Down Beat (11/96, p.53) - 4.5 Stars (out of 5) - "...PORTRAITS IN BLUE begins with Roberts' often stunning revamping of Gershwin's `Rhapsody In Blue.' He fleshes out the jazz underpinnings already present in the original work and lets them breathe..."
JazzTimes (10/96, p.86) - "...The recording and the concept fall within the realm of symphonic jazz. Thankfully, there's a lack of pretense that usually accompanies such projects....this is an enjoyable album that achieves its goals with all the neatness, thoroughness and ingenuity typical of Roberts."
Musician (8/96, pp.87-88) - "...It takes guts to anticipate critical disapproval by grabbing onto something like the `Rhapsody' and really shaking it up. Marcus Roberts, the most idiosyncratic and uncompromising pianist of his generation, does exactly this on PORTRAITS IN BLUE..." Portraits In Blue Review

Purchase Portraits In Blue CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Allman Brothers Band Dreams CDs (1989) Box Set
Portraits In Blue album
 $38.09   
DREAMS is a 4-CD box set compiling in chronological order tracks by the Allman Brothers Band, as well as tracks by bands featuring one or more member of the Allman Brothers Band and solo performances by Gregg Allman and Dickey Betts.
Recorded between 1966 & 1988. Includes a 32-page illustrated booklet and liner notes by John Swenson.
Like nearly all box sets, DREAMS has plenty to recommend it-and a few nagging drawbacks. The set's chief shortcoming is its two conflicting goals: providing an overview of the Allmans' history, thus attracting buyers seeking the ultimate hits package, and including enough unreleased tracks and rarities to appeal to the band's most devoted fans. As a result, DREAMS is neither the definitive Allman Brothers collection nor the gift to hardcore fans that, say, THE BOOTLEG SERIES is to Dylan-philes.
DREAMS' strengths are considerable. First and foremost, the box contains nearly five wall-to-wall hours of great music. By including everything from early demos to Gregg Allman and Dickie Betts' solo material, DREAMS does a great job of tracing the ...

Portraits In Blue CD music
$14.55
A veteran tenor saxophonist who gained early recognition for his work with the Lennie Tristano school, Ted Brown has remained fairly obscure despite his consistent creativity. This superior trio set with the great bebop pianist Hod O'Brien and bassist Jacques Schols, features Brown at the top of his form. Other than his own "Smog Eyes" and the lesser-known "Trane's Slo Blues," all of the tunes are familiar bebop standards, but Brown, O'Brien, and Schols uplift and infuse ...
| | Poco Forgotten Trail (1969-74) CDs (1990)
Portraits In Blue music CDs
$15.95 
This compilation contains 38 songs, including many new remixes from original master tapes, 6 previously unreleased songs, alternate versions of 3 others, and a comprehensive 36 page booklet, with historic liner notes and photos.
This excellent two-disc collection captures Poco's finest moments from the days when they were laying down the template for all the country-rock music that was to follow. It's hard to remember, but when the Eagles first hit the scene, they were thought by many to be a Poco-wannabe band. Listen to this set and you'll hear why. The Forgotten Trail (1969-1974) culls tracks from Poco's first eight albums, as well as unreleased cuts and singles. From the classic anthem "Pickin' Up the Pieces," which kicks things off, through "You Better Think Twice," "C'mon," ...
