Diana Krall paid tribute to her father on Glad Rag Doll, the 2012 album sourced from his collection of 78-rpm records, and, in a sense, its 2015 successor Wallflower is a companion record of sorts, finding the singer revisiting songs from her childhood. Like many kids of the 20th century, she grew up listening to the radio, which meant she was weaned on the soft rock superhits of the ’70s — Continue reading “Diana Krall – Wallflower (2015) [Deluxe Edition, Hi-Res SACD Rip]”

With their second album, Miles Smiles, the second Miles Davis Quintet really began to hit their stride, delving deeper into the more adventurous, exploratory side of their signature sound. This is clear as soon as “Orbits” comes crashing out the gate, but it’s not just the fast, manic material that has an edge — slower, quieter numbers are mercurial, not just in how they shift melodies and chords, but how the voicing and phrasing never settles into a comfortable groove.

Philadelphia’s Pieces of a Dream are a leading contemporary jazz and R&B outfit known for their breezy, warm, accessible sound. The first act to be signed to saxophonist Grover Washington, Jr.’s production company, the group solidified their sound and cross-genre fan base with albums like 1982’s We Are One, 1984’s Imagine This, and 1986’s Joyride, the latter of which hit number three on Billboard’s Traditional Jazz Continue reading “Pieces Of A Dream – No Assembly Required (2004) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]”

Back before he turned everyone’s idea of bass playing inside out, Jaco Pastorius spent five years on the bandstand with the Peter Graves Orchestra at Bachelors III, a swanky spot in his hometown of Ft. Lauderdale. Nearly three decades after the future star’s departure in 1975, and 16 years after his brutal murder, Graves got the guys back together, christened them in their former colleague’s name, and invited the most prominent bass guitarists of the early 21st century down to join them in a project dedicated to Pastorius’ legacy.

Jazz fusion bass freaks and fans of the late great Weather Report innovator first got the message that his richly textured compositions were ripe for spirited big-band arrangements on 2003’s critically acclaimed Word of Mouth, whose all-star band was led by Peter Graves (whose orchestra Pastorius launched his career with) and included sharp melodic and rhythmic contributions by bassmen who have proudly carried on the tradition — Victor Wooten, Gerald Veasley, Richard Bona, Victor Bailey, Marcus Miller, and Jimmy Haslip.
