50832	BRUBECK, DAVE -QUINTET-	ONCE WHEN I WAS VERY YOUNG	31.07.90	On this nostalgic and often wistful set, Dave Brubeck and his 1991 Quartet (clarinetist Bill Smith, bassist Jack Six and drummer Randy Jones) play eight songs from the pianist's childhood, such numbers as "Shine on Harvest Moon," "Stardust" and "Among My Souvenirs"

51172	ELLINGTON, MERCER & DUKE ELLINGTON ORCHESTRA	ONLY GOD CAN MAKE A TREE	22.06.96	This was the final project of Mercer Ellington who, even this late in his life (within a year of his death), was unable (or unwilling) to escape from the shadow of his father; he should at least have renamed his big band after himself
51622	ELLINGTON, DUKE	CORNELL UNIVERSITY CONCERT VOL.2	05.04.97
51142	ELLINGTON, DUKE	CORNELL UNIVERSITY CONCERT	24.02.96	Duke Ellington made no studio recordings in 1948, which makes the concert tapes from that year especially interesting. The Cornell University concert in December is especially interesting in contrast to Ellington's sixth annual Carnegie Hall appearance

51412	FUSE ONE	COMPLETE RECORDINGS	27.01.96	FUSION 1989 Album

50002	GOODMAN, BENNY	YALE UNIVERSITY MUSIC LIBRARY VOL.1	30.07.91	Collection of performances that skip around between 1955 and 1986. Among the dozen selections on this CD are a couple of tunes by BG's 1955 combo with trumpeter Ruby Braff, an example of the group he led briefly in 1959 with trombonist Bill Harris and Flip Phillips's tenor, some okay big-band performances, Goodman's forgotten 1967 septet with trumpeter Joe Newman and tenor-saxophonist Zoot Sims, and a version of "Blue Room" played by his last band, Goodman's 1986 orchestra
50062	GOODMAN, BENNY	YALE UNIVERSITY MUSIC LIBRARY VOL.2	30.07.91	Live at The Basin Street; The second CD to be compiled from the valuable tapes that Benny Goodman willed to Yale features one of his strongest groups from the '50s, a septet with trumpeter Ruby Braff, tenorman Paul Quinichette and pianist Teddy Wilson
50402	Goodman,Benny	YALE UNIVERSITY MUSIC LIBRARY VOL.5	01.05.92	2CD Goodman combos are featured: a fine ten-piece unit from 1959-60 that includes trumpeter Jack Sheldon, trombonist Bill Harris and Flip Phillips on tenor, and an otherwise totally unrecorded sextet from 1963. The latter not only features cornetist Bobby Hackett and the young bassist Steve Swallow but the forgotten Modesto Bresano, who contributes some fine tenor and flute
50472	GOODMAN, BENNY	YALE UNIVERSITY MUSIC LIBRARY VOL.6	30.06.90	Live at The Rainbow Grill 1966-67 w/Joe Newman - trumpet/ Zoot Sims - tenor sax/ Attila Zoller - guitar/ Herbie Hancock - piano/ "Doc" Cheatham - trumpet/…

50182	HAND, FREDERIC	HEART'S SONG	30.07.91	FUSION Guitar
51502	HAND, FREDERIC	JAZZANTIQUA	02.11.96	The group Jazzantiqua back in 1983 sought to combine together Baroque music with jazz, driven by the fact that when Baroque music was first performed, it often contained improvisation. Frederic Hand is heard on guitar, lute, and the vihuela (a Spanish guitar of the 16th century), performing original works that utilize Baroque-era themes and unusual arrangements that are somewhat thought-provoking (even if they were ultimately not influential at all)
50452	HANNA, ROLAND -SIR-	Duke Ellington Piano Solos	30.06.90	This Roland Hanna disc offers one of the most consistently enjoyable 46 minutes of music to be heard
51632	HERRING, VINCENT	CHANGE THE WORLD	12.08.97	Altoist Vincent Herring teams up with pianist Joey Calderazzo, bassist Richie Goods, drummer Carl Allen and percussionist Daniel Sadownick to perform a rather unusual repertoire for a jazz date
51762	HUBBARD, FREDDIE	GOD BLESS THE CHILD	05.09.98	"God Bless the Child" compiles tracks from Freddie Hubbard's three previous MusicMasters label releases, "Bolivia", "Live at Fat Tuesday's" and "MMTC"

