'Volume 2' is just as good as its predecessor- taking in seminal cuts & alternate takes- and providing us with an insight into the genius of Thelonious Monk...Both volumes, attractively priced & remastered, should be owned. After several listens these tracks will seep into your being & you could not imagine living without them...And the repetition of tracks does work- giving you a handle on the complexities of these songs- 'Four in One' (tracks 1 & 2) are the same song with subtle,cataclysmic differences...The often compiled 'Straight no Chaser' & my personal fave 'Let's Cool One' are standouts...This is the perfect album to chill to, fantastic Sunday morning music next to 'Kind of Blue', 'In a Silent Way', 'Laughing Stock', ...

Used Price: £3.00

Recorded in 1957, when the vocabulary of be-bop has become a normal part (probably) of majority of the jazz musicians active at the time, "Serenade to a Bus Seat" gives a remarkable and very creative workout within the style, making it somewhat more flexible than the founding fathers would have made it... Terry has a deep-rooted swing experience and he seems to use it in his approach to tone and sometimas phrasing, while the brilliant group assembled for this date mostly consists of players interested in stretching the boundaries of bop further (which, to many people's surprise, included inspiration from the past jazz styles in cases of hard bop and free-jazz)...

So - this is a be-bop record, a great be-bop record but not completely ... Read More:

Music : George Shearing
Memories are made of this, the sixties and parties, smoked filled rooms and intelligent conversation, all these are invoked with Shearing Satin and Burnished Brass two great albums in one compact disc. Recording quality is flawless and I mean flawless, production impeccable and arrangements to just reach out and grab you. All this and more is on offer with these albums I cannot tell you how great these are. Go out and buy yourself these, treat yourself to just pure magic and experience the great sound of Shearing. Five stars and a 9/10 score let down by the sleeve notes.

78.Nobody Else But Me by: Stan Getz
November 01, 1994
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

>>More Details
Music : Nobody Else But Me
Made during the Bossa Nova years with Getz's quartet of the time - a very
young Gary burton on vibes, plus Gene Cherico (bass) and Joe Hunt (drums), this was the only studio recording of this group, but sat on the shelves in favour of the Bossa recordings of the time. Released after Getz's death, this album is a real find, with stunning performances of "Summertime", "Here's That Rainy Day" plus a couple of Burton originals. The ballads are amongst some of the best Getz ever recorded, particularly "Little Girl Blue". A wonderful album - can't recommend it enough!

I struggle to name an Oscar Peterson album that is better than this one. With NHOP on bass and Joe Pass on Guitar this is the most technically accomplished trio of Oscar Petersons career.

As an example of how to play the blues you can do no better than listen to Chicago blues. This is stunning playing. The tempo is not particulary fast but Peterson burns up the keyboard, and it is more than just a lot of notes. There are some wonderful rhythmic nuances which keep what is a long piece (13:42) interesting. You could equate these nuances to gear changes.

Interestingly you can get a sheet music transcription of Petersons first solo from Chicago blues. Its published in the marvellous volume of sheet music "Oscar Peterson Note ... Read More:
