Sherrod delivers a sequence of spine chilling gems that sit somewhere between smooth R & B and urban jazz. In fact Seasons includes contributions from several A list performers but rather than puzzling at just how Sherrod has managed to assemble so many great artists in the same place at the same time, it is adequate to luxuriate in the sublime artistry his musicality so effortlessly engenders. --Dennis Poole, Smooth Jazz Therapy and Smooth Jazz Vibes

"Rhythm & Uke" is the 4th ukulele release from Na Hoku Hanohano Award winning recording artist Abe Lagrimas, jr. The album takes the listener back to Abe's musical roots: the drums. The importance of rhythm in the song is captured well with just the stripped down instrumentation of drums (performed by Abe) and acoustic bass. Abe then adds his masterful ukulele artistry in melody and improvisation to complete the selections. Each "full band" selection is then followed by a solo ukulele piece, which offers listeners an insightful sense of peace.

12. My Melancholy Baby (Feat. Patrick O'leary) (2:46)

Manhattan Sunset, the sixth studio album from pianist Kayo Hiraki, highlights a seasoned player drawing upon her various influences and varied interests within jazz. From the opener, 59th Street Station B Line, an angular her composition reminiscent of Monk's medium-tempo bop, to Midday Sun Shower, with its funky &sweet, contemporary jazz stylings, the album ferries listeners through a pleasantly diverse array of genres within the jazz idiom. Tarte Aux Fraises and Runaway Thought (sound track from the film 'Birth Day'), both jazz waltzes, feature strong trio work, as bassist Patrick O'Leary and drummer Eric Halvorson lend stimulating support to Kayo's piano solos as they build steam. The latter song also highlights saxophonist Nick Hempton, who plays elegantly throughout the record. Manhattan Sunset features additional guests appearances from world-renowned guitarist Russell Malone, lending his striking talents to the hypnotic Komorebi (Sun-beams streaming through the leaves of trees), and Italian harmonica player Giuseppe Milici, who deftly handles the melancholy ballad, June in Paris and image of sidewalk cafe in Paris, Cafe Gitane. The album is mostly comprised of originals, but two standards (Saga of Harrison Crabfeathers and My Melancholy Baby) along with a traditional Japanese folk song, Kojyo no Tsuki, are standouts as well.

Three-time GRAMMY Award winner Darius Rucker is releasing his first Christmas album, Home For The Holidays, today, October 27. Produced by Frank Rogers, the 12-track album includes Rucker’s unique spin on holiday classics such as “Winter Wonderland,” “I’ll Be Home For Christmas,” and “Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow,” as well as two original songs, “Candy Cane Christmas” and “What God Wants For Christmas” that Rucker co-wrote. Among the album’s highlights is the seasonal favorite, “Baby, It’s Cold Outside,” featuring special guest Sheryl Crow.

“We wanted to make one of those records that a fan of R&B music would put it on and go, ‘That’s a good Christmas record!’ And a fan of Country music would put it on and go, ‘That’s a good Christmas record,’” says Rucker. “And a fan of pop music would put it on and go, ‘That’s a pretty cool Christmas record!’ I’m hoping it’s one of those records that people just love. I want fans to love it and play it for their kids. I’m hoping that there’s some kid who is two years old today, and when he’s 14 and they ask him what reminds him of Christmas, he says, ‘The Darius Rucker Christmas record.’ That would be awesome!”
In addition to recording his Christmas album, Rucker is finishing work on his fourth solo county album, to be released in early 2015. The album’s debut single “Homegrown Honey” is currently climbing the Country charts.

This is the Berlin based jazz and blues trio’s highly anticipated first studio album - the previous live album “Live at Oxident” was released in 2007 - yet the fans of the trio’s traditionally made acoustic music found it more than worth waiting for :

‘Am I’ was recorded live in only two days in the living room of a long-time fan who let the trio use his exquisite Bechstein piano.

Out of this intimate and private atmosphere emerged an album portraying the outstanding musical talent of pianist Chris Szachnowski (Poland) and of the extraordinary saxophone player Joe Kucera (Czech Republic).

One can feel the magic of the wee hours of the morning, how a glass of wine may have been put down while the wall clock gently ticked away the time in the background…

On ‚Am I’ the Reifegerste Trio not only interprets jazz and blues classics in their uniquely impressive manner as they show at their concerts; it also has some surprises in store:

Gentle hues of electronic sound pearls, recorded and mixed in Simone Reifegerste’s own Backyard Princess Studios.

