The Most Romantic Jazz Music in the Universe by Various Artists (CD - 10/01/2005)
"The Most Romantic Jazz Music in the Universe" (10/01/2005) Jazz Instrument Various Artists, SavoyCompeting well with similar compilations, The Most Romantic Jazz Music in the Universe is a solid and steady two-disc collection of mellow, romance-ready jazz featuring more recent artists such as pianist Eliane Elias alongside legends including alto saxophonist Cannonball Adderley. Okay, perhaps not the most romantic jazz in the universe, more like the most romantic jazz on Denon. Nonetheless, when you've got guitarists Pat Martino and Kenny Burrell on your album you know things are gonna be right for the afterglow. ~ Matt Collar

Legends of Acid Jazz: Sonny Stitt/Don Patterson, Vol. 2 by Sonny Stitt (CD - 01/26/1999)
"Legends of Acid Jazz: Sonny Stitt/Don Patterson, Vol. 2" (01/26/1999) Jazz Instrument Stitt, Sonny, Prestige RecordsOriginally released as two separate albums, Sonny Stitt's SOUL ELECTRICITY! and Don Patterson's FUNK YOU! Personnel includes: Sonny Stitt (saxophone); Don Patterson (organ); Charles McPherson (saxophone). Personnel: Sonny Stitt (alto saxophone, tenor saxophone); Pat Martino, Billy Butler (guitar); Charles McPherson (alto saxophone, tenor saxophone); Don Patterson (organ); Billy James (drums). Liner Note Author: Joe Segal. Recording information: Englewood Cliffs, NJ (09/23/1968-09/24/1968); New York, NY (09/23/1968-09/24/1968). Two-fer CD reissue combines two 1968 sessions, both featuring Stitt and Patterson, that were recorded on consecutive days (September 23-24, 1968), although one was issued under Patterson's name and the other under Stitt's. The first six songs were issued as the Patterson LP Funk You!, on which Patterson leads a date that also has Sonny Stitt and Charles McPherson on saxes and Pat Martino on guitar. The other players get about as much space as Patterson, and as 1960s jazz with organ goes, this is pretty straight-ahead and boppish, rather than soul-jazz (as so much organ jazz from that decade was). For the bop factor, listen especially to the cover of Sonny Rollins' "Airegin," on which Martino in particular shines. Patterson does get in a more soulful mood on his composition "Little Angie," which has an elegiac mood somewhat similar to occasional slow instrumentals cut by Booker T. & the MG's during that period. The other eight songs were issued as the Stitt LP Soul Electricity!, an album that got its name because, for this session, Stitt plugged his alto and tenor saxophones into a Varitone attachment. What came out, though, was not fusion by any means, but a pretty straight-ahead session that found Stitt his usual competent self. The program is actually on the conservative side, leaning toward standards. Stitt's quartet is rounded out by Don Patterson on organ, Billy Butler on guitar, and Billy James on drums. This isn't the most logical package -- Stitt's half is more straight-ahead in flavor and, more importantly, neither album fits too well into the soul-jazz or acid jazz category -- but for fans of either artist, the material is worth hearing. ~ Richie Unterberger

