Review

Founded in 1947, Atlantic Records has been the home of some of jazz's more important figures (as well as blues). This compilation, originally issued as a two-fer LP, catches some of the excellent performances by the label's stable of jazz pianists over a period of 35 years. The earliest track is from Erroll Garner's first and only Atlantic album, Passport to Fame, a 1950 trio session where Garner applies his captivating style to The Way You Look Tonight.

The penultimate track on the album is from modernist Don Pullen. In between, there are cuts from albums made by some of the top jazz pianists, not only from that period, but whose work has stood the test of time and is still played regularly.
It also shows that owners/producers Ahmet and Nesuhi Ertegun and Herb Abramson were wise and sensible enough to find room for artists representing a wide diversity of styles, from Garner through Dave Brubeck to Pullen and Joe Zawinul.

Wide stylistic berth allowances notwithstanding, for most of these artists their stint with the label was short, a stopping off place before landing contracts with a major recording studio such as Columbia.
The title is also a bit misleading in the sense the label never had some of the participants under contract.

The cuts by Thelonious Monk and Bill Evans were from sessions headed by Art Blakey and Herbie Mann, respectively. But no matter how they got on the album, this collection of jazz piano is unmatched for its breadth and depth.

Review

As is standard for Verve collections, this sampler provides a timeless taste of some of the top jazz names from the post-bebop years. Featuring excellent sound, the disc includes the likes of Lester Young (Polka Dots and Moonbeams), Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong (I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm), Chet Baker (Summertime), and Billie Holiday (Stormy Weather).

The vocal-instrumental mix continues it exemplary pace with more gems from Kenny Burrell, Roland Kirk, Clifford Brown, Jimmy Smith, Oliver Nelson, and several others.
Topped off with fine contributions by an all-star crew of sidemen (Hank Jones, J.J. Johnson, Gil Evans, Dizzy Gillespie), Verve Jazz Masters 60 will provide the perfect soundtrack to your next party, whether played during that early cocktail stretch or in the hazy late hours.

Introspection · Review

The cover illustration on Atlantic Jazz: Introspection, so beautifully drawn in watercolour by Michael Paraskevas, whose artwork graces all the covers in this 12 CD series, is a sketch of Keith Jarrett at his piano. When it comes to representing the introspective style of jazz music, Jarrett is often the first name that springs to mind. He has built his career on getting to the heart of a musical piece, whether it is through improvisation at his solo concerts, or by examining standards with his trio.

So it is fitting that he is the showcase artist on Atlantic Jazz: Introspection, an album that samples the period between 1966 through 1972. He is featured in an early trio (Standing Outside, with Charlie Haden and Paul Motian), sitting in with Gary Burton’s quartet (the airy Fortune Smiles), and as a member of Charles Lloyd’s group that played a monumental set at the 1966 Monterey Jazz Festival. Forest Flower—Sunrise is the piece used on this compilation.

Gary Burton is also represented playing unaccompanied vibraphone on an Antonio Carlos Jobim song, Chega de Saudade (No More Blues).
Other artists included on the album are keyboard whizzes Joe Zawinul and Chick Corea, and flautist Hubert Laws, who performs a song called Yoruba. The former two would later bring the introspective approach into the world of fusion by forming their respective groups, Weather Report and Return to Forever. But here they are in the early stages of developing their signature sound. Zawinul’s track, played alongside Herbie Hancock on electric piano, is the lovely In a Silent Way, which provided the launching point to Miles Davis' 1969 album of the same name.
Corea’s offering is his chestnut, Tones for Joan’s Bones.

Joe Zawinul · In A Silent Way

The group of songs on Atlantic Jazz: Introspection is among the strongest I have heard in this collection. The pieces are beautiful examples of quiet (but not lite!) jazz played mostly on acoustic instruments.

My usual complaints with this collection—that there should be more artists included in a series this size and that it should reference the albums from where the songs originated—seem minor compared to the great music contained on this album. Out of the Atlantic Records vaults, this is about as perfect an introduction to the introspective side of jazz as one could wish for.

