| | Benny Goodman King Swings CD Benny Goodman Discography of CDs
For this fairly rare live session (reissued on CD with one extra selection), Benny Goodman heads a nonet that includes some all-stars (trombonist George Masso, Al Klink on tenor, vibraphonist Peter Appleyard, pianist John Bunch, guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli and bassist Slam Stewart) plus the relatively unknown drummer Joe Corsello and English trumpeter John McLevy. Most of the repertoire is somewhat typical (and greeted enthusiastically by the German audience during the Hamburg concert) but contains a few surprises: Slam Stewart's feature on "Lady Be Good," and a rendition of Stephen Sondheim's "Night Waltz," a hot Dixielandish "That's a Plenty," and a rare version of "Bed Mir Bist Du Schon" which finds BG playing the famous Ziggy Elman fralich interlude on clarinet. ~ 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 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 ...
| | Terell Stafford Fields Of Gold CD (2000) (Import) Germany
King Swings music CDs
$20.39
Armed with a music degree from Maryland University, instruction from the eminent Dr. William Felder at Rutgers University, and the experience of recording sessions with groups headed by top notch contemporary jazz players such as Victor Lewis, Bobby Watson, and Tim Warfield, trumpet player Terell Stafford takes off on his second album as a leader. His first was under the Candid Records banner while this one is with that enterprising and very active German company, Nagel Heyer.
In addition to the obvious quality of the players, this album has much to offer, notably its potpourri of stylist creativity. The first few tracks are right out of the hard bop which dominated jazz during the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, as practiced groups lead by Hank Mobley, the Prestige era John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley (whose playing altoist Antonio Hart comes close to), Woody Shaw, and, especially, Art Blakey. But the young Mr. Stafford doesn't linger in that mode very long, showing that he is not stuck or wedded to a single approach to his jazz. He honors Shirley Scott -- with whom he recorded in 1996 -- with a funky, bluesy, appropriately titled "Ms. Shirley Scott"; as Bill Cunliffe attacks the organ parts in the exuberant style of the dynamic Ms. Scott. Latin is not ignored, but again Stafford mixes his own special musical sauce to spice up the beat. On "If I Perish," a few drops of Spanish influenced harmonies are added resulting in one of the premiere tracks on the album. The influence of the cool, introverted playing of Miles Davis is obvious on "I Believe in You" and "Dear Rudy" while the classic "That's All" is the recipient of ...

| | Flora Purim Perpetual Emotion CD (2001)
King Swings album
$13.25
For those who thought that despite recording, Flora Purim's musical career went out the window with her prison term in the early '90s, or, worse, at the end of 1970s jazz-world fusion boom, think again. Perpetual Emotion is the strongest recording Ms. Purim's monumental talent has given us since 1975's 500 Miles High. Accompanied by life partner and collaborator percussionist Airto Moreira, saxophonist Gary Meek, pianist Christian Jacob, bassist Trey Henry, and acoustic guitarist Oscar Castro Neves, and producer Dom Comardella, Purim has selected material that showcases the ease and flow of a voice that contains within it the passion of Brazil and the airiness of a spring day. Some of those selections, such as Cesar Mariano's "Saudade," offer the deep melancholy of looking back to places you can never again visit and reveal within them the sweeter memories they hold. Chris Jacob's piano leads the way trough the tune and strips it of any false "exotic" artifice. It's a jazz ballad with a Brazilian melody and rhythm, eased ...
