Artist: Tony Bennett - (Audio CD) - 2006 ... more
There are several top-selling singers who mine the Great American Songbook without having an innate understanding of its musical context. The results can consequently amount to contrived posturing as much as singing. Tony Bennett is not one of... read full review | report as inappropriate
As a confirmed Tony Bennett fan one cannot help but be pained and disappointed by the quality of many of the cuts on this latest album. Bennett and some of his collaborators have shamelessly promoted this album as something special and unique.... read full review | report as inappropriate
This is a CD very well worth owning. My only complaint is that it may be a bit overproduced. It's fun to hear all the other talent singing with Bennett--but I enjoy him best alone. read full review | report as inappropriate
Artist: Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley - (Audio CD) - 1997 ... more
On occasions, critics and the general populace agree. This disc contains some of the best jazz music ever recorded, and it is Miles Davis' most popular and enduring work. His sidemen, including John Coltrane, are brilliant, as is his own... read full review | report as inappropriate
After a smacking allocation of misty hornious spooky teeth like accords, the whole projects collapses in a devasted submarinistic garden of hollow and narrow blow outs. Instead of mystifiing and collapse oriented draw back it enters into the... read full review | report as inappropriate
While I enjoy this recording, I simply do not think that it ranks as one of the best jazz recordings. The musicians assembled are excellent, but the vibe is dampered and the solos seem uninspired. It seems as if the geniuses that were in the... read full review | report as inappropriate

Paul is great in this context. Bill is an awesome player and composer. This sounds sort'a like NY jazz Downtown scene, with the incredible drumming of Motian and spectacular guitar pyrotechnics by Monder, meets fresh jazz/prog compositions.... read full review | report as inappropriate
Bill McHenry gathers Ben Monder on guitar, Reid Anderson (from the Bad Plus) on bass, and Paul Motian on drums. The nine songs sound similar to songs on a Paul Motian CD - they are soft, inquisitive, and leave lots of room for improvisation. As... read full review | report as inappropriate
Artist: Joshua Redman Trio - (Audio CD) - 2007 ... more
This album is very reminiscent of Timeless Tales (for Changing Times) released by Joshua Redman in 1998. The first two tracks are very tasteful and original interpretations of "Surry with the Fringe on Top" and "East of the Sun." The rest of the... read full review | report as inappropriate
Off the Mark & what I mean is wrong material. Doesnt show what his talents are. Id get George Benson, Bob James Nathan east, David Beniot, Peter white, Mark antione on your next cd & this would make a awesome Cd. read full review | report as inappropriate
Artist: Michael Brecker - (Audio CD) - 2007 ... more
Five WONDERFUL Stars!! These brilliant, complex, touching performances are jazz tenor saxophone titan Michael Brecker's final recorded testaments in a brilliant multiple Grammy-winning career. Sadly, the 57 year old succumbed to a form of leukemia... read full review | report as inappropriate
I personally wasn't a fan of Michael Brecker's music. Some things he's done were okay, but I guess I just never liked his approach to saxophone tone. I think the true masters of saxophone tone are Joe Lovano, Paul Desmond, Ben Webster, Ike Quebec,... read full review | report as inappropriate
Knowing tha Michael Brecker was terminally ill when he entered the studio to make this CD, makes reviewing his music difficult. All the cuts are original compositions. Because I like to at least begin with a tuneful melody before prolonged... read full review | report as inappropriate
Artist: Preservation Hall Jazz Band - (Audio CD) - 2007 ... more
Preservation Hall in New Orleans - home of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band - miraculously survived Hurricane Katrina in 2005 but many of the musicians were displaced. I've highly recommended the beautifully recorded CDs - with their handcrafted... read full review | report as inappropriate
I bought this as a Christmas gift for a very dear friend of mine. I was quite disappointed to hear that while the 1 CD and 1 DVD were good, that was all you got except a few trinkets for the money. FOr $70 I would have expected a couple or three... read full review | report as inappropriate
Artist: Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane - (Audio CD) - 2005 ... more
I'm listening to it right now, and it seriously is all that and then some. Easily the best Crepuscule With Nellie in my collection. Ditto for Epistrophy and Monk's Mood, both of which include piano fills that made me chuckle out loud. The sound... read full review | report as inappropriate
Neither the Amazon review or any of the customer reviews recently submitted mention this fact. I have few classical and pop recordings in mono that do not impact the listening experience such as 'Songs for Swinging Lovers' - Frank Sinatra or... read full review | report as inappropriate
I'm not a jazz officionado. My tastes in music are very eclectic. As jazz goes, I would say Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue" is a 5 star. I don't care how long this was lost, the music is just not compelling. Buying this CD without hearing it first is... read full review | report as inappropriate
Artist: John Coltrane - (Audio CD) - 2003 ... more
In a time when jazz was becoming less popular, this four-part masterpiece recorded in 1964, is John Coltrane's attempt to give thanks to God. In doing so, and regardless of your religious beliefs, he delivers a performance in the company of McCoy... read full review | report as inappropriate
I bought this CD. I listened to this CD. And then I listened again, and again...ad nauseum. I get jazz. I love jazz. I "get" spiritual jazz. This music is a load of crap. It is boring, goes nowhere, and I fail to see why, when so much... read full review | report as inappropriate
Like the 2005 releases Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane at Carnegie Hall and Town Hall, New York City, June 22, 1945 (Dizzy Gillespie/Charlie Parker), Cornell 1964 is a newly-discovered concert recording. And as with those 2005 releases,... read full review | report as inappropriate
Artist: Various Artists - (Audio CD) - 2004 ... more
