Stan Kenton: Artistry In Kenton

Stan Kenton: Artistry In Kenton

This triple-CD collection (spanning the years 1937-46) not only includes largely unheard facets of Stan Kenton?s early musical life, it also offers the greatest collection of very rare Kenton performances to date. Among the rare sessions included here are those from 1938 with the Vido Musso Orchestra and Herb Jeffrey, both of which pre-date the creation of Kenton?s own orchestra. Also included are some of the earliest performances by future jazz superstars such as Art Pepper, Stan Getz and Shelly Manne, plus the very first recording of vocalist June Christy. Also to be found here are occasional commentaries by Frank Sinatra and pertinent recollections by Kenton himself. Most of the music included on these three CD?s (74 numbers in all!) is original material of the post-swing/ ?early modern? genre, plus a few evergreens.

Duke Ellington: The Treasury Shows Vol. 7

Duke Ellington: The Treasury Shows Vol. 7

The three sessions here were recorded in N.Y.C. in 1945 ? 2 live sessions (Apollo Theatre and Zanzibar Club) plus one studio session (Radio City Music Hall). The 143 minutes (44 tunes) of music on this double-CD have never been released before. The repertoire is classic Ellington/Strayhorn material ? including one Strayhorn medley and two suites (?Trio In Blue? and ?Perfume Suite?) - plus several tunes which were never recorded commercially. Recorded at the end of WWII, the purpose of these three programs ? besides providing wonderful music ? was to promote the sale of U.S. Treasury bonds to help the war effort. A major attribute of this double-CD is the inclusion of several tunes that Ellington never recorded commercially, like ?Fickle Fling?, ?Hollywood Hangover? and ?I?d Do It All Over Again?. The great musicianship and enthusiasm of Ellington?s orchestra includes countless fine solos ? especially with Johnny Hodges and Rex Stewart ? and features some great vocals by Al Hibbler, Kay Davis and Joya Sherrill.

Barry Levenson: Hard Times Won

Barry Levenson: Hard Times Won

This CD was recorded in 2002 and combines hard-hitting Chicago blues with a more subtle, jazzy west-coast style blues. On this CD, homage is paid to leading bluesmen like T-Bone Walker, Buddy Guy, B.B. King, Muddy Waters and Howlin? Wolf, plus jazz guitar giants Kenny Burrell and Grant Green ? all of whom have influenced Barry Levenson. All the tunes are Levenson originals, and the style varies from tunes like ?Hard Times Won? with a Howlin? Wolf groove and Bob Dylan-like lyrics, to tender love songs like ?She?s So Fine?, ?Inhumanity Blues? which reflects upon the Sept. 11th attack on the U.S., and the jazz/R&B-inspired number ?Slip Me Some Green, Jack?, a tribute to jazz guitarist Grant Green and organist Jack McDuff. Besides playing guitar throughout and writing all the material, Levenson produced this CD as well.Barry Levenson is in the vanguard of 21st Century bluesmen, fully in possession of the four ?T?s?: tone, technique, taste and toughness ? plus an overwhelming respect for the blues. Harmonica-player and singer Johnny Dyer is a hard-edged Chicago-style bluesman who grew up in Mississippi. This is pure, heartfelt blues, with no frills, in an intense, intelligent, original style - in the classic blues tradition.

The Ralph Sutton Quartet: Featuring Bob Wilber - Volume 3

The Ralph Sutton Quartet: Featuring Bob Wilber - Volume 3

A laid-back live session from 1969 with four compatible and well-acquainted musicians.

The laid-back professionalism and close compatibility of the musicians combine to make this a memorable live session which - thanks to the many subtleties in the music - sounds better and better the more times it's heard.

Dave Swarbrick: Lift The Lid And Listen

Dave Swarbrick: Lift The Lid And Listen

The music is comprised of traditional folk tunes, plus one Swarbrick original. Dave Swarbrick originally played with the well-known Ian Campbell Folk Group, and was a member of the famous folk-rock group Fairport Convention at the time of this recording.

Dave Swarbrick is an outstanding example of the British folk revival of the 70’s, and one of the first to leave England for the European continent, where he wound up settling in Denmark.

Fessor's Big City Band: Swing Sessions

Fessor's Big City Band: Swing Sessions

Thanks to Ole ”Fessor” Lindgreen’s long-term friendship with many top swing and traditional jazz stars like Wild Bill Davison, the musical communication and overall atmosphere on Swing Sessions is greatly enhanced, and the musicians really do swing together! Fessor’s Trombone style is warm, and robust, and his arrangements are simple and well-constructed. The music always sounds fresh, thanks both to Fessor’s deep attraction to a variety of musical styles, and his choice of a relatively unusual repertoire. There are great performances by special American guest artists Claude Williams on Violin, Herb Hall on Clarinet, Doc Cheatham on Trumpet, and Wild Bill Davison on Cornet, plus Danish Tenor saxophonist Bent Jædig.

