| | Harry Babasin And The Jazz Pickers/Terry Gibbs CD Harry Babasin Discography of CDs
Harry Babasin was (along with Oscar Pettiford) probably the first bassist to play jazz cello. This LP reissue of a set originally for the MOD (Music of the Day) label features Babasin's Jazz Pickers (a quartet with guitarist Dempsey Wright, bassist Ben Tucker, and drummer Bill Douglass), plus guest vibraphonist Terry Gibbs. The music (five Babasin originals and three veteran standards) swings hard but lightly with Babasin's cello solos being the date's most unusual feature. ~ Scott Yanow

Harry Babasin And The Jazz Pickers/Terry Gibbs songs
$12.65
LOOKIN' GOOD contains 2 original LPs on 2 CDs: GETTING SOME FUN OUT OF LIFE (1977)/LET'S EAT HOME (1989).
This two-CD set by Dave Frishberg in Concord's budget series combines two complete releases, Getting Some Fun Out of Life and Let's Eat Home. Disc one features the singing pianist in a mix of traditional jazz, stride, and swing, in a quintet that includes alto saxophonist Marshall Royal and a fine yet unheralded veteran of many studio sessions, trumpeter Bob Findley. Frishberg's take of "Sweet Lotus Blossom" is sweet and slow, followed by a peppy "I Would Do Anything for You." He delves into the Duke Ellington songbook with two overlooked gems, Ellington's snappy miniature "Stevedore Stomp" and Billy Strayhorn's richly textured "Violet Blue," highlighted by Frishberg's sparse piano and the gorgeous playing of Royal. The pianist does justice to solo interpretations of Fats Waller's "Alligator Crawl" and Jelly Roll Morton's playful rag "King Porter Stomp." Only one Frishberg original is present, his warm tribute "Dear Bix," in which he honors the tragically short-lived cornetist with an almost conversational vocal; a buoyant solo version of Beiderbecke's "In a Mist" is a nice bonus. The second disc is also ...
| | Until We Meet Again: Napua Davoy Sings The Music Of Andre Kondakov CD (2000)
Harry Babasin And The Jazz Pickers/Terry Gibbs album
$13.85
Quite often, one can easily assume that a jazz vocal date will contain some standards. The more predictable vocalists, unfortunately, insist on inundating listeners with the same old 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s standards and performing them the same old way; others are more adventurous in their choices of material. A singer with some guts and imagination won't necessarily stay away from Cole Porter, George Gershwin, or Irving Berlin, although he/she will also consider everyone from Horace Silver to Milton Nascimento to Sting fair game. But it's rare to find a jazz vocal album that contains nothing but original lyrics; Until We Meet Again is such a rarity. This good-to-excellent CD finds vocalist Napúa Davoy providing lyrics for the melodies of Russian jazz pianist Andrei Kondakov -- saxman Bobby Watson's "Simon Says" (which Davoy also provides lyrics for) and Davoy's own "A Little Time for Me" are the only melodies on the CD that Kondakov didn't write. With Kondakov on acoustic piano, Allen Won on soprano sax, Charnett Moffett on ...
