Jack McDuff: Brotherly Love
by AAJ Staff
Brotherly Love would have been one of those feel-good Jack McDuff albums that reunites some of his early collaborators and some of the musicians he helped train (dozens of them!)...were it not his last album.Instead, Brotherly Love takes on a double meaning: a reference to the Philadelphians who join him on the album (Pat ...
New York Voices: Sing! Sing! Sing!
by AAJ Staff
After recording a lively and well-received series of albums on GRP and then RCA Victor, New York Voices now is recording on Concord. Consistent with that label's tradition for straight-ahead jazz and with the New York Voices' animated interpretations of standards--as well as unpredictable projects like the songs of Paul Simon-- Sing! Sing! Sing! merges both ...
Karrin Allyson: Ballads: Remembering John Coltrane
by AAJ Staff
After 20 years of working as a singer originally in Minneapolis and primarily in Kansas City, Karrin Allyson has recorded the album her fans have awaited--the album that no doubt will expand her recognition beyond those listeners who have savored her work as almost a private find.

Karrin Allyson: Ballads - Remembering John Coltrane
by Jim Santella
"Naima" and two other ballads that John Coltrane recorded have been appended to the program line-up borrowed from his 1960-61 album Ballads.

Kenny Burrell: Lucky So And So
by AAJ Staff
As one of the premier jazz guitarists--and in the estimation of many, as the premier jazz guitarist by virtue of technique, output and memorable recordings--Kenny Burrell has created work heard, analyzed, transcribed, taught and enjoyed by legions of educators and aspiring guitarists. Epitomizing exquisite taste on his instrument-whether in an easy swing, balladic sensitivity or a ...
Chick Corea Trio: Past, Present & Futures
by AAJ Staff
As Chick Corea, restless and creative as ever, continues to forge ahead with new musical ideas and new ensemble configurations, he has basically taken his Origin group and reduced it to its percussive core of the basic piano trio. But Corea’s music remains distinctive as always, and his new trio can’t really be mistaken for another.
Scott Hamilton: Jazz Signatures
by AAJ Staff
Continuing in his quarter-century tenure with Concord Records, Scott Hamilton is still finding fresh concepts for presenting his pre-bop tenor sax sound that went against the grain of the fusion groups when he first started recording. Taking his cue from masters like Ben Webster or Don Byas, rather than Wayne Shorter, Hamilton continued their pioneering tradition ...
