Definitive Hits

Definitive Hits (2001) more music like this

by Herb Alpert

How self-serving can one musical genius be to have a label he co-founded release a collection of his best-loved songs? But this is not just any self-serving genius. This is the guy who brought the world Dolores Ericson covered in shaving foam. This is the self-serving genius who scored the best James Bond film that wasn't really a James Bond film ...

The Latin Side of Vince Guaraldi

The Latin Side of Vince Guaraldi (1964) more music like this

by Vince Guaraldi

The Latin side for Vince Guaraldi means a brush with both the Brazilian and Caribbean strains of Latin jazz, garnished now and then by an outboard string quartet and graced by four of his own delightful tunes. On Brazilian numbers like "Corcovado" and Brazilian-treated tunes like "Mr. Lucky" and Guaraldi's lovely "Star Song," Vince has drummer ...

Feeling Good: The Very Best of Nina Simone

Feeling Good: The Very Best of Nina Simone (1994) more music like this

by Nina Simone

A fiery interpreter of the usually staid American songbook, Nina Simone took a song and made it her own -- whether it was Gershwin's "I Loves You, Porgy" or Billie Holiday's "Strange Fruit." This 1994 collection on Universal features selections from her Philips years of the mid-'60s, generally acknowledged as the pinnacle of her recording career, ...

East-West

East-West (1966) more music like this

by The Paul Butterfield Blues Band

The second Butterfield album had an even greater effect on music history, paving the way for experimentation that is still being explored today. This came in the form of an extended blues-rock solo (some 13 minutes) -- a real fusion of jazz and blues inspired by the Indian raga. This groundbreaking instrumental was the first of its kind and marks ...

Them Dirty Blues

Them Dirty Blues (1960) more music like this

by Cannonball Adderley

Recorded in early 1960, Them Dirty Blues contains two classic jazz compositions: Nat Adderley's "Work Song" and Bobby Timmons' "Dat Dere," the sequel to "This Here." This was alto saxophonist Cannonball Adderley's second quintet with brother Nat Adderley (cornet), and features Bobby Timmons on piano (who plays on four tracks and was replaced by ...

The Complete Riverside Recordings

The Complete Riverside Recordings (1959) more music like this

by Wes Montgomery

Wes Montgomery recorded exclusively for the Riverside label during the four years covered by this massive 12-CD box set and, although his later albums for Verve and particularly the pop/jazz A&M dates sold many more copies, it is from his Riverside dates that his legacy was primarily formed. Virtually unknown at the time of his debut on Riverside, ...

by The Paul Butterfield Blues Band

An Anthology -- The Elektra Years is a double-disc, 33-song set that offers a comprehensive overview of Paul Butterfield's eight years with the label. His first two albums, Paul Butterfield Blues Band and East-West, were seminal, groundbreaking records that blurred the boundaries between blues, jazz and rock, suggesting everything from blues-rock ...

Nina Simone's Finest Hour

Nina Simone's Finest Hour (2000) more music like this

by Nina Simone

Verve's Finest Hour collection of Nina Simone's work compiles 60 minutes of career highlights, including "Wild Is the Wind," "I Put a Spell on You," "Four Women," "I Loves You, Porgy," and "My Baby Just Cares for Me."

Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood

Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood (1989) more music like this

by Nina Simone

Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood is a compilation assembling songs from a fruitful period in Simone's career (the mid-'60s, when she recorded for Mercury and Phillips). The exceptional track selection helps Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood stand out from the many repackages of material from this era and amply demonstrates the range of Simone's artistry. ...

Great Arrival/Bully!

Great Arrival/Bully! (2000) more music like this

by Sergio Mendes & the Quartette Tres Bien

In 2000, reissue powerhouse Collectables combined Sergio Mendes' two records from his 1966 campaign (Great Arrival and Bully!, both originally on the Atlantic imprint) and put them together on one disc. A most sensible combination of classic Latin jazz, and economically feasible to boot. Rob Theakston, All Music Guide

On the Road (1979) more music like this

by Count Basie

This release gives one a definitive look at the Count Basie Orchestra during its final years. Trumpeter Pete Minger, trombonist Booty Wood and Eric Dixon on tenor and flute are the main soloists, but it is the classic Basie ensemble sound (which never seems to get dated or lose its charm and power) that carries the day. Whether it is "Wind Machine ...

Verve Jazz Masters 17 (1964) more music like this

by Nina Simone

Nina Simone's inclusion in Verve's Jazz Masters series is a bit suspect; there was a lot of jazz in Simone, true, but wasn't there quite a bit of pop and soul as well, not to mention some blues? Anyway, this is an excellent survey of her mid-'60s work, with 16 tracks spanning 1964 to 1966 that find Simone at her most versatile and assured. Quite a ...

