Candido Camero Candido Verve These three discs, featuring two venerable Cuban conga kings, document very different realms of AfroCuban music. The earliest recording, Candido Camero's 1956 date, Candido is one of the first Latino led cubop albums for an American label. Candido, who replaced Chano Pozo in Dizzy Gillespie's Orchestra and went ...
"Best of" Series, Round 2
by C. Michael Bailey
Perhaps inevitably, The Fantasy Jazz Empire is repackaging its extensive product yet again—and this is a good thing. It is collections exactly like these that I would suggest to novices who want exposure to certain artists or styles. The six releases below are just the more recent in this current release program (see Part 1 ). ...

Bill Mays: Going Home & On The Road Again
by Elliott Simon
Well traveled pianist Bill Mays has chosen to pay respect to the two disparate but coexisting worlds of the working musician: home and the road. For Mays and his top trio, which consists of drummer Matt Wilson and bassist Martin Wind, Going Home can mean different things while On the Road Again teams him with guitarist ...
Ian Hendrickson-Smith: Smokin' at Smoke
by Elliott Simon
Live recordings tend to be from established leaders who are either stretching out previously released studio performances or making a new statement. However, the young altoist, Ian Hendrickson-Smith, has not only chosen to debut as a leader through a live recording but has also continued in this vein for his sophomore offering. A regular at NYC's ...
Pearls from the Sea
by Dr. Judith Schlesinger
One of the advantages of a jazz cruise--aside from the glorious musical saturation, the food, the balmy weather, the food, the comraderie, relaxation, and food--is being able to get CDs directly from the performers. You might be enjoying their music for the first time, and now you don't have to hunt for it: there are designated ...

Canaries: Peggy Lee and Anita O'Day Reissues
by David Rickert
Peggy Lee Black Coffee Verve 2004 (1956) “A Woman Alone With the Blues" features sparse piano, whispering drums, and a mournful trumpet lurking in the background. But it's the vocals that really push it over the edge. Peggy Lee doesn't sing this song; she crawls into it and huddles in ...
The Best of Prestige Records
by Doug Collette
With their cover graphics and CD booklet design uniformly simple, and perhaps, unadorned to a fault, Prestige's Best of... series nevertheless speaks volumes by dint of the music contained on the discs themselves. The West Coast counterpart to Blue Note's New York subsidization of the jazz art form, Prestige's significant contribution becomes clear as you read ...
