Grant Green: Retrospective

Read "Retrospective" reviewed by Scott Morrow

by Scott Morrow

About five years ago, I heard guitarist Grant Green's "Ain't it Funky Now," a burnin' J.B. cover on Blue and Funky , a various artists Hammond organ compilation from Blue Note. I’d never heard anything like his honest, cutting tone – it rocked and funked like crazy. I hadn’t purchased much jazz, other than Miles and ...

Grant Green: Retrospective 1961-1966

Read "Retrospective 1961-1966" reviewed by C. Andrew Hovan

by C. Andrew Hovan

While the history books will more than likely survey the lineage of jazz guitar by focusing on such technically dazzling plectrists as Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass, and Kenny Burrell, a wider view with a focus on peripheral talents will likely support the fact that instrumental proficiency is but a mere part of the overall success of ...

Jackie McLean: Jacknife

Read "Jacknife" reviewed by Robert Gilbert

by Robert Gilbert

In a string of Blue Note albums during the 1960s, alto saxophonist Jackie McLean documented his efforts to incorporate elements of the Avant-garde with his own brand of mainstream jazz. Starting with Let Freedom Ring, McLean embraced modality and wasn’t sheepish to use honks and squeaks in his solos. This 1965 session, newly reissued as part ...

Nat King Cole: The Definitive Nat "King" Cole

Read "The Definitive Nat "King" Cole" reviewed by Jim Santella

by Jim Santella

Most of this superb collection features Nat King Cole in the role that he knew first: jazz pianist with a small ensemble playing instrumental favorites with a creative swing. Recorded in Los Angeles between July 1942 and August 1947, the songs come from an expressive pianist who knows the true value of a few complementary partners ...

Greg Osby: Symbols of Light (A Solution)

Read "Symbols of Light (A Solution)" reviewed by AAJ Staff

by AAJ Staff

I love any kind of string-driven thing. From guitars to fiddles...it’s all good. So I was pleasantly surprised to find this alto player accompanied by his rhythm section and a spry string quartet. Saxophonist Greg Osby puts together a unique gathering of sounds as he harnesses (or is it – unleashes) seven musicians of quality and ...
