(more) »rank: 62554 by: Marcia Ball, Irma Thomas, Tracy Nelson : :Why settle for one great female vocalist when you can get three, especially when they're stylish soul diva Irma Thomas, Tracy 'Mother Earth' Nelson, and swamp rocker (and roller) Marcia Ball. The talented trio take the Sing It! title seriously, belting all hues of blues with satisfying sass and sincerity. Backed by a fine and funky band of Memphis-soul stalwarts and New Orleans session stars, the ladies shine both individually and as a team. Thomas, the longtime 'Soul Queen of New Orleans,' struts her stuff on the Bobby 'Blue' Bland classic 'Yield Not to Temptation,' while Ball puts some patented bayou boogie, powered ...
Buy Now	Ken Burns JAZZ Collection: Count Basie (more) »rank: 104919 by: Count Basie : :Like many artists in the series of CDs accompanying Ken Burns's 10-part documentary Jazz, Count Basie did some label hopping through his career. This makes a definitive greatest-hits collection rather difficult. Another complicating factor is Basie's unflappable evenness. His music was almost always on the money, mixing lithe swing with hard-punching riffs and rhythms with awesome balance. This 19-song collection begins with Basie at the piano in Bennie Moten's Kansas City Orchestra for 1932's 'Toby.' They're kicking much harder than Basie would later advocate in his own bands, but the light's burning no less bright for that. The 10 tracks following 'Toby' show ...

Buy Now	Forever Blue (more) »rank: 21073 by: Chuck Leavell : :Chuck Leavell admits to three passions: his family, his tree conservation, and his music. A bluesman to the core who's worked with the Allman Brothers Band, the Fabulous Thunderbirds, and Gov't Mule, the Georgia-based piano player touches the hearts of listeners here with solo performances of mostly original material. The title song pleases with Leavell's improvisations on blues sequences, his references to the history of blues piano tied together with an impressive craftsmanship. Genre-bender 'A Lotta Colada,' which he originally wrote for his blues-rock-jazz group Sea Level, displays even more of his creative musical mind. Leavell's 'Song for Amy' points to the sunny ...

Buy Now	Afterglow (more) »rank: 35250 by: Dr. John : :Unlike his In a Sentimental Mood, which swung wildly from Tin Pan Alley standards to supper-club blues, Afterglow is mostly interested in recapturing the late '40s and early '50s, when jazz, blues, and pop intersected with sophisticated ease. The choice of material is impeccable--songs made popular by Nat 'King' Cole, Louis Jordan, and Duke Ellington--and the playing is superb throughout. However, 'Ain't I Been Good to You,' 'Just a Lucky So and So,' and a stark read of 'I'm Confessin'' are particularly effective. And on his original, 'I Still Believe in You,' Dr. John proves just how influenced he is by West Coast ...
