Beauty and the Beat!

Beauty and the Beat! (1959) more music like this

by Peggy Lee/George Shearing

Upon its first release Beauty and the Beat! was billed as a live recording from a Miami convention of disc jockeys. Though Peggy Lee and George Shearing did in fact perform there (and attempts were made to record them for later release), the songs heard on the subsequent LP were recorded in the studio and overdubbed with rather obvious canned ...

The Complete Riverside Recordings

The Complete Riverside Recordings (1959) more music like this

by Wes Montgomery

Wes Montgomery recorded exclusively for the Riverside label during the four years covered by this massive 12-CD box set and, although his later albums for Verve and particularly the pop/jazz A&M dates sold many more copies, it is from his Riverside dates that his legacy was primarily formed. Virtually unknown at the time of his debut on Riverside, ...

The Essential Jo Jones

The Essential Jo Jones (1955) more music like this

by Jo Jones

Jo Jones, one of the most influential drummers of the swing era, did not lead that many recording sessions of his own during his career. Producer John Hammond gave him his first two dates when he was working for Vanguard and, with the exception of a second take of "Shoe Shine Boy," all of the music from the two LPs is on this single-CD reissue. ...

The Great American Songbook

The Great American Songbook (1972) more music like this

by Carmen McRae

On this popular two-LP set, singer Carmen McRae interprets songs by Duke Ellington, Cole Porter, Michel Legrand, Warren & Dubin, Henry Mancini, and Jimmy Van Heusen, among others, but it is her rendition of a humorous Jimmy Rowles novelty ("The Ballad of Thelonious Monk") that is best remembered. Joined by pianist Rowles, guitarist Joe Pass, ...

Yesterday's Love Songs/Today's Blues (1963) more music like this

by Nancy Wilson

Originally released in December of 1963, Yesterday's Love Songs/Today's Blues was the eighth in a long series of albums Nancy Wilson was to make for Capitol Records over a period of 20 years. During that time, she became one of the label's most artistically and commercially successful artists. The album was also made during the time when major ...

The Poll Winners

The Poll Winners (1957) more music like this

by Barney Kessel/Shelly Manne/Ray Brown

If the picture of three grown men hanging onto giant, colored swirl sticks looks a bit odd, or if the title The Poll Winners seems a bit conceited, the music, nonetheless -- recorded in 1957 -- still sounds great in 2002. Besides, guitarist Barney Kessel, bassist Ray Brown, and drummer Shelly Manne really did win polls in Down Beat, Playboy, and ...

The Stockholm Concert, 1966 (1966) more music like this

by Ella Fitzgerald with Duke Ellington

After an auspicious beginning with the Chick Webb band and long solo run featuring a celebrated string of songbook albums on Verve (Cole Porter, George Gershwin, Rodgers & Hart, etc.), Ella Fitzgerald maintained her high profile from the mid-'60s onward, mostly by touring the world and -- to a lesser extent -- recording a series of enjoyable dates ...

In a Sentimental Mood: Mathis Sings Ellington

In a Sentimental Mood: Mathis Sings Ellington (1990) more music like this

by Johnny Mathis

When Johnny Mathis got around to recording an album dedicated to Duke Ellington, he had been in the upper echelon of pop vocalists for more than 30 years. While his voice is a little lower than when he started out, he has lost none of that special taste and phrasing which made his records consistently favored by a wide segment of the listening ...

Jazz Party (1959) more music like this

by Duke Ellington

A most unusual Duke Ellington record, two selections feature nine symphonic percussionists on tympani, vibes, marimbas and xylophones. Dizzy Gillespie makes a historic appearance with Ellington's orchestra on "U.M.M.G." (a meeting that should have been repeated often but sadly never was), Jimmy Rushing (Count Basie's former vocalist) sings "Hello ...

Ken Burns Jazz (2000) more music like this

by Duke Ellington

In conjunction with the release of Ken Burns' ten-part, 19-hour epic PBS documentary Jazz, Columbia issued 22 single-disc compilations devoted to jazz's most significant artists, as well as a five-disc historical summary. Since the individual compilations attempt to present balanced overviews of each artist's career, tracks from multiple labels ...

The This One's from the Heart (1999) more music like this

by James Darren

During a career that's stretched for more than 40 years, James Darren has touched many of the bases in the entertainment game. He started in the 1950s when he was a teenage idol of the big screen, and then moved on to appearances on any number of TV shows over the ensuing years. One of the more notable of these appearances was his portrayal of a ...