Here's what it is.
There are certain aspects of life that just are not meant to be defined by words. You know what it is when you encounter it, but it works on a level words can't touch.
The whole concept of cool is like that. In fact, cool is so cool that dictionaries often use the word itself to attempt to describe it. "Socially adept" doesn't quite cut it. A lot of people describe themselves as cool, but those are people who don't have a clue as to what cool is. The people who are cool are, well, too cool to label themselves that way. When you're cool, other people already know it, so there's no need speak of it.

Miles Davis never said he was cool. His music said it all.
Cool and Collected is something of a sound bite in relation to how his music defined jazz in the latter half of the twentieth century. But what a sound bite it is!

Focusing mostly on the work he did in the mid- to late-'50s with various incarnations of the Miles Davis Quintet, this compilation showcases some of the tunes that made Miles Davis the epitome of cool. So What, arguably the tune that veered jazz away from bebop toward a more modal style, appropriately opens the album. In this 1959 version, Cannonball Adderly on alto sax and John Coltrane on tenor sax are also featured, as well as Bill Evans on piano, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Jimmy Cobb.

Much of Cool and Collected centers around the triumvirate of Davis, Coltrane, and Adderley. "Milestones," "Stella By Starlight," and "Fran-Dance" all showcase the three horn players bouncing scales off each other, and the interplay between them, nearly forty years later, still astounds. Between those four pieces alone, there's nearly 25 minutes of trumpet and sax swirling and dipping like the aural equivalents of birds at play.

But it's when Davis and Coltrane play together on the Thelonious Monk classic, "'Round Midnight," that may be the single most telling moment of what made Miles so freakin' cool. Here (and to a lesser extent, on "Bye Bye Blackbird"), we're reminded of an era when smoky, dimly lit bars were a sanctuary from the pressures of the middle class, and when mystery lay just beyond the next cocktail.

While the bulk of Cool and Collected focuses on his cool jazz work in the '50s, it does offer a few glimpses of where Davis would later head. A young Herbie Hancock is featured on "Seven Steps to Heaven" (1963), and the 1969 recording of "E.S.P." also features Wayne Shorter on sax and Ron Carter on bass. Particularly on the latter piece, we hear an inkling of the profound influence Davis had on the fusion movement, which would become the driving force of jazz in the 1970s.

No single album can encapsulate the work of a man whose career spanned nearly fifty years, especially in the case of someone like Miles Davis.
He defied every convention placed before his vision, and for over forty years, he constantly redefined jazz. What Cool and Collected does is show us in snapshots how he rose to that stature. While I would have liked to see more '70s work, what's included here is a valuable primer as to how it all began.
And how cool is that?

Miles Davis

Review
The Kansas City sound brought earthy yet lithe energy to both jazz and R&B: From the impulsive swing of Bennie Moten and Count Basie to Big Joe Turner's genre-straddling work, K.C.'s impact on music can be heard in rock, soul, and even funk. As part of its mammoth jazz box set, Atlantic spotlights such key K.C. figures as Jay McShann, alto saxophonist Buster Smith, and Turner himself. As a sort of potent aside, the disc also features some fine combo swing commandeered by Basie alum Vic Dickenson and Buck Clayton. And while the inclusion of T-Bone Walker is something of a mystery (a Texas native who worked out of L.A. for a good stretch), the inclusion of his cut of the classic "Evenin'" fits right into the flow here. Get out the whiskey and clear the dancefloor.

Jay McShann

Review Extract
Pianist and vocalist Jay McShann, with whom Charlie Parker got his start, is the featured artist on three tracks recorded in 1977, a little late to get that authentic Kansas City taste. To hammer the point home, on one of the tracks McShann plays the electric piano. I can’t fault his choice of musicians, though, which include Buddy Tate and Paul Quinichette on tenor sax, Milt Hinton on bass, and a
young John Scofield on electric guitar, as they play on McShann's "Hootie Blues" and "Confessin' the Blues" and on Basie's rug-cutter, "Jumpin' at the Woodside."

Blue Note 70th Anniversary

From the jump in 1939 jazz aficionados Alfred Lion and Frank Wolff, emigres from Berlin, followed their instincts by recording great artists playing pure jazz. The 50s and 60s were, and still are, considered the classic Blue Note period in relation to not only what they recorded but the engineering of Rudy Van Gelder, the photography of Frank Wolff, and, eventually, the art direction of Reid Miles.