A two-fer CD containing:
Tracks #1-12, from the 10" album "Four Horns and a Lush Life". Recorded in Holywood, November 14, 1955. Russel Garcia (cond,arr); Frank Rosolino, Herbie Harper, Maynard Ferguson, Tommy Pederson (tb); Dick Houlgate (bs); Marty Paich (p); Red Mitchell (b); Stan Levey (d).

Tracks #13-23, from the 10" album "Frances Faye-I'm Wild Again". Recorded in Holywood, November 14, 1955. Russel Garcia (cond,arr); Frank Rosolino, Herbie Harper, Maynard Ferguson, Tommy Pederson (tb); Al Hendrickson (g); Gerry Wiggins (p); Red Mitchell (b); Chico Hamilton (d); Frances Fayes (vcl).

"Russell Garcia's Four Trombone Band can easily be compared to some of Stan Kenton's brass experiments, and more directly Slide Hampton's World of Trombones ensembles. This single-CD compilation features instrumental tracks reinventing a variety of standards and many selections featuring vocalist Frances Faye, with either pianists Marty Paich or Gerry Wiggins, respectively, in the rhythm sections. Garcia directs these substantive musicians on his unique arrangements, where the music jumps up and grabs your ears with the ineffable cool and swing typical of mid-'50s West Coast jazz. Detroiter Frank Rosolino relocated to California during this time, as Tommy Pederson and Herbie Harper were establishing themselves as session men, while Maynard Ferguson is heard here, not on trumpet, but valve trombone -- and all the participants sound like they are having a really good time.

Garcia conducts this music, and puts the bandmembers through their paces, cleverly adding and subtracting measures during his original "I'll Never Forget What's Her Name," loading up staccato phrases for the 'bones during "Limehouse Blues," writing strong unison charts for the melodies of "Lover, Come Back to Me" and "Ramona," and offering a strict arrangement of Noël Coward's "Ziguener." Baritone saxophonist Dick Houlgate is the only other horn on these dates, and guitarist Al Hendrickson is the other front liner on the selections with Faye. The vocalist is straight-laced, stoic, effortless like peer Peggy Lee, and very solid. While fairly typical on well-known standards and a seamless seven-song medley, she steals the show from the trombones on the Mary and Norman Kaye-penned wordplay of the Latin-pop novelty tune "Toreador" and a calypso take of "I've Got You Under My Skin," and she revives the lost introductory lyrics of "Love for Sale." Chico Hamilton is greatly responsible for the tropical beats in his pre-boogaloo period, hopping up "Out of the World" as Faye glides along while his drum work is busily active.

This is one of three Fresh Sound reissues showcasing the underappreciated Russell Garcia, only recognizable to California audiences in the main, but now with an opportunity like peers Bill Holman and Onzy Matthews  to be known and revered on a larger scale some 60 years later." ~Michael G. Nastos

[10:09] 10. Funky Christmas

Altoist Maceo Parker has spent most of his career in R&B funk bands, most notably those led by James Brown, George Clinton, and Bootsy Collins. This CD gave him a chance to stretch out as a leader, and his soulful horn immediately brings to mind Hank Crawford and (to a lesser extent) Lou Donaldson. With a strong backup group that includes Pee Wee Ellis on tenor, trombonist Fred Wesley, and Don Pullen on organ, Parker enthusiastically plays over infectious grooves with just one funky departure ("In Time"). Roots Revisited is a throwback to the 1960s soul-jazz style and Maceo Parker gives one the impression that, if called upon, he could hold his own on a bebop date. ~Scott Yanow

Mostly known as a TV and film actress, Polly Bergen recorded several album of pop standards in the 1950s and '60s, as well as using her expressive voice onstage in musicals. This rare collection features recordings from the very beginning of her career, showcasing tunes from 1950 through 1956. The looks and poise of a 1950s Vogue model; the mentholated singing voice; the actress' approach to words all these helped launch Polly Bergen on a career that began in the late 40s and still thrives today. This CD includes almost every side she cut before 1957, when she burst into prominence with an Emmy-winning TV portrayal of the legendary torch singer Helen Morgan. Earlier on, Bergen had recorded a scattered pile of hillbilly tunes (the by-product of her birth in Tennessee), novelty kitsch, and a fine first album of torch songs, heard here in its entirety.

