Michael Brecker: Tales From the Hudson
by Dave Hughes
In the crowded field of excellent tenor players, Michael Brecker rises to the top of my list. I think the thing that gives Brecker an edge over the others is the fact that he is a master of so many genres of jazz. Many people are no doubt familiar with the electric, funky side of Michael ...
John Coltrane: Meditations
by Robert Spencer
This is it, friends: the last recording (November 23, 1965) McCoy Tyner and Elvin Jones made with John Coltrane. One need only turn from this to The Real McCoy or any other McCoy Tyner or Elvin Jones album of the period to get a clue as to why they left the “classic quartet." In the first ...
John Coltrane: The John Coltrane Quartet Plays
by Robert Spencer
“Chim Chim Cheree”? Sure. The guy has a hit with “My Favorite Things,” and some record company executive with gold chains sticking out of his chest hairs says, “Johnny! We love this far out stuff, this ‘Chasin’ the Trane’ stuff. Beautiful. You’re a spiritual cat, you know, Trane (may I call you Trane)? And I respect ...
Coleman Hawkins: Desafinado - Coleman Hawkins Plays Bossa Nova & Jazz Samba
by AAJ Staff
One of the great albatrosses around the neck of the recording industry has been the forced recording of ill-conceived “novelty" recordings. As far back as recorded music goes, artists have been forced, cajoled, and manipulated into making recordings that some marketing genius decided would “cash in" on a fad or hot idea. Often, ...

John Coltrane: Live at the Village Vanguard Again!
by Robert Spencer
Live at the Village Vanguard, was one of John Coltrane's most successful and controversial albums. It was one of the first by the “classic quartet," and contained a boffo guest appearance by Eric Dolphy on the magnificent “Spiritual." This isn't it. Five years after that triumph, Coltrane returned to the Vanguard with his New Thing quintet, ...
Charles Mingus: The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady
by Robert Spencer
Some Mingus albums are like a tremendous three-ring circus. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll be struck with awe and delight. The music is absorbing, intense, harrowing, beautiful. Drop everything and run to the show, and don't expect to get anything else done at the same time: this is about as far from background music as it ...
John Coltrane: Coltrane Live At Birdland
by AAJ Staff
Critics have proclaimed John Coltrane as one of the most influential jazz musicians, one of the greatest innovators AND saxophonists of all time. Noted jazz critic Ira Gitler once described Coltrane's music as “sheets of sound." All very true statements from (mostly) well-respected individuals. My personal favorite era of the John Coltrane Sound features arguably the ...
John Coltrane: A Love Supreme
by Robert Spencer
Although this disc is relatively new in its packaging and 20-bit format, it enjoyed a popular run previously as one of the first Impulse CD reissues. The latest re-release is an attractive treatment: the original (first-rate) cover art is restored, the sound is markedly better, and John Coltrane's liner letter and poem are in a readable ...