The so-called hard bop of the mid- 50s in New York essentially began with a Blue Note album, Horace Silver and the Jazz Messengers. What hard bop did was to draw on rural blues and gospel music in finding a whole new audience for jazz.

The idea for a group to carry forth the tribute during Blue Note's 70th year originated with booking agent Jack Randall, and was formed by musical director Bill Charlap, Randall, and Danny Melnick. When plans for the extensive tour reached more than 50 American cities, the idea of a recording was inevitable.

The Blue Note 7 was not conceived as an all-star group but it is stellar in stature. It is more than a tribute band, a cadre with a cohesive compatibility, dealing with powerful music and reinterpreting it through their new arrangements and individual solos.

Review

“From the bottom of my heart,” sings Pete Escovedo in a lovely arrangement of “Feliz Navidad” as he and his family wish us a Merry Christmas. Other tracks send similar wishes our way from Poncho Sanchez and his hardy crew, Caribbean Jazz Project, Sheila E., and several ensembles led by Ed Calle. There are surprises on every level. Traditional holiday favorites are interpreted with wrappings quite apart from what we’ve received in years past.

Ed Calle and Arturo Sandoval remind us that “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” with a hip-swinging mambo mood that promises evenings filled with much more than sugarplum fairies and interrupted dreams. Tenor saxophone and trumpet bring it all alive on the living room dance floor with stars shining all night long. A son montuno piano chorus, a syncopated conga gait, conversational fours between friends, and an ever-present bass foundation serve to brighten the holidays.

Sheila E. sings “Santa Baby” with a fun-loving sense of humor. Dave Valentin and Dave Samuels share “Angels We Have Heard On High” with an ocean breeze and a deeper meaning that is felt all over the world. Calle takes a feature on “White Christmas” worthy of the song’s many decades spent settling down by the fireplace. “Silent Night” doesn’t translate as well, since the cha cha cha backdrop provided by Caribbean Jazz Project carries with it an overload of moving feet and tapping fingers.

“Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” and “Feliz Navidad” are more like it. The vocal authority of leaders Sanchez and Escovedo, respectively, pumps up the band and its audience. These veterans make you want to enjoy your holidays. Besides Sanchez’s thrilling conga barrage, he’s included perfectly suitable tenor saxophone and trumpet solos by Scott Martin and Sal Cracchiolo as well. Similarly, Escovedo adds Ray Obiedo’s solo guitar to the mix to round out the holiday schedule. Latin Jazz Christmas serves as a gift in many ways, and it’s meant to be enjoyed. As Sanchez is fond of saying, “Pa gozar.”

From the liner notes
New Orleans residents celebrate Christmas with customs that are both old and new, borrowed and invented. The faithful still attend Christmas Eve mass at St. Louis Cathedral in the Vieux Carre, or French Quarter. In olden days, this would be followed by a long, elaborate dinner known as reveillon, a meal that is still served in parts of France and Canada. Today, many of New Orleans' finest restaurants offer reveillon throughout December.

Twinkling electric lights and flickering holiday candles can be found everywhere in the city, recalling the French custom of fete des lumieres, when candles are placed in the windows of every house in a village. In downtown New Orleans, the block-long lobby of the Fairmont Hotel is dressed every year in a cloud-like canopy of angel hair and holiday lights, while in New Orleans' City Park, strings of more than two million lights decorate the limbs of the majestic old oak trees.

All along the bayous of the countryside outside New Orleans, bonfires known as feux de joie are lit on Christmas Eve-reminding residents of their European ancestors and providing Pere Noel with enough light to find every child's home.

The music of New Orleans at Christmas time also reflects this love for making holiday traditions new again. Well-known songs are sung with a different feeling, while newly composed songs fondly recall favorite holiday memories. The warmth of the holiday flavors, the unique character of the music; why, is the Christmas season so special to the people of New Orleans? Because it combines three basic elements-celebration, family gatherings, and generosity-all of which can be found in great abundance in New Orleans and throughout Louisiana.

Review
The Putumayo label reliably delivers incredibly cool music, usually with around-the-world flair, but sometimes the focus is home-grown excitement. In fact, just last season I reviewed Putumayo's excellent New Orleans Christmas on this site. A natural outgrowth of New Orleans Christmas, Putumayo's A Jazz & Blues Christmas serves up more sizzlin' seasonal standards.

