John Coltrane (JVC xrcd2 0202-2: Settin' the Pace
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
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. However, Prestige's current ...
Willis Jackson: Livin' Large
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 ...

The airy Bossa rhythms that support the majority of tracks do little to help him in this regard and his arrangements emphasize a featherweight Happy Hour feeling. ...
Johnny "Hammond" Smith: The Soulful Blues
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 ...
Gene Ammons: Gentle Jug, Vol. 3
by Derek Taylor
Among the legion of artists represented on the Fantasy Records roster Gene Ammons remains one of the most anthologized. 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 ...
Thelonious Monk: Complete Prestige Recordings
by Mark Corroto
Sometimes I scare myself. Just when I start believing that I haven’t progressed in my jazz record amassing to the designation a ‘collector,’ a box set like The Complete Prestige Recordings comes along and I deem it a ‘must have.’ Let me explain, in our household essential recordings by jazz artists are acquired without guilt (“we ...
