Personnel: Mose Allison (piano); Addison Farmer (bass); Ronnie Free, Nick Stabulas (drums).Recorded in Hackensack, New Jersey between November 1957 & August 1959. Includes liner notes by Jack McKinney.Digitally remastered by Phil De Lancie (1997, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California).Singer/songwriter/pianist Mose Allison has proven himself equally at home with jazz and blues, making him difficult to categorize. Allison's songs have been covered by artists as diverse as The Who ("Young Man Blues"), Bonnie Raitt ("Everybody's Cryin' Mercy"), Van Morrison, and Marlena Shaw. His underrated piano playing is straightforward and intensely lyrical, descended from Fats Waller, Nat "King" Cole (himself an underrated and influential pianist), and Pete Johnson. DOWN HOME PIANO is a compilation of Allison originals from his late 1950's albums AUTUMN SONG, CREEK BANK, RAMBLIN' WITH MOSE, and LOCAL COLOR, originally issued on Prestige.Here, the focus is on Allison the pianist/composer, accompanied by drums and acoustic bass. Throughout, he effortlessly combines jazz, blues, and country music, swinging like crazy throughout; witness the wildly careening "Devil In The Cane Field," "Town," which manages to be urbane and down-home at the same time, or the laid-back, subtly Thelonious Monk-like "Moon And Cypress."

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.

Personnel: Coleman Hawkins (tenor saxophone); Idrees Sulieman (trumpet); J.J. 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. Originally released on Riverside (233). 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.
