The late vibraphonist Milt Jackson (1923-1999) is a towering figure
in jazz history, a vibrant and elegant player and bandleader who
pioneered the application of bebop to his instrument. DA CAPO is a
superb cross-section of Jackson's career from the late '40s through
the mid-1950s, including the formation of the popular Modern Jazz
Quartet, of which he was a charter member. In addition to MJQ
members John Lewis and Percy Heath, guitarist Barney Kessel,
innovative pianist Thelonious Monk, and Afro-Cuban jazz legend
Chano Pozo also appear.
AVID Jazz here presents four classic Benny Carter albums including
original LP liner notes on a finely re-mastered and low priced
double CD. 'Benny Carter, Jazz Giant', 'Swingin' The 20's', 'Sax
Ala Carter!' and 'Aspects' Giants don't come much bigger than Benny
Carter, except maybe for Ben Webster .and we've got them both
together for our first album on this fine CD set! A stunning line
up join our giants for these sessions recorded in 1957 & 1958.
Frank Rosolino on trombone, Andre Previn on piano (an underrated
jazz pianist!), Barney Kessel on guitar, Leroy Vinegar on bass and
Shelly Manne on drums. Old meets new for our next selection
'Swingin' The 20's', Benny is joined by legendary pianist Earl
Hines for their first recorded session together. These two seasoned
jazz men here show they are unafraid to take on the modern guys
here represented by Leroy Vinegar and Shelly Manne the set was
completely improvised ..the quartet just played! Another quartet
but, a different approach for 'Sax Ala Carter!' recorded in 1960 ..
standards in a relaxed style are the order of the day. Benny is
joined by Jimmy Knowles on piano, Leroy Vinegar on bass and Mel
Lewis on drums. All change again for these sessions from 1958 &
1959, Benny gathers together his first big band since the 1940's
for 'Aspects'. This time of course it would not be a touring band
but a recording band. The members were all handpicked from
Hollywood's finest musicians solely for the purpose of making the
record. Among the musicians were Shorty Sherock, Pete Condoli,
Tommy Pederson, Buddy Colette and Shelly Manne All four albums have
been digitally re-mastered for probably the finest ever sound
quality!
2006 release featuring Django's only recordings playing violin!!
His collaborators on this disc include some of the regular members
of his group like Stephane Grappelli, Louis Vola, Andr Ekyan, Bill
Coleman and Eddie South. Grappelli backs Django on many tracks,
playing his second instrument after the violin: the piano. The most
surprising moments of this collection occur on 'Vous et Moi' and
'Blues en Mineur', which were recorded in 1942. Here Django puts
the guitar down for a while and picks up the violin to play two
duets backed by a pianist! His solo on the blues displays what he
could do with Grappelli's instrument. These two sides are the only
existing examples of Django's violin playing.
The new JAZZ CLUB series is an attractive addition to the Verve
catalogue. With its modern design and popular choice of repertoire,
the JAZZ CLUB is not only opened for Jazz fans, but for everyone
that loves good music. This collection by the elegant Ella
Fitzgerald features 18 tracks including 'A-Tisket A-Tasket',
'Lullaby Of Birdland', 'The Lady Is A Tramp' and more. 2006.
