| | Wynton Marsalis Standards CD Wynton Marsalis Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
The set list of STANDARDS has many of the usual suspects, including "April in Paris," "A Foggy Day," "Django," and "Caravan." It's clear Marsalis isn't out to radically re-invent these tunes, but rather to give them classic renderings, summoning the ghost of early, acoustic post-bop with an appealing sense of balance, beauty, and technical precision.
As a staunch jazz classicist and a vociferous champion of its traditions, Wynton Marsalis should seem right at home playing an album of jazz standards. And, in fact, he does. Marsalis is well suited to classic, acoustic sets, in part because of his clear, lyrical tone on the trumpet, but mostly because of his love for the music (Marsalis's aversion to avant garde, fusion, and other experimental takes on the genre is well known).
Personnel: Wynton Marsalis (vocals, trumpet); Shirley Horn (vocals); Kent Jordan (alto flute); Todd Williams (clarinet, soprano saxophone, tenor saxophone); Alvin Batiste (clarinet); Branford Marsalis (soprano saxophone, tenor saxophone); Wes Anderson (alto saxophone); Herbert Harris , Victor Goines, Walter Blanding (tenor saxophone); Joe Temperley (baritone saxophone); Wycliffe Gordon (trombone); Ellis Marsalis, Eric Reed, Kenny Kirkland, Marcus Roberts (piano); Phil Bowler, Reginald Veal, Robert Hurst , Ron Carter , Ben Wolfe (bass guitar); Jeffrey Watts, Herlin Riley, Jeff "Tain" Watts, Lewis Nash (drums).

Standards album
 $13.85 
An excellent modern mainstream pianist who is a bit taken for granted, Rob Schneiderman was actually one of the better jazz pianists of the 1990s. On Back in Town, he plays standards but often with subtle surprises. For example, the ballad "Darn That Dream" is taken up-tempo, Jobim's "A Felicidade" is stripped of its bossa nova rhythms, "Chega de Saudade" starts out much slower than usual, and the second half of Sonny Rollins' "Paul's Pal" becomes unexpectedly humorous. While the other performances are a bit more conventional, they are no less colorful and swinging. Schneiderman, bassist Boris Kozlov, and drummer Jonathan Blake form a tight trio and often ...

| | Herbie Hancock River: The Joni Letters CD (2007)
Standards music CDs
$10.99 
Any doubts about the incongruity of jazz icon Herbie Hancock covering singer-songwriter extraordinare Joni Mitchell will be obliterated on the first journey through RIVER: THE JONI LETTERS. For starters, the premise is not especially incongruous. Hancock has had a long, adventurous career in which he's traversed genres and masterfully blended styles, while Mitchell has always been deeply influenced by jazz as both a composer and a singer. RIVER features many of Mitchell's finest songs, stunning in their own right and reinterpreted beautifully by Hancock, plus a stellar assortment of musicians and guest vocalists.
Mitchell's pop and ...

Standards songs
$23.39
This release commemorates the 25th year of the jazz supergroup of pianist Keith Jarrett, bassist Gary Peacock, and drummer Jack DeJohnette, one of the longest-running small combos in jazz history. This threesome is sometimes known as "the standards trio," their specialty being classic songs that have become cornerstones of jazz and pre-rock pop ("What's New," "The Song Is You"). One special thing about this trio is that both Peacock and DeJohnette played with ...
| | Keith Jarrett Setting Standards: New York Sessions CDs (2007) Box Set; Special Edition
Standards album
$28.69
Whether that song is the opening moment of Standards, Vol. 1, "Meaning of the Blues," or its hinge piece, "It Never Entered My Mind," or the latter two selections on Standards, Vol. 2, "If I Should Lose You" and "I Fall in Love Too Easily," the effect is the same: these three men can swing as hard as anybody, but they also investigate harmonically, rhythmically, and intuitively the far more subtle aspects these tunes offer as possibilities. Check the intros to both discs for more proof. Another compelling argument is that, given when these recordings were made, when jazz had entered its most reactionary period with the new conservatives like Wynton Marsalis rising in the wake of the backlash against the vanguard of the 1970s and more electrified current of jazz-funk and later smooth jazz, the records of this trio offered another view of the rigidity of the Young Lions at the time. The true respect and even loving view these three had for the canon is everywhere evident from the beginning, but it is not limiting. In fact, if anything, recordings like these offered proof that the tradition itself need not be guarded and held in the new cultural confines it was being courted with, and which sadly now is its "mainstream." Here was new grammar built solidly from the old, where ...

Standards music CDs

I'M GOING TO TELL YOU A SECRET documents the entertainer's "Re-invention World Tour." Listeners would never guess that Madonna was closing in on 50 at the time of the tour: she performs with more authority and energy than ever, alternating new hits ("I Love New York" is from 2005's CONFESSIONS ON A DANCEFLOOR) with quintessential Madonna like "Into the Groove," "Like a Virgin," and "Holiday." A DVD containing a documentary about the tour and performance footage provides additional proof of Madonna's indisputable status as a legend.

The DVD includes the "I'm Going to Tell You a Secret" documentary, an unreleased version of the "American Life" video, never-before-seen footage and more. The songs on the CD were recorded ...
