Coleman Hawkins: At Ease with Coleman Hawkins
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 ...
Charles Earland: Black Talk!
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
by David Miller
It usually takes me two listens to determine what I think of an album. The great ones usually convince me with one run-through, though. Upon popping Workin' With the Miles Davis Quintet into the stereo, I knew from the opening notes of It Never Entered My Mind that I was in for something special. The rest ...
Mose Allison: Mose Allison Sings
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
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
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 ...

John Coltrane: Fearless Leader
by John Kelman
John Coltrane Fearless Leader Prestige Records 2006 By the time saxophonist John Coltrane headed into the studio in May of 1957--for the first of nine sessions as a leader that would result in eleven albums released on Prestige between 1957 and 1965-- his reputation was already well-established. Coltrane was now ...
