Blues Bop & Ballads

Blues Bop & Ballads (1999) more music like this

by Scott Hamilton And Friends

Big-toned tenor saxophonist Scott Hamilton leads a swinging small group session that concentrates mostly on songs that didn't receive much attention in the 1990s. "Answer Me (My Love)" is a potent ballad feature for the leader that reveals the influence of Coleman Hawkins and Ben Webster, while Hamilton also has fun with lively riff tunes like his ...

Ain't But a Few of Us Left

Ain't But a Few of Us Left (1981) more music like this

by Milt Jackson

Despite the pessimistic title, all of the members of this particular quartet (vibraphonist Milt Jackson, pianist Oscar Peterson, bassist Ray Brown and drummer Grady Tate) were still active into the mid-'90s. The music is unsurprising but still quite enjoyable and virtuosic as Bags and Co. perform blues, standards and ballads with their usual swing ...

Appassionato

Appassionato (1990) more music like this

by Joe Pass

Guitarist Joe Pass reunited with the same musicians he had used on his classic 1963 album For Django for this relaxed exploration of a dozen jazz standards: rhythm guitarist John Pisano, bassist Jim Hughart and drummer Colin Bailey. Alternating romps with ballads, Pass is in typically fine form throughout with "Relaxin' at Camarillo," "Red Door" ...

Tribute to My Friends

Tribute to My Friends (1983) more music like this

by Oscar Peterson

Pianist Oscar Peterson recorded so many albums for Pablo during 1972-83 that it must have been rather difficult for him to come up with fresh material and ideas for records. However this CD, which features songs associated with nine of his associates (ranging from Louis Armstrong and Billie Holiday to Dizzy Gillespie, Ella Fitzgerald and Lester ...

Dimensions: A Compendium of the Pablo Years

Dimensions: A Compendium of the Pablo Years (2003) more music like this

by Oscar Peterson

Just in case anybody has forgotten or needs to catch up with their very first dose, Oscar Peterson is one of the greatest pianists in all of straight-ahead jazz. For heart, soul, and dexterity, for imagination, facility, and finesse, you're not going to do much better than this. The very act of listening is really a groove study in electromagnetic ...

Hollywood Stampede

Hollywood Stampede (1945) more music like this

by Coleman Hawkins

Hawkins led one of his finest bands in 1945, a sextet with the fiery trumpeter Howard McGhee that fell somewhere between small-group swing and bebop. This CD contains all of that group's 12 recordings, including memorable versions of "Rifftide" and "Stuffy"; trombonist Vic Dickenson guests on four tracks. This CD concludes with one of Hawkins' ...

'Round Midnight [BCD] (2000) more music like this

by Stan Getz

Velvet toned tenor saxophonist Stan Getz gigged all over northern Europe and Scandinavia from the summer of 1958 through the autumn of 1960. Jazz Hour presents a wonderful album of live recordings made between June 1958 and October 1959 in Frederiksstad, Norway, Copenhagen and Aabenraa, Denmark, and Paris France. Getz found himself collaborating ...

Full Circle (1998) more music like this

by Howard Alden & Jimmy Bruno

For its 25th anniversary in 1998, Concord Jazz came up with a unique package comprised of the first and last sessions that label founder Carl Jefferson produced. Jefferson was nothing if not consistent in his vision from beginning to end, for both albums were guitar duo sessions in a mainstream idiom with bass and drums. Flashing back a quarter of ...

Ken Burns Jazz (2000) more music like this

by Coleman Hawkins

With cooperation from the Verve and Columbia Legacy catalogs, the Ken Burns Jazz series on CD individually spotlights the musical excellence of 22 jazz originators whose careers and influence are explored in Burns' PBS documentary Jazz. Coleman Hawkins created the voice of the tenor saxophone in jazz, maintaining an open mind throughout his career ...

From the Beginning (2002) more music like this

by Scott Hamilton

Whoever decided to name '50s-style, small combo jazz "mainstream" did a disservice to saxophonists like Scott Hamilton. The word sounds safe and soulless. And while Hamilton will never be mistaken for John Coltrane, he's no throwback to some fondly remembered (and forgotten) era. From the Beginning combines the oddly titled Scott Hamilton Is a ...

Keep That Groove Going (2001) more music like this

by Red Holloway & Plas Johnson

Plas Johnson's playing has a place on almost every American's mental hard drive, even if you don't know his name (he was the piccolo player on Bobby Day's "Rockin' Robin," the tenor sax on The Pink Panther and The Odd Couple themes, etc.). Red Holloway has a higher profile in the jazz world, but like Johnson, chose to confine himself mostly to Los ...

A Is a Good Wind Who Is Blowing Us No Ill (1977) more music like this

by Scott Hamilton

Tenor saxophonist Scott Hamilton's debut for Concord (which has been reissued on CD) alerted the jazz world to the young swing stylist and predated Wynton Marsalis' first record (and the emergence of the Young Lions) by a couple years. Hamilton, who mixed together Zoot Sims and Ben Webster to form his own recognizable tone, already sounded in ...

Bean Bags (1958) more music like this

by Milt Jackson/Coleman Hawkins

Many of vibraphonist Milt Jackson's Atlantic recordings are long overdue to appear on CD, and that certainly includes Bean Bags, which features a meeting with the great tenor Coleman Hawkins. Assisted by a top-notch quartet (pianist Tommy Flanagan, guitarist Kenny Burrell, bassist Eddie Jones, and drummer Connie Kay), Bean Bags romps through ...

Jazz/Concord (1973) more music like this

by Herb Ellis/Joe Pass/Ray Brown/Jake Hanna

The very first release by the Concord label (recorded at the 1973 Concord Jazz Festival and now available on CD) was a quartet set featuring guitarists Herb Ellis and Joe Pass, bassist Ray Brown, and drummer Jake Hanna. Ellis and Pass (the latter was just beginning to be discovered) always made for a perfectly complementary team, constantly ...

Atlantic Jazz: Mainstream (1990) more music like this

by Various Artists

Atlantic's exhaustive jazz series rolls on with an enigmatically titled roundup of swing and bop veterans. One would guess that "Mainstream" here refers to the absence of any envelope-pushing types from the hard bop and free jazz camps. Instead, listeners will be wowed by the stately and vintage sounds of a mid-'50s Coleman Hawkins and Milt ...

Live in Europe (1958) more music like this

by Stan Getz

Tenor-great Stan Getz spent several years in Europe in the late '50s. This difficult-to-find French import features Getz in a quartet/quintet with pianist Martial Solal, bassist Pierre Michelot, drummer Kenny Clarke and, on two numbers, guitarist Jimmy Gourley. The results are predictably excellent with such songs as "All God's Children Got Rhythm ...

Lisa Pollard had been visible on the Bay Area jazz scene for 25 years when, in 1993, she recorded her first album as a leader I See Your Face Before Me. Backed by a solid rhythm section consisting of bassist Ray Brown, pianist Benny Green (not to be confused with the late trombonist Bennie Green), and drummer Grady Tate, the tenor saxophonist (who ...

1950-1953 (2004) more music like this

by Coleman Hawkins

Although he adapted better than most swing-era musicians to the bop revolution that swept through jazz in the late '40s, Coleman Hawkins was still viewed by the record labels as a swing artist, and he recorded infrequently in the early '50s. His tough, romantic tenor saxophone sound was considered by many to be dated, although most bop tenor ...
