Home >> Jazz| Previous | Next |  | Verve Remixed
The manipulation of classic jazz tracks has been part of DJ club culture since the '80s, as artists have continually scratched, looped, and sampled beats and phrases. Verve Remixed has been in the planning stages for years, with in-house producers inviting an international cast of remix artists to select songs from the label's vaults. The results are often tremendously successful, as the remix artists have picked up and expanded upon elements already present in the original. The funky ...

Ry Cooder's name has helped bring attention to this session, but it's the veteran Cuban son musicians who make this album really special. Reminiscent of Ellington in its scope and sense of hushed romanticism, Buena Vista Social Club is that rare meld of quietude and intensity; while the players sound laid-back, they're putting forth very alive music, a reminder that aging doesn't mean taking to bed. Barbarito Torres's laoud solo on 'El ...

VISIT AMAZON.COM'S PAGE |  | Love Scenes
Like a mink draped over mahogany, Diana Krall's luxuriously supple alto adorns the vintage songs of romance and longing found on Love Scenes with a palpable aura of glamour and late-night cool. Her ostensibly effortless command of phrasing and intonation, whether the mood is seduction or a sweet sassiness, further fortifies the opinion that the Canadian vocalist-pianist possesses one of the great female jazz voices to surface in the late 1990s. Augmented by spare but skillful ...

VISIT AMAZON.COM'S PAGE |  | All for You: A Dedication to the Nat King Cole Trio
All for You is a tribute to the Nat 'King' Cole Trio of the 1940s, when Cole performed as both a singer and a pianist. Krall, like her heroes Lena Horne and Carmen McRae, is also a singer-pianist, and she plays both roles on most of the songs here. She's able to link her singing to her piano playing in sympathetic ways and projects tremendous feeling through both. Like Cole in the '40s, Krall plays with a drummerless trio--here with ...

VISIT AMAZON.COM'S PAGE |  | The Pecan Tree
As a cofounder of the soul-jazz group the Crusaders, and as a solo artist who produced some memorable recordings, from Rainbow Seeker to Spellbound, pianist Joe Sample has been a steady groove-maker for over four decades. This CD is a tribute to the source of his down-home grooves: Houston, Texas. It's where Sample honed his bluesy, Creole-coded, Ramsey Lewis-like pianisms that effortlessly blend Latin, R&B, classical, and funk idioms into a spicy East Texas musical gumbo. Tunes like ...

I have yet to come across a Rosemary Clooney LP, single or CD that fails to please. Hers is one of the most distinctive, pleasant voices of the 20th Century.
From 1951 to 1960 she chalked up 28 hit singles as a solo artist or in conjunction with other artists like Guy Mitchell [her first hit in 1951 - You're Just In Love], Marlene Dietrich [Too Old To Cut The Mustard in 1952]; and ...

VISIT AMAZON.COM'S PAGE |  | Sentimental Journey [Concord]
Rosemary Clooney's renaissance on Concord continues with Sentimental Journey, her 20th-plus disc for the label. This set of standards and two new set pieces recalls her pre-'Come-On a My House' days while asserting her ongoing strength at 73. Clooney moves from various shades of romance ('That Old Black Magic,' 'Happiness Is a Thing Called Joe') to a display of comic timing ('Ya Got Class') that suggests she could've developed a second career on the 'legitimate' stage. Supple solos by ...

Toeing a surprisingly fine line between acoustic-jazz accessibility and electronic-music ingenuity, E.S.T. (Esbjörn Svensson Trio) is a forward-thinking Swedish trio that adds subtle, dark ambient texture (and then some) to the traditional piano-trio format. As with the group's first Columbia release, Somewhere Else Before, there is a nice mix of well-constructed tunes with catchy, often-lilting melodies. The band is at its best when playing slow, contemplative ballads ('Serenade for the Renegade' is a highlight) that have the same ...

VISIT AMAZON.COM'S PAGE |  | Directions in Music: Live at Massey Hall
Directions in Music marks Herbie Hancock's all-star tribute to Miles Davis and John Coltrane. It's clearly a chance for Hancock to return once again to his creative roots, when he was in Davis's great quintet of the mid-'60s, and he has excellent companions for the journey in Michael Brecker and Roy Hargrove, the tenor saxophonist and trumpeter who clearly demonstrate their inspiration in Coltrane and Miles. The CD begins with a reprise of Hancock's 'Sorcerer' from his Miles period, ...

VISIT AMAZON.COM'S PAGE |  | Songs from the Girl Singer: A Musical Autobiography
There have been plenty of Rosemary Clooney best-of compilations, but few highlight the depth and diversity of the vocalist as does Songs from the Girl Singer. Billed as a musical autobiography, this double-CD companion to Clooney's written autobiography illustrates the stylized but varied and spunky career of the singer, from her earliest works to her most recent. Some of the highlights include 'Sooner or Later,' Clooney's first solo performance from 1946, which features the sultry ...
