more music like this
by
Wild Bill Davis
Before Jimmy Smith became the dominant force of the jazz organ, Wild Bill Davis was a major influence. Davis emulated a swinging big band (specifically Count Basie's) in his playing, and his music was accessible, melodic, bluesy, and swinging. He recorded five albums for the Everest label during 1959-1961 and five selections apiece from each of ...

by
Wes Montgomery
Wes Montgomery accomplished something few jazz artists could, as he used the disparate elements of the orchestral string ensemble and small organ combo within a similar balladic approach. While one could contend these concepts may not be as effective as a more conventional configuartion, Montgomery made them work to a certain extent. What he could ...

by
Tony Scott
This CD may prove to be clarinetist Tony Scott's swan song, as it was released only a short time prior to his death in early 2007. The one-time bop specialist evolved into a hybrid of bop and the unique shrieking style of Pee Wee Russell by the time of this session, with his piercing sound being very distinctive in his unique arrangements of ...

Lee Konitz
This interesting match-up works out well. Barry Harris is the definitive bebop pianist, often sounding close to Bud Powell but also influenced by Thelonious Monk and Tadd Dameron. Lee Konitz was one of the very few altoists of the late '40s who did not sound like a close relative of Charlie Parker, instead developing his own cool tone and ...
