Trudy Desmond: A Dream Come True

Read "A Dream Come True" reviewed by Jim Santella

This compilation gives us the best of Trudy Desmond through excerpts from RSVP (1988), Tailor Made (1991), Make Me Rainbows (1995), and My ...

Dizzy Gillespie: Salt Peanuts

Read "Salt Peanuts" reviewed by Terrell Kent Holmes


Ted Williams could go one for four. Maria Callas wasn't always in perfect voice. Words sometimes failed Hemingway. Even legends have normal days.

Dizzy Gillespie: Salt Peanuts

Read "Salt Peanuts" reviewed by Jim Santella


Dizzy Gillespie, the remarkable trumpeter who helped pioneer bebop in the 1940s with his magnetic presence, was 64 when these recordings were captured at The Rising Sun Celebrity Jazz Club in Montreal. While not his best work, these intimate July 1981 sessions manage to capture the lovable artist at work, passing the mainstream jazz torch on ...

Oscar Peterson Trio: Vancouver, 1958

Read "Vancouver, 1958" reviewed by AAJ Staff


Vancouver, 1958, a sequel to last year's Tenderly, documents a live performance toward the end of the lifespan of the early Peterson/Ellis/Brown trio, displaying the same patient warmth, outrageous swing, calculated calm, and lightning flashes that have always been essential to the Peterson sound.Some say Oscar Peterson is just a (highly capable) mechanic, and ...
