This first matchup on records between pianist Oscar Peterson and vibraphonist Milt Jackson was so logical that it is surprising it did not occur five years earlier…

Oscar Peterson, Ray Brown, Milt Jackson - The Very Tall Band: Live at the Blue Note (1999) PS3 ISO + Hi-Res FLAC Vinyl & HR

Posted by HDAtall at Dec. 2, 2018

Oscar Peterson's landmark meeting with Milt Jackson in the mid-'60s produced the very successful studio date Very Tall. They've played and recorded together on a number of occasions since then, joined by Ray Brown more often than not, but these live tracks recorded at the Blue Note are among their most satisfying sessions. Peterson continues his strong comeback from the serious stroke that he suffered in 1993, replacing his once ferocious tempos with an uncanny lyricism.

On my list of absolutely must have CDs this one stands "Very Tall" indeed! It features three recognized Masters of their instruments: Milt Jackson - vibes, Oscar Peterson - piano, and Ray Brown - bass. How can you go wrong when you have these three together plus the skillful Ed Thigpen on drums? The answer is you can't! Highlights include "Green Dolphin Street, which starts out wonderfully moody before developing into a mid-tempo swinger; the hauntingly beautiful "Heartstrings;" and the rousing "Work Song" with Brown's sharp bowing at the beginning, Peterson's stirring piano solo and the masterful give-and-take between OP and Jackson at the finale. These are just some highlights; the entire recording is a gem!

This is one of the best post-stroke Oscar Peterson sessions in the catalog, thanks in great part to the distinguished company he keeps (Ray Brown and Milt Jackson) and the stimulating atmosphere of the live setting (New York's Blue Note club). Right from the first track, "Ja-Da," you can tell that this is going to be a fun session, as the slippery, swinging, totally interlocked, totally assured way in which these vets react to each other kicks in immediately. Peterson's right hand is fleet, feathery in touch, and bluesy in feel; the left providing just enough punctuation, and at 75, Jackson's bluesy eloquence had not diminished in the least. Ray Brown's time and placement of notes is, as usual, impeccable, and the very talented drummer in his group at the time, Karriem Riggins, provides a swinging kick for the quartet. In the spirit of democracy, each star gets a solo number - Peterson plays his ballad "When Summer Comes"…

Oscar Peterson – Reunion Blues (With Milt Jackson) (1971) (MPS)

1971 | Jazz | EAC RIP | FLAC+CUE+LOG+HQ-Covers (400Dpi) | 242Mb+9Mb

This album was recorded in 1971 and not only features Ray Brown on Bass and Louis Hayes on drums, but also the great Milt Jackson on Vibes. The album kicks off with a version of Satisfaction (the Stones tune). Jackson and Peterson take good solos, but I wonder if they really wanted this on the album because there is a fade at the end of the track, which is quite unusual for a Jazz album. Maybe the producers wanted it, rather than the musicians. However the remaining tracks are firmly jazz standards. Theres a fine version of "Someday my Prince will come". "When I Fall In Love" is a beautifully played ballad where all the musicians shine and it might be the best track on the album. The album finishes with "Red Top" a lovely medium tempo blues which at this tempo allows Peterson and Jackson to both play great solos with Peterson really building up quite a head steam. Maybe not as excellent as "Very Tall", but worthy nevertheless.

Lester Young - The Complete Lester Young Studio Sessions on Verve [8CD Box Set] (1999) "Reload" Music

Posted by thingska at Sept. 18, 2010

With his airy, vibratoless tone and sophisticated harmonic imagination, Lester Young (1909-59) was arguably the most influential tenor saxophonist after Coleman Hawkins. As the star in Count Basie's big band and Billie Holiday's favorite soloist, Young's breezy solos, along with his patented porkpie hat and unique hipster jargon, affected legions of musicians. This 8-CD compilation marks the 90th anniversary of Young's birth and contains all of the recordings he made for producer Norman Granz from 1946 to 1959, the last 13 years of Young's life.
