Jazz in 3/4 Time

Jazz in 3/4 Time (1956) more music like this

by Max Roach

The post-Clifford Brown quintet that drummer Max Roach led tends to get overlooked, but it actually ranked up there with the Jazz Messengers and the Horace Silver Quintet in the late '50s. With tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins becoming a stronger soloist month by month (he was arguably the top tenor in jazz at the time) and veteran trumpeter Kenny ...

Sonny Rollins Plus Four [RVG Remasters]

Sonny Rollins Plus Four [RVG Remasters] (2007) more music like this

by Sonny Rollins

In 1956 Sonny Rollins used the Clifford Brown-Max Roach Quintet (of which he was a member) as his sidemen for this Prestige set. The high points of this particularly strong hard bop set include "Valse Hot" (an early jazz waltz), a rapid rendition of "I Feel a Song Coming On" and Rollins' classic "Pent-Up House."

The Best Thing for Me

The Best Thing for Me (1998) more music like this

by Ben Aronov

Ben Aronov has been on the jazz scene for quite a while, but has made few recordings as a leader, making this 1997 session long overdue. This well-crafted date displays his readily apparent imagination and chops. The mix of music comes from Broadway ("It's All Right With Me"), bop (Charlie Parker's "Air Conditioning"), Latin jazz ("Tin Tin Deo"), ...

Live at Birdland

Live at Birdland (1997) more music like this

by Jimmy Bruno & Bobby Watson

This excellent set from guitarist Jimmy Bruno can easily be divided into two. The first four numbers (which include "Move" and "Grooveyard") showcase Bruno in a trio with bassist Craig Thomas and drummer Vince Ector; the guitarist mostly swings quite hard. The other six songs feature the great altoist Bobby Watson, who takes spirited solos on ...

Accordion à la Mode/A Perfect Match

Accordion à la Mode/A Perfect Match (2000) more music like this

by Art Van Damme

The combination of these Art Van Damme albums, Accordion à la Mode and A Perfect Match, provide pleasant interpretations of pop-jazz standards with the accordion as the featured instrument. The familiar melodies of "On Green Dolphin Street," "Poinciana," and "Bye Bye Blackbird" hold up exceptionally well. These LPs were originally released on ...

Brownie Lives! Live at Basin Street and In Concert (1955) more music like this

by Clifford Brown/Max Roach Quintet

Although Clifford Brown did a phenomenal amount of commercial recordings during his all too brief lifetime (he died prior to his 26th birthday in a car crash that also took the life of his quintet's pianist Richie Powell, Bud's younger brother), relatively few of the recordings he made were on stage. Fortunately, this CD includes performances from ...

Complete Studio Recordings [The Max Roach Quintet] (2006) more music like this

by Max Roach/Kenny Dorham/Sonny Rollins

The superb modern jazz material in this set is hardly an example of the genre as a neglected, unheard entity. Drummer Max Roach reached a wide audience with his band-leading activities, impressing most listeners if not bowling them over entirely with the outstanding quality of his bandstand mates.,Improvisers know that with Roach on the drums ...

Three of Four (2000) more music like this

by Harold Danko

Harold Danko's CD title has two meanings: he often plays with a quartet including tenor saxophonist Rich Perry, who is not present on this session; also, the pieces are played in either 3/4 or 6/8 time. With bassist Scott Colley and drummer Jeff Hirschfield, the pianist explores a wide range of compositions, including Fats Waller's light-hearted ...
