elephant in the room is a whole lot bigger than it's ever been on Frank Sinatra, Jr.'s first studio album in ten years. While he's never really attempted to shed his birthright, claiming to be happy to stand in the shadow of his legendary father, neither has Sinatra Jr. ever deliberately attempted to mimic his dad as closely as he does on this ...

The Complete Last Concert (1974) more music like this

by The Modern Jazz Quartet

At the time, this two-record set was viewed as the end of an era. Now it only represents the climax of phase one. It's an excellent set, though -- among their best live efforts. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide

This first volume focuses on some seminal entries from 1961 and 1962. In chronological order they are Africa/Brass, Live at the Village Vanguard, Coltrane, Duke ...

Unity (1965) more music like this

by Larry Young

On his sophomore date as a leader, jazz organist Larry Young began to display some of the angular drive that made him a natural for the jazz-rock explosion to come barely four years later. While about as far from the groove jazz of Jimmy Smith as you could get, Young hadn't made the complete leap into freeform jazz-rock either. Here he finds ...

The Mario Lanza Collection (1991) more music like this

by Mario Lanza

RCA's The Mario Lanza Collection is a terrific, three-disc set that contains 61 highlights from his time at the label. Many of his best-known songs are here, all in their familiar hit versions. While casual listeners may find the sheer bulk of this set somewhat intimidating, its comprehensiveness makes it ideal for the serious fan. Stephen ...

Live at the Village Vanguard: The Master Takes (1961) more music like this

by John Coltrane

John Coltrane's week at the Village Vanguard in 1961 resulted in a total of 22 recorded versions of nine songs, all of which have been released in the four-CD box The Complete 1961 Village Vanguard Recordings. This 1998 single CD has the five performances that the great saxophonist had agreed to have released during his lifetime: three numbers ...

Best of Friends (1979) more music like this

by Twennynine Featuring Lenny White

No one mistook Lenny White for a bop purist in the 1970s, when the drummer was famous for his work with Chick Corea's influential fusion outfit Return to Forever. Under Corea's leadership, White embraced a daring mixture of jazz, rock, and funk; Return to Forever wasn't straight-ahead bop, but its members did a lot of improvising. White's work ...

The Best of Art Pepper [Contemporary] (2004) more music like this

by Art Pepper

In an otherwise mostly self-destructive career, Art Pepper had the good fortune to hook up early on with Lester Koenig of Contemporary Records, who loyally stuck with his troubled alto sax star for over two decades. Then, after Koenig's death in 1977, Pepper caught on with Galaxy until his own passing five years later. Since Fantasy owns both ...

Live at the Village Vanguard (1961) more music like this

by John Coltrane

This set documents the four-night stand by John Coltrane (sax) and his quintet at the Village Vanguard in New York City, November 1 -- 5, 1961. Although these are not newly discovered tapes -- as the majority of the selections have turned up on no less than five separate releases -- their restoration is significant in assessing motifs in Coltrane ...

The Illinois Concert (1963) more music like this

by Eric Dolphy

The 1999 discovery of a previously unknown 1963 concert by Eric Dolphy makes it one of the finds of the decade. Taped for broadcast at the University of Illinois at Champaign, it was mentioned in an Eric Dolphy Internet chat room and eventually relayed to producer Michael Cuscuna. The sound is very good, except for overly prominent drums ...

Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 17: Bongoland (1997) more music like this

by Various Artists

The lounge songs of the '50s and '60s on this compilation are all dominated by the pulsating rhythms of the bongo drum. As with other instrument-specific CDs in the Ultra Lounge series (Saxophobia, Organs in Orbit), it can be too much. However, there is some great mood music here, perfect for creating a Latin-tinted party ambience. "Taboo," by Leo ...

For My Father (2005) more music like this

Grand jazz master pianist and octogenarian Hank Jones is accompanied here by bassist George Mraz and drummer Dennis Mackrel. The program is a collection of jazz and pop standards that Jones has undoubtedly played countless times before, and it matters not a whit. His sense of refinement, elegance, and swing saturates the proceedings. Whether it's ...

Say It with Music (A Touch of Latin) (1960) more music like this

by Ray Conniff

A sad day indeed for Schmendrick McFendrick, noted critic, when he screwed up in the "gagged and bound" test, mistaking Ray Conniff for Ennio Morricone. It wasn't as bad as Charles Mingus thinking Davey Schildkraut was Charlie Parker, but unlike Mingus, the critic had no music of his own to fall back on when the populace at large began ridiculing ...

Phil Bodner was a very busy musician during his long career, playing various reed instruments on all types of recording sessions, though he may be best recognized in the world of jazz for his contributions on clarinet. Relatively few releases have been under his name, so that is why this collection of unreleased tracks from the 1960s and '70s adds ...