When I Fall in Love by Chris Botti (CD - 09/28/2004)
"When I Fall in Love" (09/28/2004) Jazz Instrument Botti, Chris, Columbia (USA)Personnel: Chris Botti (vocals, trumpet); Chris Botti; Jill Zadeh (vocals); Mitch Dalton (acoustic guitar); Fiona Hibbert (harp); Julian Leaper, Dave Woodcock, Deborah Widdup, Jonathan Evans Jones, Maciej Rakowski, Tom Bowes, Paul Willey, Rolf Wilson, Steve Morris, Roger Garland, Patrick Kiernan, Boguslaw Kostecki, Rita Manning, Kenneth Sillito, Cathy Thompson, Jackie Shave (violin); Ivo Jan Vanderwerff, Vicci Wardman, Edward Vanderspar, George Robertson, Peter Lale, Bruce White (viola); Frank Schaefer, David Daniels , Caroline Dearney, Paul Kegg, Anthony Lewis , Anthony Pleeth (cello); Karen Jones, Helen Keen, Stan Sulzmann, Philip Todd (flute, alto flute); Andy Panayi (bass flute); Nick Rodwell, Anthony Pike (clarinet); Jamie Talbot (bass clarinet, tenor saxophone); David Theodore (oboe); Bob Sheppard (saxophone); Nigel Hitchcock (alto saxophone); John Barclay, Guy Barker, Derek Watkins (trumpet, flugelhorn); Mike Thompson , Richard Bissill, David Pyatt (French horn); Pete Beachill, Mark Nightingale, Richard Edwards (trombone, tenor trombone); Dave Stewart (bass trombone, euphonium); Billy Childs Trio (piano, Fender Rhodes piano); Greg Phillinganes (piano, keyboards); Federico Gonzalez Pe?a, Billy Childs (piano); Brian Bromberg (bass instrument); Patrick Lannigan, Alec Dankworth, Chris Laurence, Mary Scully (double bass); Ralph Salmins (drums); Paula Cole, Sting (vocals); Dean Parks, Dominic Miller, Shane Fontayne (guitar); Gil Goldstein (accordion); Jeff Lorber (keyboards); Billy Kilson, Vinnie Colaiuta (drums); Paulinho Da Costa (percussion). Audio Mixer: Al Schmitt. Recording information: Air Lyndhurst Hall, London, England; Avatar Studio, New York, NY; Capitol studios, Los Angeles, CA; JHL Sound, Los Angeles, CA. Photographer: Fabrizio Ferri. Arrangers: Bobby Colomby; Jeff Lorber; Brian Bromberg; Jeremy Lubbock; Mark Schulman. Although the most popular contemporary jazz tends to fall into the "lite" category, trumpeter Chris Botti avoids painting himself into this corner by sticking with an approach more reminiscent of Chet Baker. For his 2004 album, WHEN I FALL IN LOVE, Botti takes it a step further by employing the London Session Orchestra to provide him with lush accompaniment on a program predominantly made up of standards. The Oregon native adds further layers to the album's sound by calling on singer Paula Cole, whose burnished vocals provide a fine foil on a brush-stroked version of Irving Berlin's "What'll I Do?" and "How Love Should Be," with its subtle mix of piano and strings. Along with exquisite takes on Rodgers & Hart ("My Romance") and the Gershwins ("Someone to Watch Over Me"), Botti also shows a knack for the cinematic nuance of Ennio Morricone ("Cinema Paradiso") and the pop-jazz of Sade ("No Ordinary Love"). The handsome horn player even ropes old employer Sting and bandmates Dominic Miller and Vinnie Colaiuta into lending their talents on the samba-flavored "La Belle Dame Sans Regrets" (composed by Sting and Miller). With its dusky mood, WHEN I FALL IN LOVE serves as the perfect soundtrack for a late-night cocktail party or a romantic evening by the fireplace.

