Eddie Daniels: Mean What You Say

Read "Mean What You Say" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan


Reedman Eddie Daniels, best known as a virtuosic clarinetist who crosses the borders between jazz and classical, offers up his first straight-ahead jazz set in a decade on Mean What You Say. It's a classic sound: tenor sax and clarinet backed by an understated but stellar rhythm team comprised of the venerable Hank Jones (piano), Richard ...

Various Artists: One More: Music of Thad Jones

Read "One More: Music of Thad Jones" reviewed by Jack Bowers


The term “all-star is used often these days to describe many groups, some of which even deserve the label. One More (which could be the name of this eight-member co-op or the album itself; your guess is as good as mine) doesn't call itself an all-star ensemble, but it could. Hank Jones, James Moody, Frank Wess, ...

Various Artists: One More: Music of Thad Jones

Read "One More: Music of Thad Jones" reviewed by Craig Jolley


An outstanding crop of big band leaders/composers emerged during the 1960s, including Clare Fischer, Thad Jones, Gary McFarland, Ladd McIntosh, Oliver Nelson, and other notables. Jones eventually established his preeminence, in part because he was able to keep a band together and get his music heard. Beyond that, his compositions are brilliant and drenched in the ...

Read "I Was There: Roger Kellaway Plays from the Bobby Darin Songbook" reviewed by Craig Jolley


In case there is any doubt, this is an authentic Roger Kellaway recording, which is to say it is a musical event. I Was There was produced to coincide with the recent Bobby Darin film biography Beyond the Sea, a project in which Kellaway served as vocal coach for its star, Kevin Spacey. Rather than somehow ...

Roger Kellaway: I Was There: Roger Kellaway Plays from the Bobby Darin Songbook

Read "I Was There: Roger Kellaway Plays from the Bobby Darin Songbook" reviewed by J. Robert Bragonier


I must confess that I have never cultivated much knowledge about or particular interest in the singing of Bobby Darin. On the other hand, I am most interested in Roger Kellaway, the mention of whose name instantly pricks up my ears. Kellaway is a pianist and composer as phenomenally talented as he is under-recognized. After playing ...
