Oscar Peterson: A Jazz Portrait of Frank Sinatra
by Ollie Bivens
Recorded in '59 and just reissued on CD, this homage is described by pianist Oscar Peterson as “not only a tribute to Frank Sinatra but also my emotional interpretation of the feeling I get when I hear him." The album was part of a popular five album songbook set of the music of various songwriters and ...
The Ramsey Lewis Trio: The Sound Of Christmas
by David Rickert
Those who purchase a Christmas album are mainly looking for festive music suitable for decorating the tree or baking cookies and not an introspective, challenging listening experience. Thus an artist who records such a record must take into account what the audience wants to hear and not his own musical aspirations, which may be why Charles ...
Peggy Lee: Black Coffee
by David Rickert
"A Woman Alone With the Blues" features sparse piano, whispering drums, and a mournful trumpet lurking in the background. But it's the vocals that really push it over the edge.

Smoothly flowing, wistful melodies predominate, caressed by gently inventive arrangements by the Cuban pianist that feature an excellent group of musicians highlighted by Michael Rodriguez on trumpet and the ...
Charlie Haden: Land of the Sun
by Dan McClenaghan
Most of the Latin jazz offerings out there seem to be focused on the sounds of Cuba and Brazil. Charlie Haden's Land of the Sun pulls us into a musical trip to Mexico with his takes on a set of eight songs from the pen of Mexican composer Jose Sabre Marroquin and one each from Augustine ...
