C-Jam All Stars: Diminuendo, Crescendo and Blues

Read "Diminuendo, Crescendo and Blues" reviewed by Dave Nathan


Duke Ellington was extraordinarily generous in allowing members of this band to record on their own while working for him. This generosity is something we all should be grateful for. Otherwise we would never have experienced the pleasure of hearing small groups headed by Johnny Hodges, Barney Bigard and Rex Stewart. This album was originally recorded ...

Dave Douglas: A Thousand Evenings

Read "A Thousand Evenings" reviewed by Mark Corroto


Last night I had the strangest dream. I dreamed Dave Douglas’ Charms Of The Night Sky band took the place of the original band The Monkees on their TV comedy show (stay with me and we might make some sense of this). Remember The Monkees were actors chosen to play musicians (not unlike today’s Backstreet Bunch), ...

Dave Douglas: A Thousand Evenings

Read "A Thousand Evenings" reviewed by David Adler


Bringing the “Charms of the Night Sky" ensemble to his new creative home at RCA Victor, trumpeter and over-achiever Dave Douglas releases his third album of the year, A Thousand Evenings. The lineup is the same as it was on the group's 1998 Winter & Winter debut: Douglas on trumpet, Mark Feldman on violin, Guy Klucevsek ...

New York Voices: Sing, Sing, Sing

Read "Sing, Sing, Sing" reviewed by Dave Nathan


After their previous album which was dedicated to the songs of Paul Simon, the New York Voices have turned their attention to music from the 1940's (mostly) with some swing, jump and jive and pop tunes of that day. The result is another album done with enthusiasm, tight arrangements and vocal creativity. Started in 1987 by ...

Les Double Six: Les Double Six

Read "Les Double Six" reviewed by Dave Hughes


Quick: name some of the most innovative, excellent vocal ensembles in jazz over the last half century. Your list would probably include such notable ensembles as Lambert, Hendricks, and Ross, Singers Unlimited, Manhattan Transfer, and New York Voices. Well, here's another group that belongs in that top echelon. At the same time Lambert, Hendricks, and Ross ...

Harry Allen/Bill Charlap Trio: Plays Ellington Songs

Read "Plays Ellington Songs" reviewed by Mark Corroto


Duke Ellington fans are an odd lot, and it took last years celebration of the centennial of his birth to bring out the crankiest of Ellington cranks. What follows is not my review of tenor saxophonist Harry Allen's tribute to Ellington, but real and mostly imagined reactions. You see, as a jazz fan, I haven't immersed ...

Lee Konitz: Sound Of Surprise

Read "Sound Of Surprise" reviewed by Mark Corroto


New Lee Konitz records have recently been coming out at a rate to match David Murray’s output of the early 1990s. There are my favorites, the two Blue Note live sessions with Brad Mehldau and Charlie Haden, Alone Together and Another Shade Of Blue. Also, Three Guys (Enja) with Paul Motian and Steve Swallow, Dig It ...

Sam Rivers' RivBea All-Star Orchestra: Culmination

Read "Culmination" reviewed by Mark Corroto


Recorded at the same session as last year’s Inspiration, the follow up disc Culmination delivers more of the same goods. Sam Rivers, long exiled (by choice) to Orlando, FL, has been making music in semi-obscurity for the past few decades with many of the Disney-based musicians. In this environs Rivers has total control over composition and ...
