Herbie Hancock: Head Hunters
by Aaron Basiliere
While Sextant (Columbia, 1973) found keyboardist Herbie Hancock dabbling in the electronic soundscapes of the emerging jazz-fusion movement which gained him notoriety as a fusion impressionist aficionado, it was Head Hunters (Columbia, 1973) that propelled him out of the smoky jazz clubs and into the wide-open spaces of arena-rock stardom. Along for the ride is Hancock's ...
Dave Brubeck: Jazz Goes to College
by Samuel Chell
It's out again, and affordable. But shame on Sony/Columbia for ignoring this essential recording for twenty years, resulting in prohibitive collectors' prices. This was Brubeck-Desmond's greatest period, before the comparatively sterile, more formulaic studio albums, including Time Out (Columbia, 1959). And shame on those (including this writer) who ever dismissed this recording as too white, too ...
Frank Sinatra: A Voice In Time (1939-1952)
by David Rickert
Eventually we are all forced to realize that, no matter who we are, we will never be as cool as Sinatra. A Voice In Time, a four-CD box set that captures the period from 1939-1952, helps to show why. While these are not his most well-known recordings--and arguably his best recordings came immediately after this period, ...

Tony Bennett: Snowfall The Tony Bennett Christmas Album
by Andrew Velez
There are those very rare singers who become, what Duke Ellington said of Ella Fitzgerald, “beyond category. Labels like pop or jazz singer become irrelevant, and such is the case with Tony Bennett. Even when he sings a blues tune there's a buoyant optimism which suffuses all of his work. With these holiday classics it's as ...
Billie Holiday: Lady Day - The Master Takes and Singles
by David Rickert
Billie Holiday Lady Day - The Master Takes And Singles Columbia Records 2007 It's fitting that singer Billie Holiday began the most celebrated part of her career with Columbia in 1933, when the country was in the throes of the depression, and ended it in 1942, when the ...
Chris Botti: Italia
by Adela M. Brito
Trumpeter Chris Botti's interpretations are thoughtful and his original compositions impressive. He's smooth without actually being in the Smooth Jazz category. He improvises, and has a touch of Miles, but doesn't go on at great length. He's in a genre all his own, and that's what makes him so remarkable. Italia ...