Polly Bergen (vocals); Joe Venuti (violin); Matty Matlock (clarinet); George Tibbles (piano). Additional personnel: Ramey Idriss (guitar); Paul Toenniges (bass instrument); The Mellowmen & Orchestra, The Joe Leahy Orchestra, Morty Stevens & His Orchestra, The Orchestra, George Tibbles, Joe Venuti, Matty Matlock. Audio Remasterer: Robin Cherry. Recording information: Los Angeles, CA (1950-1956); New York, NY (1950-1956).

This is one of the better later recordings by Barbara Carroll. A bop-based pianist and a cabaret singer, Carroll balanced her two very different skills quite well throughout the date. There are a few instrumentals along the way (including "The Way You Look Tonight" and "Lester Leaps In") which team her with Jerome Richardson (heard on tenor and alto) and Art Farmer (on the trumpet) along with drummer Joe Cocuzzo and either Jay Leonhart or Frank Tate on bass. The overall music is more jazz-oriented than some of Carroll's recordings and her soft-spoken vocals are generally a delight; however, it is her swinging piano that consistently takes honors. A fine all-around set that serves as a good introduction to the music of Barbara Carroll. ~ Scott Yanow  http://www.allmusic.com/album/this-heart-of-mine-mw0000120021

Jazz's modern mainstream has to preserve tradition while exploring unique approaches. It's got to grow. A lot of folks translate the concept of uniqueness into something "far out" and "hip" and "never before attempted." But stretching the boundaries of jazz to its limits has drawbacks. Some push too far and become alienated. Some water down the jazz with outside sources that prove discomforting. Many of today's innovators simply sell out. If they turn away from the core music that brought us here, then they've failed. Dan Cray preserves the straight-ahead tradition with his Chicago-based piano trio, yet he finds new ways to interpret it. Like a poet or a painter who searches constantly for new ways to express himself without losing his core focus, the pianist has succeeded in recreating Cole Porter, Thelonious Monk, Wayne Shorter, and Horace Silver with aplomb. They're the same old songs, but they're interpreted with a fresh, new outlook. 

The trio's version of "Just One of Those Things" makes a dramatic impact. Cray moves the familiar theme in suite-like fashion through different scenes that reflect changing moods. Together, the threesome forges ahead with widely different approaches for one theme. The pianist's dynamic strides give the piece new life. After establishing the tune of a standard piece, Cray likes to jazz it up. Isn't that what it's all about? He takes each piece on a whirlwind ride, alters its texture to the foundation, and reinterprets it with authority. Meters change, moods fly back and forth, and the scene varies. 

His fresh approach comes loaded with a fiery, percussive piano attack one moment and a suave, comforting layer of harmony the next. Cray's "Good Morning" and "Good Bye" evoke misty moonlit impressions with introspective leanings that evolve into a confident strut along with powerful reflections. "Trinkle Tinkle" comes loaded with a refreshing new texture as the trio drives it with raw power. "Night Dreamer" appears before us with an exotic façade that remains personal and up close. "Summer in Central Park" finds the trio floating along on its laissez-faire theme with added sparks entering the scene to fire this way and that. Cray builds each of his selections from the ground up, transforming them from the usual to the unique without ever losing sight of tradition. Highly recommended. ~ Jim Santella  http://www.allaboutjazz.com/save-us-dan-cray-blujazz-productions-review-by-jim-santella.php#.VE6qLclZi5g

Lucky Thompson (1924-2005) has probably been the most underrated tenorist of his generation. After an active period in both the New York and Los Angeles scenes during the Forties, his career began to suffer all kind of in and outs, and from 1949 up to 1954 Lucky’s name rarely appeared on jazz club marquees. Fortunately, since that year the ‘unlucky’ Lucky Thompson would temporarily find what he was looking for. Lucky described the sessions at hand as the first “I got the freedom and the men I desired.” Here he blows his heart out in one of the most sustained examples of creative, soulful improvisation ever recorded. It is a hard-swinging set powered by Lucky’s big tone and beautifully built ideas, featuring the strength and driving pulse of Oscar Pettiford’s bass.  http://www.freshsoundrecords.com/lucky_thompson_meets_oscar_pettiford-cd-4490.html
