The sophomore release from this jazz pianist is a tribute to the Nat King Cole Trio; a collection of popular classics performed in a traditional style. Produced by multi-Grammy Award-winning producer Tommy LiPuma, the album also features guitarist Russell Malone.
Diana's 1996 Grammy nominated All for You album topped the jazz radio and Billboard Jazz charts, remains in the Top 10 70 weeks after release and sold 200,000+ units worldwide. All that she has accomplished thus far is surpassed by the beauty, sensuality and humor she presents on her new album. In her own special style, Diana interprets love songs from across the musical spectrum with a new and compelling maturity. Multi-format album servicing to jazz (another #1 on Gavin is expected) and adult contemporary radio.
Satchidananda means knowledge, existence, bliss. Listen with your "inner ear" to Alice along with Pharoah Sanders, Charlie Haden, Rashid Ali, Cecil McBee and others. Part of Impulse's "best sounding jazz reissue series ever," this CD features audiophile quality remastering and high quality tri-fold digipak with original album art and liner notes with additional rare photos.
Ebullient piano legend Horace Silver is the innovator of the hard bop style that virtually defines today's "straight-ahead" jazz sound. Along with Art Blakey (with whom he founded the seminal group the Jazz Messengers), Silver brought a fresh infusion of funk, gospel, R&B and roots music back to jazz (which had become more abstract during the bebop era). Jazz Has a Sense of Humor consists of 9 new, jaunty Silver originals that aptly make his point that jazz can be both witty and playful.
The "Grandmaster of Jazz-Fusion" is back to show that he has not forgotten his roots. After a string of commercial output that brought him mainstream success, he comes back with something to prove. The haunting title track shows that his ambition never outstripped his contributions and reverence for traditional jazz.
Kenny Burrell freely draws upon the blues and expands upon the guitar work of T-Bone Walker, Oscar Moore and the legendary Django Reinhardt. This collection showcases the guitarist at the pinnacle of his career; the first 10 tracks are from his 1966 album the Tender Gender, a straight ahead session with his working group at the time. The remainder (except for the track "My Favorite Things," taken from a Chess Christmas album), are from a 1967 album, Ode to 52nd St., including the set's title track.
The incomparable jazz vibraphonist and composer Gary Burton is reunited with similarly-beloved guitarist Pat Metheny on this 1989 album, their first studio collab in over a decade. The pair play as though they'd never been apart, and this release houses 11 of the most virtuosic jazz-fusion tracks you'll ever hear.

Dave Weckl's jazz fusion album is a surprising blend of musical genres and sounds. Weckl, an accomplished drummer, crafts interesting arrangements that aren't just about the drums, but are clearly from a talented instrumentalist. Horns blast throughout, and there are nods to Latin music.
