Various Artists: Songs That Made The Phone Light Up
by AAJ Staff
Jazz, through all of its changes and all of its manifestations, has always been about people.

Various Artists: Brazilian Horizons
by AAJ Staff
The influence of Caribbean and South American musical ideas on jazz goes as far back as Jelly Roll Morton and his “Latin tinge."

Various Artists: Standards On Impulse!
by Robert Spencer
Standards on Impulse! is a collection disc with a few twists, but not as many as one might expect from that label's classic Sixties roster.
