Art Tatum: Piano Grand Master

Read "Piano Grand Master" reviewed by Mike Perciaccante


Featuring 99 tracks in total, the Piano Grand Master box set is the finest Art Tatum collection ever assembled. UK-based Proper Records has delivered an appropriately titled four-disc set which presents itself as a career retrospective, but actually spans only Tatum's prime years (1932-1951). The only essential recordings missing from this set are the mid-'50s material ...

Read "Laughing in Rhythm" reviewed by AAJ Staff

Various Artists: The Big Horn: The History of Honkin' & Screamin' Saxophone

Subtle it is not, and ...

Bud Powell: Tempus Fugue-It

Read "Tempus Fugue-It" reviewed by Craig Jolley


The Four-CD set Tempus Fugue-It gives an in-depth picture of Bud Powell's early career equally as side man and leader. Since he was the pianist of choice for many emerging boppers the set also serves as something of a history of bebop. Beginning with Cootie Williams' 1944 jump band Powell is already recognizable in his brief ...
