Tenor Madness

Tenor Madness (1956) more music like this

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 ...

The Complete Prestige Recordings

The Complete Prestige Recordings (1949) more music like this

by Sonny Rollins

This seven-CD box set lives up to its title, reissuing in chronological order all of tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins' recordings for Prestige. Dating mostly from 1951-1956, these valuable performances find Rollins developing from a promising player to a potential giant; many of his best recordings would take place a year or two after this program ...

Trio-Quartet-Quintet

Trio-Quartet-Quintet (1956) more music like this

by Kenny Drew

Similar to other bop pianists like Tommy Flanagan, Wynton Kelly, and Red Garland, Kenny Drew came out of the Bud Powell mold to develop a distinct sound. Similar to another contemporary, Duke Jordan, Drew also cut his stateside career short by emigrating to Copenhagen, leaving many American jazz fans with only a taste of his talent. Fortunately, ...

The Believer

The Believer (1957) more music like this

by John Coltrane

Reissued as an individual compact disc through the OJC imprint, The Believer is also available on CD as part of John Coltrane's huge Prestige box set, Fearless Leader. However, the original LP as included in the box set only contains half an hour of music, and is here supplemented by two bonus tracks of over seven minutes each, "Filidia" and "Paul ...

Back in Town

Back in Town (2004) more music like this

by Rob Schneiderman

An excellent modern mainstream pianist who is a bit taken for granted, Rob Schneiderman was actually one of the better jazz pianists of the 1990s. On Back in Town, he plays standards but often with subtle surprises. For example, the ballad "Darn That Dream" is taken up-tempo, Jobim's "A Felicidade" is stripped of its bossa nova rhythms, "Chega de ...

Off to the Races [RVG Edition]

Off to the Races [RVG Edition] (2006) more music like this

by Donald Byrd

From the crackling opening notes of "Lover Come Back to Me," it's clear that Off to the Races is one of Donald Byrd's most invigorating sessions of the late '50s. Working with a stellar supporting band -- Jackie McLean (alto sax), Wynton Kelly (piano), Pepper Adams (bari sax), Sam Jones (bass), Art Taylor (drums) -- Byrd turns in one of his ...

Presenting Red Mitchell

Presenting Red Mitchell (1957) more music like this

by Red Mitchell

Bassist Red Mitchell, who had led two fairly obscure sessions for Bethlehem in 1955, came up with a gem on his lone Contemporary set as a leader (which has been reissued as this CD). Based in Los Angeles at the time, Mitchell utilized pianist Lorraine Geller and two up-and-coming players: James Clay (who splits his time between tenor and flute) ...

Live at Yoshi's, Vol. 2

Live at Yoshi's, Vol. 2 (2005) more music like this

by Jessica Williams

Jessica Williams is in typically superb form throughout this live trio set. Her interpretations of Miles Davis' "Flamenco Sketches" (which is rarely ever revived) and Sonny Rollins' catchy "Paul's Pal" are cheerful and she sounds exuberant on a witty version of "Why Do I Love You." Other performances are more straightforward and, although ...

The Shorty Rogers Quintet (1962) more music like this

by Shorty Rogers

The first of four CD's taken from radio transcriptions used in the show "The Navy Swings" features trumpeter/flugelhornist Shorty Rogers playing with two versions of his quintets in 1962, just prior to him greatly de-emphasizing his playing in favor of full-time writing for the studios. The 13 selections generally clock in around three minutes so ...

This Is New (1957) more music like this

Pianist Kenny Drew teams up with other young hard bop players on this CD reissue. Trumpeter Donald Byrd, tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley (who is on the first three tracks), bassist Wilbur Ware, and drummer G.T. Hogan perform four standards (including "It's You or No One" and "Why Do I Love You?") and selections by Drew, Byrd, and Sonny Rollins ( ...

New Jazz 8228 (1957) more music like this

by Ray Draper Quintet Featuring John Coltrane

Ray Draper was only 17 when he led this date (all four of his sessions as a leader were made before he turned 20) and was brave (or foolhardy) enough to team up with tenor saxophonist John Coltrane (who was 14 years older and already a major name) in a quintet also including pianist Gil Coggins, bassist Spanky DeBrest, and drummer Larry Ritchie. ...

Jazz in Paris: Byrd in Paris (1958) more music like this

by Donald Byrd

Trumpeter Donald Byrd spent a few months in France during 1958. A Paris concert resulted in two LPs' worth of material which were reissued on this Polydor CD in 1988. Byrd's quintet at the time included Bobby Jaspar (on tenor and flute), pianist Walter Davis, Jr., bassist Doug Watkins and drummer Art Taylor. Byrd was just beginning to find his own ...

This Evidence CD, which reissues the music on a Theresa LP while adding two "new" selections, has four trio numbers featuring pianist John Hicks with two friends (bassist Walter Booker and drummer Idris Muhammad), an opportunity for vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson to sit in (on Sonny Rollins' "Paul's Pal"), a Hicks duet with flutist Elise Wood, and ...

Ain't Misbehavin' (1999) more music like this

by Jessica Williams

Like 1996's Gratitude, Ain't Misbehavin' is another satisfying solo piano album. This time the setting is live, at the Holywell Music Room in Oxford, a space that opened to the public in 1748. Many of Williams' best improvisational moments occur during the four standards on the program: "Alone Together," "Too Young to Go Steady," "Don't Blame Me," ...

Sessions, Live (1976) more music like this

by Andre Previn With Red Mitchell & Shelly Manne

This curious compilation is one of a series of LPs that was briefly available in the mid-'70s; as on most of these releases, there is generally little documentation except for the leaders' names and the dates that these live performances were recorded. Pianist Andre Previn is joined by bassist Red Mitchell and drummer Shelly Manne on the first ...
