"A Smooth Jazz Christmas [BMG Special Products]" (09/01/2003) Jazz Instrument Various Artists, BMG Special ProductsSmooth Jazz Christmas features a variety of smooth jazz artists performing holiday songs. Featured artists include Spyro Gyra ("Feliz Navidad"), Etta James ("Please Come Home for Christmas"), Jeffrey Osborne ("This Christmas"), and Tom Scott ("Gift of Your Love"), along with six others. This is a rather adventurous holiday collection, featuring somewhat obscure songs like "This Christmas" and self-penned songs like Chieli Minucci's "Magic." Furthermore, the artists take liberties when performing the songs, exploring the possibilities of the jazz idiom. Smooth Jazz Christmas should please anyone who can appreciate the more sedate and refined side of jazz. ~ Jason Birchmeier

"Art Pepper Meets the Rhythm Section" (07/01/1991) Jazz Instrument Pepper, Art, Original Jazz ClassicsPersonnel: Art Pepper (alto saxophone); Red Garland (piano); Paul Chambers (acoustic bass); Philly Joe Jones (drums). Recorded at Contemporary's Studio, Los Angeles, California on January 19, 1957. Originally released on Contemporary (7532). Includes liner notes by Lester Koenig. Personnel: Art Pepper (alto saxophone); Art Pepper; Paul Chambers (bass instrument); Red Garland (piano); Philly Joe Jones (drums). Audio Remasterer: Phil DeLancie. Liner Note Author: Lester Koenig. Recording information: Contemporary Studio, Los Angeles, CA (01/19/1957); Contemporary's Studio, Los Angeles, CA (01/19/1957). Photographer: William Claxton. Unknown Contributor Roles: Red Garland; Paul Chambers; Philly Joe Jones. In the 1950s, Miles Davis assembled one of the premier rhythm sections in jazz. His pre-Bill Evans group, consisting of pianist Red Garland, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Philly Joe Jones (heard on such albums as ROUND ABOUT MIDNIGHT and MILESTONES) was hard to beat. The way they performed together was remarkable, at once musically conversational and nearly telepathic in their collective thinking. On this unusual '57 outing, "West Coast cool" alto saxophonist Art Pepper teams up with these great rhythm players. The result is a seamless match of styles and approaches that showcases the skills of all four master musicians. Highlights include the burning-fast Pepper original "Straight Life" and the endearing "Red Pepper Blues," a tune composed by Red Garland just five hours prior to the recording session.

The group's songs usually contained catchy melodies, prominent backbeats, and some room for improvisational expression, although it was limited and required quick bursts rather than expansive statements. They were and still are near the top in the light jazz and fusion field. ~ Ron Wynn

This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.

Recorded in New York, New York on February 19, 1959. Originally released on Riverside (1142). Wynton Kelly Trio & Sextet: Bobby Jaspar (flute); Benny Golson (tenor saxophone); Nat Adderley (cornet); Wynton Kelly (piano); Paul Chambers (bass instrument); Jimmy Cobb (drums). Liner Note Author: Orrin Keepnews. Jazz is ultimately based on the blues, or "blue notes." Consequently, KELLY BLUE couldn't be a more fitting play on words to describe pianist Wynton Kelly, an extremely bluesy jazz musician. His originals "Old Clothes" and "Kelly Blue" are both straight-up blues tunes. These tracks are carefree and bouncy, and Kelly plays exciting, colorful solos on both. Like any good jazz pianist, Kelly uses accents to create the needed syncopation in the music. But his punchy, almost percussive approach gives his solos even more dimension, power, and forward momentum. "Green Dolphin Street" is another excellent track, where Kelly swings effortlessly, due in part to the fabulous rhythm section of Paul Chambers and Jimmy Cobb. Kelly's solo here has a superb ebb and flow. His snaky runs up and down the keyboard make this one of the album's true highlights. The horn players all keep pace with Kelly too. Tenor saxophonist Benny Golson is especially adroit, and plays some terrific solos on the title track and "Keep it Moving." Jazz is ultimately based on the blues, or "blue notes."

"The Incredible Jazz Guitar of Wes Montgomery [Remaster]" (09/01/1991) Jazz Instrument Montgomery, Wes, Riverside Records (Jazz)Personnel: Wes Montgomery (guitar); Tommy Flanagan (piano); Percy Heath (bass); Albert Heath (drums). Recorded at Reeves Sound Studios, New York, New York on January 26 and 28, 1960. Originally released on Riverside (9320). Includes original release liner notes by Orrin Keepnews. Personnel: Wes Montgomery (guitar); Tommy Flanagan (piano); Percy Heath (upright bass); Albert Heath (drums). John "Wes" Montgomery taught himself to play at the age of nineteen and created a style as influential to jazz guitar as was Charlie Christian's to an earlier generation. Recorded in the early part of his solo career, THE INCREDIBLE JAZZ GUITAR OF WES MONTGOMERY defined standards for hard bop guitar which are as cogent today as they were in 1960. The album jumps out with the quartet hustling through Sonny Rollins' "Airegin," where Wes performs his often imitated licks with grace and agility. His extended phrases, thematic development, harmonic and melodic embellishment come together in a formidable technique with a heavy swing. An impressive use of octaves and chords coupled with the rejection of a guitar pick in favor of his own thumb allowed Wes' guitar to sing with warmth and with beauty. The lyrical rendition of "Polka Dots And Moonbeams" and his own "D-Natural Blues" are prime examples of the fullness of his lines. To this day, whenever a guitarist uses octaves he runs the risk of comparison to Wes, such was his mastery of this technique. Another aspect of his legacy is the compositions. Since their appearance on this album, "Four On Six" and "West Coast Blues" have become standard jazz repertoire. Yet to remain in awe merely of his approach is to miss the point of what he has to say. Montgomery's technique served only to express the emotions and inspirations born from the depths of his soul. From the strings of his guitar, through all the amplifiers, tapes and speakers, what shines through is Wes' heart and a style without which there wouldn't be players like Pat Martino, Kevin Eubanks and Mark Whitfield today.

"Music of the War Years, Vol. 2: Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" (12/01/1995) Jazz Instrument Various Artists, EMI-Capitol Special MarketsMusic of the War Years, Vol. 2: Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy is an entertaining, 12-track budget-line sampler of pop hits from World War II. Of course, the Andrews Sisters' hit is here, but so is Jo Stafford's "Long Ago (And Far Away)," Johnny Mercer's "G.I. Jive," Harry James' "I've Heard That Song Before," Stan Kenton's "And Her Tears Flowed Like Wine" and the Pied Pipers' "The Trolly Song," as well as lesser-known gems like "Ella Mae Morse." It may not be more than a sampler, but it's a fun one. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
