Burton Greene: Ins and Outs; Signs of the Times; Retrospective 1961-2005: Solo Piano (August 18, 2005)

by Clifford Allen
July 13, 2007

The era that ushered in free jazz was perhaps marked more greatly by hornmen than by the pianists. Chicago-born pianist Burton Greene, who came to prominence on three 1966 ESP recordings, seems to have been given a bit of short shrift in the history books, mostly because until the last decade or so a significant amount ...

Dizzy Gillespie: Night in Tunisia: The Very Best of Dizzy Gillespie

Read "Night in Tunisia: The Very Best of Dizzy Gillespie" reviewed by Francis Lo Kee

by Francis Lo Kee
July 13, 2007

It's quite a stretch to call this CD the very best, since all of the music was recorded between 1946 and 1949. Dizzy Gillespie (1917-1993) was one of the leaders of bebop but also forged an important and unshakable relationship between jazz and Afro-Cuban music that lasts to this day. His recording career spans more than ...

David S. Ware Quartet: Renunciation

Read "Renunciation" reviewed by Jeff Stockton

by Jeff Stockton
July 12, 2007

Billed as the final US performance of the David S. Ware Quartet, Renunciation was recorded live at the 2006 Vision Festival and arrives as something like the final episode of The Sopranos: having been an important part of our lives for so long, fans hate to see them go. But deep down, we know it's time. ...

Louis Armstrong: Louis Armstrong In Scandinavia

Read "Louis Armstrong In Scandinavia" reviewed by Andrew Velez

by Andrew Velez
July 12, 2007

Throughout this collection of Louis Armstrong's Scandinavian appearances from 1933-1967, he's greeted with affectionate roars of excitement from his audiences. Six live performances included here from 1933 in Stockholm and Copenhagen may actually be the earliest ever recorded live jazz.
