| | Mitchells & Jones Br Leonard Feather Presents Mitchells & CD - Import Mitchells & Jones Br Discography of CDs
Leonard Feather was the producer of the two unusual and highly regarded Metro Jazz albums compiled in this CD. They were recorded in New York in 1958, and represent a two-way meeting as protracted in the planning as they were successful in the studio. The Mitchell brothers: Whitey (bass) and Red (bass & piano), and trumpeter Blue Mitchell, are featured on the first date, along with André Previn, who, as part of his trio, brought the California-based Red temporarily back to New York. Trombonist Frank Rehak and baritone saxophonist Pepper Adams contributed greatly with their solos. Looking back on the second date, Feather remembered that ''It took a long time to corral all the Jones brothers: Thad Jones, Hank Jones, Elvin Jones, along with bassist Eddie Jones, in a recording studio at one time. The overall feeling of this session was that of a long-delayed and very welcome family reunion in which three major musical talents were able to demonstrate a natural and understandable affinity.''

Leonard Feather Presents Mitchells & album
 $12.05 
When one applies for a job, sometimes the response is that you're overqualified. The same may be the case for Peisha McPhee. Her classically trained, strong, clear voice of operatic proportions doesn't always fit well with the songs on the play list, songs that require somewhat more vocal dynamics than McPhee gives. Trying hard as she can to restrain her powerful voice, she comes on too strong for such pop material as "Ill Wind" and "Little Girl Blue," which require greater subtlety than McPhee provides. At the same time, her voice and demeanor go well with songs that have a strong emotional tug, such as "Who Can I Turn To?" There's also a cleverly contrived dubbed a cappella duet on "Isn't It Romantic." But her forte is in the Gershwin material. "The Man I Love" and the Gershwin medley require the dramatic reading that a formidable voice like McPhee's can give them. Her sole accompaniment for this session is pianist, composer, and ...

$11.09 
This 1979 release from sultry American pop singer Jennifer Warnes features ten tracks.
Having compromised on her Arista debut and gotten a hit single for her trouble, Jennifer Warnes took charge of the recording of her second Arista album, co-producing it and writing three songs, including the title track. It was hard to miss the point when Warnes covered Dionne Warwick's 1963 hit "Don't Make Me Over" (written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David) that she was finished with having people tell her what to do. On her own, her taste was impeccable, her song choices including the work ...

$9.89
"Charlie Byrd With Voices" is an odd subtitle for this mid-'60s album, considering that vocals are only heard sporadically; that voices aren't even heard on some of the tracks; and that, when the vocals are heard, they're wordless background choral bits, not a vocalist or vocalists actually singing lyrics. In truth, it seems like a gimmick or an attempt to sell the album to a crossover audience, the vocal ...

Leonard Feather Presents Mitchells & songs
$12.95
Randy Weston revisits a number of his earlier works with his African Rhythms Trio, though this session is no mere rehashing of old favorites. With bassist Alex Blake and African hand percussionist Neil Clarke, Weston hardly sounds like a man nearing his 80th birthday, as his playing is still very distinctive and full of marvelous dark chords and infectious rhythms. The CD opens with effective extended workouts of "Blue Moses" and "African Sunrise," with the leader ducking out during Blake's potent solo in the former. Weston still uncovers new facets within his decades-old compositions "Berkshire Blues" and "High Fly." His two solo piano features include the mysterious "Route of the Nile," which defies prediction, along ...
