Apple's Paradise Big Band: Live
by Jack Bowers
Not much is known about Apple’s Paradise aside from the fact that it is located somewhere in or around Berikon, Switzerland. One thing that can be noted with assurance is that this Paradise is home to a moderately well–endowed contemporary big band (amateur division) led by Kuno Heer. Even though this brief (37:40) example of its ...
Brussels Jazz Orchestra: Live
by Jack Bowers
Although Belgium doesn’t leap readily to mind when the conversation turns to hotbeds of Jazz, that country has produced a handful of outstanding Jazz musicians — Toots Thielemans, Bobby Jaspar and a few others — and boasts at least one world–class big band, the Brussels Jazz Orchestra. On Live, recorded in May ’97, the BJO performs ...

Live was recorded ...

Having witnessed an Earland performance around the time this CD was recorded, I can certify that the man is an indefatigable performer with a very tight band.This ...
Gene Harris and the Philip Morris All-Stars: Live
by C. Michael Bailey
Good News/Bad News. The editors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz on CD, LP & Cassette sum up Gene Harris' craft by stating that, “Harris is always going to end up making the same record, but so far it still sounds pretty good". I agree. Gene Harris, Ray Bryant, Junior Mance, and Monty Alexander all play ...
