Tom Harrell | Roman Nights
Light On was an excellent album of Harrell’s compositions played by a sympathetic group of musicians who formed Harrell’s working band. That was followed with a second album, Prana Dance, also of high quality, and now comes the third installment, Roman Holiday. These three recordings go a long way toward stating the case for Harrell as a major jazz artist deserving of much wider recognition.
Tomasz Stanko Quintet | Dark Eyes
Veteran Polish trumpet player Tomasz Stanko has a well-deserved reputation for finding and nurturing good young talent. Like his previous band, this one has the talent to push their leader and mentor into new territory as well. Unlike that group, this one is Nordic
Mindi Abair | In Hi-Fi Stereo
In Hi-Fi Stereo puts the emphasis strongly back on Abair’s alto work and while there are vocal numbers, they mostly feature other singers. In Hi-Fi Stereo is meant to evoke a more hard-edged, soulful, funk-spiced sound favored by Abair influences such as Cannonball Adderley and David Sanborn.
David Benoit | Earthglow
There’s a difference between relaxing music and bland music, and Benoit succeeds in being relaxed yet engaged on Earthglow. Benoit’s writing here reaches a new level of melodic beauty and he uses the technological elements to create a serene setting that nestles his piano playing in a pocket of gorgeous sound.
 Miles Davis | The Complete Columbia Album Collection
Columbia Records is bringing its Miles Davis remastering project to grand closure with its limited edition release of The Complete Columbia Album Collection, an exclusive box set that provides the most complete overview of Davis’ recording career available, since all but the very last phase of his recording career was released by the label.
Lost Vinyl
Dave Liebman & Richie Beirach | Forgotten Fantasies
Liebman and Bierach were to be frequent collaborators for the rest of their careers. Sadly, many of their duo albums have been long out of print and never made available digitally. The same is true of a great deal of Beirich’s catalog, particularly some excellent albums he recorded for ECM. One excellent but long unavailable album by Liebman and Bierach is Forgotten Fantasies. Recorded on November 18, 19 & 20, 1975 it was released on A&M’s Horizon imprint.
