The Essential Glenn Miller [Bluebird/Legacy]

by
Glenn Miller
This double-CD set should not be confused with the similarly named mid-'90s, 47-song compilation from BMG, which was good in its time but is outclassed by this entry in Sony Music's (now Sony BMG's) Essential series. Wisely ignoring a by-release-date-order approach, producer Barry Feldman has instead opted for a track lineup that, plain and simple ...

Johnny Hartman
Just where Johnny Hartman's name ends up in the pantheon of great jazzy pop singers is still left open to debate. But his talents and mastery of a lyric come to the fore on this marvelous two-CD set of tunes cherry-picked from his long, if not particularly prolific, career, leaving no doubt about his prodigious talents. Hartman went through label ...

more music like this
by
Bill Evans Trio
Moonbeams was the first recording Bill Evans made after the death of his musical right arm, bassist Scott LaFaro. Indeed, in LaFaro, Evans found a counterpart rather than a sideman, and the music they made together over four albums showed it. Bassist Chuck Israels from Cecil Taylor and Bud Powell's bands took his place in the band with Evans and ...

Most musicians would at least be considering the idea of retirement by the time they reach their mid-seventies, but most musicians aren't Sonny Rollins. After a five-year recording hiatus, Rollins returned from a Japanese tour and took his band into the studio to cut Sonny, Please. It's the first release on his own Doxy label, coming after a ...

Dexter Gordon
Most of these nine tunes were recorded between 1962 and 1965, with one cut, the final one, taken from a very late date in 1985 with John McLaughlin, Herbie Hancock, Billy Higgins, and Pierre Michelot. Over the course of his career in jazz, Dexter Gordon became one of its greatest balladeers. These tunes, all standards save one original, showcase ...

by
Dee Dee Bridgewater
Bridgewater's heartfelt tribute to Ella Fitzgerald is a resounding testament not only to the legendary jazz vocal icon, but also to Bridgewater's own faithful singing style, rich in Ella's tonal quality particularly on the high end. Her inflections are also quite natural, rather than self-effacing or forced. Some of the tracks vary in group size, ...

Johnny Mathis
The voice of Johnny Mathis is always distinctive and compelling but when blended with Nelson Riddle, whose magic made recordings by Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, and so many others even more special, the results are extraordinary. I'll Buy You a Star puts Mathis' voice in a beautiful setting, something Linda Ronstadt would emulate ...

Gene Harris With Scott Hamilton
This matchup by pianist Gene Harris and tenor saxophonist Scott Hamilton, in a quintet that also includes guitarist Herb Ellis, bassist Ray Brown, and drummer Harold Jones, is fun although it does not reach the excitement level one might expect. The ballads work best, while the stomps never really catch fire or explode. Harris and Hamilton always ...

After a long period of neglect, in 2001 RCA began doing right by Glenn Miller (via its rejuvenated jazz and swing arm Bluebird) with a four-disc set of 1943-44 performances by Glenn Miller & the Army Air Force Band. The 2002 compilation America's Bandleader was short and idiosyncratic but the following year, Platinum Glenn Miller offered the ...

Jack Lemmon
Collector's Choice Music has released Jack Lemmon's two Epic releases from the 1950s onto a single CD. By coincidence released the week after Lemmon's death, Twist of Lemmon/Some Like It Hot is more than a novelty album. The new CD is a must-own for fans of the late, great actor. Lemmon developed a love for music around the same time he began ...

This Dave McKenna solo piano session focuses on songs with a "star" theme to their titles, many of which are standards, though there are a few less familiar pieces included, too. The Brazilian pop song "Estrela, Estrela" serves as an effective if brief opening and closing theme to the CD. McKenna's lyrical side is frequently on display, especially ...

The nearly two hours of music on this double CD set covers Erroll Garner's complete released output for Savoy from January 1945 -- where he was part of the Slam Stewart Quartet -- through the summer of 1949.
