Greatest Hits [Columbia/Legacy]

by
Billie Holiday
There's something scandalous about the fact that this 13-song CD is, as of spring 2000, the only upgrade to date of Columbia Records' holdings on Billie Holiday. It's good as far as it goes, as part of Sony Music's 20-bit remastering of the highlights of its jazz catalog, but it makes one wonder how long listeners have to wait for the nine volumes ...

Ballads & Blues/Bags & Flutes

more music like this
by
Milt Jackson
The unassuming title of this compilation understates the fact that Milt Jackson is a master of ballad and blues forms, and an inspired collaborator when working flautists. True to form, the ever-consistent Jackson delivers the goods on this reissue of two of the vibraphonist's Atlantic releases -- one from 1956, the other from 1958. The small ...

McCoy Tyner Plays Ellington
(1964)

by
McCoy Tyner
This is an interesting project (reissued on CD) that works quite well. The already distinctive pianist McCoy Tyner utilized bassist Jimmy Garrison, drummer Elvin Jones and two Latin percussionists to interpret a full set of Duke Ellington songs (although "Caravan" was actually composed by Juan Tizol). For this CD the original seven tunes are ...

by
Ivie Anderson
Ivie Anderson was Duke Ellington's star female vocalist from 1935 to 1942. Unlike most other Anderson compilations, Jasmine's I Got It Good & That Ain't Bad combines her best Ellington sides with mature work from as late as 1946. The selection is uncommonly excellent, and focuses upon this singer's most dignified performances by avoiding some of ...

One Hundred Anniversaire
(2001)
more music like this
by
Louis Armstrong
At four discs, One Hundred Anniversaire is a very detailed collection of Louis Armstrong's music. Although it is by no means a complete collection, there is quite a lot of music here to digest, especially when taken into consideration that most of his biggest hits are not even on the album. What we get instead is a fairly solid collection of ...

Back in Business

more music like this
by
Eartha Kitt
Eartha Kitt's 1994 album, Back in Business, is a solid collection of jazzy, confident songs recorded with a live band. The title track declares her return, and the rest of the record fulfills the declaration, "Let the good times roll!" The good times are all of a slowed-down, torch song nature, however, unlike the up-tempo "Back in Business." ...

Live in Copenhagen

by
Papa Bue Jensen
Most of the music from two albums by Papa Bue Jensen's Viking Jazz Band are reissued on this single CD. The seven songs from the earlier session are most notable for the trumpet playing and singing of Theis Jensen, who does a close imitation on Louis Armstrong without falling into satire. His vocals on "Solitude" and "Bye and Bye" come mighty ...

For jazz fans, Ella Fitzgerald's Sings the Duke Ellington Song Book is by far the best in her Song Book series. With the cooperation of Ellington himself plus his orchestra, the set turned into one of the most fabulous jazz dates in history, with extended versions of numerous standards -- "Take the "A' Train," "Sophisticated Lady," "Don't Get ...

Some listeners might assume that The Best of the War Years is a collection of the most famous recordings that Fats Waller made for RCA Victor during World War II. Most of the material was, in fact, recorded during the Second World War, but not for RCA Victor. The Best of the War Years is actually a collection of V-disc recordings. In the '40s, V ...