51202	HYMAN, DICK	Dick Hyman Plays Gershwin, Porter, Berlin and Arlen	01.04.95	2-CD
51282	JACKIE & ROY	FOREVER	28.02.95	Jackie Cain and Roy Kral have been together since the late '40s, performing music that pleases their many fans. Based originally in bebop, Jackie & Roy have always been jazz-oriented, even when their repertoire and arrangements wander a bit into other styles
50612	JACKSON, MILT	THE HAREM	03.09.94	w/flutist James Moody, Jimmy Heath (on soprano and tenor), pianist Cedar Walton, bassist Bob Cranshaw and drummer Kenny Washington (although the soprano-flute blend works very well)
51402	KONITZ, LEE	ROUND AND ROUND	31.07.90	With the assistance of pianist Fred Hersch, bassist Mike Richmond and drummer Adam Nussbaum, Konitz manages to uplift this session above the level of a potential gimmick and finds unexpected beauty in these standards and originals
51403	KONITZ, LEE	ROUND & ROUND	27.01.96
51512	KONITZ, LEE & BRAZILIAN BAND	BRAZILIAN RHAPSODY	13.08.96	A Tribute to Antonio Carlos Jobim
51132	Kooper,Al	Soul of a Man: Live	14.02.95	2CD Al Kooper solo project, and a career reconsideration and retrospective, but it's also damn close to definitive as a document of the Blues Project and the original Blood, Sweat & Tears as well. At three February 1994 gigs at New York's Bottom Line, Kooper got together the original members of both bands (with BS&T billed as "Child Is Father to the Man") and his own Rekooperators, including John Simon and Harvey Brooks, with John Sebastian sitting in on harmonica, to perform new versions of 33 years' worth of repertory
51182	LAWS, HUBERT	STORM THEN THE CALM	13.09.94	Feat. Eloise Laws
50242	LEWIS JAZZ ORCHESTRA, MEL	THE DEFINITIVE THAD JONES	26.03.94	w/baritonist Gary Smulyan, both Joe Lovano and Ralph Lalama on tenors, altoists Ted Nash and Dick Oatts, trumpeter Glenn Drewes and pianist Kenny Werner
50462	LEWIS JAZZ ORCHESTRA, MEL	THE DEFINITIVE THAD JONES VOL.2	21.05.94	w/baritonist Gary Smulyan, both Joe Lovano and Ralph Lalama on tenors, altoists Ted Nash and Dick Oatts, trumpeter Glenn Drewes and pianist Kenny Werner
51482	LIONEL	YOU DON'T LOOK LIKE YOU SOUND	26.10.96	JAZZ-ROCK
51392	MCCANN, LES	LISTEN UP	18.06.96	Pianist/vocalist Les McCann's first recording since a major stroke in early 1995 found him a weakened player, utilizing a second keyboardist on most selections, but still a powerful singer. McCann and his Magic Band are augmented by a quite a few notable guests on this set, including pianist George Duke, guitarist Dori Caymmi, organist Billy Preston, guitarist David T. Walker and tenorman Ernie Watts; steel drummer Andy Narell
50902	NORVO, RED -ORCHESTRA-	LIVE FROM BLUE GARDENS	31.07.90	Red Norvo's 1942 big band only recorded two songs and was otherwise completely undocumented. However, a tape of a radio broadcast was saved by trombonist Eddie Bert through the years and released on CD in 1992 by Music Masters
50522	PARIS ALLSTAR BAND	A TRIBUTE TO CHARLIE PARKER	21.05.94	Feat. Jay McShann
50532	SCOTT, BOBBY	SLOWLY	03.12.94	Piano 1960 Recording

50142	SCHOENBERG, LOREN & JAZZ ORCHESTRA	SOLID GROUND	31.07.91	SWING
50682	SEGAL, MISHA	ZAMBOOKA	15.10.94	w/Chick Corea/ Mark Isham/ Brian Bromb
51192	SHAW, ARTIE	MIXED BAG	25.02.95	There are four titles from clarinetist Artie Shaw's 1945 big band (which include a couple of solos from the fiery trumpeter Roy Eldridge) and 14 songs recorded with studio orchestras in 1946
50652	STAMM, MARVIN	BOPBOY	13.08.91	w/Bob Mintzer/ Phil Markowitz/ Lincoln Goines/ Terry Clarke
50852	STAMM, MARVIN	MYSTERY MAN	08.06.93	Trumpeter Marvin Stamm, rather than drag out the usual bebop standards, mostly introduces new material on his CD. Four songs are played by Berg's quartet with pianist Bill Charlap, bassist Mike Richmond, and drummer Terry Clarke; six add Bob Mintzer's tenor, and of those songs, three find Bob Malach (on tenor and soprano) making the band a sextet
50092	TERRY, CLARK & LOUIE BELLSON	EAST SIDE SUITE	31.07.91	w/Louie Bellson Jazz Orchestra Feat.Clark Terry; This is one of Louie Bellson's most satisfying big-band releases
50082	TERRY, CLARK & LOUIE BELLSON	HOT	31.07.91	This 1987 CD features four originals by the drummer, three obscurities, and an opening "Caravan" that has solo space for guest flugelhornist Clark Terry, the great tenor Don Menza and Bellson. The other selections feature such talented soloists as trumpeters Brian O'Flaherty and Glenn Drewes, George Young on alto and soprano, altoist Joe Roccisano, Kenny Hitchcock on tenor, and pianist John Bunch
51242	TURRENTINE, STANLEY	TIME	18.07.95	Turrentine with Kenny Drew, Jr. (keyboards), Dave Strykier (g), Dwayne Dolphin (b), and Mark Johnson (d). Modern, small-group Turrentine. He plays the horn like few others, but this is not in the style of his vintage soul stuff
