Classical Jazz Quartet: Tchaikovsky's "The Nutcracker"

by Jim Santella
Like the Modern Jazz Quartet, the foursome on this new release folds visions of great classical music into a mainstream jazz setting.

Ron Carter: Pick 'Em/Super Strings

by Derek Taylor
Ron Carter’s place in the preeminent line of master jazz bassists is unassailable.
