Oscar Peterson/Milt Jackson/Ray Brown: The Very Tall Band/Live At The Blue Note
by Mark Corroto
Sure I’m a fan of Tiger Woods, but sometimes I like to watch the Senior PGA Tour. Even though my heroes of yesterday Hale Irwin, Jack Nicklaus, and Gary Player don’t hit the ball as long or putt as well as the modern player, their games remind me of the glories of the past. Like the ...
Various: Duke Ellington...Swings!
by Mark Corroto
I received an odd response when I asked the avant-garde free saxophonist Peter Brotzmann what his favorite records were. He responded with a list of Duke Ellington titles. Funny, no strange that someone who practices so free from melody should admire Duke Ellington, a true composer’s composer. During this centenary celebration of Duke’s birth, when everyone ...
Monty Alexander: Stir It Up: The Music Of Bob Marley
by Douglas Payne
Proof, as if any was still necessary, that Reggae king Bob Marley wrote songs melodic enough for jazz. Grover Washington, Jr. was one of the first during the 1970s to do jazz covers of Marley's music. Then guitarist Charlie Hunter put the definitive stamp on his 1997 cover of the Natty Dread album. Now comes Jamaican ...

The George Shearing Quintet: Christmas With The George Shearing Quintet
by C. Michael Bailey
Review Redux. I was just putting the finishing touches on my January review of Christmas with The George Shearing Quintet when I read the December reviews and found that my colleague Douglas Payne had already covered this ground. I thought, “Drat, he did not miss one stylistic or compositional allusion that I heard" (with the exception ...

George Shearing Quintet: Christmas with the George Shearing Quintet
by Douglas Payne
One of the great combos in jazz, the George Shearing Quintet, returns to deck the halls with boughs of warm, swinging and imaginatively considered holiday music. Christmas With The George Shearing Quintet is the pianist's seventh Telarc CD, and the quintet's first since 1994's excellent That Shearing Sound, itself the first Shearing ...
