Marian McPartland Live At Shanghai Jazz CD (2002)

Bach: Harpsichord Concertos, Vol. 1

$9.79

Recorded live at Shangai Jazz, Madison, New Jersey on April 24, 2001. Includes liner notes by Chip Deffa. It's long been an adage that true jazz is best enjoyed live in a club setting where anything goes, and discs like this offer genuine support for that idea. First the history: The legendary McPartland is host of the acclaimed NPR series Piano Jazz, and has released over 50 albums with Concord in 25 years (most of them archive documents from the radio program). She first began playing with drummer Joe Morello in New York about 50 years ago, so it's easy to revere what's happening here as a powerful document affirming their legends. Bassist Rufus Reid rounds out the trio. Apart from the back story, this date, recorded at Shanghai Jazz in Madison, N.J., rolls along like the spirited session you expect, full of McPartland's technique blending lower-register dark chords with bright, dancing improvisations. This nuance is captured perfectly on a swinging rendition of Cole Porter's "You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To," which begins as a light stroll before both bass beat and drum brushes heat up, while the guys challenge McPartland to zip along at a brisker pace. McPartland is at her most playful and punchy on the up-tempo Duke Ellington tune "Just Squeeze Me," which features a simple, subtle ...

Barney Kessel Breakfast At Tiffany's/Bossa Nova/Contemporary Latin Rhythms CDs (2002)

Bach: Harpsichord Concertos, Vol. 1

$12.29

Conte Candoli (trumpet); Victor Feldman (vibraphone); Emil Richards (marimba); Keith Mitchell (bass); Earl Palmer, Stan Levey (drums). Originally released on Reprise (6019), Reprise (6049) & Reprise (6073). This double CD is more about Barney Kessel the studio player than Kessel the jazz guitar legend. Still, this compilation of three LPs originally released between 1961-1963 has some good music, and Kessel the jazz man is not entirely absent, even though the settings do not call for him to stretch out. Breakfast at Tiffany's is Kessel's handling of Henry Mancini's music from the classic Blake Edwards film with Audrey Hepburn. With a number entitled "Moon River Cha Cha," listeners pretty much know what's in store for them with this set: instrumental ...

Steve Kuhn October Suite CD (1966) Remastered; Digipak

Bach: Harpsichord Concertos, Vol. 1

$9.65

Composer and arranger Gary McFarland was well-known in the 1960s for his film-scoring abilities and his charting skills with mid-sized bands. McFarland was also, however, a jazz fan, and particularly one of scalar pianist Steve Kuhn. This project features Kuhn in the center of a program made up entirely of McFarland compositions, all but two of which were written specifically for the album. Recorded in 1966, it is an anomaly in the Impulse catalog of the time in that it did not pursue the free jazz realms with the vengeance that most of the label's other acts did during that year. It is also significant that it caught the attention of a young Manfred Eicher, who later signed Kuhn to his ECM label based on the strengths of this recording. Like Keith Jarrett, Kuhn is in the pointillist school of jazz pianists of the era. Unlike Jarrett, Kuhn does not consider force in his attack as necessary as his labelmate does. Instrumentally, Kuhn's customary trio situation -- which is dutifully performed with zeal by Ron Carter and drummer Marty Morell -- is augmented with a string quartet on half the record, and with a wind trio with harp on the other half. The tracks on Side One are, in some ways, less revolutionary yet more fulfilling, because Kuhn is clearly at home with the sonorities afforded by the strings. They don't swing, even on "One I Could Have Loved," from the ...

Baker Street CD (1944) Original Cast Recording

Bach: Harpsichord Concertos, Vol. 1

$9.85

Music composed by Richard Rodgers. Lyrics written by Oscar Hammerstein II. Recorded in 1943 and 1944. Originally released on the Decca label. Includes liner notes by Max O. Preeo. Rodgers & Hammerstein's adaptation of Lynn Riggs' play GREE GROW THE LILACS marked the birth of the modern musical. Music, lyrics, and choreography came together as never before to tell a uniquely American story, and enthralled audiences flocked to the show, breaking Broadway box-office records. In keeping with the production's pioneering spirit, it was also the first instance in which the entire cast was brought to the studio to record the show's musical numbers, thus originating the original cast recording. The concept proved highly successful--it wasn't long after the initial release of six-discs of 78s that another release featuring several songs not included in original set was brought to market. Eventually, the recording was transferred to LP, but without the additional songs; not until the 50th anniversary CD reissue were all the tracks available in one place. While most of the cast, with the possible exception of Celeste Holme, may no longer be well known, the songs are immortal. "Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'," "Surrey With the Fringe on Top," and, of course, "Oklahoma" are classics of American song. ...

Wes Montgomery Full House CD (1962) Bonus Tracks; Remastered

Bach: Harpsichord Concertos, Vol. 1

$7.99

Digitally remastered by JVC using XRCD (Extended Resolution Compact Disc) technology. For starters, it is impossible to go wrong with the personnel on FULL HOUSE. With a rhythm section comprised of alumni from Miles Davis's first quintet (Wynton Kelly on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Jimmy Cobb on drums) and the blazing tenor saxophone of Johnny Griffin complementing Wes Montgomery's bop leads on guitar, listeners will know they are in for a wild ride even before the album begins. Add to this an enthusiastic audience in a Berkeley jazz club in 1962 (where the performance was recorded), and one has a full house in more ways than one. Post bop with a soulful, bluesy edge is the flavor of the day here, and the group works out accordingly on Dizzy Gillespie's "Blue 'N' Boogie" and on Montgomery's own compositions, the title track and "Cariba," both of which meld shuffle-boogaloo rhythms to bop pyrotechnics, casting the whole in a soul-jazz vibe. A beautiful, smoothed-out read of "I've Grown Accustomed ...
