Barb Jungr has a new album devoted to the songs of Bob Dylan, Man In The Long Black Coat , celebrating Dylan's 70th birthday. A sympathetic and innovative interpreter of Dylan's work - principally because her own voice and delivery is unique the CD includes four regular live tracks: Sara, Man In The Long Black Coat, It Aint Me Babe and With God On Our Side, which appear on a Jungr CD for the first time. Approaching the songs as if they were all her own, the likes of Just Like A Woman is given a reggae/funk crossover, while those of a softer disposition may be drawn to a collection of Dylan songs that don't actually sound like Dylan songs.~http://www.barbjungr.co.uk/reviews-Man-In-The-Long-Black-Coat.html

The Art Farmer Quintet - You Make Me Smile

Styles: Jazz, Mainstream Jazz
Year: 1985
File: MP3@320K/s
Time: 37:07
Size: 86,0 MB
Art: Front

(4:25)  1. You Make Me Smile
(7:08)  2. Prelude No. 1
(5:49)  3. Nostalgia
(7:55)  4. Flashback
(6:58)  5. Souvenir
(4:49)  6. Have You Met Miss Jones?

Among the most consistent of jazzmen, flugelhornist Art Farmer sounds in fine form on this quintet outing with tenor-saxophonist Clifford Jordan, pianist Fred Hersch, bassist Rufus Reid and drummer Akira Tana. 

The material, other than the standards "Nostalgia" and "Have You Met Miss Jones?" is more obscure than usual, with an adaptation of a Scriabin classical prelude and numbers by Rufus Reid, Farmer ("Flashback") and Benny Carter ("Souvenir"). Creative bop-based music with Farmer's usual subtlety clearly in evidence.~Scott Yanow http://www.allmusic.com/album/you-make-me-smile-mw0000191813

Personnel: Art Farmer (flugelhorn); Clifford Jordan (tenor saxophone); Fred Hersch (piano); Akira Tana (drums).

(6:08) 10. Birks Works

(3:40) 11. D-Cup And Up

Trombonist Fred Wesley, best-known for his long-term association with James Brown, has long expressed the desire to play jazz. This is mostly a jazz-oriented CD although he hedges his bets a little with "Honey Love" (which has a cute vocal by Wesley over a calypso groove), an R&B-ish Carmen Lundy vocal on "Love We Had Stays On My Mind," the ballad "Eyes So Beautiful" and the funky "D-Cup And Up." But on the other six numbers Wesley plays in a boppish style influenced most by J.J. Johnson and there is a suitable amount of solo space for altoist Maceo Parker (heard at his best when trying to emulate Hank Crawford), trumpeter Stanton Davis and a restrained but tasteful Geri Allen on piano. Highlights include "Rockin' In Rhythm," Thelonious Monk's "Bright Mississippi" and "Birks Works" on the mixed but generally enjoyable bag.~Scott Yanow http://www.allmusic.com/album/new-friends-mw0000314191
