Whereas most alto saxophonists of his generation were (quite understandably) under the sway of Charlie Parker stylistically, Lee Konitz always blazed his own path, his horn lines sounding almost detached and dry-ice cool even on the most scorching tunes. While some musicians find their forte and never stray far from it, Konitz challenges himself with vastly different contexts--playing accompanied only by bass and drums, working with a string section, embarking on improvisations with guitarist Derek Bailey, and even contributing to the Elvis Costello album NORTH.

MORE LIVE-LEE was recorded at the Los Angeles, California club the Jazz Bakery, with Konitz accompanied only by the nimble, lyrical piano playing of Alan Broadbent. The program is mostly standards, performed with a mixture of warm, subtle swing, intellectual wit, and brevity (the longest tune is eight minutes), with a complete lack of overt sentimentality. A particular high point is the elegant, melodious original "Nothin'," where the artist's alto soars completely alone. Though not an ideal introduction (that would be SOUND OF SURPRISE or MOTION), fans of Konitz won't be disappointed by this exceptional live outing.

5 stars Inmejorable
Una de los mejores grabaciones, entre las que yo conozco, de Lee Konitz. Intimista, disfrutable, con un acople perfecto con Alan Broadbent. Un CD que no debería faltar en la discoteca de ningún amante del jazz.

Diana Krall When I Look In Your Eyes   (1998)

Super Audio CD (Playable only on SACD-capable players) $14.75  4.3 stars Top 500
WHEN I LOOK IN YOUR EYES won the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Performance and for Best Engineered Album, Non Classical. WHEN I LOOK IN YOUR EYES was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Album Of The Year. This is a Super Audio CD playable only on Super Audio CD players. WHEN I LOOK IN YOUR EYES, a 1999 Verve release, heralds the return of the cool and groovy Latin-tinged jazz of the '60s. Upon hearing the opening track, a bossa-nova-fied version of Irving Berlin's "Let's Face The Music And Dance," one might think he had accidentally put on a Getz/Gilberto record. In fact, it's hard to avoid comparing Krall's breathy alto to that of Astrud Gilberto-particularly on the more samba-flavored numbers. But Krall ultimately resists comparisons. Her simultaneously textured and smooth tone, warm timbre, and conversational phrasing ...

Dolly Parton & Emmy Rossum/Iri Dement/Emmylou Harris/Sara Eva The soundtrack to a film about a woman music scholar's travels in Appalachia is largely devoted to contemporary versions of traditional folk songs by an impressive roster of female vocalists. Rosanne Cash, Emmylou Harris, Maria McKee, Dolly Parton (dueting with Emmy Rossum), Gillian Welch, Iris DeMent, and Patty Loveless are the big names here, though there are a few lesser-known singers like Julie Miller, Deanna Carter, and Sara Evans. While the interpretations are not scintillating and not the best versions of the songs you could possibly find, they're well done and make for a consistent listen, particularly by various-artist soundtrack standards. Occasionally the ...

CD $14.05  5 stars Audio Samples
Rock & Roll's Classic Love Songs is an 18-song disc with a misleading title. These love songs are definite classics of the early '60s, but they are a lot more pop than they are rock & roll. There's no Eddie Cochran or Chuck Berry or Little Richard; instead, there are plenty of sweet melodies from the likes of Ketty Lester ("Love Letters"), Johnny Tillotson ("Poetry in Motion"), the Crests ("Angels Listened In"), the Casinos ("Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye"), Frankie Avalon ("Just Ask Your Heart"), and the Dixie Cups ("Chapel of Love"). It's not without reason that this was released a couple weeks before Valentine's Day; it's not a bad compilation of songs from the period that fit the mood. ~ Andy Kellman This collection from the always-reliable Varese Sarabande label compiles 18 chart hits that appeared roughly between 1959 and 1967. Each song appears in its original charting version; the liners include label, arrangement, songwriting, and production credits, as well as the songs' highest charting position. The set isn't chock-full ...

Afternoon In Paris
John Lewis Afternoon In Paris CD  (1958)

More Live-Lee album
CD $9.95  Audio Samples
Digitally remastered by Gene Paul (DB Plus, New York, New York). It was in Paris that John Lewis co-led this 1956 date with Sacha Distel, a French guitarist who never became well-known in the U.S. but commanded a lot of respect in French jazz circles. The same can be said about the other French players employed on Afternoon in Paris -- neither tenor saxophonist Barney Wilen nor bassist Pierre Michelot were huge names in the U.S., although both were well-known in European jazz circles. With Lewis on piano, Distel on guitar, Wilen on tenor, Michelot or Percy Heath on bass, and Kenny Clarke or Connie Kay on drums, the part-American, part-French group of improvisers provides an above-average bop album that ranges from "Willow Weep for Me," "All The Things You Are," ...
