Stevie Wonder
When you're putting together a 21-song collection of a major artist who's had more than 40 Top 40 hits, inevitably there's going to be a lot of good stuff left out. Stevie Wonder's long and varied career (not over when this anthology appeared) really needs more than one disc to even adequately summarize the highlights. But this single-disc comp ...

Jane Monheit
At once crisply assertive and lovingly sensual, vocalist Jane Monheit is the jazz equivalent of the young and charming grade school teacher you secretly nurtured a crush on. A sophisticated bombshell of a performer with a voice that is, like her appearance, voluptuous and flawlessly pretty, Monheit has garnered well-earned comparisons to such ...

At the Close of a Century
(1999)
more music like this
by
Stevie Wonder
He's been called one of the most influential performers and songwriters of the century, but until 1999 Stevie Wonder didn't even have a box set to call his own. Such was the reissue campaign at Motown that, until very recently, some of the best pop music of the '60s sounded poorer in reissue form than when it was first played on AM radio. In 1996, ...

In Square Circle
(1985)

by
Stevie Wonder
Although it went platinum, nothing stands as better evidence of how cyclical the pop experience is than the response to In Square Circle. Wonder actually wrote some superb songs, and several, like "Overjoyed" and "I Love You Too Much," were superior to the hit single "Part-Time Lover." But that one zoomed to the top spot and became the album's ...

Victor Wooten
This is one of the most ambitious albums I have run across. The only instrument on it other than bass guitar is voice. Before you come to a sliding stop, give it a moment and listen to the beauty that comes forth from the speakers. "It won't hold my interest!" you say. "Horse feathers!" say I. This is an album from the heart of a thinking and ...

With Till Then, Danilo Perez pays tribute to popular composers he feels have made a difference in the world. Though the Panamanian pianist offers a few original compositions, the work of other composers -- well-known, consequential people -- is the main focus of this Tommy LiPuma-produced CD. Some of the more myopic people in the jazz world will ...

Diana Ross
Diana Ross' 1994 Christmas album, A Very Special Season, easily ranks among the diva's best of the '90s. Instead of opting for hip arrangements aimed at pleasing a younger, jaded audience, all the songs on this set are classically arranged with lush orchestrations, resulting in a truly timeless holiday album, not unlike what one would have ...

Jon Philip Alman
Los Angeles-based cabaret performer Jon Philip Alman has a dramatic, Broadway-style voice at times reminiscent of Mandy Patinkin's but thankfully lacking Patinkin's histrionic tendencies. The stark vocals-and-piano setting of When You Get Home is cabaret for purists, but Alman wisely steers largely clear of the canonical song choices in favor of ...

For decades, people in the jazz world have been debating what does and doesn't constitute a jazz singer. Some bop snobs will insist that you aren't a true jazz singer if you don't spend a lot of time scatting your way through Dizzy Gillespie or Clifford Brown songs at 500 miles an hour; more broad-minded listeners, however, realize that not every ...

The U.K. disc Ballad Collection contains 17 ballads, largely from Stevie Wonder's '70s peak, but also containing a fair amount of songs cut in the '80s, including such soundtrack-only oddities as "Kiss Lonely Good-Bye" (from Pinnochio) and "Stay Gold" (from The Outsiders). Wonder, of course, had a lot of hits with ballads, but this shouldn't be ...

Patches Stewart
Smooth jazz trumpeter Patches Stewart teams up with bassist/producer Marcus Miller on Blow. Sounding like a total blend of mid-'60s and early-'90s Miles Davis, Stewart deftly mixes modal trumpet lines and punchy muted asides with funky processed beats. Taken as a whole, the album brings to mind Davis' Doo-Bop more than Kind of Blue, and in that ...
