The little girl with the big voice is back for a selection of popular Christmas songs and carols, ranging from the medieval “Coventry Carol” to the brand new title track, whose chorus will be recognized by classical music fans as the “Pavan” of Gabriel Faure. In between are pop standards like “Winter Wonderland” and Mel Torme’s “Christmas Song” as well as some less familiar fare such as the delicate calypso “Mary’s Boy Child” and the Welsh “Draw Tua Bethlehem”.

Although Rosemary Clooney had a major part in the famous film White Christmas back in 1954, this was her first full Christmas album and it was a big seller when it was released late in 1996. From the jazz standpoint, there is not much here, as Clooney is accompanied by a huge orchestra conducted and mostly arranged by Peter Matz.

Stan Getz’s 1982 band featured the harmonically advanced pianist Jim McNeely, bassist Marc Johnson and drummer Victor Lewis; Billy Hart fills in for Lewis on three numbers. This date sticks (with one exception) to high-quality jazz standards, some of which (“Sippin at Bell’s”) are not performed all that often. Getz is particularly swinging on “Tempus Fugit” and quite lyrical on Billy Strayhorn’s “Blood Count.” Continue reading “The Stan Getz Quartet – Pure Getz (1982) {2003, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip}”

Grover Washington, Jr.’s fatal 1999 heart attack cut a successful 30-year recording career tragically short. Washington’s legacy was his ability to combine jazz and pop by tracing their common roots in R&B and soul music. He found fans among the younger wave of jazz listeners, who were attracted to the sounds of what became known as “smooth jazz.” Continue reading “Grover Washington, Jr. – Prime Cuts – The Columbia Years 1987-1999 (1999) [2001, Japan Reissue, Hi-Res SACD Rip]”
