Buy Now	Last Waltz: The Final Recordings Live (more) »rank: 11140 by: Bill Evans Trio : :This eight-CD set was recorded at San Francisco's Keystone Korner between August 31 and September 8, 1980, just a week before Evans's death on September 15. With Evans were bassist Marc Johnson and drummer Joe LaBarbera. It was an unusually well-balanced rhythm team for the pianist, perhaps the best combination of talents since he first developed his trio style with Scott LaFaro and Paul Motian two decades before. They provide Evans with responsive support that can shift from the quietest underpinnings to aggressive stimulation. There's often a characteristic movement here from introspective solo passages to vigorous trio dialogues that shows just how hard ...

Buy Now	The Complete Africa/Brass Sessions (more) »rank: 56215 by: John Coltrane : essential recording:In 1961 John Coltrane's explorations of different modes and rhythms led to several powerful works that invoked other cultures, like 'Olé,' 'India,' and 'Brazilia.' While those pieces were all recorded with expanded versions of his quartet, 'Africa' was a unique opportunity, with Eric Dolphy's arrangements for up to 13 brass and reed instruments providing a setting of volcanic energy for Coltrane's majestic, declamatory tenor and the surging drumming of Elvin Jones. The orchestrations, as well as the solos, vary on the two sessions heard here, and there are also thoughtful adaptations of traditional material like 'Greensleeves,' a lilting feature for Coltrane's ...
