John Coltrane (JVC xrcd2 0202-2: Settin' the Pace

Read "Settin' the Pace" reviewed by Justin Gawaziuk

by Justin Gawaziuk

The rhythm section here has appeared with on several Prestige releases as the Red Garland Trio. Both Garland and Chambers have played with Coltrane in the Miles Davis Quintet, and Art Taylor did some work with Davis as well. There exists some comfort in the homogeneity of the orchestration in all these groups. Listening to the ...

Andy Bey & the Bey Sisters: Andy Bey & the Bey Sisters

Read "Andy Bey & the Bey Sisters" reviewed by Mathew Bahl

by Mathew Bahl

Andy Bey's two rapturously received late '90s CDs, Ballads, Blues & Bey and Shades of Bey, were seen as something of a reinvention for the singer/pianist whose work over the previous 25 years, nearly all as a guest vocalist on other artists' albums, had been more than a little on the esoteric side.

Collections of his work abound and a primary reason for this was the prolific pace he set with the Prestige label (one of many now under the Fantasy umbrella) for nearly a quarter century and waxed sessions ...

Willis Jackson: Livin' Large

Read "Livin' Large" reviewed by Derek Taylor

by Derek Taylor

In decades past making the transition from the so-called ‘bar-walking’ minor leagues to Majors of ‘legitimate’ jazz was a feat many saxophonists attempted but few accomplished. So much so that the visage of the honking, R&B tenor man is still regarded with scorn by many ‘serious’ jazz musicians and particularly critics. When the Chitlin Circuit (the ...

Johnny "Hammond" Smith: The Soulful Blues

Read "The Soulful Blues" reviewed by Derek Taylor

by Derek Taylor

Smith was one of many in a long line of second tier Soul Jazz organists that flourished during the instrument’s stratospheric ascendancy during the 1960s. Appropriately titled, this disc delves generously into two sides of Smith’s oeuvre. The first session focuses prominently on Soul and R&B hits from the era touching on the songbooks of Ben ...
