King of Jazz (The Criterion Collection)

Made during the early years of the movie musical, this exuberant revue was one of the most extravagant, eclectic, and technically ambitious Hollywood productions of its day. Starring the bandleader Paul Whiteman, then widely celebrated as the King of Jazz, the film drew from Broadway variety shows of the time to present a spectacular array of sketches, performances by such acts as the Rhythm Boys (featuring a young Bing Crosby), and orchestral numbers overseen by Whiteman himself (including a larger-than-life rendition of George Gershwin's 'Rhapsody in Blue') all lavishly staged by veteran the...

Personnel: McCoy Tyner (piano); Gary Bartz (saxophone); Terence Blanchard (trumpet); Christian McBride (bass instrument); Lewis Nash (drums).Recording information: Avatar, New York, New York (11/18/2003 - 11/19/2003).ILLUMINATIONS finds McCoy Tyner, some 40 years after his best-known work (as a member of John Coltrane's legendary early-1960s quartet), still kicking. Tyner's energies as a session leader, composer, and ever-progressive musician haven't flagged since the mid-'60's, when the pianist started heading his own dates. On this 2004 album, as per usual, Tyner has surrounded himself with some of the finest personnel in jazz, including bassist Christian McBride, sax player Gary Bartz, and trumpeter Terence Blanchard.Tyner's music is appealing for its balance of familiar hard-bop vocabulary and intricately wrought structures--it is rhythmic and accessible, yet intellectually engaging. Tyner plays with great vigor, mixing virtuoso classical flourishes with bold chords and dazzlingly complex solos. His compositions here touch on avant-bebop ("The Chase"), Latin groove ("Angelina"), and smooth swing (the title track--on which all the musicians get a chance to stretch out). Blanchard's playing is especially notable, substantiating the melody lines in the chorus and blazing on the solos (as on "New Orleans Stomp," driven by a classic second-line beat). The high quality of music here--in conception and execution--should come as no surprise to long-time fans of Tyner or his sidemen.

"Grey Area" employs the talents of guitarist Adam Rogers to give the track a hard-edged fusion sound reminiscent of early Brecker Brothers music.

Johnson (trombone); Hank Jones (piano); Barry Galbraith (guitar); Oscar Pettiford (bass); Jo Jones (drums).Recorded at Reeves Sound Studios, New York, New York on March 12 & 15, 1957.

Includes liner notes by Orrin Keepnews.Digitally remasterd by Joe Tarantino (1987, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California).THE HAWK THAT FLIES HIGH is a swingin' small group session lead by Coleman Hawkins in 1957. This album features the then-young bebop musicians J.J. Johnson (trombone), Idrees Sulieman (trumpet), Barry Galbraith (guitar), Oscar Pettiford (bass), and the great Hank Jones (piano).The rhythm section plays with a quieter, calmer approach to the music best evidenced by the opening track "Chant." However, early hard-bop is heard on tracks such as "Juicy Fruit" and "Blue Lights." Refusing to be pigeon-holed, Hawkins returns to his swing roots with "Sanctity." This is one of Hawk's best efforts from to come out of the 1950s.

Full title: Michael Feinstein With The Israel Philharmonic Orchestra.This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.Personnel includes: Michael Feinstein (vocals, piano); Alan Broadbent (arranger, conductor, piano); Avishai Cohen (bass); Albie Berk (drums); The Israel Philharmonic Orchestra.Producers: Allen Sviridoff, Leslie Ann Jones.Recorded at The Mann Auditorium, Tel Aviv, Israel; Capitol, Hollywood,California; Skywalker Sound Studios, Marin County, California. Includes linernotes by Michael Feinstein. MICHAEL FEINSTEIN WITH THE ISRAEL PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA was nominated forthe 2003 Grammy Awards for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.Though he's one of the premier modern interpreters of the Great American Songbook, Michael Feinstein went until 2001 without ever releasing an album featuring symphony orchestra. His intimate, cabaret-bred interpretive style might strike some as an unusual match for full orchestra, but Alan Broadbent's arrangements (and the orchestra's innate gifts) ensure that Feinstein's up-close-and-personal vocal approach is never overwhelmed. Whether delivering a lovelorn ballad like "Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out to Dry" or getting bold and swinging on "The Best Is Yet To Come," Feinstein glides along smoothly on the sensuous sonic blanket the orchestra provides, making for a rich, distinctive recording.
