Saxophone Colossus

Saxophone Colossus (1956) more music like this

by Sonny Rollins

Sonny Rollins recorded many memorable sessions during 1954-1958, but Saxophone Colossus is arguably his finest all-around set. Joined by pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist Doug Watkins, and drummer Max Roach, Rollins debuts and performs the definitive version of "St. Thomas," tears into the chord changes of "Mack the Knife" (here called "Moritat"), ...

Alone Together

Alone Together (1972) more music like this

by Jim Hall With the Ron Carter Duo

Long considered a classic and a revelation to listeners who had taken guitarist Jim Hall for granted, this set of duets with bassist Ron Carter (reissued on CD) has near-telepathic communication between the two musicians and quiet music full of inner tension and fire. Hall and Carter brought in an original apiece and also collaborated on six ...

The Common Ground

The Common Ground (1960) more music like this

by Herbie Mann Afro-Jazz Sextet + Four Trumpets

Herbie Mann is a capable jazz flutist, but his music has mostly been known in the popular sense. This means that while he could've continued his bop career after the 1950s, he worked toward offering a hybrid instead, a form of pop-jazz that could be easily accepted by middle America. On the surface, The Common Ground (originally released in 1960; ...

Chromatic Palette (1981) more music like this

by Tal Farlow

This album is most notable for the interplay between veteran guitarist Tal Farlow and pianist Tommy Flanagan. With bassist Gary Mazzaroppi completing the trio, the musicians perform Tal's "Blue Art, Too" (based on a blues), plus seven superior standards, including "Nuages," "If I Were a Bell" and "St. Thomas." In general, the music is on the ...

Milestone Profiles [Milestone]

Milestone Profiles [Milestone] (2006) more music like this

by McCoy Tyner

McCoy Tyner's association with Milestone was extremely beneficial to his career, as he recorded 19 albums as a leader for the label, in addition to the Milestone "All Stars" quartet with Sonny Rollins during his eight-year tenure with the label. Condensing such a prolific output onto a single disc to profile his work for Milestone involved some ...

I'm in You

I'm in You (1977) more music like this

by Peter Frampton

It was almost inevitable that I'm in You would be thought of as a letdown no matter now good it was. Following up to one of the biggest selling albums of the decade, Peter Frampton faced a virtually impossible task, made even more difficult by the fact that in the two years since he'd cut any new material, he had evolved musically away from some ...

Telepathy

Telepathy (2001) more music like this

by Ron Carter

Here are two duet albums, both recorded live within two years of each other between a pair of giants: bassist Ron Carter and guitarist Jim Hall. Hall, along with his former bandmates Jimmy Giuffre and the late Paul Desmond, is the consummate melodic improviser, and Carter, despite his tenures with Rollins and Coltrane, is adept at moving from one ...

Spirit of the Moment: Live at the Village Vanguard (1995) more music like this

by Joshua Redman Quartet

This double CD gives one a definitive look at how the much-acclaimed tenor saxophonist Joshua Redman sounded in the mid-'90s. Joined by pianist Peter Martin, bassist Christopher Thomas, and drummer Brian Blade, Redman stretches from Gene Ammons (who is saluted on "Jig-a-Jug") to late period John Coltrane, showing off both his wide range and his ...

The Green Leaves of Summer (1964) more music like this

by Hampton Hawes

Pianist Hampton Hawes' first recording after serving five years in prison finds Hawes evolving a bit from a Bud Powell-influenced bop pianist to one familiar with more modern trends in jazz. Reissued on CD, this trio date finds Hawes interacting closely with bassist Monk Montgomery and drummer Steve Ellington (making his recording debut). Hawes ...

American Pie (1972) more music like this

by Groove Holmes

The soulful American Pie pairs Groove Holmes with electric pianist Larry Willis, suggesting a more nuanced and restrained interpretation of the organ/electric piano formula that energizes Holmes' Blue Note classic Comin' on Home. Ably supported by guitarist Gerald Hubbard, bassist Jerry Jemmott and percussionist Kwasi Jayourba, Holmes and Willis ...

A Rogue's Gallery of Songs for 12-String (1983) more music like this

by Gordon Bok

To call Gordon Bok the voice of the Maine coast would be kind of trite, and it would probably embarrass him. But as someone who has actually lived the seafaring life he sings about in songs like "Old Fat Boat" and "Woodworker's Litany," he delivers such material with an unusual authority, and the tunes he writes evoke with sometimes startling ...

Extending the good vibes created out of their first pairing on the live recording Incredible!, organists Joey Defrancesco and Jimmy Smith get down to business on Legacy.

Milestone Profiles [Milestone] (2006) more music like this

by Sonny Rollins

As part of the Milestone Profiles series, tenor saxophone legend Sonny Rollins is spotlighted with material recorded between 1972 and 2000. The compilation is especially interesting given that Rollins incorporates electric bass on the majority of these cuts, not to mention the occasional use of 12-string electric guitar and kalimba. Also appearing ...

This double album features vibraphonist Milt Jackson with some of his best musical friends (tenor-saxophonist Teddy Edwards, pianist Cedar Walton, bassist Ray Brown and drummer Billy Higgins) for a typically swinging set of standards.

I'm Coming Home (2002) more music like this

by St. Thomas

Norwegian singer/songwriter Thomas Hansen (aka St. Thomas) was a postman who quit his day job a while back, shortly after his brittle and haunting Confederate country-pop songs started climbing the pop charts in his native Oslo, Norway. That fact alone reveals something about the slightly off-kilter Hansen, and it certainly doesn't sound like ...

Incredible! (2000) more music like this

Incredible! documents a unique musical encounter, the first time that Jimmy Smith has recorded with another organist, the equally great Joey DeFrancesco. First DeFrancesco is heard with his usual trio (with guitarist Paul Bollenbeck and drummer Byron Landham), racing through heated versions of "The Champ," "When You're Smiling," and "Indiana" in ...

by The Mike Frost Project

Nothing Smooth About It is the debut recording of the Mike Frost Project for the Blujazz record label. While they can hardly be considered a "cover band," this label debut is a straight-ahead post-bop Hammond B-3 organ date that finds the Chicago-based group out to honor the traditions of jazz and its pioneers. The set opens with "Oleo," a classic ...

The Four of Us: Live at Steamers (2005) more music like this

by Mort Weiss Quartet

Clarinetist Mort Weiss has had an unusual career. He played in the 1950s and then put away his clarinet for 40 years while he ran a retail music business and raised a family. In 2001 he came out of retirement and, amazingly enough, his technique was still excellent. Since then, Weiss has recorded several CDs that show off his bop-oriented style ...