The gospel-influenced folk of Joe and Eddie is well served by this lavish hits collection, which assembles 26 tracks from the duo's eight albums. It includes "There's a Meetin' Here Tonite," their best-known song. Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide

Diamonds for Nat (2006) more music like this

by Scott Whitfield Jazz Orchestra East

At the time this recording was made, trombonist Scott Whitfield had successfully relocated to the West Coast, where he was leading his big band. He went back to New York City to record this one, and it features some major players from the local scene. This is a tribute album, dedicated to the music of trumpeter Nat Adderley, who was a major ...

Nippon Soul (1963) more music like this

by Cannonball Adderley Sextet

Recorded live in Tokyo on July 14th and 15th, 1963, Nippon Soul is not the Asian-jazz fusion suggested by the title (check out Cal Tjader's Several Shades of Jade and Breeze From the East for that), but a solid live set that showcases one of Cannonball Adderley's finest groups, featuring himself, brother Nat Adderley on cornet, bassist Sam Jones, ...

Very Tall (1961) more music like this

by Oscar Peterson with Milt Jackson

This first matchup on records between pianist Oscar Peterson and vibraphonist Milt Jackson was so logical that it is surprising it did not occur five years earlier. Originally recorded for Verve and three decades later reissued on this audiophile CD by Mobile Fidelity, the quartet set (which also includes bassist Ray Brown and drummer Ed Thigpen) ...

Work Song (1960) more music like this

by Nat Adderley

This CD reissue brings back a near-classic by cornetist Nat Adderley. Utilizing a cornet-cello-guitar front line (with Sam Jones and Wes Montgomery) along with a top-notch rhythm section (pianist Bobby Timmons, Percy Heath, or Keter Betts on bass and drummer Louis Hayes), Adderley performs a fine early version of his greatest hit ("Work Song") and ...

The Best of Cannonball Adderley: The Capitol Years (1991) more music like this

by Cannonball Adderley

Thanks to its ownership of some of Cannonball Adderley's Riverside recordings, Capitol was able to stretch the definition of Best of Cannonball Adderley: The Capitol Years a bit in this hits collection. Beginning with a pair of live Riverside tracks from Adderley's short-lived sextet with Yusef Lateef ("Work Song," "Jive Samba"), the CD enters the ...

Live! At the Desert Inn (1971) more music like this

by Bobby Darin

In the early '70s, Bobby Darin had discontinued his infamous "Bob Darin" billing, but he was still interpolating the best of the late-'60s folk and singer/songwriter scene into his live act -- this despite playing to the mostly middle-aged, craps-playing audience assembled at the Desert Inn in Las Vegas for an early 1971 run. Darin had more than a ...

The Curtain Falls: Live at the Flamingo (2000) more music like this

This stellar nightclub performance, from early November 1963, somehow remained under wraps for nearly four decades. Thankfully it was discovered and issued by independent mail order specialists Collectors' Choice Music. In addition to the unique qualities of an unheard vintage recording, Bobby Darin had also cited this run -- at the Flamingo Hotel ...

Roots, Blues & Jazz (2006) more music like this

by Bonnie Bramlett/Mr. Groove Band

No less than Ike Turner and Charlie Daniels have raving quotes in the packaging of the famed R&B/soul/jazz belter's rip-roaring, funky, and swinging mix of originals and standards from the worlds of rock and jazz -- but the former Ikette could have had numerous other legends chime in. She's worked with 'em all, singing with Eric Clapton, Joe ...

Recorded for Muse Records in 1967 as Grant Green was on an extended recording hiatus -- it was his only record between 1965's His Majesty, King Funk, his only album for Verve, and 1969's Carryin' On, his return to Blue Note -- Iron City actually captures the guitarist in fine form, jamming on six blues and R&B numbers with his longtime cohorts, ...

S.R.O. (1966) more music like this

by Herb Alpert & Tijuana Brass

By late 1966, it seemed as if every TV commercial and every pop arranger had latched onto the Herb Alpert "Ameriachi" sound -- at which point the resourceful originator of that sound began to pare it down and loosen it up a bit. S.R.O. (Standing Room Only), referring to the Tijuana Brass' string of sold-out concerts, is an accurate title, for this ...

Loose and Juicy is a treasure chest of rare grooves for jazz, hip-hop, and funk enthusiasts. Cammille Yarbrough's track "Take Your Praise," was the source of Norman Cook's (Fatboy Slim) hit single "Praise You." Captured here on CD, Yarbrough captivates the listener with her poetic vocals and raw funk. Bunky Green's sizzling sax work on "Funk Ain't ...

High Priestess of Soul (1966) more music like this

by Nina Simone

Perhaps a bit more conscious of contemporary soul trends than her previous Philips albums, this is still very characteristic of her mid-'60s work in its eclectic mix of jazz, pop, soul, and some blues and gospel. Hal Mooney directs some large band arrangements for the material on this LP without submerging Simone's essential strengths. The more ...
