Thelonious Monk: Monk In Tokyo
by Jim Santella
Recorded May 21, 1963, this two-disc reissue represents classic Monk. Adventurous in his creative interplay with Charlie Rouse, Thelonious Monk wove lines that turned unexpectedly time and again. On his way to worldwide acclaim, Monk was already there musically. The 24-bit digitally remastered sound on this collection brings every nuance to the listener: clear as a ...

Esbjorn Svensson Trio: Somewhere Else Before
by David Adler
A few weeks ago, the New York Times ran a big article by Stuart Nicholson on the “new European jazz." The article spotlighted jazzers from overseas like Nils Petter Molvaer, “Magic" Malik Mezzadri, Bugge Wesseltoft, and Eivind Aarset (the article didn't mention Erik Truffaz)--artists who are blending acoustic jazz with turntables, drum-n-bass beats, and/or other club-culture ...
Thelonious Monk: Live at The Jazz Workshop
by AAJ Staff
Columbia Legacy Jazz recordings, the reissue department of Columbia Jazz, has seriously upped the ante on documenting Thelonious Monk's Columbia work with two more fine, fine Monk reissues. As those may be familiar, Columbia re- released both Monk: Live at the It Club, and Monk Alone (solo piano)- within the past three years. Now come these ...
Thelonious Monk: Live At The Jazz Workshop
by Jim Santella
In the same year that Thelonious Monk appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, he recorded several live sessions for Columbia. This 2-CD set features two and a half hours at San Francisco’s Jazz Workshop, recorded November 3rd and 4th, 1964 with his working quartet. Nearly half the reissue consists of previously unreleased material. The rest, ...
Miles Davis: The Complete In A Silent Way Sessions
by Todd S. Jenkins
Another Miles classic re-excavated with grand results. In A Silent Way was an astonishing step further towards a fusion of jazz and rock for Miles Davis, and for jazz in general, when it was released in 1969. The acoustic instruments of Davis, Wayne Shorter, Dave Holland and Tony Williams were combined with John McLaughlin’s electric guitar, ...
Thelonious Monk: The Columbia Years (1962-1968)
by Jim Santella
The first thing you notice about Monk is the clipped phrases and unexpected turns in his compositions. With Charlie Rouse and above average rhythm sidemen, Thelonious Monk always turned heads. This three-disc compilation includes his familiar compositions as well as those not quite so familiar. They’re all fascinating and worthy of dedicated study. Disc One centers ...
The Dave Brubeck Quartet: Jazz: Red Hot And Cool
by Jim Santella
The “red hot" in the title comes from this album's cover photograph. A lovely model with bright red attire worked with Dave Brubeck and Paul Desmond to provide the visual nightclub perspective. The “cool," of course, comes from the quartet's music. Recorded at Basin Street in New York at three dates in 1954 and '55, The ...
Miles Davis: Jazz at the Plaza
by AAJ Staff
Partying at the Plaza! That’s what the Miles Davis Sextet was doing in the late summer of 1958--celebrating the success, popularity, and ubiquity of Jazz music. This set captures the exuberance and creativity of one of Jazz’s great outfits during this highpoint for improvised music. On this set, the Miles Davis Sextet ...
Miles Davis: Big Fun
by Todd S. Jenkins
One of the less-remembered, underappreciated releases in Miles’ discography, revamped for the new century and ready to open some ears. A few months after the Bitches Brew sessions that broke jazz-rock out like Phoenix from the flames, Miles Davis returned to the Columbia recording studios with the intent to push his music in yet another startling ...
