Nightmoves (2007) more music like this

by Kurt Elling

When Kurt Elling issued Man in the Air on the Blue Note label in 2003, it showcased his expansive, dream-weaving stage persona, though the album was recorded in the studio. Nightmoves arrives at a time when Elling has left Blue Note for the hopefully greener pastures of the Concord kingdom, and has been both directing and hosting festivals while ...

Always Say Goodbye (1993) more music like this

by Charlie Haden

Always Say Goodbye is part of the continuing Quartet West project by Haden, in which the venerable bassist attempts to evoke the spirit of Hollywood circa 1930-1940. To that end, the record opens and closes with snippets from the soundtrack to The Big Sleep, one of Haden's favorite movies. After the introduction, the album seamlessly transitions ...

Djangology [Bluebird] (2002) more music like this

by Django Reinhardt

In 1949, guitarist Django Reinhardt and violinist Stephane Grappelli performed together for the first time since the outbreak of World War II put an end to the classic lineup of the Quintet of the Hot Club of France, with the pair reuniting in an Italian recording studio and laying down a number of tunes with a solid local rhythm section. In 1961, ...

Djangology 49 (1949) more music like this

by Django Reinhardt

Recorded in Rome during the winter of 1949, this excellent collection builds on the earlier Djangology by adding some tracks that were recorded at that Italian session, but were for whatever reason originally omitted from the earlier record. The sound quality varies somewhat from song to song, but what comes through loud and clear is the utter ...

The Best of Quartet West (2007) more music like this

by Charlie Haden

It would seem a strange thing compiling the work of Charlie Haden's decade-long Quartet West Group onto a single disc. The reason isn't that they recorded so much material, but more because the material was themed record by record. Yet that is exactly why a compilation like this does work, because this group played music utilizing different ...

Teatro (1998) more music like this

by Willie Nelson

For whatever reason, Willie Nelson's Teatro -- like Emmylou Harris' Wrecking Ball -- seems to exist in a vacuum, completely set apart from his other recordings. It's untrue in either case, but especially in Nelson's. A scant year or so before Teatro was released -- and its recording sessions filmed in an old movie theater in Mexico -- Nelson ...

Jazz Tribute No. 39: The Indispensable Django Reinhardt, 1949-1950 (1949) more music like this

Complete, Vol. 17: 1949 la Mer (2003) more music like this

by Django Reinhardt

Here is a fascinating taste of where Django's art was headed during the last years of his life. By the late '40s, Django was feeling somewhat disconnected from audiences both in the U.S.A. and in Europe. He found himself in the strange position of being too modern for the traditionalists and too traditional for certain modernists. Much of this ...
