Artists - VA Album - Newport Jazz All Stars July 1966 Label - Jazz Band Records Year - 1966, release - 1994 Quality - MP3@320 kbps Size - 157 mb Total time - 73:55 AMG Rating
The music on this CD can easily be divided into two parts. Pianist George Wein put together a particularly interesting version of the Newport Jazz All Stars in 1966, featuring cornetist Ruby Braff, tenorman Bud Freeman, baritonist Gerry Mulligan (who also takes a hot alto solo on "Bernie's Tune"), bassist Jack Lesberg, and drummer Buddy Rich. Each of the horn players and Rich have their own features, but it is the two free-for-alls ("Rose Room" and "Bernie's Tune") that are most exciting. In addition, pianist Teddy Wilson (with Rich and bassist Gene Taylor) swings on four standards, and welcomes trumpeter Clark Terry, on three others, two of which feature Terry's exuberant vocals ("I Want a Little Girl" and "Mumbles"). This is a jubilant set of reasonably well-recorded music, put out for the first time on this English CD.
Artist: Houston Person Album: Always On My Mind Label: Muse Year: 1985 Format, Bitrate: Mp3, 320 Kbps Time: 34:46 Size: 81 Mb
In the 1990s, Houston Person kept the soulful thick-toned tenor tradition of Gene Ammons alive, particularly in his work with organists. After learning piano as a youth, Person switched to tenor. While stationed in Germany with the Army, he played in groups that also included Eddie Harris, Lanny Morgan, Leo Wright, and Cedar Walton. Person picked up valuable experience as a member of Johnny Hammond's group (1963-1966) and has been a bandleader ever since, often working with singer Etta Jones. A duo recording with Ran Blake was a nice change of pace, but most of Houston Person's playing has been done in blues-oriented organ groups. He has recorded a consistently excellent series of albums for Muse, eventually switching to HighNote Records for 2006's You Taught My Heart to Sing, 2007's Thinking of You, and 2008's Just Between Friends, which featured bassist Ron Carter. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
Artist: Steve Khan Album: Got My Mental Label: Evidence Music Year: 1996 Release: 1997 Format, bitrate: mp3, 320 kb/s Time: 01:07:57 Size: 166MB
Got My Mental is a satisfying trio date with bassist John Patitucci and drummer Jack DeJohnette, and a nice complement to Let's Call This, Khan's 1991 trio album with Ron Carter and Al Foster. As on the earlier outing, Khan includes only one original tune, focusing instead on challenging material by eminent post-bop figures. Wayne Shorter and Lee Morgan are again represented, but this time in the company of Keith Jarrett ("Common Mama"), Eddie Harris ("Sham Time"), and Ornette Coleman ("R.P.D.D."). Khan also presents his laid-back take on two standards, "I Have Dreamed" by Rodgers & Hammerstein and "The Last Dance" by Jimmy Van Heusen and Khan's father, Sammy Cahn. Four rotating percussionists -- Don Alias, Bobby Allende, Marc Quiñones, and Café -- join the trio intermittently. It's fairly uncommon to hear Khan in such a straight-ahead setting. His articulation is superb on the tough bop-oriented lines of the Coleman piece and original title track, although he can become a bit stiff as his solos progress. Shorter's "Paraphernalia," like "Masqualero" on the previous record, was once played by the Miles Davis Quintet and is particularly difficult to carry off with a guitar trio. But Khan doesn't let that stop him. His big, reverby sound and spacious chords create a full spectrum of sound on this and every other tune. ~ David R. Adler, All Music Guide

The Art of Romance won the 2005 Grammy Award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album
Few vocalists have earned what Tony Bennett enjoys: the absolute authority of recording exactly what he wants, exactly the way he wants. And when recording an album of love songs, easily the most common of all conceptual works, no other singer would have the talent to capture both the edges and the subtleties to make what has been tried, many times, sound true. But this is a quality that Bennett -- never a jazz singer, always a "song" singer -- has possessed throughout his career. The Art of Romance is a record, as described by producer Phil Ramone, "that communicates with those in love, out of love and everywhere in-between." Love isn't all rosy, of course, and it's rendered in such saloon-song soft-focus by Bennett and his small group (plus light string accompaniment) that it never sounds passé -- an achievement in itself. Many of these are love songs with a crooked smile, whether it's a brief celebrity-page linking that unexpectedly turns into love ("All in Fun") or songs about the end of love, such as "Where Do You Start" and "I Remember You," a pair of evocative ballads charting love leaving and love only half-remembered. Ironically, Bennett contributes one of the most tender songs, making his debut as a composer on "All for You" with a set of lyrics to one of his favorite tunes, Django Reinhardt's gypsy-jazz classic "Nuages." Remarkably, The Art of Romance marks the debut of these 11 songs in his recorded repertoire. While a few are classics that are nearly as old as Bennett himself, many of them are rarely performed nuggets from the post-vocal era, by such composers as Johnny Mandel, Stephen Sondheim, and Alan and Marilyn Bergman. ("Time to Smile," a buoyant, inspirational piece, marks the debut of the song in anyone's recorded repertoire; it's an older composition by Johnny Mercer and Geoffrey Clarkson only discovered in 2004.) Approaching the age of 80, Tony Bennett has only a few grains in his voice and a bit of strain in the energy of his performances, nothing that a listener wouldn't be able to forgive of a man 25 years younger.

