Herb Alpert - Over the Rainbow (CD)
DESCRIPTION
On his 2019 album, Over The Rainbow, Herb Alpert began the same way he has done for all of his albums over the years: searching for great melodies. That search has resulted in the prolific trumpeter's latest offering, a collection of 11 classics and one brand new, original track. That original song, "Skinny Dip", opens the album with a quirky, fun vibe before things move on to recognizable tunes from the great American songbook, which are included for various reasons close to Herb's heart. He felt the danger in the tightrope walk of recording his own version of the iconic "Over The Rainbow", which was cemented within pop culture by Judy Garland's performance and many other fantastic recordings. And whether it's a tribute to Gypsy jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt on "All Love", Bill Withers on "Ain't No Sunshine", or the great Louis Armstrong on "What A Wonderful World", there is always a deeper connection and meaning for Herb on every cover selected for this album, making it one of the most personal projects he has ever worked on.
Tracklist:
- 1 Skinny Dip
- 2 Ain't No Sunshine
- 3 All Love
- 4 Fantasy
- 5 Over the Rainbow
- 6 Copacabana
- 7 With You I'm Born Again

Dexter Gordon - GO (CD)
DESCRIPTION
By the time Dexter Gordon came to record Go in 1962 he had already completed nine studio albums and so was something of an experienced hand in the studio. Supporting him on this outing was the stylish pianist Sonny Clark, the energetic Billy Higgins on drums and the solid bass player Butch Warren. Whilst the three musicians are undoubtedly crucial to the overall feel of the album, this is still very much Dexter Gordon's album - it is he who calls the shots and ultimately shines. Featuring one new composition in Cheese Cake, the rest of the material finds the quartet tackling the likes of Cole Porter's Love For Sale, Harold Adamson and Jimmy McHugh's Where Are You and Jule Styne and Sammy Cahn's Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out To Dry, among others. Recorded in a single day and given the feel of a live performance (although it was recorded in a studio), the album would prove to be virtually the peak album of Dexter's career.
Tracklist:
- 1 Cheese Cake
- 2 Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out to Dry
- 3 Second Balcony Jump
- 4 Love for Sale
- 5 Where Are You?
- 6 Three O'Clock in the Morning

McCoy Tyner - Impulse Albums Collection (CD)
DESCRIPTION
Born in Philadelphia on 11th December 1938, as a youth McCoy Tyner was encouraged to study piano by his mother and began lessons at age 13. Within two years music had become the focal point in his life and Tyner was playing on his neighbour's instrument, but his family soon invested in one of his own for the budding musician, following which he began hosting jam sessions at home. Among his friends were a number of other young musos who would go on to make their mark in the field of jazz, including Lee Morgan, Archie Shepp, Bobby Timmons, Reggie Workman, and most notably, fellow pianist Bud Powell and his brother Richie. McCoy later said, "Bud and Richie Powell moved into my neighbourhood. Bud was a major influence on me during my early teens. He was very dynamic." Tyner later attended the West Philadelphia Music School and the Granoff School Of Music. Also included as part of this collection, is a rare, previously unreleased recording of a jam session undertaken by members of John Coltrane's group in Munich in 1961, led by Eric Dolphy on bass clarinet and McCoy Tyner on piano. This unique and rarely heard recording also featured Reggie Workman on bass, Mel Lewis on drums, and Coltrane himself contributed trumpet to one number. This complete 4 CD collection, containing almost five hours of music, showcases all of Tyner's work with Impulse! As a bandleader, bringing together as it does McCoy Tyner's finest early releases, during a period that the great man went from being a breakaway from John Coltrane's group, to a fully-fledged international and wildly respected jazz band-leader in his own right. This boxed set will thus serve as both welcome reminder of this sublime musician's best ever work, or as a starting point for those not yet flying the flag.
