Since We Met Bill Evans

Bennett, whose recorded legacy has been gathered in a 76-disc boxed set titled The Compete Collection, has been doing that for over 60 years: saving our souls with the greatest songs ever written. The Complete box is an absolute necessity, first because it contains several previously unreleased albums, like On the Glory Road and From This Moment On, a live concert taped in Las Vegas that collectors have been salivating over since 1964.

When we are brothers, we can hardly speak of reunion. Especially since Lionel and Stéphane Belmondo have regularly met in the studio to engrave their conversations in wax, to give a snapshot of their life… Their Belmondo Quintet which they founded in 1993 is one of the most shining Rolls of the world. hexagonal jazz. A kind of endearing club that brings the tradition of cool jazz to life like that of post bop and hard bop with virtuosity, and nourishes it with a thousand influences.

The Miles Davis Quintets 1960 European tour marked the end of the most dynamic front line partnership since Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker. This edition features the Quintets complete April 8, 1960 performance at Kongresshaus, in Zurich, Switzerland. Miles and Trane really stretched out on these tunes, averaging about 14 minutes per song!

During four marathon recording sessions in 1953-55, Norman Granz recorded Art Tatum playing 119 standards, enough music for a dozen LPs. The results have been recently reissued separately on eight CDs and on this very full seven-CD box set. Frankly, Tatum did no real advance preparation for this massive project, sticking mosty to concise melodic variations of standards, some of them virtual set pieces formed over the past two decades. Since there are few uptempo performances, the music in this series has a certain sameness after awhile but, heard in small doses, it is quite enjoyable. A special bonus on this box (and not on the individual volumes) are four numbers taken from a 1956 Hollywood Bowl concert.