Artist: Ben Webster Album: Live at Jazzhaus, Vol. 1 Label: Jazz Colours Year: 1965 Release: 1998 Format, Bitrate: MP3, 320 kbps Size: 123 MB

Artist: Ben Webster Album: Live at Jazzhaus, Vol. 1 Label: Jazz Colours Year: 1965 Release: 1998 Format, Bitrate: MP3, 320 kbps Size: 136 MB
It was coming late in his career when Ben Webster decided to record a set of gigs down at the Jazzhus in Copenhagen, Webster was following in tradition when playing at this venue, following in the footsteps of players such as Cannonball Addelery, Bill Evans and Stan Getz. Although this album was recorded in 1965, it was only released as part of Webster's Discography in 1998, there are also an additional 2 recordings which Webster made after the first one in 1965. As always with Webster and his playing you get such a lyrical sense in his playing, the weeping notes and soft sub-dominant sounds, which he creates in this album, are classic Webster, here though there is a difference. Accompanying Webster on that gig was Kenny Drew (piano) Nils-Henning Orsted-Pedersen (bass) and Alex Riel (drums), combining this suburb rythmn section with Webster unique style of playing really did mix it up. For example Drews be-bob style of playing always offered you something exciting in which you really didn't... no make that couldn't know what was coming next. . . .
These recordings are not just another blues compilation, they are a complete historical document. The value more than outweighs the flaws. The Restoration and Remastering is the best that is currently available. bobtec (Redlands, CA), Amazon.com
Artist: Steve Khan Album: Crossings Label: Polydor Year: 1993 Format, bitrate: mp3, 320 kb/s Time: 01:09:01 Size: 164MB
This was to be my last recording for Hiroshi Itsuno and Polydor K.K. of Japan. Hiroshi felt it best that I return to the Eyewitness format, but that perhaps I might add a horn. So, it didn't take long to suggest and agree upon my old and dear friend, Michael Brecker. The material, though still fundamentally a selection of "odd-ball" standards from the mid-'60s, would have a decided Latin flavor to it and everything was geared to that direction. One of the nicest additional elements was the presence of engineer James Farber, another good friend, who lent his very special talents and sound design ideas to make this, perhaps, my favorite sounding recording. As an audio nut, even I have to say, the sound of this recording is awesome! If I were forced to single out one moment, it would be the 'fade' of "I Love Paris" where we fall into a 'free' montuno(of sorts) and as I hold down the harmonic 'center,' Anthony explores some of the most fantastic places. Places which it seems only he hears....and, at moments like that too! While I'm playing a simple Cm7 chord, one can hear lots of Dbs and B-naturals in the bass, not exactly what one would expect! The group interplay on Monk's "Think of One" is very special to me, as is our performance of my father's tune, "It's You or No One." Again, it's a testament to the subtlety Dennis Chambers is capable of, his brushwork is stupendous! ...
Yugoslavian jazz trumpeter Dusko Goykovitch's SNAP SHOT includes six tracks featuring bop-oriented versions of the standards "Autumn Leaves" and "There Will Never be Another You."
An excellent bop-based soloist who has recorded rewarding sets for Enja, Dusko Goykovich played in Yugoslavia and Germany before visiting the U.S. for the first time with Marshall Brown's International Youth Band (playing at the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival). Goykovich attended Berklee (1961-1963) and played with the orchestras of Maynard Ferguson (1963-1964) and Woody Herman (1964-1966) before deciding to return to Germany, leading a group with Sal Nistico (1966). He was with the Kenny Clarke-Francy Boland Big Band (1968-73) and had a 12-piece band with Slide Hampton (1974-1975). Miles Davis is his main influence, but Dusko Goykovich (who has been quite active during the '80s and '90s in Europe) has his own extroverted style. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
Unique talents appear all too infrequently. Nina Simone is such a talent. Her exceptional song writing abilities and vocal style made her stand apart from others. Nina Simone's string of hits "I put a spell on you", "Ain't got no-I got a life", "Do what you gotta do", "My baby just cares for me", etc, all became evergreen classics.
