It isn't hard to understand why Shawnn Monteiro would call this release One Special Night. Recorded live at Sculler's in Boston in 2002, this CD finds the underexposed jazz singer joining forces with some of bop's true heavyweights, including trumpeter Clark Terry, bassist Jimmy Woode (Monteiro's father), and drummer Jimmy Cobb; John Harrison III, a capable pianist, is also on board. One Special Night underscores the fact that while Monteiro is hardly the most original or groundbreaking singer in the world, she's enjoyably good at what she does -- and the singer's basic recipe (a strong Carmen McRae influence with traces of Sarah Vaughan and Marlena Shaw) serves her well when she wraps her big, full-bodied voice around overdone standards like "Just in Time," "All My Tomorrows," and "The Nearness of You." Monteiro isn't terribly adventurous -- not stylistically, not in her choice of material -- but she gets the job done and does so in an expressive, soulful fashion. Although Monteiro is featured on most of the tracks, she lays out a few times and lets the quartet take over on Thelonious Monk's "Let's Cool One" and Terry's playful "Having Chit'lins on the Champs Elysees, Paris" (which gives Terry a chance to sing and have some humorous fun with his Mumbles character). It should be noted that Terry was 81 when One Special Night was recorded -- not exactly a spring chicken, but the veteran improviser certainly isn't showing his age on any of these performances; in fact, his chops are holding up impressively well. One Special Night doesn't offer a lot of surprises, but it's a solid disc that paints an attractive, if conventional, picture of Monteiro and illustrates Terry's remarkable durability as a musician. ~ Alex Henderson

One Special Night
$12.65
UK expanded edition reissue of landmark 1960 album includes 2 bonus tracks. WSM. 2005.
Personnel: John Coltrane (soprano & tenor saxophones); McCoy Tyner (piano); Steve Davis (bass); Elvin Jones (drums).
Recorded at Atlantic Studios, New York, New York on October 21, 24 & 26, 1960. Includes liner notes by Bill Coss.
John Coltrane's 1961 to 1963 European tours have been available in various set configurations on numerous albums over the years, some legally licensed and some not. As a rule, these are fine shows, although the sound quality can vary tremendously depending on the source tape used. Every Coltrane fan has a couple of these "gray area" live sets in his collection. This one has sound variances from track to track, ranging from fair to poor -- sometimes you can hear the piano and sometimes you can't; sometimes the drums are fine and sometimes they are a high washout of cymbals. Trane always comes through the tape hiss and din, though, and as archival records of a jazz giant playing live, these sorts of collections have their usefulness, but only deeply obsessive Coltrane fans really need to seek them out. ~ Steve Leggett
Although seemingly impossible to comprehend, this landmark jazz recording was made in less than three days. All the more remarkable is that the same sessions which yielded My Favorite Things would also inform a majority of the albums Coltrane Plays the Blues, Coltrane's Sound, and Coltrane Legacy. It is easy to understand the appeal that these sides continue to hold. The unforced, practically casual soloing styles of the assembled quartet -- which includes Coltrane (soprano/tenor sax), McCoy Tyner (piano), Steve Davis (bass), and Elvin Jones (drums) -- allow for tastefully executed passages à la the Miles Davis Quintet, a trait Coltrane no doubt honed during his tenure in that band. Each track of this album is a joy to revisit. ...
