by
Steve Tyrell
Although he's achieved most of his success as a producer and songwriter, Steve Tyrell's debut album A New Standard chooses not to showcase his skills at the latter, instead offering Tyrell's vocal versions of twelve standards (including three that appeared in the film Father of the Bride Part II). They're not really exceptional, but they are well ...

MCA Classics had released her celebrated previous LP, 1988's Disney Album, but that proved to be a one-off project.

Not to be confused with the CD reissue of the same name (Chiaroscuro 206) recorded in 1979, this reunion encounter by pianists Ralph Sutton and Jay McShann (in a quartet with bassist Milt Hinton and drummer Gus Johnson) is up to the same level of the original dates, with plenty of heated moments on songs such as "Old Fashioned Love," "Sweet ...

The stockpile of unreleased recordings by Dave Brubeck grew during the 1990s, as Telarc would plan CDs and then change its mind about the order in which to release various titles by the veteran pianist. So this two-CD set is by no means a compilation of leftover material, but some of his finest work during that decade. The first disc consists of ...

Louis Armstrong
Anyone assembling a "best-of" collection involving Louis Armstrong would have to be on one level quite relaxed, aware that just about any selection of cuts would represent the "best" of just about any other artist, few of whom are up to the level of Satchmo even when he was just coasting. It is no doubt that it was his great popularity, and not ...
