| | Mike Jones Runnin' Wild CD Mike Jones Discography of CDs
Mike Jones is a true virtuoso, a two-handed pianist who often recalls Oscar Peterson while throwing in some heated stride now and then along with basslines worthy of Dave McKenna. On his solo record, recorded live at his regular gig at Buffalo's Marquee At The Tralf, Jones really rips into the veteran standards, many of which date from the swing era. Often drastically changing tempoes for dramatic effect, Mike Jones also shows sensitivity on the occasional ballads and creativity during a few medleys. His hard-swinging approach and light touch make for an appealing combination and this definitive set is easily recommended to fans of swing piano. ~ Scott Yanow

Runnin' Wild songs
$18.29 This eponymous collection from the Past Perfect label collects 37 performances from Ella Fitzgerald's time with the Decca label during the late '30s and '40s -- a period where she was blooming but not yet in full flower. It's also a period that's been surveyed hundreds of times since the beginning of the LP era, and the sound is closer to fair than perfect. With just a few exceptions, ballads and standards are the order of the day, including "How High the Moon," "Oh, Lady Be Good," and "I'm Beginning to See the Light." ~ John Bush

| | Ravi Coltrane In Flux CD (2005)
Runnin' Wild album
$11.89 On his fourth studio effort, saxophonist Ravi Coltrane charts a softly expansive, reverently adventurous course that by no means shatters expectations, but never fails to impress. Quietly plugging away at his career, never exploiting his family name and focusing exclusively on deeply intellectual, harmonically complex post-bop, the least you can feel when listening to Coltrane is respect. He's not the "edgiest" player you'll hear, but such tracks as ...
| | Manny Albam Jazz Workshop CD (1955) (Import) Bonus Tracks; France
Runnin' Wild CD music
$9.85 As an arranger and bandleader, the works of Manny Albam seem better appreciated by jazz musicians than by record labels and the jazz-buying public. This RCA Victor LP collects three separate octets recorded over the span of a few days in December 1955, divided evenly between Albam's swinging originals and imaginative charts of standards ("Anything Goes") and oldies like "Black Bottom" and "Charmaine." The band is anchored by bassist Milt Hinton and drummer Osie Johnson, with a rotating cast of soloists who include Bob Brookmeyer, ...

Runnin' Wild songs
$16.45 In the post-grunge era of the late 90’s there seemed to be an endless supply of garage bands waiting to sell their souls to any generous record label that would give them the time of day. Jack in the Pulpit was not one of them. Wesley Gant and Trey Willis, both music lovers and musicians since age thirteen, spent the latter end of their teen years in the music ministry at their church performing every week for over 150 kids. When they started their own band, it didn’t take long for the word to spread. Within the first six months, they had won two Battle-of-the-Bands and were introduced to producer Mike (M.D.) Thompson. In the six months following, they would sell five hundred copies of their first demo, and earn first place in a national Guitar Center/JBL promotional contest, which sent them to Los Angeles to record their first full-length album. Since then, the band has been featured in several national publications and radio stations, as well as podcasts and other media around the world. They’ve shared the stage with such acts as Mute Math, Paramore, Cute is What We Aim For, and Starflyer 59, and have been touring regularly in Texas and Louisiana. In September of 2006 Jack in the Pulpit released their much-anticipated sophomore release, The Dissonance, to 5-star reviews and a growing fan base. The music video for their latest single “12:04” will be released April 2007. With a resume that can out-rock most any other local act in the fourth-largest city in America, it is surprising that Jack in the Pulpit has never been represented by a management agency or label. They’ve worked alone, attributing their success to their music and word-of-mouth rather than gimmicks and excessive promotion. Uniquely inspiring ...
