The story behind Nancy King's LIVE AT JAZZ STANDARD WITH FRED HERSCH is almost as amazing as the music on the album. Jazz vocalist King had never met pianist Hersch before the night of the performance, and the extraordinary music they made together was performed without planning, rehearsal, or even a set list. The resulting music belies the facts of the story, however: King and Hersch sound like they've been playing together for years on classic tunes such as "I Fall in Love Too Easily," "Ain't Misbehavin'," and "Autumn in New York." The performances, the chemistry, and the caliber of musicianship are remarkable throughout.
Personnel: Nancy King (vocals); Fred Hersch (piano).
JazzTimes (p.86) - "Hersch's reputation as one of the very best compers and swingers in the business is reinforced. Each track is a highlight." Live At Jazz Standard Music Nancy King Live At Jazz Standard Songs Live At Jazz Standard Review

Purchase Live At Jazz Standard CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Denny Zeitlin Slickrock CD (2004)
Live At Jazz Standard album
$15.45 Denny Zeitlin has worked with various trios over his long career and he has likely found the ideal rhythm section with bassist Buster Williams and drummer Matt Wilson. It doesn't take long for them to break away from the predictable path through "You and the Night and the Music," as each of them finds adventurous lines within their respective roles. "Put Your Little Foot Out," forever associated with Miles Davis, is transformed into a slow waltz with a bit of dark undertone. Zeitlin adds a touch of mystery with his unusual introduction to "It Could Happen to You," taking his time to gradually work into its theme. His odd rhythmic approach is achieved by constantly shifting the meter, as well as the numerous shifts in the key, setting it well apart from other interpretations. The pianist's moving solo improvisation segues into the standard "Body and Soul," which ...
| | I Was There: Roger Kellaway Plays From The Bobby Darin Songbook CD (2005)
Live At Jazz Standard CD music
$13.39 With renewed focus on the late singer Bobby Darin in 2004, due in part to the making of a film biography starring Kevin Spacey, the timing became ripe for a musical tribute album to him as well. Pianist Roger Kellaway served as Darin's musical director between 1967 and 1968. He got to know him very well and recognized him as more than just an ambitious singer continuously in search of a hit, as many critics labeled him at that time. Darin often had in mind what he wanted in an arrangement and sang ideas for his pianist to score. When Kellaway was working for the singer, Darin was looking for more than rehashes of his earlier pop hits. The pianist therefore chose to salute him by recording a mix of standards from earlier decades, including "My Buddy," "My Funny Valentine" and "All By Myself," along with 1940s jazz ballads ...
| | Bill Holman Band Live CD (2005)
Live At Jazz Standard music CDs
$13.45 Although Bill Holman is one of the all-time great arrangers and the leader of a stirring big band in the Los Angeles area, this was his first recording as a leader in seven years. Performed at a Maynard Ferguson tribute convention/festival put on by Ken Poston, the music played by the Bill Holman Orchestra is a little more boppish than usual for a Holman set, particularly the romping "Zoot 'n' Al," a tribute to Zoot Sims and Al Cohn. However, Holman's arrangements are quite complex, full of surprises and full of excitement. Whether it be a major reworking of the Beatles' "A Day in the Life" and Charlie Parker's "Donna Lee," or such originals as "Woodrow" (for Woody Herman) and "The Bebop Love Song," the music is full of surprising twists and turns. The solos are uniformly excellent from the impressive crew of Los Angeles-area players, but it is the Holman arrangements that are most unique. Highly recommended to fans of modern jazz big bands. ~ Scott Yanow

| | Phil Woods American Songbook CD (2006)
Live At Jazz Standard songs
$14.35 Phil Woods, the great American saxophonist, has been featured in more diverse settings than almost anyone in the history of the music. His constant challenging of himself as a player, bandleader, and composer has been admirable since his debut set as a leader. While standards sets these days are not only a dime a dozen but mostly cop-outs from established artists and newcomers who either lost or never had the chops to execute them with any aesthetic imprint, let alone the one they deserve, septuagenarian ...
