Oscar Peterson: Birth of A Legend: Oscar Peterson Historic Carnegie Hall Concerts

by David Rickert
December 12, 2006

Legend has it that Norman Granz wanted to introduce Oscar Peterson to America through his Carnegie Hall concerts, but the Canadian citizen couldn't obtain a work visa to allow him to appear. So Granz planted him in the audience and asked him to appear on stage with bassist Ray Brown for a set. The pianist wowed ...

Tal Farlow: Tal Farlow Guitar Genius: The LA Sessions

by Nic Jones
November 27, 2006

The word “genius" is used far too much, but Guitar Genius is an apposite term for a performance by Tal Farlow, and its use is fully justified with regards to this two-disc set.

If indeed Dizzy did dig Paris, then the opposite was also true, and the Parisians who were at the Salle Pleyel in February of 1953 made that abundantly obvious in their responses to the music. They knew what it was all about. They were witnessing one of the greats in any field of music, the yin ...

Jimmy Giuffre: Cool One

by Nic Jones
September 12, 2006

Within the archetypal West Coast sound, Jimmy Giuffre always had his own thing going on, and in the case of both The Four Brothers Sound (Atlantic) and Tangents In Jazz (Capitol), the two dates brought together here from the mid-1950s, that point seems obvious. He was of course a tenor saxophonist every bit as influenced by ...
