2006: Al Di Meola - Vocal Rendezvous |
Fusion, Jazz-Rock |
 |
|
 Artist: Al Di Meola Album: Vocal Rendezvous Label: SPV Year: 2006 Format, bitrate: mp3, 320 kbps Time: 50:29 Size: 81.32 Mb The famed jazz guitarist recorded this predominant collection of collaborations with various singers over a 6 year period. The first that started it all was a session with the Russian vocalist Leonid Agutin. Always on the lookout for new challenges, Di Meola expanded on the concept for this very special and exceptional album. The featured material includes artists like Xavier Naidoo, Angie Stone, Macy Gray, MC Solaar and Swedish pop singer Bosson. A thoroughly distinctive release in Di Meola’s longstanding career and certainly one that marks him as an accomplished wanderer between different stylistic worlds. ~ cduniverse |

1962: Jack Teagarden - Think Well of Me |

 Artist: Jack Teagarden Album: Think Well of Me Label: Verve Year: 1962, release: 1998 Quality: MP3@320 kbps Size: 80,6 mb (sharebee) Total time: 35:58 AMG Rating:  For My Friends! In the years between leaving Louis Armstrong's All-Stars and his death (1952-63), the great trombonist and singer Jack Teagarden led a Dixieland-oriented sextet. Most of his recordings during that time period, while quite worthy, featured the usual standards and swing songs that had been associated with Mr. T. since the 1930s. But this particular project, which in 1998 was reissued as a limited-edition CD, was something quite different. Willard Robison was an unusual composer whose nostalgic and wistful songs usually extolled the virtues of country life; best-known among his tunes are "Old Folks," "Cottage for Sale" and "Tain't So, Honey Tain't So." For what would be his next-to-last album, Teagarden in Jan. 1962 recorded ten Robison songs (plus the slightly out of place non-Robison standard "Where Are You") while backed by a string orchestra that included both a harp and his trumpeter Don Goldie. Bob Brookmeyer and Russ Case contributed all but one arrangement, and although the strings were certainly not necessary (since they do not add much to the music), the prestigious setting must have pleased the trombonist. All of the songs except for "I'm a Fool About My Mama" have vocals by Teagarden, and he puts plenty of restrained feeling into such obscure tunes as "Guess I'll Go Back Home This Summer," "Think Well of Me" and "'Round My Old Deserted Farm." His short solos are often quite exquisite, and this often touching, somewhat rare date is one of the strongest of his final period. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |

1989: Dave McKenna - Live at Maybeck Recital Hall, Vol. 2 |

 Artist: Dave McKenna Album: Live at Maybeck Recital Hall, Vol. 2 Label: Concord Jazz Genre: Piano Jazz Format mp3, bitrate: 320 kb/s Time: 1:05:38 Size: 150 Mb AMG Rating:  When Joanne Brackeen first arrived at the tiny Maybeck Recital Hall for a concert in June 1989, she was so delighted with the piano and the acoustics that she insisted that Concord owner Carl Jefferson arrange to have her performance there recorded. The message hit home and over the next few years, several dozen solo piano concerts were duly recorded by the label until the hall was sold and it was no longer available for tapings. One of the first concerts to follow Brackeen's featured Dave McKenna. He seems in a particularly lyrical mood throughout this afternoon concert, though his trademark buoyant bassline is often present. While there are a number of gorgeous stand-alone songs, including the gliding "Dream Dancing," a lush, introspective "Detour Ahead," and an inventive, playful take of Duke Ellington's "C Jam Blues" (with a bassline inspired by boogie-woogie pianist Meade "Lux" Lewis' recording), there are several medleys that are connected by a common theme in their titles. Beautifully recorded and performed, this valuable CD was one of many Maybeck titles that was unfortunately deleted from Concord's active catalog. - Ken Dryden at All Music Guide |
