by
Sonny Rollins
The music on this 1996 CD has been reissued many times, including in the Bluebird series. Tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins' first recording after ending a surprising three-year retirement found the great saxophonist sounding very similar to how he had played in 1959, although he would soon start investigating freer forms. In a pianoless quartet ...

more music like this
by
Frank Sinatra
By the time the triple-record set Trilogy was released, Frank Sinatra had become somewhat of a recluse from the recording studio. An audacious, ambitious way to stage a comeback, each of the album's three records was conceived as an individual work, and each was arranged by one of Sinatra's major collaborators -- Billy May (The Past), Don Costa ...

The Reprise Collection

more music like this
by
Frank Sinatra
Like The Capitol Years, the four-disc box set The Reprise Collection was released to celebrate Frank Sinatra's 75th anniversary. However, it works as a better sampler than the Capitol set, partially because Sinatra released so many albums on Reprise that it is necessary to have an introduction to such a large body of work. Also, his Reprise ...

You Must Believe in Spring [Bonus Tracks]

more music like this
by
Bill Evans
Bill Evans' contract with Fantasy came to an end in the mid-'70s after Warner Bros. lured the pianist with the benefits only a major label can offer. Yet these stunning 1977 sessions were inexplicably withheld from release for nearly four years, possibly because this edition of the trio broke up before the album could be issued. In any case, Evans ...

by
The Isley Brothers
"Shout" is like a tent revival gone haywire, with the merest scraps of a song -- a groove and a few phrases -- igniting a soul explosion the likes of which had never been heard on record. The song was only a minor hit, but has been granted immortality for its exuberance and influence. The album of the same name, the Isley Brothers' full-length ...

He does indeed take a few short trumpet solos on the well-rounded program, 24 songs (13 previously unissued) performed during one night in Las Vegas.

Keely Smith
Ol' Blue Eyes is always ripe for a top-notch, big-band-flavored tribute, but how many who take on the daunting task knew him as well as his contemporary, whom Dean Martin and Sammy Davis, Jr. once dubbed "the female Sinatra"? And in case you don't know the history, Frank Sinatra Jr.'s liner notes and numerous archival photos of Smith with Sinatra ...

more music like this
by
Arthur Alexander
While this is a fine collection of Arthur Alexander's Dot work and his early singles for Judd, the name Greatest Hits is a bit of a misnomer; Rainbow Road: The Warner Bros. Recordings is a more comprehensive look at Alexander's career as a whole. However, what Greatest Hits lacks in breadth it more than makes up for in depth, gathering classics ...

George Benson with the Count Basie Orchestra
This project had its genesis back in 1983 with a Benson promise to Count Basie that he would record an album in his style, a promise partially fulfilled the following year with 20/20's "Beyond the Sea." Focusing on standards that steer commendably clear from tunes normally associated with Basie, Benson takes on the dual challenge of big-band ...

Mike Jones is a true virtuoso, a two-handed pianist who often recalls Oscar Peterson while throwing in some heated stride now and then along with basslines worthy of Dave McKenna. On his solo record, recorded live at his regular gig at Buffalo's Marquee At The Tralf, Jones really rips into the veteran standards, many of which date from the swing ...