Although the music ends far too quickly (after 33 minutes), it's top quality every bar of the trip. Surprisingly, I enjoyed this ride even more than last year's New Orleans Christmas adventure. The highlights here are just astoundingly high, and that makes this album mighty easy to embrace. B.B. King reigns over all he surveys with his raspy opener Christmas Celebration, and Ray Charles absolutely kills with his outstanding Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. These two tracks alone are easily worth the price of admission. Wow!

Fans of soulful blues and traditional jazz will applaud A Jazz & Blues Christmas; it's the genuine article. Next time, Putumayo, please extend the seasonal offerings for at least 10 minutes more!

Review
Alligator Records Genuine Houserockin' Christmas

A wonderful alternative to the same old Christmas classics

When you have had your fill of the local radio station fare, and when you grow tired of the Time Life classic collection, pull out the Genuine House-rockin' Christmas disc for an evening of blues-inspired holiday fun!

This is not the first collection you will want to pull out to get you in the Christmas mood as the jingle bells of tradition are replaced with the accordion and fiddle of a hopping Zydeco party, but it sure is a great change of pace during the holidays that gets better with repeated play.
While I still enjoy the classics that I grew up with (including Ray Conniff and Mitch Miller...), this is one of the discs I pull out when I want to take a break from the cocoa in front of the fire and want to put my dancing shoes on.

It is great for Christmas parties, and many friends have heard it and gone on to get it for themselves. So if you are wondering if it is your cup of tea, take a listen to the sample tracks here, and if you like what you hear don't hesitate to add it to your collection.

Review
In his liner notes to this Atlantic Records piano blues anthology, "Living Blues" magazine editor Jim O'Neal writes that "The Atlantic team knew what they liked; they also knew what sold." It's instructive, then, that six songs from the original vinyl release -- two each by Little Brother Montgomery and Ray Charles, one each by Professor Longhair and Joe Turner, remain off the CD reissue 11 years later. Musical archeology only sells so far.

This carelessness of sequencing (two songs each from Jimmy Yancey and Meade Lux Lewis would have made their cases) is part of why "Atlantic Blues Piano" is weakest among the label's four volume blues series despite some exceptional performances. You get some of blues' finest pianists and samples of native city styles (Chicago, Kansas City, New Orleans. But the artists are caught either pre-ascension (Charles on a 1953 audition tape of Lowell Fulsom's "Low Society," Amos Milburn quarterbacking Texas Johnny Brown's jumpin' "After Hours Blues" with a superb intro) or post-peak (Yancey, heard without "Mama," heard here two months before his death with a somber "Mournful Blues" and salute to fellow piano great Pinetop Perkins).

O'Neil acknowledges this in his liner notes. "Most of the pianists represented on this volume were already well-established recording artists by the time they went into the studio for Atlantic," he wrote."...their Atlantic sessions were in one way or another intended to recapture or restore past glory."

That said, enough excellent music remains on this collection to earn partial recommendation. The New Orleans piano style is well-represented by Longhair's signature song "Tiptina," while Longhair disciple Dr. John rocks on a too-funky "Junco Partner" from 1971's "Gumbo." Turner (with ace Kansas City pianist Pete Johnson) provides some classic early R&B with 1956's "Roll 'Em Pete" while Lewis (helped by a young John Scofield on guitar) gallops through "Fore Day Rider" and the ballad "My Chile."

"Atlantic Blues: Piano" is worthwhile for completists, but unfulfilling for casual listeners. Blues or R&B piano fans would do better reading the artist lineup, then finding a full album from that performer.

Review
Atlantic Jazz · Mainstream

Nowadays, when the term "mainstream jazz" is used in most circles, it is synonymous with bland, inoffensive, smooth jazz. Perhaps all too aware of that, critic Bob Blumenthal stumbles a bit in his liner notes to Atlantic Jazz: Mainstream by going to the dictionary to explain how this album was compiled. He had no need to do so, for “mainstream” shouldn’t be considered a dirty word.

