The Talented Mr. Ripley

The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) more music like this

by Original Soundtrack

Director/screenwriter Anthony Minghella is a meticulous craftsman, known for his vigorous attention to every element of a production. In the case of The Talented Mr. Ripley, his 1999 adaptation of a Patricia Highsmith potboiler, he lent particular focus to the film's music. In the novel, the gregarious American expatriate Dickie Greenleaf (played ...

Diane: Chet Baker and Paul Bley

Diane: Chet Baker and Paul Bley (1985) more music like this

by Chet Baker with Paul Bley

Chet Baker recorded at every opportunity during the last decade or so of his tragic life, with widely varying results due to his drug addiction. But this surprising duo session with pianist Paul Bley is one of his better efforts from this period, focusing primarily on standard ballads by top composers. Bley's playing in the mid-1980s usually was ...

Gypsy Swing

Gypsy Swing (2005) more music like this

by Ismael Reinhardt

Somewhere down the Reinhardt lineage Ismael was born. While certainly not known particularly well outside Europe, and even in Europe known mostly for being a descendant of the great Django Reinhardt, Ismael has some chops on the guitar and gets to show them off here. His real forte is in contemporary jazz, but for the sake of a tribute, this album ...

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 ...

Sonny Rollins Plus Four [RVG Remasters]

Sonny Rollins Plus Four [RVG Remasters] (2007) more music like this

by Sonny Rollins

In 1956 Sonny Rollins used the Clifford Brown-Max Roach Quintet (of which he was a member) as his sidemen for this Prestige set. The high points of this particularly strong hard bop set include "Valse Hot" (an early jazz waltz), a rapid rendition of "I Feel a Song Coming On" and Rollins' classic "Pent-Up House." Trumpeter Brown (heard on one of ...

Live at the North Sea Jazz Festival

Live at the North Sea Jazz Festival (1993) more music like this

by Rosenberg Trio

The Rosenberg Trio continues the tradition of the Gypsy swing of the Quintet of the Hot Club of France, though in a stripped-down format consisting of lead guitar (Stochelo Rosenberg), rhythm guitar (Nous'che Rosenberg), and bass (Nonnie Rosenberg). While the trio successfully delves into the 1930s repertoire of Stéphane Grappelli and Django ...

Goza Mi Timbal

Goza Mi Timbal (1989) more music like this

by Tito Puente

This Concord CD was Tito Puente's 99th as a leader and the music is particularly strong. Four jazz standards alternate with a quartet of Puente's originals and Chucho Valdes' "Cha Cha Cha," all of which are potentially good vehicles for jazz improvisations (although "Ode" and "Lambada" are dominated by group vocals). There are plenty of fine solos ...

Chet Baker in Milan

Chet Baker in Milan (1959) more music like this

by Chet Baker

During his extended "stay" in Europe circa the late '50s and early '60s, Chet Baker produced half a dozen albums for the Riverside Records subsidiary label Jazzland. On Chet Baker in Milan -- the first of his overseas sides -- Baker revisits the familiar stomping grounds of West Coast cool, even though he is the only American in the band. The ...

Live at the Cafe Carlyle

Live at the Cafe Carlyle (1984) more music like this

by George Shearing with Don Thompson

Don Thompson spent several years as George Shearing's bassist and this album is his best recording with the veteran pianist. Thompson, who plays second piano on Herbie Hancock's "Tell Me a Bedtime Story," jams with strong intuition and consistent swing, easily picking up on Shearing's musical directions during such songs as "Pent up House," "The ...

Live From Austin (1995) more music like this

by Will Taylor & The Jazz Menagerie

Will Taylor and his Jazz Menagerie are an unusual group. Taylor plays viola, rarely heard as a lead instrument (especially in jazz). Taylor proves that it has possibilities, especially during his crisp unison lines with the soprano sax on "Deus Xango" and an adventurous solo on "Cherokee." The jazz standards covered include a soulful version of ...

Laid Back (1998) more music like this

by Kenny Burrell

This Kenny Burrell compilation from 32 Jazz collects some of the guitarist's best work recorded for the Muse label between 1978 and 1983. Perhaps not the Detroit native's most essential period, but a sorely overlooked one that reveals some great moments. Featuring variously Larry Gales, Reggie Johnson, and Rufus Reid on bass with Sherman Ferguson ...

Milestones (1990) more music like this

by Claudio Roditi

There aren't many trumpeters around more animated and energetic than Claudio Roditi. His searing solos and equally fiery accompaniment have been featured in several bands, and he takes center stage on Milestones. Besides his solos, the disc has some first-rate songs and an even better group. Alto saxophonist Paquito D'Rivera, pianist Kenny Barron, ...

Urban Dreams (1981) more music like this

by Pepper Adams

It is a real pity that this session from baritonist Pepper Adams was for a now-defunct label for it is one of his best recordings. Adams, accompanied quite tastefully by pianist Jimmy Rowles, bassist George Mraz and drummer Billy Hart, sticks primarily to straightahead material and he often roars through such songs as "Dexter Rides Again," "Three ...

Relaxin' in Milwaukee (1999) more music like this

by Fred Horn

Milwaukee native Fred Horn is an unabashed admirer of bop, a preference reflected in most of what one hears on this album. A mature player, his clear improvised solos never completely discard the melody line as on "Scrapple From Apple," a performance that recalls those fine bop groups from the late '50s and early '60s. For his own compositions, ...

Django (2003) more music like this

by Stéphane Grappelli

At the time of this 1962 session, Stéphane Grappelli had not yet recaptured the fame that he achieved during his prewar partnership with Django Reinhardt, though he was hardly idle at the time. This meeting with guitarist Pierre Cavalli, bassist Guy Pedersen, and drummer Daniel Humair covers many tunes previously recorded by the Quintet of the ...

Live at Blues Alley: Second Set (2005) more music like this

by Hod O'Brien

Hod O'Brien's second volume from a 2004 gig at Blues Alley in Washington, D.C., is another evening of masterful piano, accompanied by two of the most in-demand accompanists, bassist Ray Drummond and drummer Kenny Washington. The program mixes well-known jazz compositions and standards played with imagination. The crowd is wowed immediately with ...

Walkin' with the Wazmo (2006) more music like this

by Jerry Vivino

Jerry Vivino is a name that may be new to jazz listeners who don't tune into The Conan O'Brien Show, but the veteran tenor saxophonist clearly has his wide-ranging act together. Opening with a robust take of Sonny Rollins' "Pent-Up House," which has a bit of a New Orleans rhythm incorporated into it, Vivino is equally comfortable with Louis Jordan ...

Captured live at Hollywood, CA's Crescendo (a legendary, long-gone Sunset Strip nightclub owned by record exec/producer/concert promoter Gene Norman), Machito and his orchestra ...

Smithsonian Collection of Classic Jazz, Vol. 4 (1991) more music like this

by Various Artists

Still an excellent place to start a jazz collection, the Smithsonian's five-volume Classic Jazz series covers the music from its New Orleans days and the swing era up through bebop, hard bop, free jazz, and the years beyond. The fourth installment takes on the '50s, with highlights from Miles Davis' Birth of the Cool session, Lennie Tristano and ...
