| | Miles Davis Essential Collection CD Miles Davis Discography of CDs
During the time period of 1953-1955, post-Birth of the Cool and pre-collaborations with John Coltrane, Miles Davis was the undisputed King of Hard Bop. These studio sessions, reissued from the Prestige Records vaults, capture a short span when Miles, it could be said, was truly in his prime. All of the 25 cuts on the two-CD set are solid examples of the trumpet sound Davis was brandishing and burnishing, with substantial help on select tracks from the likes of Sonny Rollins, John Lewis, Thelonious Monk, Charles Mingus, Max Roach, Art Blakey, Milt Jackson, and J.J. Johnson. Each disc is filled to the brim with nearly 80 minutes of music, making this ample collection well worth your while at an affordable price. ~ Michael G. Nastos

Essential Collection music CDs
$12.95   
Much like 2001's SONGS I HEARD and 2004's ONLY YOU, 2009's YOUR SONGS finds vocalist/pianist Harry Connick, Jr. coming up with an urbane, passionate set of American popular standards and contemporary pop classics that he both performs and orchestrates. While his previous recordings leaned toward the classicist side--ONLY YOU featured songs of the '50s and '60s--YOUR SONGS features a more eclectic mix of standards and pop songs, with Connick's own lush orchestration lending an overall aesthetic of languid romanticism. To this end, Connick turns Billy Joel's "Just the Way You Are" into a kind of Herb Alpert-inspired '60s pop nugget and, conversely, the Beatles' 1964 classic "And ...

| | Harry Connick, Jr What A Night! A Christmas Album CD (2008)
Essential Collection CD music
$11.39
With his silken, suave, self-assured vocals recalling a cross between Nat "King" Cole and Frank Sinatra, Harry Connick Jr. has a natural voice for celebrating Christmastime. So it's no surprise that with the 2008 holiday season in full swing, Connick returns with his third holiday record, the sprightly WHAT A NIGHT! A CHRISTMAS ALBUM. As it is with his non-Yuletide LPs, WHAT A NIGHT! is a medley of his nimble, elegant takes on time-tested classics and disarming originals. The set opens on Connick's vibrant re-envisioning of "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year," heavy on exotic percussion and redolent of his ...
| | Lonnie Donegan More Than "Pye In The Sky" CDs (1993) (Import) Import; Boxed Set; Germany
Essential Collection music CDs
$203.89
Eight CDs, and nearly 10 hours of music may seem like overkill to most onlookers, but this is a boxed set that truly justifies itself, once you've listened to it. What is here is amazing--this set presents Lonnie Donegan as the prodigious musical talent he actually was, a white bluesman extraordinaire and a country, rockabilly, and gospel singer of no small merit as well. No, he didn't have Elvis Presley's voice, or his way with the girls, but Donegan had musical ...
| | Teddy Wilson CD
Essential Collection songs
$7.89
Teddy Wilson had a wonderful gift for musical paraphrase and melodic symmetry. His light-fingered approach to the piano made him unparalleled among his peers. Art Tatum was a technical genius, and Earl Hines was a great practitioner of stride piano stylings, but Wilson's subtle and dynamic approach made his brand of swing especially popular among audiences.
This budget CD is made up of two sessions from Wilson's later years. The first 10 tracks were recorded in France in 1976 with a trio consisting of Milt Hinton ...

Essential Collection songs
$12.29
Saxophonist Rob Lockart has been a mainstay of the Los Angeles jazz scene for nearly two decades, working most notably with Chris Walden on a number of projects. Parallel Lives is Lockart's first solo album, an agreeable if rarely spectacular example of unfussy modern jazz that occasionally crosses over into too-smooth fuzak. Lockart mostly sticks to tenor on Parallel Lives, although his lyrical soprano soloing on "Waiting for the Truth" is one of the album's highlights, alongside the extended tenor duel with Bob Sheppard ...
