| | Capt John Handy Very Handy! CD Capt John Handy Discography of CDs
New Orleans altoist Captain John Handy was quite busy during March-May 1966, recording over five albums' worth of material and touring on the East Coast. This 1993 CD brings back one of the rarest of all the dates that trombonist Big Bill Bissonette recorded in the 1960s. Handy is teamed mostly with players from Bissonette's Easy Riders band of young revivalists: clarinetist Sammy Rimington, trumpeter Clive Wilson, banjoist Dick Griffith, pianist Dick Sinclair, bassist Mouldy Dick McCarthy, drummer Art Pulver and Bissonette. In addition to the original seven numbers (which put the focus on Handy's playing), five previously unissued cuts have been added, including a blazing version of "Running Wild." Other highlights include "Give Me Your Telephone Number," "Golden Leaf Strut" (which is really another name for "Milenberg Joys"), and an almost out-of-control "Mahogany Hall Stomp." Handy and Remington work off each other quite well, and there are many heated moments on this exciting set. ~ Scott Yanow

Henry Threadgill has, in the framework of abstract music, been a stalwart, spontaneous composer whose personal sound is near impossible to identify, or certainly codify. A listener who enjoys very challenged music would have difficulty in discerning what is made up or written out. The elusive nature of Threadgill's kind of progressive jazz has to confound even those most oriented to his quirky pieces. Where the quintet Zooid lands in this quirky quandary of pegging a signature sound is subject to guesswork, but it definitely has its own brand of concentrated cohesion. Between Threadgill's scattershot flute and alto sax, the sleek tuba or trombone work of Jose Davila, and Liberty Ellman's thorny electric guitar, sparks are always flying about in a ...

Very Handy! CD music
$14.99  
A sequel of sorts to Chris Botti's 2006 PBS special, LIVE WITH ORCHESTRA & SPECIAL GUESTS, the September 2008 event LIVE IN BOSTON found the sartorially splendid cool jazz trumpeter accompanied by the Boston Symphony and a collection of celebrity vocalists. Also available as a DVD, the concert delivers an overview of popular music, with jazz standards like "I've Got You Under My Skin" right alongside "Ave Maria" and Sting's "If I Ever Lose My Faith in You." Whether featuring rocker Steven Tyler, AMERICAN IDOL chanteuse Katharine McPhee, or pop-opera superstar Josh Groban, all the tunes are presented in Botti's inimitable, Chet Baker-influenced uber-smooth style.
Chris Botti in Boston features trumpeter Chris Botti along with a bevy of name artists performing live with the Boston Pops Orchestra at Symphony Hall in 2008. Fully documented as a concert film and album, the night is an intimate and soulful birds-eye view of the supple-toned trumpeter who has grown into his role ...
| | Stanley Turrentine Never Let Me Go CD (1963) Bonus Tracks; Japan; Limited Edition; Mini LP Sleeve
Very Handy! music CDs
$33.75
Joined here by organist and longtime foil Shirley Scott, Mr. T gets down and funky over such standards as "God Bless The Child" and "Without A Song," as well as originals like "Major's Minor" and "Sara's Dance." Also features some fine work by drummer Al Harewood.
This 1961 groove date by Stanley Turrentine is an example of him at his fiery peak. Far from the slow groover of the CTI years, Turrentine's early Blue Note sides were massive and bright, saturated in deep soul and blues. This set featured Turrentine's wife, organist and composer Shirley Scott, ...
