Pure Getz

Pure Getz (1982) more music like this

by Stan Getz Quartet

Stan Getz's 1982 band featured the harmonically advanced pianist Jim McNeely, bassist Marc Johnson and drummer Victor Lewis; Billy Hart fills in for Lewis on three numbers. This date sticks (with one exception) to high-quality jazz standards, some of which ("Sippin at Bell's") are not performed all that often. Getz is particularly swinging on ...

Here Come the Noise Makers

Here Come the Noise Makers (2000) more music like this

by Bruce Hornsby

Bruce Hornsby was 32 when "That's the Way It Is" hit number one and made him a star in the winter of 1986-1987, and he has used that stardom differently from the way a 22-year-old might have. You might say he's deliberately dismantled his popularity, gradually dispensing with the Range, the backing band he used to bill on his records, and with his ...

Toshiko Akiyoshi at Maybeck

Toshiko Akiyoshi at Maybeck (1994) more music like this

by Toshiko Akiyoshi

It figured that Toshiko Akiyoshi would come up with one of the more individual solo albums in the Maybeck series (of which this is Vol. 36). Like most of her colleagues, she comes from out of the bop school, yet her playing here doesn't sound much like anyone else's. She has her own distinct ideas and she is especially compelling when her hands ...

The Best of Miles Davis: The Capitol/Blue Note Years  [Blue Note]

The Best of Miles Davis: The Capitol/Blue Note Years [Blue Note] (1949) more music like this

by Miles Davis

Mostly spotlighting Davis' late-'40s and early-'50s tenure at Blue Note, this best-of disc offers a very fine way for newcomers to get familiar with the early output of one of the all-time jazz greats. Not to slight later roundups on Prestige and Columbia, but Davis' Blue Note stretch provides listeners with a chance to hear the trumpeter at the ...

Rendezvous in New York

Rendezvous in New York (2003) more music like this

by Chick Corea

One of Chick Corea's most ambitious projects was the recording of almost 60 hours of music with nine different groups over a three-week run at the Blue Note in December 2001; it must have been a challenge to choose the dozen performances for this two-CD set. The first disc begins with scat singer par excellence Bobby McFerrin joining the pianist ...

Remembering Bud Powell

Remembering Bud Powell (1997) more music like this

by Chick Corea

Pianist Chick Corea in 1996 gathered together some notable young all-stars (tenor-saxophonist Joshua Redman, trumpeter Wallace Roney, altoist Kenny Garrett, bassist Christian McBride, plus veteran drummer Roy Haynes) for explorations of tunes by the innovative pianist Bud Powell. Although "Bouncin' With Bud," "Tempus Fugit" and "Celia" have been ...

Remembering Bud: Cleopatra's Dream

Remembering Bud: Cleopatra's Dream (1990) more music like this

by Toshiko Akiyoshi

Bandleader and pianist Toshiko Akiyoshi is a far better player than she claims, and she demonstrates her abilities on these 10 tracks recorded in 1990. Akiyoshi displays an accomplished rhythmic style, nice harmonic sense and good command of the keyboard. While her touch and volume are not as emphatic as some other pianists, Akiyoshi's melodic ...

Birdland 1951 (2004) more music like this

by Miles Davis

These ten tracks, taken from radio broadcasts from the legendary Birdland in 1951, represent a particularly fruitful period in Miles Davis' development as a bandleader. There are three different broadcasts included here; two comprising six cuts in total were from June and September and have been issued in various forms on bootlegs over the decades ...

The Definitive Bud Powell (2002) more music like this

by Bud Powell

Bud Powell changed the way that the piano is played in jazz, virtually inventing bebop-style piano. This sampler draws its music from his Blue Note sessions of 1947-1953, some of his finest recordings. Actually, with the exception of 1947's "Bud's Bubble" and "Glass Enclosure" from 1953, the music is all from 1949 or 1951. Three selections ...

Time Flies (2005) more music like this

by P.J. Perry/Bobby Shew

One of Canada's great jazz musicians, P.J. Perry has long been a top-notch bop-based altoist. On Time Flies, he teams up with trumpeter Bobby Shew and a couple supportive rhythm sections that feature pianist Ross Taggart. The repertoire is filled with standards, bop tunes, and viable vehicles for swinging improvisations. Highlights include Shew's ...

Turtle Island String Quartet (1988) more music like this

by Turtle Island String Quartet

The Turtle Island String Quartet was not the first group of its kind to record jazz, but they have easily outclassed their competition in the years following this impressive debut recording. Each of the players is an accomplished soloist and also excels whether bowing, playing pizzicato, or playing percussion with their instruments. Violinist ...

Compact Jazz: Bud Powell (1993) more music like this

by Bud Powell

As a budget sampler, this edition of the Compact Jazz series offers newcomers an attractive overview of Bud Powell's Verve material from 1949-1956. That said, the disc does include several cuts from Powell's less-than-stellar mid-'50s trio sessions, a time when mental illness and electroshock therapy had started to take its toll. And although ...

Further Adventures (1989) more music like this

by Holly Hofmann Quartet

Flutist Holly Hofmann's second Capri recording uses the same musicians as her debut: pianist Mike Wofford, bassist Bob Magnusson and drummer Sherman Ferguson. Hofmann, a superior bop-based improviser, performs a wide range of jazz standards and obscurities, including pieces by Ellington and Strayhorn ("Mount Harissa"), Art Pepper ("True Blues"), ...

by Howard Alden

Howard Alden and Ken Peplowski have previously appeared on a number of each other's CDs and this is hardly their first opportunity to play as a duo. Both Alden and Peplowski are equally at home in bop and swing with a vast shared repertoire between them. They are among the best on their respective instruments, with intuitive minds that work ...

The Blue Note and Capitol Recordings (1949) more music like this

by Miles Davis

This four-CD set is actually just a repackaging of four CDs that are available separately: the classic Birth of the Cool sessions, Cannonball Adderley's 1958 date with Miles Davis as a sideman (Somethin' Else), Miles Davis, Vol. 1, and Miles Davis, Vol. 2. The latter two sets feature three often-overlooked sessions from 1952-1954 that actually are ...

In the Mood for a Classic (1994) more music like this

by Andy LaVerne

This brilliant solo CD features pianist Andy LaVerne covering 17 of Bud Powell's memorable compositions, including famous works and obscure tunes. LaVerne's approach to Powell's music is different from other pianists because he emphasizes the lyrical qualities of pieces like "Celia" and "Oblivion" rather than just showing off his incredible ...
