The Manhattan Jazz Quintet have been an on-again, off-again collective of New York City-based musicians who primarily record for the Japanese market. Co-founding members David Matthews (piano and arranger) and trumpeter Lew Soloff are still on hand, though the remainder of the group on this occasion consists of tenor saxophonist Andy Snitzer, bassist Charnett Moffett, and drummer Victor Lewis. Matthews' driving post-bop composition "Wheel of Fortune" provides an excellent introduction, though his scoring of "So What" is somewhat disappointing, as it doesn't make good use of Lewis' immense talent with its lazy funk backbeat. "Someday My Prince Will Come" opens with laconic opening statements by Snitzer and Soloff (the latter on muted horn), though it quickly transforms into a breezy waltz setting. One can feel the energy of a big band in the brisk arrangement of Sammy Nestico's "The Wind Machine," featuring Snitzer to good effect. The old warhorse "On the Sunny Side of the Street" also benefits from Matthews' scoring, transforming it into a hard bop cooker. Even pop artist Leon Russell's often syrupy "A Song for You" sounds good in the hands of the Manhattan Jazz Quintet. If there is a downside to this CD, it is the stingy 46 minutes of music, which seems rather brief in the 21st century for a jazz release. ~ Ken Dryden Someday My Prince Will Come Music Manhattan Jazz Quintet Someday My Prince Will Come Songs | 1. | Wheel Of Fortune |

| | Frank Edwards Georgia Country Blues CD (2005) (Import) United Kingdom
Someday My Prince Will Come
$16.09
The eight sides country bluesman Frank Edwards recorded in Chicago in 1941 for OKeh Records stirred little interest at the time, and the four additional sides he made for Regal Records toward the end of that decade weren't even officially issued until the 1960s, so the album he recorded for blues researcher Pete Lowry's Trix Records label in 1972, Done Some Travelin', was a bit of a revelation in the blues community. Featuring a delightfully wry and ramshackle approach to his material, and singing in a soft, easy, and effortlessly pliant high tenor, Edwards brought a refreshing vitality to the country blues formula, making the album a sort of instant classic of the genre. Done Some Travelin' is reproduced here, minus one instrumental track, and with four of his 1941 OKeh ...

$14.19
"A brilliant, idiosyncratic song stylist who turns each piece into an emotionally taut tale." -Andrew Gilbert, San Jose Mercury News"Where have you been hiding, Ed Reed? The entire jazz world needs to hear you!" -Sheila JordanThis project – my first recording, has been a long time coming. Growing up in Watts in the 30s and 40s provided a rare musical learning environment. I was in high school talent shows with “Little Esther” Phillips and Bobby Nunn of the Coasters. I learned to sing chord changes from the man who would become jazz master Charles Mingus while he was minding his sister’s kids across the street from my house. I left high school before graduation – alienated by teachers who wanted me to go to shoe shop when I wanted to study debate – and joined the Army where I became addicted to heroin. I served four stints in San Quentin and Folsom prisons on drug-related charges. Thanks to my love of jazz I was able to survive those ordeals. In two of my incarcerations, I was a featured singer in the warden’s show performing with an inmate ...