Swiss Radio Days Jazz Series Vol. 13: 1949 Lausanne by Coleman Hawkins (CD - 02/06/2001)
"Swiss Radio Days Jazz Series Vol. 13: 1949 Lausanne" (02/06/2001) Jazz Instrument Hawkins, Coleman, TCB RecordsPersonnel: Coleman Hawkins (tenor saxophone); Kenny Clarke (drums); Herbert Fol (alto saxophone); James Moody (tenor saxophone); Nat Peck (trombone); Jean-Paul Mangeon (piano); Pierre Michelot (bass). Recorded live at Maison De Peuple, Lausanne, Switzerland on December 3, 1949. Includes liner notes by Kurt S. Weil. Personnel: Coleman Hawkins (tenor saxophone); Coleman Hawkins; Jean-Paul Mangeon, Jean-Paul Mengeon (piano); Pierre Michelot (bass guitar); Kenny Clarke (drums); Hubert Fol (alto saxophone); James Moody (tenor saxophone); Nat Peck (trombone). Additional personnel: Kenny Clarke. Liner Note Author: Kurt Weil . Recording information: Maison Du Peuple, Lausanne, Switzerland (12/03/1949). Photographer: Theo Zwicky. There are relatively few live Coleman Hawkins recordings from the 1940s, but this broadcast from a 1949 concert in Lausanne, Switzerland, is a welcome addition to his discography, even if the sound is a bit distorted with surface noise. The big-toned tenor sax giant is heard with a quartet that includes drummer Kenny Clarke, bassist Pierre Michelot, and pianist Jean-Paul Mangeon, including Hawkins' driving "Rifftide" (a reworking of "Oh, Lady be Good") as well as "Stuffy" and another riff tune, "Disorder at the Border." "Sophisticated Lady" is a great ballad feature for Hawkins, and "Body and Soul" was readily expected by audiences after his famous 1939 recording became a landmark. Trombonist Nat Peck, along with alto saxophonist Hubert Fol and tenor saxophonist James Moody, appears on several numbers, but none of them are anywhere near the equal of Coleman Hawkins during this concert. Even with the nagging sound problems, this CD is worth picking up. ~ Ken Dryden

Swing's the Thing/Cool Rage Session by Illinois Jacquet (CD - 04/04/2006)
"Swing's the Thing/Cool Rage Session" (04/04/2006) Jazz Instrument Jacquet, Illinois, LonehillThis is one of several in the complete collection of Illinois Jacquet's recordings issued by Lonehill Jazz. The years covered by the label are from 1956-1966, in which the great saxophonist and bandleader did record somewhat infrequently but issued great performances each time out. And these two dates, one from 1956 (Swing's the Thing) and one from 1958 (The Cool Rage), were issued on 10" vinyl editions, This CD version also contains one bonus track, an alternate version of "Robin's Nest," inexplicably. There are 11 cuts in all, containing over 50 minutes of music. But the magic is in the performances, so to speak with Jacquet, Roy Eldridge, Jo Jones, Herb Ellis, Jimmy Jones and Ray Brown in the party. The latter session features a young Kenny Burrell, Wild Bill Davis on B-3, and Johnny Williams on drums. This is essential Jacquet. ~ Thom Jurek A nice session with prime Roy Eldridge (tpt). ~ Ron Wynn

Ah Via Musicom by Eric Johnson (Guitar 1) (CD - 03/20/1990)
"Ah Via Musicom" (03/20/1990) Jazz Instrument Johnson, Eric (Guitar 1), Capitol/EMI RecordsPersonnel: Eric Johnson (vocals, guitar, lap steel guitar, electric sitar, piano); Steven Hennig (guitar); Wee Willie (harmonica); Steve Barber (synthesizer); Roscoe Beck, Kyle Brock, Reggie Witty (bass); Tommy Taylor (drums); Paul Bissell, James Fenner (percussion); Jody Lazo (background vocals). Recorded between March 1988 and June 1989. After being overlooked on his debut, Tones, guitarist Eric Johnson burst onto the airwaves with the surprising hit "Cliffs of Dover." Armed with excellent chops and a clear tone, Johnson took a tired formula and made it sound fresh again. Despite his talents on the fret board, he plays with great restraint and chose to explore a variety of styles, including rock, pop, blues, country, and jazz. While his singing is not quite as interesting as his guitar playing, it is not obtrusive and is at times quite pleasing. This recording has reached near-classic proportions within the guitar community. ~ Robert Taylor

