Track 01: Adventure Swing |
| HANK JONES / THE TRIO (480) |
|
Long regarded as one of the jazz world's most unsung heroes, Hank Jones's tasty fireworks and subtle improvisation finally started getting the recognition they deserved in the mid-Fifties.

Track 01: Mad About The Boy |
| HANK JONES / PIANO SOLO (483) |
|
Savoy jazz director, Ozzie Cadena, chose to present Hank Jones as a solo performer, an inspired choice, since Jones is a complete jazz pianist in that he can be his own rhythm section if he has to. Underneath the flowing gentleness of his lines is a firm, two-handed beat that (read more...)

Track 01: Inside Out |
| CECIL TAYLOR / JAZZ ADVANCE (485) |

| SUN RA / NEW HORIZONS (495) |
|
Chicago pianist Sun Ra emerged as a leader on the jazz scene early in 1956, when he assembled a group of neo-boppers that contributed to the original and exciting jazz sound offered by his new Sun Ra Arkestra, a medium-sized group that swung like a giant locomotive, an effect primarily (read more...)

| HAZEL SCOTT / ROUND MIDNIGHT (497) |
|
Though Hazel Scott (1920-1981) earned a great deal of her fame for swinging the classics from a red hot keyboard, her talents extended far beyond the realm of crass showmanship and she reached the other extreme, that of warm, delicate and intimate jazz playing. This album presents this lesser (read more...)

TELARC
| HIROMI UEHARA / TIME CONTROL (83655) |
|
Hiromi Uehara's version of jazz is unique without being willfully strange -- clearly deeply rooted in the straight-ahead jazz verities, she nevertheless writes with a distinctly postmodern sensibility, gleefully juxtaposing wildly disparate musical elements and infusing everything with a joyful energy. In fact, joyful energy is probably the most significant hallmark (read more...)
