With a restrained yet potent funk band and a few cameos from luminaries in the jazz world, Al Jarreau gets plenty of opportunities to wrap his rubbery, ever-changing timbre around an agreeable collection of tunes, the majority of which he wrote or co-wrote.

Ray Charles + The Count Basie Orchestra – Ray Sings Basie Swings (2007) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Ray Charles + The Count Basie Orchestra - Ray Sings Basie Swings (2007) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Ray Sings, Basie Swings, huh? Hmm, well, yes and no. You see, the story goes something like this. In 2005, Concord Records exec John Burk, who produced Ray Charles’ superb late-career, Grammy-winning Genius Loves Company, found a reel of tape simply labeled “Ray/Basie.” Upon further analysis, it was determined that the 1973 recording featured Ray Charles backed by his own band — Count Basie and his band had actually recorded earlier that day.

Herb Alpert turned to jazz’s Shorty Rogers — then toiling in the L.A. film and TV studios — for voice and string arrangements on his Christmas album, and Rogers in turn went all out for schmaltz. Rogers’ cooing voices introduce several of the tunes, whereupon the Tijuana Brass do their mostly unrelated Ameriachi thing familiar from past albums. Indeed, “Las Mananitas” seems to have been lifted from an obscure B-side of a 45 and overdubbed with the Rogers treatment. Jingling bells is a recurring song theme — first with “Jingle Bells,” then the cloying “The Bell That Couldn’t Jingle,” and ultimately “Jingle Bell Rock.” Continue reading “Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass – Christmas Album (1968) {2015, Remaster, WEB, CD-Quality + Hi-Res}”

The Manhattan Transfer - The Christmas Album (1992) [2000, Reissue, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

For their set of Christmas related material, the Manhattan Transfer welcome such guests as trumpeter Jack Sheldon (on “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!”), Tony Bennett (“The Christmas Song”), trumpeter Harry “Sweets” Edison and tenor saxophonist Pete Christlieb. With arrangements provided for the backing orchestra by Johnny Mandel on a few numbers, highlights of this disc include “Snowfall,” a Santa medley and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.” A pleasing set of jazz-influenced Christmas music.

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]”

Diana Krall reunited with Tommy LiPuma, the producer who worked with her for the first decade-and-a-half of her career, for Turn Up The Quiet, a 2017 album that found the pianist returning to the Great American Songbook interpretations that made her name. LiPuma died just before the release of Turn Up the Quiet, prompting Krall to fashion a quasi-tribute to her collaborator from the album’s leftovers.