Time Out [4/11]
"Time Out" (04/11/2006) Jazz Instrument Brubeck, Dave, Legacy RecordingsDave Brubeck Quartet: Dave Brubeck (piano); Paul Desmond (alto saxophone); Eugene Wright (bass); Joe Morello (drums). Recorded at Columbia 30th Street Studios, New York, New York on June 25, July 1 & August 18, 1959. Includes liner notes by Dave Brubeck and Steve Race. Dave Brubeck's TIME OUT ranks alongside Miles Davis' KIND OF BLUE as one of the few advanced jazz masterpieces to achieve great commercial success. In fact, the widespread popularity of TIME OUT, with its cool-toned ambience, smooth style, and elements borrowed from classical music, helped make modern jazz a mainstream phenomenon. The ubiquitous "Take Five" may be overplayed, but that doesn't diminish the joy of its complex melodic hooks, its perfectly executed solos, or the swinging slink of its 5/4 signature. "Blue Rondo a la Turk" collages Mozart, cool swing, and Brubeck's own classically oriented piano style, and the airy, delicate "Everybody's Jumpin'" showcases the lyrical splendor of saxophonist Paul Desmond. With bassist Gene Wright and drummer Joe Morello keeping the tricky rhythms agile and swift, the Dave Brubeck Quartet blended complexity and accessibility for pure jazz pleasure on TIME OUT, an album everyone should own.

In the Zone by Wayman Tisdale (CD - 08/13/1996)
"In the Zone" (08/13/1996) Jazz Instrument Tisdale, Wayman, Mo JazzPersonnel includes: Wayman Tisdale (vocals, bass); Derek "DOA" Allen (vocals, keyboards, drums); Robert Brookins (vocals, keyboards); J.R. Swinga (vocals, keyboards, vocorder, programming); Lalah Hathaway, Big Bub (vocals); Bobby "G" Gonzales, David Cochrane (various instruments); Eddie "M" (alto & tenor saxophones); Alex Alessandroni (piano, strings); Sue Ann Carwell (background vocals). Producers include: Wayman Tisdale, J.R. Swinga, Big Bub. Wayman Tisdale's second album, In the Zone, suffers from the same problems of his debut Power Forward. Although it is evident that Tisdale has affection for smooth urban R&B and jazz fusion, he has just enough skills and instinct to make his music pleasant, but not enough to make it engaging. As a result, In the Zone never rises beyond background music, and like all background music, it sounds fine while it's on, but nothing sticks around after the record is finished. ~ Leo Stanley

Breaking It Up! by Louis Prima & Keely Smith (CD - 10/27/1998)
"Breaking It Up!" (10/27/1998) Jazz Instrument Prima, Louis, Legacy RecordingsReissue producers: Laurence Cohn, Billy Vera. Recorded in New York, New York between 1951 & 1953. Includes liner notes by Billy Vera. All tracks have been digitally remastered. Liner Note Author: Billy Vera. Recording information: New York, NY (10/18/1951-02/18/1953). Photographer: Will Friedwald. In late 1951, Louis Prima was hot on the heels of a comeback success the year before with "Oh Babe!," and a record so big that it spawned numerous cover versions by everyone from Wynonie Harris and Lionel Hampton to Kay Starr and even a Spanish language version by Lalo Guerrero ("Chitas Patas Boogie" on Imperial and used in the movie Zoot Suit with Edward James Olmos). After three follow-ups went nowhere (one of which was the immortal "Zooma Zooma"), Prima came to Columbia Records and was handed over to A&R chief Mitch Miller. And here was part of the problem. Prima's audience liked a cruder Louis and were used to records cut on shoestring budgets with production values that were as raw as the music they framed, while Miller's production was state-of-the-art squeaky-clean. Miller had Prima covering R&B hits of the day ("One Mint Julep") jump blues ("Oooh-Dahdilly-Dah" and one of the few tracks to feature Keely Smith on here), Latin-flavored tunes ("Chili Sauce"), novelty tunes like "Barnacle Bill the Sailor," "Boney Bones," and "It's Good as New (I Painted It Blue)," as well as his patented Italian shuffles like "Eleanor," "Basta," "Luigi," "The Bigger the Figure" and a bombastic version of "Oh Marie" (perhaps the only dud in this entire package), framed in the corniest "Sing Along with Mitch" arrangement imaginable and a million light-years away from his famous Capitol recording of the same tune. This entire set combines all 14 sides of the seven singles issued, plus the addition of "Chop Suey, Chow Mein" along with the original 1958 cover art to Columbia's original issue of this material. Not his best, but an interesting one to add to the collection after you have most of everything else. ~ Cub Koda

