| | Los Angeles Jazz Ensemble Expectation CD Los Angeles Jazz Ensemble Discography of CDs
A few of Los Angeles' top jazz musicians plus guest singer Janis Siegel (who is on one-third of the selections) perform a variety of jazz standards plus bassist Darek Oles' "Expectation." Although the music looks forward, much of it is relaxed and thoughtful. The all-star rhythm section, which consists of organist Alan Pasqua, guitarist Larry Koonse, bassist Oles (who contributed the arrangements), and drummer Peter Erskine, is quite solid; Bob Sheppard contributes some heated tenor; and Siegel is always a strong asset. This package also includes a four-song 31-minute DVD that allows one to see as well as listen to "I Didn't Know What Time It Was," "Blue in Green," "This Is New," and Tadd Dameron's "Whatever Possessed Me" as well as hear the musicians talk about the background of this project and their longtime friendships. Recommended. ~ Scott Yanow
Recorded in L.A. in 2007, this album features Darek 'Oles' Oleszkiewicz, Janis Spiegel, Bob Sheppard, Alan Pasqua, Larry Koonse, and Peter Erskine. The DVD features the recording sessions for the album. Los Angeles Jazz Ensemble Expectation Songs Expectation Review

| | Phil Woods American Songbook CD (2006)
Expectation songs
$14.35 
Phil Woods, the great American saxophonist, has been featured in more diverse settings than almost anyone in the history of the music. His constant challenging of himself as a player, bandleader, and composer has been admirable since his debut set as a leader. While standards sets these days are not only a dime a dozen but mostly cop-outs from established artists and newcomers who either lost or never had the chops to execute them with any aesthetic imprint, let alone the one they deserve, septuagenarian Woods breathes life into ten of these tunes, and reinvents them both as harmonic structures and as tools for swing. With trumpeter Brian Lynch, pianist Bill Charlap (a fine leader in his own right), bassist Steve Gilmore, and Billy Goodwin on drums, Woods takes on "Foggy Day" as if it were a new tune. The same goes for the age-old jazz ballad of choice "All the Things You Are," on which Charlap sets the course for a wondrous take with the ensemble playing together as if they co-wrote the tune. Lynch's muted trumpet is a natural choice, but Charlap's extrapolation on the chord voicings and Woods playing the middle-low register of his horn and easing out with a sense of phrasing akin to Paul Desmond's. The front-line interplay on "I've Got You Under My Skin," is simply gorgeous, especially when Woods takes his second solo break ...
