50th Anniversary Kind of Blue
Miles Davis
Sony BMG, 2008
A great package. Agreed -- Some things are not perfect
Happily I got this set at a nice discount at a local retailer. Therefore the outer case is in perfect condition. For musical content and historical importance this box set can't be beat - and yes, the original album deserves the lavish treatment presented here IMO, ...

Kinsmen
Rudresh Mahanthappa
Pi Recordings, 2008
Mahathappan Masterpiece
Overview:
Kinsmen is a collaborative effort between Rudresh Mahanthappa and fellow Indian saxophonist Kadri Golpalnath. While Rudresh's style is that of a modern jazz sax player, Kadri's style is based in traditional Indian music. It is fascinating to hear them both ...

Ear Food
The Roy Hargrove Quintet;Roy Hargrove;Justin Robinson;Gerald Clayton;Danton Boller;Montez Coleman
Emarcy, 2008
A review from just an average jazz lover!
I love jazz, have listened to it for 40 years, go to a few concerts each year, and have a huge jazz collection. I really go by one thing when I am listening to jazz: "Do I enjoy the music?" Roy Hargrove's album, earfood, is a very enjoyable album. It is straight ...

Invisible Cinema
Aaron Parks
Blue Note Records, 2008
this is unusually enjoyable
One test of an album is, how many times do I want to listen to it? I listened to this one five times before I took a break. That's a lot for me. Usually I'm relieved to get through a new album so I can go back to something I really like. I switched to The Brian ...

Guitars (CD/DVD)
McCoy Tyner
MCCOY TYNER MUSIC, 2008
very interesting musical collaboration
The piano, bass and drum trio is excellent. True collaboration and listening to each other. The various gueast artists have varying degrees of sucess. Folks like Frisell and Scofeild are in their element and it shows. Others such as, Fleck and Ribot do their best ...

A Love Supreme
John Coltrane
Impulse Records, 2003
Mere Words Are Inadquate to Describe This Incredible Work of Art
I have the deluxe edition that includes the Antibes performance of A Love Supreme as well as that "lost" recording with Archie Shepp and Art Davis. I don't think this additional material is all that necessary unless you are a student of this man's music.
The ...

Emarcy / Pgd, 2008
Are You Kidding Me?
It's just magical what this man has done, can do and continues to do even into his 80's. I've listened to Sonny since my youth and have seen him on a number of occasions. He is on fire on these live recordings and lifts the roof on the Tenor Madness cut. This the ...

Esperanza
Esperanza Spalding
Heads Up, 2008
Esperanza
Wow - Letterman coined her the coolest guest ever on his show and I agree. Great find for those who love jazz with an infrequent nod to pop. All in all, latin jazz at its best and with the ability to appeal to many music lovers of other genre.

Birth of the Cool
Miles Davis
Blue Note Records, 2001
Cool Breeze
This is simply beautiful music;
fresh from the be-bop academy of Charlie Parker, Miles Davis has finally proven himself as an carismatic leader...
Having spent some time at Julliard and (according to his own autobiography), having studied some classics of the ...

Somethin' Else
Cannonball Adderley
Blue Note Records, 1999
Wow
Well, this is everything jazz should be, in this novice listener's opinion. Subdued in the right places, swinging in others, the supergroup Adderley put together for this album is simply astounding. Miles Davis and Adderley take center stage, but Hank Jones has some ...

Polygram Records, 1997
Fall in love with Getz/Gilberto
I bought the Getz/Gilberto cd and loved the collection. It is beautiful and romantic. I won't get tired playing this all over again. Getz' saxophone expertise adds a more romantic feel to the music. You would love to dance with the one you love.
