The Best of Ken Burns Jazz

The Best of Ken Burns Jazz (2000) more music like this

by Various Artists

In conjunction with documentary filmmaker Ken Burns' ten-part 2000 PBS special, Columbia/Legacy and Verve teamed up to issue a special series of reissues covering much of the history of 20th century jazz. The central release of this program was the five-CD box set Ken Burns Jazz: The Story of America's Music, which was augmented by no less than 22 ...

The Great Summit: The Master Takes

The Great Summit: The Master Takes (2001) more music like this

by Louis Armstrong & Duke Ellington

Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington were (and are) two of the main stems of jazz. Any way you look at it, just about everything that's ever happened in this music leads directly -- or indirectly -- back to them. Both men were born on the cusp of the 19th and 20th centuries, and each became established as a leader during the middle '20s. Although ...

Caught in the Act

Caught in the Act (1997) more music like this

by Royal Crown Revue

The Royal Crown Revue is one hot little band. Here the sextet roars through a set of originals and jump swing standards in a live performance. The band is all swagger and attitude. But while the vocals can tend toward a sing-song sameness of spoken-word rapping, the horns and rhythm section constantly rev things up. On tracks like "Park's Place" ...

Ken Burns Jazz (2000) more music like this

by Duke Ellington

In conjunction with the release of Ken Burns' ten-part, 19-hour epic PBS documentary Jazz, Columbia issued 22 single-disc compilations devoted to jazz's most significant artists, as well as a five-disc historical summary. Since the individual compilations attempt to present balanced overviews of each artist's career, tracks from multiple labels ...

Live in the Netherlands

Live in the Netherlands (1980) more music like this

by Jean 'Toots' Thielemans with Joe Pass

This rather memorable Pablo recording, his only album as a leader for Norman Granz's label (although he made several notable appearances as a sideman), features the great jazz harmonica player Toots Thielemans in a sparse trio with guitarist Joe Pass and bassist Niels Pedersen. The four main numbers ("Blues in the Closet," "Thriving on a Riff," ...

Duke in Blue

Duke in Blue (1999) more music like this

by Ellis Marsalis

Recorded during Duke Ellington's centennial year, this solo piano date by Ellis Marsalis is a tasteful tribute to Ellington. Marsalis expertly performs 15 songs from Duke's repertoire (including three tunes in a medley), sometimes modernizing the chords but always keeping the melody close by. The problem with the recital from the listener's ...

The Essential Duke Ellington [Sony]

The Essential Duke Ellington [Sony] (2005) more music like this

by Duke Ellington

The Essential Duke Ellington, a two-CD set, differs from previous Columbia/Legacy Duke Ellington reissues in that the music is drawn not only from Sony's vaults but from BMG's vaults, too. Four selections are from the 1920s, 20 date from the 1930s, seven are from the 1940s, and the final six were recorded between 1950 and 1960. Is this an ...

For My Lady

For My Lady (1991) more music like this

by Jean 'Toots' Thielemans with Shirley Horn

The emphasis is on ballads for harmonica player Toots Thielemans' outing with the Shirley Horn Trio. Horn, in addition to contributing some tastefully supportive piano and occasional solos, takes a vocal on "Someone to Watch Over Me." Toots sounds quite relaxed performing 11 standards (only "Blues in the Closet" generates much heat) plus his ...

The Great Paris Concert [Atlantic] (1963) more music like this

by Duke Ellington

This set came about, in part, as a result of Ellington's signing to Frank Sinatra's Reprise label in November 1962, with the ending of his exclusive contract to Columbia. Six numbers from the three Paris dates were initially edited and released by Reprise as part of the ten-song Duke Ellington's Greatest Hits, but the bulk of the performances from ...

The OKeh Ellington (1927) more music like this

by Duke Ellington

Although generally not as celebrated as his Victor recordings of the same period, Duke Ellington's performances for OKeh (late acquired by Columbia) are among the best of the period, featuring distinctive solos by the likes of trumpeter Bubber Miley (and later his replacement Cootie Williams), trombonist Tricky Sam Nanton (who, like Miley, was an ...

The Duke: The Essential Recordings (1927-1962) (2000) more music like this

by Duke Ellington

Unlike some labels, who chose to celebrate Duke Ellington's centennial with lavish sets of his complete recordings for a label, Columbia/Legacy decided to keep things relatively simple. They assembled Duke Ellington - The Essential Collection: 1927-1962, a three-disc set that features highlights of his sessions for Columbia over the years. ...

The Great Summit: Complete Sessions [Deluxe Edition] (2000) more music like this

by Louis Armstrong & Duke Ellington

The master takes of this two-CD set have appeared previously on a number of reissues on both LP and CD as a compilation of the original two individual records Together for the First Time and The Great Reunion, but this release easily beats all of the previous issues. Two music legends, Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington, met in the studio for two ...

Legendary Sidney Bechet (1991) more music like this

by Sidney Bechet

This collection of Bechet tracks cut between 1932 and 1941 would be worth owning if for nothing else than the inclusion of his one-man-band recording of "Sheik of Araby," the first known instance of overdubbing with Sidney playing clarinet, tenor sax, piano, bass and drums. But everything on here is fine, spirited New Orleans music, played with ...

An Electrifying Evening with the Dizzy Gillespie Quintet (1961) more music like this

by Dizzy Gillespie Quintet

Dizzy Gillespie (along with altoist Leo Wright, pianist Lalo Schfrin, bassist Bob Cunningham, and drummer Chuck Lampkin) were in peak form for this live performance. Their versions of "Kush," "Salt Peanuts," and "The Mooche" are all excellent, but it is "A Night in Tunisia," with its absolutely stunning trumpet break (which lasts half a chorus), ...

Ellington Uptown (1953) more music like this

by Duke Ellington

Even back in the early '50s, Columbia Records took Duke Ellington seriously enough to place this album on its prestigious Masterworks label, heretofore reserved mostly for highbrow classical music and Broadway shows (later in the decade, though, it was retitled Hi-Fi Ellington Uptown and reissued on the pop series with an additional piece, "The ...

Jazz guitar fans should be thrilled by this lavish box set from Proper. Just as they did with they equally impressive survey of jazz drumming (Engine Room: A History of Jazz Drumming From Storyville to 52nd Street), the English label focuses here on one of the less-hailed components of the jazz firmament. Including extensive sessionographies, ...

An album with Duke Ellingtion, this is a joyful collaboration by two of the greatest names in jazz. Tunes include "Mood Indigo," "Black and Tan Fantasy," and other Ellington pieces. Sideman Barney Bigard (cl) adds particular charm to "It Don't Mean a Thing." Bruce Boyd Raeburn, All Music Guide

Blue Light/Hi-Fi Ellington Uptown (2006) more music like this

by Duke Ellington

These two original Duke Ellington albums on one CD from the Columbia Records vaults are quite different. Blue Light consists mostly of ballads originally recorded in the late '30s and not initially released until the early '50s. Included are two standards, the classic "Prelude to a Kiss" and lengthy epic "Reminiscing in Tempo." From 1951, Hi-Fi ...

The Addams Family [Original Score] (1991) more music like this

Bless Marc Shaiman for good instincts and director Barry Sonnenfeld for letting Shaiman run with them, because the end result, at least in the case of the Addams Family films, is wonderful. Aside from the nod to Vic Mizzy's TV theme at the start, and the wildly inchoate "Mamushka" midway (with lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green), the score ...
