Talking Book

Talking Book (1972) more music like this

by Stevie Wonder

After releasing two "head" records during 1970-71, Stevie Wonder expanded his compositional palate with 1972's Talking Book to include societal ills as well as tender love songs, and so recorded the first smash album of his career. What had been hinted at on the intriguing project Music of My Mind was here focused into a laser beam of tight ...

The New Standard

The New Standard (1995) more music like this

by Herbie Hancock

On first glance this record would not seem to have much promise from a jazz standpoint. Herbie Hancock performs a set of tunes which include numbers from the likes of Peter Gabriel, Stevie Wonder, Sade, Paul Simon, Prince, the Beatles ("Norwegian Wood") and Kurt Cobain. However by adding vamps, reharmonizing the chord structures, sometimes quickly ...

Sweet Drive

Sweet Drive (2007) more music like this

by Les Sabler

The list of well-known Los Angeles-based musicians who Canadian guitarist Les Sabler employs on Sweet Drive is impressive. Keyboardist Jeff Lorber, saxophonists Eric Marienthal and Gary Meek, bassist Brian Bromberg (who produced this 2007 release), trumpeter Jerry Hey (of Seawind fame), drummer Vinnie Colaiuta, and percussionist Alex Acuņa are ...

Following Footsteps

Following Footsteps (1998) more music like this

by Jeff Jarvis

This outing from trumpeter Jeff Jarvis is quite commercial, with mundane originals, a few pop/R&B tunes, and Thad Jones' "A Child Is Born" all being given consistently unimaginative treatment. Jarvis is a technically skilled trumpeter with a warm sound and there are some strong players on this set, including tenor saxophonist Ernie Watts, Shelly ...

The Best of Quincy Jones, Vol. 2

The Best of Quincy Jones, Vol. 2 (1970) more music like this

by Quincy Jones

Musically, this is actually a better collection than Vol. 1, digging a little deeper into the A&M files and coming up with some more eclectic material. Some of that extra edge comes from TV land via the streetwise themes from Sanford and Son and the now-overlooked first Bill Cosby Show ("Hikky-Burr"). Other highlights here are a heavily edited ...

Motown Chartbusters, Vols. 7-12 [Box Set]

Motown Chartbusters, Vols. 7-12 [Box Set] (1999) more music like this

by Various Artists

An eccentric but somewhat valuable way to build or complement a Motown collection, the box set Motown Chartbusters, Vols. 7-12 collects the final six volumes in the soul champion's hit series (all of them also available separately). It may not be the most economical way to buy Motown, but the Chartbusters series does offer an intriguing blend of ...

Ken Burns Jazz

Ken Burns Jazz (2000) more music like this

by Herbie Hancock

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 ...

Classics, Vol. 3

Classics, Vol. 3 (1987) more music like this

by Quincy Jones

This collection was released during the time of A&M's 25th anniversary. Also at the time CD technology was still a new thing. That might explain the near-scientific title. Two of Jones' more quirky arrangements, "Gula Matari" and the "Sanford and Son Theme," show up here. In a surprise move, Jones' graceful and apt cover of Stevie Wonder's "You've ...

Groovin' with Groove

Groovin' with Groove (1995) more music like this

by Richard "Groove" Holmes

This killer little Groove Holmes date was produced by the mighty Sonny Lester, and features a big band arranged and conducted by Manny Albam. Other than Holmes, the only other soloist credited here is Eddie Daniels on tenor and flute. The material here is curious upon first glance, with covers of Gerry Goffin's "Go Away Little Girl," Stevie Wonder ...
