| | Ruby Braff Controlled Nonchalance At The Regattabar, Vol. 2 CD (2005)
Bob's Ben CD music
$13.49 
Although cornet player Ruby Braff passed away in 2002, Arbors has continued to honor his legacy by releasing previously unavailable material. As a result, Braff's oeuvre continues to grow along with his reputation as a central figure in revival jazz. Controlled Nonchalance at the Regattabar, Vol. 2, recorded on November 26 and 27, 1993, may be an odd title for an album, but the music is fabulous. Braff is joined by tenor Scott Hamilton, pianist Dave McKenna, guitarist Gray Sargent, bassist Marshall Woods, and drummer Chuck Riggs for a 70-minute set featuring mostly familiar standards. As one might guess from glancing at the lengths of these pieces, there's a lot of room for spontaneous soloing on extended versions of "It's All Right with Me" and "Pennies from Heaven." These ...

| | Don Menza Menza Lines CD (2005)
Bob's Ben songs
$13.45
Team a major arranger (Don Menza) with some of Los Angeles' top musicians and superior straight-ahead material and the result is a memorable big band recording. Many of the selections heard on this live date are based on familiar chord changes, with "Gravy" being better known as "Walkin'," "Faviana" actually being a disguised "Stella by Starlight," and "Time to Leave" being based on "After You've Gone." The arrangements are always swinging and full of surprises, and the many soloists include Menza on tenor (showcased on a rare instrumental version of "Nina Never Knew"), trombonists Bob McChesney and Alex Iles, trumpeter Don Rader, altoist Lanny Morgan on "Hark the Harold," and trumpeter Bobby Shew on "Prelude to a Kiss." Every selection is fun to hear, making one wish that Don Menza would lead many more big band sets in the future. At least one can be grateful for this gem. ~ Scott Yanow
Legendary Tenor Saxophonist Don Menza brings us his big band recorded in Los Angeles in 2004. This is the first Don Menza Big Band recording since Don's famous "Burnin'" album of the early 1980's. Don is joined by such jazz stars as Bobby Shew, Lanny Morgan, ...

| | Scott Wendholt What Goes Unsaid CD (2000)
Bob's Ben music CDs
$13.09
This solid quintet session is Wendholt's first since the release of 1997's excellent Beyond Thursday. All the tracks except for "September in the Rain" (played in a 5/4 arrangement) were written by Wendholt, in contrast to the thoroughly mixed format of the previous record. Wendholt's unabashedly straightahead writing, while not terribly original, takes some interesting twists and turns -- consider the busy, unison 16th-note lines that arise quite unexpectedly ...

| | Yoshiyuki Yamanaka Great Time CD (2000)
Bob's Ben album
$13.05
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 marriage is heard ...
