by
Sonny Rollins Quartet
At a time when he was a member of the legendary Clifford Brown/Max Roach sextet, Sonny Rollins was still the apple fallen not too far from the tree of Miles Davis. Tenor Madness was the recording that, once and for all, established Newk as one of the premier tenor saxophonists, an accolade that in retrospect, has continued through six full decades ...

Director Martin Scorsese is known for the care he takes in choosing the music for his movies (indeed, he is known for the care he takes in every detail of his movies), and his 1980 film Raging Bull, a screen biography of the boxer Jake LaMotta, was no exception. Scorsese did not employ a regular Hollywood composer to write a background score; ...

Barney Kessel
Playing complex bop changes at a fast tempo was never a problem for Barney Kessel; few bop experts would disagree that his chops were impeccable, and it was a sad day for jazz when, in 1992, a major stroke forced him to retire from music. But when Kessel was still active, he was among bop's finest guitarists -- and not just because of his ability ...

He also led a modestly popular dance orchestra that featured warm and personable vocalist Bea Wain. Prior to the time period represented ...

by
Glenn Miller & His Orchestra
A very odd budget package, as it contains no big hits. But it's still all classic Glenn Miller, with tracks like "Running Wild" sitting alongside oddball covers like "And the Angels Sing" and "Circiribin," and smoothies like "My Reverie" and "Blue Evening." There's no rhyme or reason to this set, but it's a nice budget collection of big-band tunes ...

There were two groups of Larks with hit records, almost a decade and one whole coast apart. This collection concerns itself with the original East Coast Larks who recorded for Apollo and Lloyds in the 1950s, rather than the L.A. group that had a hit with "The Jerk." The Apollo Larks were a tight, strong singing group who really could harmonize, as ...
