Various Artists – Come Together: An A Cappella Tribute To The Beatles (2001)

Various Artists - Come Together: An A Cappella Tribute To The Beatles (2001)

If you were thinking this was an album of barbershop quartets breezing through a set of Beatles standards, guess again. Using studio trickery to make voices approximate instruments, percussion, and other psychedelic sounds, the vocal groups here bring a wonderful and fresh approach to these great songs, expanding the rhythmic possibilities inherent in each melody, creating a stunning new alternate Beatles universe.

Louis Armstrong & Duke Ellington – The Complete Sessions (1999) [DVD + Hi-Res]

Louis Armstrong & Duke Ellington - The Complete Sessions (1999) [DVD + Hi-Res]

Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington were (and are) two of the main stems of jazz. Any way you look at it, just about everything that’s ever happened in this music leads directly — or indirectly — back to them. Both men were born on the cusp of the 19th and 20th centuries, and each became established as a leader during the middle ’20s.

Working with the same quartet that cut Heavy Soul — organist Freddie Roach, bassist Milt Hinton and drummer Al Harewood — Ike Quebec recorded another winning hard bop album with It Might As Well Be Spring. In many ways, the record is a companion piece to Heavy Soul. Continue reading “Ike Quebec – It Might As Well Be Spring (1962) [2010, Remastered, CD-Layer + Hi-Res SACD Rip]”

On this release Monty Alexander combines a six-piece Jamaican reggae rhythm section with a three-piece jazz rhythm team to perform songs by the well-known artist Bob Marley.

This set had me worried. Some of the group improvising is so sparse and meandering that it almost sounds as if the musicians are lost, or too shy to play much. However, just when one is ready to give up on this project as a lost effort, one of the musicians gets the momentum flowing and the others follow with their own comments.

Mark O’Connor’s second CD with his Hot Swing Trio is more than just a salute to the late, legendary jazz violinist Stephane Grappelli; it firmly establishes as him as a bona fide jazz violin virtuoso, thanks to being distributed by a major label this time around.

Monty Alexander has always been a fine jazz pianist, but in recent years he has received more popular acclaim for interpreting the reggae music of his native Jamaica. While his reggae efforts are well done, straight-ahead jazz and interpreting standards are really his forte. For The Good Life, Alexander has chosen to riff on tunes from the repertoire of Tony Bennett Continue reading “Monty Alexander – The Good Life: Monty Alexander Plays The Songs Of Tony Bennett (2008) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]”

Monty Alexander follows up his tribute to Tony Bennett with an homage to another classic jazz singer, Nat King Cole. Also recorded in New York City at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church with the same trio of Chicagoans Lorin Cohen on bass and drummer George Fludas, the veteran pianist seems more in his element with this artist’s repertoire that sharply defined his personal sound and thinking about populist jazz.
