Bitches Brew»rank: 1559by: Miles Davis
: essential recording:The revolution was recorded: in 1969 Bitches Brew sent a shiver through a country already quaking. lt was a recording whose very sound, production methods, album-cover art, and two-LP length all signaled that jazz could never be the same. 0ver three days anger, confusion, and exhilaration had reigned in the studio, and the sonic themes, scraps, grooves, and sheer will and emotion that resulted were percolated and edited into an astonishingly organic work. This Miles Davis wasn't merely presenting ... |

Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane at Carnegie Hall»rank: 948by: Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane
: :Australian pressing. This never-before heard jazz classic documents one of the most historically important working bands in all of Jazz history, a band that was both short-lived and, until now, thought to be frustratingly under-recorded. The concert, which took place at the famed New York hall on November 29, 1957, was preserved on newly-discovered tapes made by Voice of America for a later radio broadcast that were located at the Library of Congress in Washington DC earlier this year. Blue ... |

Everything You Want for Christmas»rank: 1450by: Big Bad Voodoo Daddy
: :Lay in a good round of cosmopolitans, ditch the rug and get ready to turn 2004 into 1944 with these retro swing kings. ln an album where horns are king, the Big Bad Voodoo Daddy Christmas disc will please fans and remind the elders that the big band sound has not left the building. While singer Scotty Morris is a bit too mannered at times, he does an adequate job of covering the Yule's coolest, including 'Blue Christmas,' 'Merry Christmas Baby' ... |

Not for Kids Only»rank: 3660by: Jerry Garcia, David Grisman
: :An aptly named album if ever there was one, Not for Kids 0nly combines the talents of two legendary performers, the late Jerry Garcia, singer-guitarist of the Grateful Dead, and David Grisman, mandolinist and father of 'dawg music,' a melding of bluegrass, jazz, swing, Latin, and Jewish klezmer sounds. 0n this 1993 recording, the two devoted friends make seemingly effortless music, adapting traditional and old-time folk into a personalized sound so 'homemade' (with jew's-harp and tambourine) as to inspire any child, ... |

Night Train»rank: 2088by: Oscar Peterson Trio
: essential recording:This 1962 recording represents 0scar Peterson at his most commercially accommodating, yet his trio with Ray Brown and Ed Thigpen never fails to swing. The program includes such familiar melodies as the title track (which began life as Duke Ellington's 'Happy Go Lucky Local'), 'Georgia on My Mind,' and 'The Honeydripper.' With the notable exception of the gospel-like original 'Hymn to Freedom,' most of the tracks clock in at around three minutes. This reissue contains several alternate takes that ... |

All for You: A Dedication to the Nat King Cole Trio»rank: 1230by: Diana Krall
: essential recording:All for You is a tribute to the Nat 'King' Cole Trio of the 1940s, when Cole performed as both a singer and a pianist. Krall, like her heroes Lena Horne and Carmen McRae, is also a singer-pianist, and she plays both roles on most of the songs here. She's able to link her singing to her piano playing in sympathetic ways and projects tremendous feeling through both. Like Cole in the '40s, Krall plays with a drummerless trio--here ... |

Legends: Live at Montreux 1997 [Blu-ray]»rank: 10838starring: Various Artists
:Description:Legends is one of the most musically accomplished super groups of all time. With Eric Clapton on guitar, Joe Sample of The Crusaders on keyboards, virtuoso saxophone player David Sanborn and super session players Steve Gadd on drums and Marcus Miller on bass, both of whom have done time in Clapton's band, the group's pedigree is extraordinary. Marcus Miller put the Legends band together for a European tour in 1997. They never made an album and this concert at Montreux is ... |

Best Of Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong»rank: 8867by: Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong
: essential recording:Ella Fitzgerald's voice was satin to Louis Armstrong's sandpaper, but when you put them together on a single song, their chemistry was unimpeachable. This disc selects highlights from the three albums they made together at Verve (including their Porgy and Bess), and adds a spiffy live track from the Hollywood Bowl. Though they don't harmonize much (Armstrong's voice wasn't built for harmony), Ella's dignified swing and flashes of teasing wit play off Satchmo's gritty, good-humored roar symbiotically. The material ... |
