Outside of the Mintons sides on Prestige, this may be one of their best studio albums. Great post!!
 
Don't really care for America jazz much at all. Too much saxophone and trumpet (and other horns), instruments which to my ear are grating and unmelodic (except in Jan Garbarek's hands).

Piano jazz...just too unstructured, and the bass is boring.

I do like some ECM chamber music (which isn't like American jazz at all).

Softly As A Summer Breeze -- Remastered CD

The Incredible Jimmy Smith with Kenny Burrell & Philly Joe Jones

1960/2006 Blue Note Recordss

It's smooth and powerful with great ballad interpretation, January 23, 2000
By macfawlty "macfawlty" (potomac, MD USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Softly As a Summer Breeze (Audio CD)

I have the LP and will have to get the CD as well since there are 4 more songs on it. Don't shy away from these ballad albums, they are great and really show alot of depth and incredible mastery of the B3. I still have a ways to go to complement my 40 or so Jimmy LP's with the convenience of CD's.

"These Foolish Things" (Harry Link, Holt Marvell, Jack Strachey) - 5:27
"Hackensack" (Thelonious Monk) - 5:58
"It Could Happen to You" (Johnny Burke, Jimmy Van Heusen) - 6:16
"Sometimes I'm Happy" (Irving Caesar, Vincent Youmans) - 8:21
"Someone to Watch Over Me" (George Gershwin, Ira Gershwin) - 6:30
"One for Philly Joe" [aka "Home Cookin'"] (Jimmy Smith) - 4:46
"Willow Weep for Me" (Ann Ronell) - 3:24 Bonus track on CD reissue
"Ain't No Use" (Leroy Kirkland, Sidney Wyche) - 2:40 Bonus track on CD reissue
"Angel Eyes" (Earl Brent, Matt Dennis) - 3:25 Bonus track on CD reissue
"Ain't That Love" (Ray Charles) - 2:45 Bonus track on CD reissue

-----

Recorded at Rudy Van Gelder Studio in Hackensack, New Jersey on February 26, 1958 (tracks 1-6) and October 14, 1958 (tracks 7-10)

On Stage -- Live -- CD

Tal Farlow - Hank Jones - Red Norvo - Ray Brown - Jake Hanna

1981/1999 Concord Jazz

This is a must have recording for Farlow and Norvo fans! March 2, 2003
By S. Baird
Format:Audio CD

Tal Farlow, Red Norvo, Ray Brown, Hank Jones and Jake Hanna recorded live at the Concord Pavillion in August 1976. A real toe-tapper from start to finish. What more needs to be said?

Simply put, this is one of Concord Jazz's best releases from both a music and sound quality point of view. But just when you think Farlow is going to steal the show with his wonderful guitar solos, Hank, Ray and Red get in the act too. Get this one before it disappears, or, better yet, contact Concord Records and lobby them to reissue this one in their new series of 30th anniversary releases on SACD. THEN you'd really know how great this one sounds!
Track Listing
1. One I Love Belongs to Somebody Else, The
2. A Time For Love / My Romance
3. Lullaby of Birdland
4. My Shining Hour
5. Very Thought of You, The
6. Rose Room / In A Mellow Tone

Personnel: Tal Farlow (guitar); Red Norvo (vibraphone); Hank Jones (piano); Ray Brown (bass); Jake Hanna (drums).
