Canadian tenor saxophonist, pianist & bassist's live performance in Toronto, feat. a fresh & meaningful interpretation of the "Ellington Medley"

This CD includes the 1951 sessions with members of Australia's Graeme Bell Band who were on tour in the U.K. at that time. They are notable for the late 1920s feel of the ensembles and the unique solo offerings of alto saxophonist Ade Monsbourgh. Lyttelton tapped into the rich expatriate Caribbean musical community for this early fusion of jazz and Caribbean rhythms (the Habanera touch). Saxophonists Freddie Grant and Bertie King, pianist Mike McKenzie, and guitarist Fitzroy Coleman are all featured alongside Lyttelton's potent trumpet and the warm glow of Wally Fawkes' clarinet. Marie Bryant is featured in four well chosen standards.

Abdullah Ibrahim (Dollar Brand) - solo piano.

Pianist celebrates the contribution made to jazz by women of African American ancestry & is a follow up to the 1979 collaboration between Doc Cheatham & Sammy Price.

This performance recording captures the genuine excitement and swing when top quality musicians get together in the creation of jazz music. Baritone saxophonist Joe Temperley and tenor saxophonist Harry Allen blend together into a highly distinctive tonal mix. Their irresistible desire to play music with swing turns whatever they play into explosively dynamic music. The recording took place at Sunnie Sutton's Rocky Mountain Jazz Party in October 2006 and the tracks include Oscar Pettiford's classic line Blues in the Closet, jazz standards in a Mellotone and Jumpin' at the Woodside, as well as popular songs like Cocktails for Two, Sweet & Lovely, I've Got a World on a String, Polka Dots & Moonbeams and Everything Happens to Me.

Brilliant follow up to 1983 New York date "Partners in Crime", Ralph Sutton-pno down under w. The Barnard Bros. Bob-tpt & Len-dms & washboard, recorded Sydney, Australia 1991.

Cornet player swings with Cal Collins-gtr, Keith Ingham-pno, Earl May-bss, Jackie Williams-drms, 16 tracks.

Cornet player is caught live in concert in Baden, Switzerland - this is the first "official" time that the duo performed together, backed up by the Henri Chaix Trio.

Trio whose playing reaches back to the earliest days of jazz. 1900-1920 were considered "the Mauve Decades," so on this Sackville CD, pianist Keith Ingham (in a trio with clarinetist Bobby Gordon and clarinetist Bobby Gordon) performs 17 songs written during that period. Although one might think that the music would be ragtime-oriented, in reality many of the songs retained their popularity into the 1920s and beyond, including "Glow Worm," "Ida," "My Gal Sal," "Some of These Days" and "Love Nest." The interpretations, which are a little reminiscent of the Benny Goodman Trio, fall into mainstream jazz, between swing and Dixieland. Everyone plays up to par, making this a good acquisition for pre-bop collectors.

(2-CD set) This reissue features the powers of four master pianists, Willie "The Lion" Smith, Don Ewell, Claude Hopkins and Sir Charles Thompson. On 10 tracks recorded in Toronto in 1967, Smith and Ewell perform as a duo. Hopkins performs solo in the style of the Harlem pianists of the 1920s on 8 tracks recorded in 1972, while Hopkins performs solo on 6 tracks from 1984.

Guitarist Reg Schwager and bassist Don Thompson recorded these duets in 1992. As Ted O'Reilly observes in his liner notes: "The intimacy of this music is the first thing you'll notice... a quiet conversation of musical intelligence before an attentive audience in a small, comfortable room. Well-chosen standards, ranging from the lightly swinging opener through the quiet closer, allow the listeners to appreciate the players' improvising skills". Reg is currently working with George Shearing, Barry Elmes Quintet and Dave McMurdo's Jazz Orchestra. Don has worked with John Abercrombie, Jim Hall and George Shearing.

Solo pianist/vocalist plays popular songs of the 1930's.

Jim Galloway returns for this second collection of Christmas songs on Sackville. This 1992 quartet session also features pianist Jay McShann. There is a mysterioso version of "Silent Night", imaginative arrangements of hackneyed popular songs ("Rudolph" and "Mommy Kissing Santa Claus"), sensitive ballads ("White Christmas" and "The Christmas Song"), jazz flavored tunes ("Christmas in New Orleans" and "Harlem") and a couple of McShann's specialties, a rhythm based romp ("Christmas Candy") and a reworking of traditional blues ideas ("Christmas Baby").