California Dreaming by Wes Montgomery (CD)
"California Dreaming" (n/a) Jazz Instrument Montgomery, Wes, Verve (USA)Personnel includes: Wes Montgomery (guitar); Don Sebesky (arranger, conductor); Jack Jennings (vibraphone, percussion); Herbie Hancock (piano); Al Casamenti, Buck Pizzarelli (guitar); Richard Davis (bass); Grady Tate (drums); Ray Baretto (percussion). Recorded at Van Gelder Studios, Englewood Cliffs, New Jeresy on Sepetmber 14-16, 1966. As Wes Montgomery sailed into ever-poppier waters towards the end of his career, two things remained constant: he kept writing and including original tunes on his albums, and he kept playing and including the blues in one shade or another. Thus, on CALIFORNIA DREAMING, another big band-orchestrated Verve album, we get "Sun Down," a six-minute original blues, cut for the most part with just the first-call rhythm section of Herbie Hancock, Richard Davis, Grady Tate and Ray Baretto. The other original, "Mr. Walker," is just as cooking, and dates from Montgomery's second Riverside album, the aptly titled INCREDIBLE JAZZ GUITAR OF WES MONTGOMERY. CALIFORNIA DREAMING, unlike BUMPIN', emphasizes groove tunes over ballads, and keeps the pop challenges to a minimum. It's not the relentless cooking of SMOKIN' AT THE HALF NOTE, or the aforementioned INCREDIBLE JAZZ GUITAR, but it's solid Montgomery nonetheless.

Carnegie Hall Concert by Gerry Mulligan (CD - 04/28/1987)
"Carnegie Hall Concert" (04/28/1987) Jazz Instrument Mulligan, Gerry, Legacy RecordingsCARNEGIE HALL CONCERT is a compilation of material from the original CTI releases: "Carnegie Hall Concerts, Volume 1 & 2". Personnel includes: Chet Baker (trumpet); Gerry Mulligan (saxophone); Dave Samuels (vibraphone); Bob James (keyboards); John Scofield (guitar); Ron Carter (bass); Harvey Mason (drums). Personnel includes: Chet Baker (trumpet); Gerry Mulligan (baritone saxophone); Bob James (keyboards); John Scofield (guitar); Ron Carter (bass); Harvey Mason (drums). Recorded live at Carnegie Hall, New York, November 24, 1974. Master Sound releases are 24-karat gold CDs remastered from first-generation masters. This process utilizes 20-bit technology and Sony's "Super Bit Mapping" system. This 1974 release finds Gerry Mulligan and Chet Baker together in a live setting. The two jazz paragons hadn't worked together in 10 years, but from the first downbeat it's evident that they still possess the musical rapport they'd developed as young men. Taking the West Coast by storm 22 years earlier with their famed pianoless quartet, Mulligan and Baker had the keen ability to work almost as one performer. This is clearly evident on "Bernie's Tune," where they trade licks on the tune's bridge in articulate, fluid gestures, almost as one player. Despite their substance abuse, Baker and Mulligan grew as improvisers over many years performing on concert stages and in jazz clubs. This album is testament to their ability to adapt and embrace modern jazz stylings. When they hark back to their roots on compositions such as "My Funny Valentine" and "Line For Lyons," they play with a kind of casual, relaxed swing indicative of the '50s cool jazz feel they helped create.
