Bennett & The Basie Band $23.49 $17.99
Bennett's First Holiday Album Since 1968!
"The excellence on display begins with the charts, which on the big-band sides come mostly from Bill Holman... Although Bennett's voice shows increasing signs of age here, his interpretive gifts are untouched and unimpeachable, especially when the material calls for sensitivity." -All Music Guide

Burt Bacharach Live $16.98 $12.48
"32 of his compositions from throughout his six-decade career... this is what the composer no doubt envisioned: a concert-length overview of his vast body of work, realized with full glorious accompaniment and in front of a live audience. If this is all we get from Bacharach, it's more than enough, the best sendoff we could have hoped for." -All Music Guide

Bill Stewart's Incandescence
"It's not just the instrumentation or the towering skills of each member that makes Incandescence glow, but it's also Stewart's oft-times idiosyncratic and refreshing compositions... What an enjoyable and different ride, Incandescence turns out to be." -AllAboutJazz.com

Verve Gets Getz, Live In 1959
"On the opening Chocolate Sunday... Getz follows Peterson's and Mulligan's animated solos by practically eschewing technique altogether in favor of pure emotional expression. It's an instance of the utmost restraint resulting in playing of unrestrained feeling... an honest cry from the heart - elemental yet penetrating lyric poetry." -AllAboutJazz.com

Ramsey Lewis Trio: Live At The Bohemian Caverns
Roy Ayers: Ubiquity Vibrations

Cleo Brown: Recordings From 1953
After building a reputation for herself as a powerhouse stride pianist throughout the 40s and early 50s, Cleo Brown retired from music to pursue a career as a nurse. She was so adored on the boogie scene that when Fats Waller died, his band wanted Cleo to fill his big shoes.

Oscar Peterson Plays Count Basie
"With guitarist Herb Ellis, bassist Ray Brown, and guest drummer Buddy Rich all playing quite sympathetically, Peterson's arrangements make the nine Basie associated songs all sound quite fresh and lightly swinging. Quite a few of these renditions are instantly memorable." -All Music Guide
