Countless instrumentalists have paid tribute to John Coltrane, but rarely have jazz vocalists provided Coltrane tributes. Resolution: A Remembrance of John Coltrane is a rare example of a singer paying homage to the seminal saxophonist. Hard-swinging but melodic, Suzanne Pittson thinks like a post bop saxophonist her appreciation of saxmen like Trane, Wayne Shorter, and Michael Brecker comes through whether she's embracing lyrics or scatting. So she was a logical person to record this fairly ambitious project, which ranges from interpretations of the Coltrane classics "Resolution," "Liberia," and "Pursuance" (all of which the Bay Area singer and/or her husband, pianist Jeff Pittson, wrote lyrics for) to various standards that Coltrane recorded. "You Don't Know What Love Is" and "I Wish I Knew" recall Trane's versions from Ballads, while "My One and Only Love" fondly remembers his historic 1963 encounter with Johnny Hartman. But through it all, Pittson's own personality never becomes obscured. Resolution is one jazz vocal CD that can hardly be called generic.~ Alex Henderson https://www.allmusic.com/album/resolution-a-remembrance-of-john-coltrane-mw0000243387

From his many Criss Cross dates as a leader to his extraordinary sideman work with Chris Potter, the late Michael Brecker and many more, Adam Rogers continues to blaze a path as one of jazz's most compelling guitarists. His longtime associate David Binney, alto saxophone great and an influential composer and producer, has also distinguished himself with numerous innovative sessions for Criss Cross and others. On R & B, Rogers and Binney unite to co-lead a lean and hard-swinging quartet with bassist Reuben Rogers (no relation) and drummer Gerald Cleaver. In a departure from their usual focus on original material, Rogers and Binney aim straight for bebop, ballads and classics by Thelonious Monk, Freddie Hubbard and Wayne Shorter, among others. ~ Editorial Reviews  http://www.amazon.com/R-Adam-Rogers-David-Binney/dp/B00US68XZA

Personnel: David Binney (alto saxophone); Adam Rogers (guitar); Gerald Cleaver (drums), David Binney (Saxophone).

The Stockholm Swing All Stars formed in 2002. The idea was to form a band featuring the top jazz and swing players in Stockholm. The four horn players in the front line play an important role in the band. With cleverly written arrangements, mostly by Klas Lindquist and Fredrik Lindborg, the band can play softly like a small group and seconds later explode in a big band fortissimo. The rhythm section gives the band a bouncing ground for the solos and ensembles. The members of the Stockholm Swing All Stars are considered among the best in their field in Sweden. The band plays swing and jazz music suitable both for concerts and for dancing. They often play at lindy hop and other dance events as well as in concert halls. The Stockholm Swing All Stars have released five albums and one DVD. The most recent album, “In The Spirit of Duke Ellington”, was released in September 2018. They tour all over Scandinavia, and sell out the Stockholm Concert Hall and the Gothenburg Concert Hall regularly. https://www.stockholmswingallstars.com/about/

Personnel: Karl Olandersson – trumpet and vocals; Klas Lindquist – reeds; Fredrik Lindborg – reeds ; Dicken Hedrenius – trombone; Daniel Tilling – piano; Göran Lind – double Bass; Mattias Puttonen – drums
