Although he has been a top clarinetist for over 30 years and a popular attraction at classic jazz parties and festivals, clarinetist Chuck Hedges has had relatively few opportunities to lead his own record dates; in fact, this Arbors CD was his first session as a leader in nine years. Pianist Eddie Higgins (showcased on his "Magnolia Rag"), bassist Bob Haggart and drummer Gene Estes are swinging and supportive of Hedges, who is in top form on such numbers as "There Is No Greater Love," "Samba Dese Days," and "Cheek to Cheek." A superior advanced swing date. ~ Scott Yanow Recording information: Starke Lake Studios, Ocoee, FL (12/07/1992/12/08/1992). Chuck Hedges: Clarinet, Eddie Higgins: PianoBob Haggart: Bass, Gene Estes: DrumsCommentary by Eddie HigginsOn a warm, humid afternoon in December, 1992, a group of veteran jazz musicians gathered in Orlando, Florida to make a recording. Although all of them were friends and had worked together in various combinations before, this would be their first time in a recording studio as a quartet, and the producer was anxiously awaiting the first sign that his hunch was correct: that these four would work smoothly together and be able to strike the sparks of inspiration that distinguish a truly memorable recording date from one that merely goes through the motions. He didn't have long to wait: from the first take it was obvious that the rhythm section was compatible and there would be no time wasted in getting to the heart of the matter. The first tune illustrates perfectly this chemistry: "There Is No Greater Love" has been a musicians' favorite since it was written by Isham Jones in 1936. Bob Haggart has been an admired bass player since the mid-30's, and he and Gene Estes (drums) and I (piano) felt perfectly at ease with this time-honored standard. Chuck Hedges, on clarinet, is also no stranger to fine tunes (he picked all the material for this session) and the result was an inspired performance: swinging, fluid and articulate.
Personnel: Chuck Hedges (clarinet); Eddie Higgins (piano); Gene Estes (drums).
Liner Note Author: Eddie Higgins.

Purchase No Greater Love CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Ray Davies Kinks Choral Collection CD (2009)
No Greater Love album
$15.05 Orchestral and choral arrangements of rock songs have been a curious subgenre ever since the mid-'60s when Andrew Loog Oldham arranged The Rolling Stones Songbook for syrupy strings, but The Kinks Choral Collection stands apart from the pack for the simple reason that it's not the project of some associate or admirer, but rather chief Kink Ray Davies. His very presence as arranger and lead vocal means The Kinks Choral Collection isn't nearly as stuffy and middlebrow as so many of these orchestral rock albums; he manages to inject some semblance of rock & roll by pushing ...

$9.99 Herb Alpert/Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass/Tijuana Brass: Herb Alpert (trumpet); John Pisano (electric guitar); Tonni Kalash (trumpet); Bob Edmondson (trombone); Lou Pagani (piano); Pat Senatore (bass guitar); Nick Ceroli (drums).
Herb Alpert was still using an array of SoCal studio all-stars as his Tijuana Brass when South of the Border (1964) began to restore the combo's good name after the modest Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass, Vol. 2 (1963) failed to ignite a fire in listener's ears. In his essay accompanying Shout! Factory's 2005 Signature Series reissue of South of the Border, Alpert comments that the Sol Lake composition ...

| | Steve Kuhn Countdown CD (1999)
No Greater Love music CDs
$13.79 A neglected figure in the overall scheme of modern jazz, perhaps this magnificent recording from the veteran pianist Kuhn will somewhat salve that wound. He is masterfully impressionistic, skillful as any, extra-lyrical and his talent is in full array with substantive help from bassist David Finck and drummer Billy Drummond. In his flowery liner notes, Rafi Zabor refers to Kuhn's sound as that of utter "refracted beauty, " as concise and apt a description for Kuhn's consistently brilliant musings. The bulk of the program is standards, reharmonized as the quick witted John Coltrane title track, ...
