by
Sonny Rollins & Coleman Hawkins
This is a truly strange (but, ultimately, pretty great) conglomeration of material: tracks one through six comprise a tenor saxophone summit meeting of sorts between bebop master Sonny Rollins and pre-bop elder statesman Coleman Hawkins, with Paul Bley on piano, drummer Roy McCurdy and the bass chair alternating between Henry Grimes and Bob ...

Al Green
Al Green fans will be aware that The Immortal Soul of Al Green actually marks the second time that a four-CD box set of Green's recordings has been assembled, following by seven years its predecessor, Anthology. That being the case, the obvious question is, why do listeners need another Al Green box set? The answer lies in the two conflicting ...

Brenda & the Tabulations
As was the custom of the day, Brenda & the Tabulations' debut album was overstuffed with familiar cover versions, which were done respectably; actually, the sultry, drawn-out reading of "Summertime" is really good, as is the calypso-ish take of the Marvelettes' "Forever." There are also a few more originals by the Brenda Payton-Maurice Coates team ...

Jim Hall & Pat Metheny
These two guitarists -- one an elder statesman, the other still a relatively young man in the midst of a stellar career -- are such a natural fit that it's amazing no one's thought of getting them together for a duo album before. Both play with a gentle touch and sweet tone, and both are capable of challenging experimentation, though each have ...

Maxine Sullivan
All of Maxine Sullivan's recordings from 1944-1949 are on this single CD; she would only record two songs during the 1950-1954 period before making some full-length records in 1955. This reissue is more complete than the previous Tono recording that covered the same period, for it adds nine additional cuts. The previous 18 numbers find Sullivan in ...

Bassist's bassist Ray Brown is inspired and inspiring on Summertime, which finds him in the company of his trio and guest guitarist Ulf Wakenius. Whether it's the addition of Wakenius, new pianist Geoff Keezer, or just the felicitous combination of peerless players and dynamite material, this set easily eclipses Brown's preceding "Live at Sculler ...

The musical legacy of George and Ira Gershwin is truly an astounding one. Together they wrote the music for a dozen stage shows and four films beginning with 1924's Lady Be Good (which gave us "Fascinating Rhythm"), and several individual songs from this writing and composing partnership have become undisputed classics in the Great American ...

Bob Haggart was a fine bass player, but his ambitions and talents took him beyond simple sideman status. He began playing with Bob Crosby's Bobcats in the 1930s and continued to work in the swing idiom for the next 60 years. Although Haggart died in 1998, Arbors released All-Stars at Bob Haggart's 80th Birthday in 2002, a concert recording from ...

Licensing power makes Rhino's two-CD Mongo Santamaria anthology a good choice for the newcomer, for it gathers together 34 tracks from 23 albums on seven labels, covering most of Mongo's long career.

The bedtime entry in Music for Little People's series of Child's Celebration samplers is predictably becalmed and characteristically diverse. For the most part, the label licensed material from elsewhere, and if the mood and tempos are consistent, the artist lineup ranges from the Grateful Dead to Live with Regis and Kathie Lee, or at least from ...

Leslie Uggams
The 1962 album Leslie on TV and its 1963 sequel, More Leslie on TV, are resurrected on this 1999 release. Neither album charted and none of the songs were hits, but the CD adds as a bonus track Uggams' sole pop hit, "One More Sunrise (Morgen)," from 1959. This is a single that peaked at number 98, though, so what are the selling points for this ...
