| | Joe Williams Having The Blues Under A European Sky CD Joe Williams Discography of CDs
HAVING THE BLUES UNDER A EUROPEAN SKY is a collection of some very exciting live performances Williams gave in Europe in the early 70's-a decade after embarking on a solo career. Williams rose to fame as Count Basie's vocalist, and the first seven tracks (featuring small groups of varying personnel led by the wonderful pianist Ellis Larkins) show Williams' supreme artistry as a jazz singer. The arrangements are wide open and rich in vocal improvisation. Williams reunites with The Count Basie Orchestra on the last six tracks. These numbers find him in marvelous voice, at the top of his game, and still swinging his unique blend of sophisticated jazz blues at a time when most ears in the world were tuned to rock. If you're a Williams fan, you'll want to own these recordings.
Recorded live in Europe in early 1970's. Includes liner notes by Herman Lara.
Personnel: Joe Williams (vocals); Zoot Sims (tenor saxophone); Clark Terry (trumpet); Ellis Larkin (piano); Major Holley, George Duvivier (bass); J.C. Heard, Mickey Roker (drums); Count Basie Orchestra.

 $13.35  
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the formation of the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra, and as an excuse to play the compositions of the late great Thad Jones, a group of top jazz veterans was enlisted for this project. Michael Patterson arranged 11 of Jones' songs, adapting Thad's own arrangements, which were originally made for either combos or a big band, for the all-star octet. Each of the veteran musicians had an association with Thad Jones. Happily, they all sound in pretty good form, with the tenors of Benny Golson, James Moody, and Frank ...

It took Frank Rosolino's widow Diane many years to find a label willing to release this music, and that is understandable. Frank Rosolino, one of jazz's greatest trombonists, went crazy on November 26, 1978, shooting two of his sons and killing himself. The completely unexpected turn of events from a trombonist who was witty and always seemed in good spirits ...

$13.25 
At the time this recording was made in the spring of 2006, the DePaul University Jazz Ensemble was one of the top college jazz bands. With tight ensembles and inspired solos by its members, the big band is heard live at the Jazz Showcase in Chicago, directed by veteran educator Bob Lark, who is also a fine trumpeter and flugelhornist. The band backs veteran alto saxophonist Phil Woods on the first seven selections, a musician who knows a potent group when he hears it. Woods is obviously very familiar with the songs, most of which he has played for decades, including standards like "It's You or No One" (played in a breezy post-bop ...

Dizzy Gillespie is heard leading his big band in a series of live performances during the summer of 1946, recorded by the legendary Jerry Newman, a fan who made historic transcription discs of many groups during the era. Unlike many of the commercial issues that have appeared over the years, Uptown was able to obtain the original discs from Newman's family, so with skilled restoration, the audio is quite impressive throughout this two-CD set. The fidelity is especially great for the horns and reeds, while the rhythm section isn't ...
