The delightful opener here, "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town," points the way for the rest of the set. The three players embrace the tunes with a supple looseness, moving easily from angular introspection to bona fide swinging.
Recorded at the end of 1985, this album grew out of a session for an earlier album on the same label, QUESTIONS. Producer Nils Winther was so delighted with Bley's take on "But Beautiful" from that earlier session that he encouraged the pianist to try a whole set of standards.

My Standard music CDs
$12.59 
The 2002 vocal jazz scene shifts back to what it must have been like during Duke Ellington's highly successful residency at the Cotton Club with the debut of Jackie Ryan's Passion Flower. The sultry vocalist debuted with 14 tracks that exude style, class, and sensuality and a true knowledge of the jazz vocals idiom. Ryan has a marvelous voice, and her approach is tasteful, swinging, and heartfelt on her flower-medley tribute to Billy Strayhorn, which she has titled "A Bouquet for Billy." The medley consists of "A Flower Is a Lovesome Thing" and the title track, "Passion Flower." She ponders Strayhorn's classic gems and gives them a new melodic fragrance. She later tackles the supreme mood piece, "Mood Indigo," with a blues flavor, abstract instrumental accompaniment but not with the famous "jungle" style Duke Ellington was known for at the Cotton Club. In addition ...
| | Moot Davis CD (2004)
My Standard songs
$9.45
Although born and raised in New Jersey, Moot Davis has honky tonk in his blood. He sounds like a throwback to the time when Hank Williams Sr. ruled country music. In fact, there is a lot of Hank Sr. in Davis' twangy timbre as he sings about such classic country themes as love, heartache, drinking, and traveling the rails and roads. Expertly aided by his producer/guitarist/label owner Pete Anderson, Davis takes a simple, lean approach to songwriting, which totally fits his traditional country style. It is to Davis' credit that all of the songs on this record sound like jukebox gems from the '50s and '60s. The superb "One of a Kind" could have been a love song standard in a number of country music eras. It's also to Davis' (and Anderson's) credit that this album bursts with life, and not simply being a studious re-creation of a bygone musical style. Anderson's savvy production touch can be found in the mournful "Last Train Home," which inventively utilizes mandolin and trumpet to create a particularly country noir mood. Also making a valuable contribution is Gabe Witcher, whose fiddle work enlivens tunes like "Jug of Wine" and "Nothin'." Davis travels a similar road as such fellow tradition-minded honky-tonkers as the Derailers and Wayne Hancock, with hints of the former heard in "Thanks for Breakin' My Heart" and the latter in "Highway Kind." Still a relatively young performer, Davis, however, demonstrates a veteran's presence from the opening track "Thick of It Now" -- which declares, "I'm going to do it my way" -- through the equally assertive album closer "Stay Gone." Consistently strong, this impressive (although brief, at under 30 minutes) debut disc signals that there is another talented honky-tonker interested in carrying on Hank Sr.'s musical legacy. ~ Michael Berick
"Moot Davis is primed to be the leader in the new insurgent country music scene." -Entertainment Today "These songs are so cool, I can't even choose a favorite....This guy's got it." -Kathy Coleman Takebackcountry.com/About.comAt a time when a lot of popular music is canned, sampled, and cold, Moot Davis plays music from the heart that connects the past with the future. Moot makes music that defies categorization. Born in New Jersey to a family who haled from West Virginia, Moot was exposed to both current music from the streets of Trenton and the deep musical influences of his family's southern heritage. The combination produced a unique sound which can only be defined as "honky tonk" - "roots" tunes with a distinct edge and attitude. ...
