| | Janet Lawson Quintet CD Janet Lawson Discography of CDs
This CD consists of the albums THE JANET LAWSON QUINTET and DREAMS CAN BE, originally released in 1981 & 1983 respectively.
One of the finest jazz singers to emerge in the late '70s, Janet Lawson has surprisingly only led two record sessions. A brilliant scatter and a consistently strong improviser, Lawson is joined on this 1980 LP by baritonist Roger Rosenberg (who also plays soprano and flute), pianist Bill O'Connell, bassist Ratzo Harris, and drummer Jimmy Madison. The highly appealing vocalist really digs into the six tunes, which include "Jitterbug Waltz," Blossom Dearie's "Sunday Afternoon," "'Round Midnight," and "So High." Lawson should be persuaded to record again. ~ Scott Yanow

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 ...

$12.78
On an inside panel of the booklet for House Full of Floors, Evan Parker's second release for John Zorn's Tzadik imprint (and his third album of 2009), he writes simply of the session as if framing a poem: "The plan was to / record the trio. / Aleks Kolkowski / came to make some / wax cylinder recordings / and he stayed / to play some / quartet pieces." The truth of the matter is, this is hardly disingenuous. The recording actually sounds exactly like its description. Parker, guitarist John Russell, and bassist John Edwards are featured on the majority of this beautiful set in a series of trios and duets that are knotty, subtle, and deeply intuitive improvisational pieces. Kolkowski joins them on a Stroh viola, the saw, and wax cylinder recorder on two tracks as well. Parker's signature as an improviser is immediate. Whether it's a series of single-note lines and phrases or tonal clusters rushing ...

Janet Lawson Quintet music CDs
$8.99
1993's SUM SERIOUS BLUES finds Smith a seasoned soul veteran with almost 40 years of performing under his belt. As is abundantly clear here, he is still able to swing as hard as ever. Backed with a full band including two trombones, three saxes, trumpet, guitar, harmonica and rhythm section, Smith is no less dextrous than in his Blue Note and Verve years. The ensemble work, thanks to conductor/arranger Johnny Pate, provides powerful, large-scale color to the organist's manipulations.
Hard-swinging blues is still Smith's forte, and he delivers in cuts like the title track, "Round The Corner" and "Moof's Blues." Surprises like the Smith favorite "The Sermon," a vocal duet between Bernard ...

LIVE IN PARIS won the 2003 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Album.
ONE NIGHT IN PARIS is a 2-cd version with 2 bonus tracks of the Verve release, LIVE IN PARIS.
Diana Krall is best known as a purveyor of gently drifting ballads, with a trademark laconic delivery. Such preconceptions may be slightly nudged, if not altered, when her LIVE IN PARIS concert document kicks off with a swinging, up-tempo "I Love Being Here With You" that finds her making like Annie Ross, while also giving her top-shelf band a chance to blow. Aficionados of those aforementioned narcotized standards will soon be set to their ease however, as Krall moves slowly and deliberately through the likes of "Let's Fall in Love" and a bossa nova-tinged "I've Got You Under My Skin," her voice sailing atop a velvet sea of strings provided by Alan Broadbent and the Orchestra Symphonies European. Towards the end of the program, she turns to more modern contributors to the Great American (or ...
