This CD reissue combines together tenor saxophonist Arnett Cobb's two LPs, Sizzlin' and Ballads by Cobb. The former session has a good mixture of stomps and ballads with highlights including "Black Velvet," "Georgia on My Mind," and "The Way You Look Tonight." The latter date (originally cut for the Moodsville label) is all slow ballads and, despite the warmth in Cobb's tone, a certain sameness pervades the performances. Pianist Red Garland and drummer J.C. Heard are on both sessions with either George Tucker or George Duvivier on bass. Good music but not quite essential.~ Scott Yanow https://www.allmusic.com/album/blue-and-sentimental-mw0000096767

Personnel:  Arnett Cobb (ts), Red Garland (p), George Tucker, George Duvivier (b), J.C. Heard (d)

Hank Jones is one of the most gifted jazz pianists of the second half of the 20th century, and this salute to Duke Ellington is only slightly blemished by the sometimes overbearing string arrangements by Masahiko Satoh. His trio, with bassist Eddie Gomez and drummer Jimmy Cobb, sticks to familiar selections from the vast Ellington songbook, with Jones occasionally switching to a Fender Rhodes electric piano or celeste. Happily the strings are omitted from cookers such as "C Jam Blues" and "Take the 'A' Train." Worth searching for.~ Ken Dryden https://www.allmusic.com/album/ny-sophisticate-a-tribute-to-duke-ellington-mw0000191921

Personnel:  Bass – Eddie Gomez;  Drums – Jimmy Cobb;  Piano – Hank Jones

Phineas Newborn - Back Home

(3:49)  1. Sugar Ray  (Newborn)
(6:08)  2. Ill Wind

(4:54)  7. Pamela  (Newborn)
(5:28)  8. Love For Sale

On one of Phineas Newborn's final recordings (although he would live until 1989), the brilliant but i'll pianist is reunited with the rhythm team that he had recorded with in 1969: bassist Ray Brown and drummer Elvin Jones. Actually, despite his health problems, Newborn was always superlative on records, and his playing on five straight-ahead standards (including "No Moon at All" and "Love for Sale") and three of his originals is excellent.~ Scott Yanow https://www.allmusic.com/album/back-home-mw0000674737

Personnel:  Phineas Newborn Jr. – piano;  Ray Brown – bass;  Elvin Jones – drums

Marty Elkins was born in Jersey City, New Jersey.  As a child she listened mostly to the soul stations in New York, and the late night R&B shows like Jocko’s Rocket Ship.  She left there for college in Boston, and while in college was given a copy of Ella Fitzgerald and Ellis Larkins.  She was also exposed to Charlie Parker, Al Cohn and Zoot Sims, and Louis Jordan, but the life changing day was when she found a copy of Billie Holiday’s “Lady in Satin” in a local Woolworth bin in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Literally holing up in her room with this recording, and a Bessie Smith record she acquired, she became devoted to jazz and began listening to it exclusively.  She had the good fortune to meet musicians in that area who played jazz such as Herb Pomeroy, Ray Santisi, Jimmy Mosher, and Dave McKenna among others.  Dave McKenna had a steady gig at the Copley Plaza, and he encouraged her to sing with him there.  She landed a gig singing with a vocal trio in Bo Winiker’s band, floating around the Boston harbor singing Andrew Sisters songs. Marty keeps you believing... Her voice has a glowing roundness, she hit notes without strain and she swings...~ Zan Stewart, Downbeat Magazine ...More http://www.martyelkins.com/bio/
