Coleman Hawkins: At Ease with Coleman Hawkins

Read "At Ease with Coleman Hawkins" reviewed by Matt Cibula

by Matt Cibula

In this crazy run-around world where we never really have time to stop and appreciate all the good things in our lives, it is pretty hard to make time for Coleman Hawkins. But that is precisely why it is so important to do so. They really never invented a saxophone player better than him, and very ...

Read "Black Talk!" reviewed by Jeff Dayton-Johnson

by Jeff Dayton-Johnson

One of the all-time classic soul-jazz records gets its turn at remastering by Rudy van Gelder, the original engineer of the 1969 session. Charles Earland had a strong affinity for the organ, though he didn't start on the instrument. He began his career as a saxophonist, playing in groups with organists like Jimmy ...

Miles Davis: Workin' With the Miles Davis Quintet

Read "Workin' With the Miles Davis Quintet" reviewed by David Miller

by David Miller

Mose Allison: Mose Allison Sings

Read "Mose Allison Sings" reviewed by Riel Lazarus

by Riel Lazarus

Working through Prestige Records' reissue of Mose Allison Sings, the challenge arises of describing the pianist/vocalist's unique sound. The salty-sweet taste of butter and jam on toast is at once an unspectacular metaphor and right on the mark. Allison's music is a delicious blend of tart and tang, as enjoyable in the morning ...

Eric Dolphy Quintet: Outward Bound

Read "Outward Bound" reviewed by J Hunter

by J Hunter

Unlike Ornette Coleman--who wanted to blow orthodox jazz form out of the water--John Coltrane and Eric Dolphy initially worked to change the system from within, making music that fit the jazz standards of the time while injecting their own unique spin. This is why Outward Bound, Dolphy's first recording as a leader, is a not-so-distant relative ...

Sonny Rollins Quartet: Tenor Madness

Read "Tenor Madness" reviewed by J Hunter

by J Hunter

He wasn't scheduled to play, but John Coltrane had his axe in hand when he came to watch Miles Davis' rhythm section record with Sonny Rollins. Trane not only played on the date, but the resulting duet is the centerpiece of Tenor Madness, one in Prestige's latest series of RVG-remastered releases. Theoretically, Coltrane's appearance ...