Rather, these are recordings made by some of the more popular artists to pass through the Atlantic studio. If their music appeals to a wider audience, not only exposing more listeners to jazz but also allowing Atlantic to pay the bills, so be it. These mainstream artists are widely respected in the jazz community. It’s not like we’re talking Kenny G here.

The concept of mainstream incorporates several unique types of jazz, at least as it is presented on this album. Big band is represented on tracks from Duke Ellington ("Perdido") and Woody Herman ("Four Brothers"), as well as a European edition co-led by expatriate bop drummer Kenny Clarke and Belgian piano player Francy Boland ("Speedy Reeds"). At the other end of the spectrum, The Modern Jazz Quartet performs a more intimate chamber jazz.

Horn man Tony Fruscella, who played in the cool mode, opens the album with a stirring rendition of "I'll Be Seeing You." Art Farmer and Ira Sullivan, both of whom prefer the bop style, also treat the listener to stately ballads.

Coleman Hawkins takes us back to the days of swing while David "Fathead" Newman and his employer, one Ray Charles, go even further back by giving a dedicated reading to Fats Waller’s “Ain’t Misbehavin’.”

Despite its abundance of styles, Atlantic Jazz: Mainstream is well programmed. For example, Side 2 contains the three big band tracks, all upbeat numbers, separated by the Farmer and Sullivan ballads, “Embraceable You” and “Everything Happens to Me”, respectively.

There is also a sense of jazz history, or at least continuity, at play. On Coleman Hawkins’ piece, the self-penned "Stuffy," Milt Jackson and Connie Kay back him up. The very next cut is “Django,” a tribute to the Gypsy guitar legend Django Reinhardt. It is performed by the Modern Jazz Quartet, of which Jackson and Kay were members. Following that number comes Reinhardt's own “Daphne” as performed by his onetime partner, violinist Stephane Grappelli.

Although there is nothing particularly earth-shattering about these performances, all 10 of its tracks are refreshing to hear. Also, each track has a different lead artist, something that cannot be said of most of the other albums in this series. In that sense, Atlantic Jazz: Mainstream is an ideal sampler. Recommended: Yes.

Comentario
ACT: 10 Magic Years

Diez años de riesgo son, en el mundillo discográfico, buena excusa de celebración. Torres más altas han caído en menos tiempo por el riesgo asumido. Ser creativo en la propuesta discográfica suele desembocar en dos caminos: la muerte o la absorción por una multinacional (¿acaso sinónimo de lo primero?).

Tratar de resumir en los 70 minutos (la duración del disco) lo mejor de un sello como ACT es ardua tarea. Son muchos los sonidos que quedan para la curiosidad personal de investigación y, por lo contrario, se cuelan otros que quizá desentonan en contexto marcado por la especial belleza del jazz que bebe de la cultura tradicional.

La cultura tradicional caracteriza en muchos casos la diferencia sustancial del jazz del resto del mundo en comparación con el jazz norteamericano. Siglos de tradición musical (y por extensión, cultural) reflejados en una música de especial sentimiento. Sentimientos de cultura tradicional sueca (excepcional dúo Nils Landgren -trombón- y Esbjörn Svensson -piano-), vietnamita (Nguyên Lê - guitarra- Huong Thanh -voz-), flamenca (Cañizares, Pardo, Benavent, "El Portugués"... ¿necesitan presentación?) entre otras. Todas ellas caracterizan a este sello creado por Sigfried Loch quien, antes de crear ACT, conoció las miserias de la industria discográfica. Miserias de creatividad.

Este "diez años mágicos" hace justicia a uno de los lemas de la casa: "Un poco de magia en un mundo ruidoso". Filosofías que de alguna manera anexionan ACT con el también alemán ECM y su ya famoso "el mejor sonido después del silencio".

En resumen: un recopilatorio que sirve de escaparate de lo que ACT ofrece en una, en general, acertada selección. Descubrimiento de nombres a respetar y confirmación de los ya clásicos de lo no tan clásico.

Curiosidad a modo de Post Data: el sello se fundó en 1992 con un proyecto de jazz-flamenco llamada "Jazzpaña" con nombres del flamenco y jazz-flamenco español, la WDR alemana y artistas internacionales como Michael Brecker o Peter Erskine. Sello alemán. En fin... y aquí, muriéndonos del asco.
