Sketches of James: Selections from the James Taylor Songbook
Label: KOCH International Jazz
Released: 2001
Track listing: Unfortunately, the song order on the CD bears no resemblance to the sequence listed on the booklet and back card - that's quite annoying. Here is the correct song sequence: Your Smiling Face (Gerald Albright); New Tune (Oscar Castro-Neves); Something in the Way She Moves (Mitchel Forman Trio); Nobody But You (Les McCann); Secret O'Life (Shirley Horn); Only a Dream in Rio (Flora Purim and Airto Moreira); Fire and Rain (Poncho Sanchez' Latin Jazz Band); You Make It Easy (Robben Ford); Steamroller (Tower of Power); Long Ago and Far Away (New York Voices).

Wayne Shorter: Introducing Wayne Shorter

by C. Michael Bailey
The Beginning of something beautiful. Koch Jazz is beginning to release a good bit of the old Vee Jay catalog. Preceding this release was Bill Henderson's His Complete Vee Jay Recordings (Koch Jazz). Now it appears that Koch Jazz is to compete with the recent Mosaic box highlighting Wayne Shorter ( The Complete Vee Jay Lee ...
Nancy Marano / Manny Albam: If You Could See Us Now

by Jack Bowers
There may be better Jazz singers than Nancy Marano (that’s wholly subjective), but there aren’t many who are better equipped (that’s a fact). Marano has a perfectly lovely voice and knows how to use it, as she shows time and again on If You Could See Us Now! It’s enormously helpful, of course, to have wonderful ...
Harry Allen: Christmas in Swingtime

by Jack Bowers
Although it was recorded in New York City, the liner notes for this splendid holiday release by tenor saxophonist Harry Allen are in Japanese, an indication that it was not necessarily aimed at a domestic audience but one that is somewhat farther east. What’s more, the copy I have is on the BMG label while the ...
Jeanie Bryson: Deja Blue

by Dave Nathan
For her 4th album, Jeanie Bryson has moved from Telarc label to Koch which has provided a more comfortable framework for her calm, but often sensual, vocal style. Too long seen - - and unfairly so - - as a Peggy Lee clone, she comes into her own on this album. No doubt, there is a ...
Jeanie Bryson: Deja Blue

by Jim Santella
One of today's top jazz singers, Jeanie Bryson delivers convincingly with down-home expression. Lucid lyrics, comfortable phrasing, and mellow harmony make her session easy to like. Her warm, seductive style continues to recall Peggy Lee. Jazz & blues, swing & cabaret, R&B and pop " she's a natural for all aspects of vocal music. Bryson's fourth ...
Buddy DeFranco: Blues Bag

by AAJ Staff
Blues Bag was originally released as Veejay 2506 (thank you, Koch, for providing this data plus the players on the outside of the package). The excellent mainstream clarinetist DeFranco plays only bass clarinet here. The sidemen include a collection of masters: Art Blakey, Lee Morgan, Curtis Fuller, Victor Feldman, Freddie Hill, and Victor Sproles. This disc ...
V/A: Sketches of James
by Matthew S. Robinson
Fitting somewhere between the classical tributes to prog-rock, the Us3/Guru’s Jazzmatazz borrowings and Producer Tim Weston’s previous tribute to Brian Wilson, this collection of ten interpretations of one of the most beloved songwriters of our time flies all over the greater jazz spectrum while keeping its Taylored center. Kickin’ it open is Tower of Power, whose ...
