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, Roy Ayers and Chet Baker on Verve
Ramsey Lewis Trio: Live At The Bohemian Caverns
Roy Ayers: Ubiquity Vibrations
Chet Baker: In Paris - 1955-1956 Barclay Recordings

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

Marc Copland's New York Trio