Trombone Master (1957) more music like this

by J.J. Johnson

Although released in the usually consistent Columbia Jazz Masterpieces series, this recording is a mere sampler of trombonist J.J. Johnson's 1957-60 recordings. The nine selections are drawn from four albums and, although there are some fine moments (most notably on "Misterioso," "Blue Trombone" and "What Is This Thing Called Love"). Scott Yanow ...

Eastwood After Hours: Live at Carnegie Hall (1997) more music like this

by Various Artists

At a Carnegie Hall concert, Clint Eastwood's love of jazz and use of it in many of his films was saluted. The Carnegie Hall Jazz Band, a string section, and many jazz all-stars participated. Since there was a lot of spontaneity in the performances, some things worked better than others. This two-CD set (which has inexcusably microscopic liner ...

Jazz Hoot/Woody's Winners (2001) more music like this

by Woody Herman

This two-fer CD from Collectables features a pair of out of print Woody Herman LPs: Jazz Hoot and Woody's Winners, both originally issued on Columbia in 1965. Highlights among the 18 tracks include "Satin Doll," "Watermelon Man," and "Sidewinder," which are pleasant, although not essential. Al Campbell, All Music Guide

My Huckleberry Friend (1996) more music like this

by Johnny Mercer

Recorded in London just two years before his death, My Huckleberry Friend includes nearly an hour and half of singer Johnny Mercer updating his own compositions. The American musical giant is accompanied by the Pete Moore Orchestra and the Harry Roche Constellation. Mercer's voice is solid throughout this 25-track record that marries his Tin Pan ...

Sophisticated Lady (2001) more music like this

by Ella Fitzgerald & Joe Pass

Ella Fitzgerald and Joe Pass made a number of studio recordings as a duo between 1973 and 1986 for Pablo, but this is their first concert CD to appear on the label. Composed of excerpts from a 1975 date in Hamburg and a 1983 appearance in Tokyo, it provides an interesting contrast as Fitzgerald's abilities declined during the eight-year gap due to ...

Old Friends (1991) more music like this

by Andre Previn with Mundell Lowe and Ray Brown

Andre Previn's "jazz comeback" has been a welcome event even though he clearly regards his jazz playing as an occasional affair. It is to Previn's great credit that when he plays improvised music he sounds like a fulltime jazz pianist. This trio outing with guitarist Mundell Lowe and bassist Ray Brown was his third jazz date of the period and ...

Nights of Ballads and Blues (1963) more music like this

by McCoy Tyner

As the title implies, this McCoy Tyner release is a low-key, after-hours affair. Far removed from the intensity of work with then-boss John Coltrane, Tyner stretches out on a fine mix of standards and bebop classics. The pianist, of course, always had his own fleet and rich way with ballads, in spite of the galvanizing marathon solos he became ...

On the Sunny Side of the Street (1963) more music like this

Vocalist Ella Fitzgerald and bandleader/pianist Count Basie came together on a July (15 & 16) 1963 date arranged by Quincy Jones. It was originally issued as Ella & Basie!. It was later reissued with slightly different cover art as On the Sunny Side of the Street. The music remained the same, a controlled, tough big band hiply backing the ...

Late Night at the Cafe Carlyle (1992) more music like this

After more than three decades, off and on, Bobby Short moved from Atlantic Records to the audiophile Telarc label, which wisely began the new association by tracking him to his lair, the Cafe Carlyle of the Carlyle Hotel on Manhattan's Upper East Side, where he had been entertaining patrons for a quarter-century. Captured over three nights in June ...

Golden Vibes/Silver Vibes (2001) more music like this

by Lionel Hampton

The combination of these Lionel Hampton albums -- Golden Vibes and Silver Vibes -- provide pleasant interpretations of pop standards. The familiar melodies of "Day by Day," "My Funny Valentine," and "What's New?" hold up exceptionally well. The original LPs were released on Columbia in 1958 and 1960, and had been out of print until Collectables ...

Paris Jazz Concert [Malaco] (1999) more music like this

by Oscar Peterson

This unusual anthology features excerpts from seven different concerts in Paris by Oscar Petrson between 1961 and 1969. The majority of the tracks feature the pianist with Ray Brown and Ed Thigpen; the music is consistently swinging and generally well recorded. Highlights include a blazing take of "Daahoud" and a foot-tapping "Six and Four." Roy ...
