Freddy Cole: Merry Go Round
by Mark Corroto
Have sympathy for the sibling of the famous entertainer. Folks like Jerry Van Dyke, Billy Ripken, and the Baldwin brother that made the movie with Cindy Crawford (at least he got to work with a supermodel) all have had careers in which they could not step out from the large shadow cast by their brothers. The ...
Freddy Cole: Merry Go Round
by AAJ Staff
There's the eternal question of what makes a jazz singer. (Well, it's not really eternal, but in jazz years, it might as well be.) Is a jazz singer one who adopts instrumental phrasing, even though many jazz musicians swear that they are trying to simulate the human voice in turn? Is a jazz singer one who ...
Jacques Loussier: Bach's Goldberg Variations
by AAJ Staff
Jacques Loussier and his trio are back once again, interpreting the music of Johann Sebastian Bach in this new release on the Telarc label entitled Bach's Goldberg Variations. I had high praise for Loussier in my reviews of his two previous Telarc releases; Bolero and The Bach Book. In the history books, Loussier will certainly be ...

On Unsung Heroes, Sutton’s fluid style makes some very difficult pieces sound simple and beautiful.Though Sutton didn’t come to jazz until she was 20, she’s a natural talent who released a widely praised ...
Monty Alexander: Monty Alexander Meets Sly and Robbie
by Ed Kopp
Hot on the heels of Stir It Up, his popular Bob Marley tribute album, Jamaican pianist Monty Alexander has joined forces with reggae's most famous rhythm section, Sly Dunbar (drums) and Robbie Shakespeare (bass). While Stir It Up offered jazz versions of reggae songs, this follow-up studio release delivers reggae versions of familiar jazz numbers with ...
Tierney Sutton: Unsung Heroes
by Mark Corroto
Miles Davis never shouted. I’m not talking about his damaged vocal chords. He rarely raised his musical voice above a whisper. Singer Tierney Sutton, like Miles, doesn’t raise her voice to make a resounding statement. Unlike so many upper range vocal gymnasts working today, Sutton favors articulation and quiet beauty as her approach. Funny so did ...
Terry Evans: Walk That Walk
by Ed Kopp
Terry Evans' earthy music combines the grit of the Mississippi Delta (his birthplace), the chooglin' power of the rowdiest electric blues, and the heartfelt intensity of deep soul and gospel. Walk That Walk is yet another terrific release from the bluesman/soulman.Every Evans album comes with an added bonus: the rootsy guitar playing of Ry ...
Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops "Big Band" Orchestra: Route 66/That Nelson Riddle Sound
by AAJ Staff
I'm sure anyone old enough to remember the ‘60's will no doubt remember that old tube (or possibly transistor) radio that dad had on the kitchen counter top, tuned to a station playing what was called the beautiful music. The music that poured forth from that tiny three-inch speaker was the highly orchestrated and skillfully arranged ...
Jacques Loussier Trio: Ravels' Bolero
by AAJ Staff
As with his CD The Bach Book , Jacques Loussier is again embellishing the work of another master composer on this recent Telarc release entitled Ravel's Bolero. This CD is as much, and even more so about Loussier's own compositional abilities, for with the exception of the title cut, all songs were composed and arranged by ...
Tierney Sutton: Unsung Heroes
by AAJ Staff
While jazz enthusiasts mourn the loss of many of the members of the first generation of female jazz vocalists, their enthuasiasm doesn't seem to extend to many of the vocalists struggling, and in some cases, succeeding on today's scene. Dee Dee Bridgewater, Dominique Eade, Dianne Reeves, Vanessa Rubin, Karrin Allyson, and Nnennon Freelon, among others, come ...
