This set of unaccompanied guitar solos is quite enjoyable and generally laid-back. Jimmy Ponder had recorded in many settings through the years, but never solo. He emphasizes chords, does not utilize basslines much, and keeps the melodies of the songs nearby. His interpretations are concise and usually at relaxed tempos. The music on Alone can work quite well as backgrounds, but a close listen will reveal subtle and quiet creativity. A special surprise is Ponder's effective vocal (his first on record in 15 years) during "Our Day Will Come." Recommended. ~ Scott Yanow

Alone album

Pat Martino and Wes Montgomery were two of the most famous guitarists to emerge out of the '60s jazz scene, an era that saw the guitar raised to the status of saxophones and trumpets. Martino and Montgomery's styles, however, were quite different, one rapid-fire post-bop, the other blues-based hard bop. This doesn't mean, however, that Martino wasn't -- like everyone else -- influenced ...

$14.69 | | Yoshiyuki Yamanaka Great Time CD (2000)
Alone CD music
$12.89
Tenor sax player Yoshiyuki Yamanaka was leaving nothing to chance for his first album for Origin. He brought three of the top rhythm players extant into the studio, the inestimable jazz artists Junior Mance, Ben Riley, and Earl May. As much as the fine playing by the tenor sax man, these three contribute to the musical achievements attained on this CD. Over his career, Yamanaka has sampled the styles of the great tenors, including John Coltrane, Stan Getz, and Charlie Rouse, before reaching his own stylistic preference, which combines the light, dry sound and the strong sense of musical form of Lester Young, the melodious improvisation of Stan Getz, the laid-back manner of Paul Desmond, and his own lyrical beliefs. This healthful ...

| | Teraesa Vinson Opportunity Please Knock CD (2004)
Alone songs
$17.09
On her debut recording, singer Teraesa Vinson takes a fresh look at time-tested standards while adding a twist or two for good measure. Her smooth sound makes her singing seem effortless at times. She's laid-back but swinging throughout the opener, "What a Difference a Day Made," propelled by her walking rhythm section. Pianist Carlton Holmes shines as Vinson's driving Latin-tinged approach to "The Night Has a Thousand Eyes." Artie Shaw's "Moon Ray," a great song not nearly performed often enough, kicks off with Vinson's spacious duet with bassist Nicki Parrott. The bittersweet ballad "I Can't Make You Love Me," forever associated with Bonnie Raitt's widely known recording, is turned by Venison into a powerful jazz vehicle, with Ron Blake's emotional tenor sax and Dion Parson's solid drumming, while Tom Dempsey's spacious guitar retains a bit of country flavor. "While We're Young" has long been one of Alec Wilder's most beloved compositions and Vinson soars in her joyful interpretation. She romps through Jerome Kern's "The Song Is You" and revives the overlooked gem "Young and Foolish" with a tender performance. She makes the most of singer Sheila Jordan's arrangement of "The Way You Look Tonight," a superb duet with Dempsey. Oscar Brown, Jr.'s "Opportunity Please Knock," a commentary on the civil rights struggle of the 1960s, opens with a gospel flavor, before switching gears into a soul-jazz strut. This is a delightful introduction to Teraesa Vinson, a promising jazz singer. ~ Ken Dryden
A debut recording is an exciting opportunity for music lovers-the chance to discover a talent for the first time. Teraesa Vinson's first recording effort, Opportunity Please Knock, offers a glimpse of a promising future. The collection's combination of well-loved choices from the Great American Songbook, along with a dash of lesser-known tunes and beautiful rendition of a pop standard, will give new audiences a treat.Recorded April 4, 5, and May 24, 2004 at Eastside Sound in New York City, this debut album captures the St. Louis native's lush, ...
