Lester Young - Teddy Wilson Quartet
Although it has been written much too often that Lester Young declined rapidly from the mid-'40s on, the truth is that when he was healthy, Young played at his very best during the '50s, adding an emotional intensity to his sound that had not been present during the more carefree days of the '30s. This classic session, a reunion with pianist Teddy ...

Jim Snidero
It's been said that in the 21st century, there is no such thing as an overexposed jazz musician -- that because jazz usually sells a fraction of what rock, R&B, rap, and country sell, it is impossible to be an overexposed jazz musician. There is some truth in that argument; even heavyweights like Jackie McLean and Sonny Rollins don't expect to ...

Among the Perry Como material reissued most often is his work during the late '40s, when Como ruled the Hit Parade with soporific but sincere balladry bearing the titles "Till the End of Time," "If," and "Prisoner of Love." It's a slightly earlier era than the good-time material he's usually lampooned for, and it qualified him as one of the best ...