Art Tatum Live: Volume Three 1945-1949

Art Tatum Live: Volume Three 1945-1949

This is the third of an eight CD, 188-track set comprised of previously unissued broadcast performances by the legendary jazz pianist, Art Tatum. He was one of the most brilliant pianists - in any genre - who ever lived. His astonishing technique, fantastic creativity and blinding speed and virtuosity have never been equaled. This CD is both a textbook in piano playing and also a thriller, because what Tatum does, seems impossible. The first two numbers, from 1945 and 1946, are from V-discs. The next eight are radio broadcasts and the remainder are from two private-party sessions in 1949, wher his playing is more free than in the studio. The repertiore consists of popular tunes of the day, plus a Chopin waltz.

Here is the patriotic Duke Ellington And His Famous Orchestra performing weekly radio broadcasts in 1945 (plus one from 1943) to help sell U.S. war bonds and boost the public's morale. These 55 minute weekly programs gave Ellington a wide choice of material to perform, including older work, new material, pop tunes, instrumentals & vocals, and extended works.

The excitement and seamless professionalism of Ellington's orchestra of the mid 1940's is in abundant evidence throughout the two hours’ worth of music on this double CD compilation.

The music on this CD has never been previously released.

All the music reveals Tatum's total command of the keyboard and also his unequalled talent for improvisation and high-speed stride playing. Art Tatum's sense of time is impeccable - as he says himself 'I have a rhythm section in my left hand'

Barry Levenson/Jake Sampson: Closer To The Blues

Barry Levenson/Jake Sampson: Closer To The Blues

The Beauty and magic of the blues lie in its ability to touch and move people - make you tap your foot to the music and not your head to its message. Luckily, Barry Levenson and Jake Sampson are dedicated to the classic, electric urban blues tradition. With half-century of dues paying and blues playing between them (including tours of the deep south and Europe), this new collaboration between two veterans has clearly inspired them to new heights. Together with regulars from Barry Levenson's Band, plus some tasty guest performers, this is one tight and powerful unit. The fine result of this collaboration - Barry and Jake wrote all but one of the tunes - is immediately obvious. Here is the beauty and magic of the blues - a feeling which cannot be faked!

Duke Ellington: The Piano Player

The Piano Player is a fantastic CD that focuses on and demonstrates the unique Piano talents of Duke Ellington.

Duke Ellington: Treasury Shows Vol. 10

Duke Ellington: Treasury Shows Vol. 10

The music on these two CD?s (51 tunes) has never been released before. The music is taken from 4 radio broadcasts in New York City in 1945 ? part live and part in the radio studio. Aside from providing great big band jazz for the radio audience, the point of these broadcasts was also for Duke Ellington to sell war bonds in the final year of World War II. The repertoire consists mostly of well-known Ellington numbers, plus a few rarities. These radio broadcasts are particularly important because commercial studio recordings were banned during World War II. One tune on CD 2 ? "I Miss Your Kiss", featuring the great trombone work of Lawrence Brown ? was never recorded commercially. Other highpoints are Johnny Hodges? smooth alto sax on "Mood to be Wooed", and Rex Stewart?s trumpet work on "Emancipation Celebration".

Allen?s sextet, plus a couple of vocalists (Ivie Anderson & Jewel Paige), a couple of drum soloists (Lee Young & Paul Barbarin) and a couple of comedy skits.

Charlie Parker In Sweden

Charlie Parker In Sweden

The 14 tunes (73 min.) on this CD were recorded on the 20th & 22nd of November, 1950, in Hälsingborg and Malmö, Sweden, and besides some standard melodies, the CD includes several Parker original be-bop classics. The music here represents all that was recorded with Charlie Parker on this visit to Sweden, which was his second ? and last ? trip to Europe. In spite of the less-than-perfect sound quality, these private recordings catch Charlie Parker ? the greatest modern jazz musician of all time ? at the peak of his powers: he was obviously in a good mood, playing clear, singing lines and in total control of the saxophone. The CD is comprised of two concerts, plus a jam session, and all the time Parker is accompanied by basically the same competent Swedish rhythm section, led by the famous trumpeter Rolf Ericson. Neither the Swedish fans nor the musicians who played with Parker during his one-week visit were ever the same afterwards, and you won?t be, either, after hearing this CD.

Art Tatum Live: Volume One 1934-1944

Art Tatum Live: Volume One 1934-1944

This is the first of a nine-volume 18-track set, comprised primarily of previously unissued performances by the legendary jazz pianist, Art Tatum. This CD covers the years 1934 (the first year Tatum recorded) to 1944, with Tatum performing in solo, trio and quartet contexts. Most of the music (which is from the 40's) was produced for the Armed Forces Radio Service, who broadcast to the U.S. military during World War II. Besides the eight solo tunes, which include some of Tatum's first recordings from 1934, there are early tracks with Tatum's own famous trio, plus five tunes with the legendary jazz guitarist, Les Paul. The discovery of this unknown music by the greatest jazz pianist of all time is the musical equivalent of finding previously unpublished plays by William Shakespeare. While the tracks here are from the earlier part of Tatum's career, his astonishing technique and creative brilliance, his strong stride piano, blinding speed and virtuoso arpeggios, are all impressively showcased here.Featuring Slam Stewart and Clinton Nordquist on bass. Les Paul, Tiny Grimes and Clavin Goodin on guitar.
