| | John Coltrane Olatunji Concert: The Last Live Recording CD (1967)
Oxford Series 11
$12.35 
Digitally remastered by Kevin Reeves (Universal Mastering Studios-East).
Since most (if not all) of the master tapes from legit Impulse! recording sessions have been released, the label continued on with a "digging in the crates" approach to expanding their John Coltrane catalog. Subsequently, they came across this recording that 'Trane arranged to record without the assistance (or interference) of Impulse!. Olatunji Concert: The Last Live Recording documents a live performance on April 23, 1967, one of the last times Coltrane would appear on stage, as he passed three months later. Strictly as a document, ...

| | 451, Matt Jorgensen + Road Begins Here CD (2001)
Oxford Series 11
$14.69
This, the debut album from Matt Jorgensen as a bandleader, is something to be heard. Within, he sets out with a trio of Seattle-based players (Marc Seales on organ rather than his usual piano, Phil Sparks on bass, and Rob Davis on sax) to run through works from the greats of post-bop jazz (Miles, Trane) and a number of their own compositions, as well as a stray Zeppelin number that works incredibly well converted into a space-filled jazz piece. Each of the players adds something to the recording. Davis' sax alternately squeaks and squawks through a solo and holds up tight melodic lines in the main passages. Jorgensen keeps the rhythm throughout, but also adds a flair to the proceedings in the spaces between other performers (as well as his own solos). Sparks provides able backing and a touch of fantasy in his solos, and Seales remains largely in the background ...
| | Marlene Verplanck My Impetuous Heart CD (2000)
Oxford Series 11
$12.09
She's come a long, long way from the time she set the jingle world on end by singing those three syllables, "mmm-mmm-good," and kicking off a commercial idolization of Campbells Soup. My Impetuous Heart, Marlene Ver Planck's 16th album and first for DRG, makes manifest that her voice is as light, lilting, clear, and entertaining as it ever was, maybe even more so. Her backing on this album, with the Hank Jones Trio taking the lion's share of accompanying duties, is as impeccable as the playlist, which blends standards with some compositions that aren't performed often.
There are guest appearances by George Shearing, Marian McPartland, and Bucky Pizzarelli on a couple of the cuts.
Ver Planck is blessed with an unsurpassed sense of timing and phrasing. Listen to her with Hank Jones on the "Friends" medley "Can't We Be Friends" and "Just Friends." Those small pauses between phrases has the listener waiting in anticipation for the next line. No matter what the style, Ver Planck handles it with aplomb. She's bouncy with "Call Me Irresponsible," where Jones gets some solo time, and she's soulful on "Fools Fall in Love." Ver Planck doesn't scat -- at least not very much -- but engages in sophisticated cooing and humming on "...Irresponsible" and on the introduction to Mal Waldron's "Soul Eyes." Pizzarelli's guitar does melodic but unobtrusive yeoman work in support as Ver Planck caresses haunting lyrics penned by the undervalued vocalist Bev Kelly. Excellent playing by Hank Jones' regular bass player, Gary Mazzaroppi, prevails as he weaves in and out with Ver Planck on "Travelin' Light." Ver Planck and Jones deliver ...
