Feels Like Home by Norah Jones Price: $13.49 Customer Review:  When first listening to norah jones' 2nd album, the first thing that struck me is that it's very different from her first, the celebrated "Come Away With Me". Come away with me was bluesy and mellow in a pensive sort of way. "Feels like home" has a much more upbeat, and (generally) more fast-paced... |

Come Away with Me by Norah Jones Price: $13.49 Customer Review:  I first saw Norah Jones on Saturday Night Live. She performed the now, smash-hit "Don't Know Why". After hearing her perform, I went out the next day and immediately bought the CD. For only hearing one song, I must say that the CD WASN'T what I expected at ALL! It was MUCH, MUCH better and a truly... |

N'Awlinz: Dis Dat Or D'Udda by Dr John Price: $13.49 Customer Review: Straight shot o' Weesi-anna's best musical soundscape here, and ol' Dr. John is just the professor to bring it all home. If you prefer your Bayou sounds sanitized and watered down for Top 40, stay away from this. It's too pure and likely gonna be a tough dose of the real thing. On d'udda hand,... |

Arte Del Sabor by Bebo Valdes Price: $13.99 Customer Review: Highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys Cuban/Latin Jazz music. I have been to a Chucho Valdes live concert and I 've been hooked ever since... Both Bebo (his father) and him are wonderful musicians. It is a true delight! |

Somethin' Else by Cannonball Adderley Price: $10.99 Customer Review: Due to his contractual restraints with Columbia, Miles Davis was forced to record this album under the guise of it being a Cannonball Adderley project. This is then a Cannonball session in name only. Clearly this work follows along the same lines as Kind Of Blue, Miles's other masterwork also... |

Tourist by St Germain Price: $13.99 Customer Review: This 60 minute long cd is absolute a favourite of mine. The genre is what is called Nu Jazz/Nu House. The characteristics of the different tracks are cool, lounging, jazzy and soft House orientated beats. All the tracks vary a lot, so it is quite impossible to predict the next track on the cd. The... |

Birth of the Cool by Miles Davis Price: $10.99 Customer Review: This album not only put Miles Davis on the map, it started a whole new style of jazz music. Miles worked with Gil Evans on this 1949 project and the results were pure magic. The supporting cast of musicians are a nice group too. He even had french horn players (Junior Collins on one session, Sandy... |

What's Wrong With This Picture by Van Morrison Price: $13.99 Customer Review: All the reviewers who are trying to find prolific meaning in this (or any) cd are mental, period! Get a life. Yes, Van Morrison's music and lyrics may have sparked a bit more creative thought and genius in the past but jeezz, the guy is just that, a guy, not a god (although I think he is) Why does... |

The Ultimate Blue Train by John Coltrane Price: $13.99 Customer Review: John Coltrane was a monster of the tenor sax as early as 1955, when he first joined Miles Davis' band. An overachiever, Coltrane had a relentless and unvarying passion for practice, for improving his skills as an artist. As he progressed through his quite legendary career, he never ceased to... |

Maiden Voyage by Herbie Hancock Price: $10.99 Customer Review: The players on Maiden Voyage are essentially those of the Miles Davis band - but how different from Miles' records it sounds and feels! In 1965, Herbie Hancock's leadership and vision were rapidly taking shape. This album placed Hancock firmly in the company of the great jazz musicians. He had... |

Moanin' by Art Blakey Price: $10.99 Customer Review: Too many musicians of vision and great skill have died in their prime. Brownie, Booker Little, Bird. But to me, the greatest loss was Lee Morgan. He may have been in the middle of a spiral into mediocrity at the time of his death, but on 'Moanin' and 'The Big Beat', the next album by the Jazz... |

Somewhere: Songs of Leonard Bernstein by Bill Charlap Price: $14.99 Customer Review: Before I actually heard this, I was rather disappointed that Bill Charlap had chosen to follow "Stardust" (his 2002 Hoagy Carmichael tribute) with another single-composer album. That the composer in question was Leonard Bernstein made me all the more dubious, since in general his compositions seem... |

Midnight Blue by Kenny Burrell Price: $10.99 Customer Review: As far as jazz guitar on Blue Note records goes, there are two names you must know: Grant Green and Kenny Burrell. And while Grant's discography for Blue Note is humungous, Kenny did much of his recording as a sideman. But the numbers are all irrelevant when you listen to this masterpiece -- seven... |

I'm All for You by Joe Lovano Price: $14.99 Customer Review: Lovano rides again! Joe's improvisatory flexibility is amazing. He can play, and fantastically well, in all styles. He sounds like nobody else but this time makes us think of Lee Konitz and Warne Marsh at their best. Impecable rhythm section, magnificent choice of songs. Perfect with a glass of good... |

The Best of Django Reinhardt [Capitol/Blue Note] by Django Reinhardt Price: $14.99 Customer Review: Yes! My search was over that day, the day i bought this compilation, melody, rythm, swing, romanticism - what a package! I always have had some nonchalance towards jazz compilations, for no other reason but some kind of cheated feeling of getting the artists best of from a particular label. And... |

Best of Chet Baker Sings by Chet Baker Price: $14.99 Customer Review: Oh my God... I never thought this CD was THAT good. I bought it and I had in mind that it was just another Chet Baker CD with an OK selection, since I haven't heard some of the tracks. But I found out I was wrong, really wrong. Maybe he was THE West Coast Jazz face alongside Dave Brubeck, I... |

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones Price: $14.99 Customer Review: I doubt that too many folks reading this review haven't heard the smooth, melodic voice of Norah Jones, so I won't spend any time describing it to you. However, you haven't heard the best that Norah Jones has to offer until you've heard her on SACD! For starters the quality of the SACD version of... |

Sidewinder by Lee Morgan Price: $10.99 Customer Review: This is probably Lee Morgan's best album as a band leader, as most of his best work seems to have come earlier in his career as a member of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. This CD really swings- there is not a slow track on the album- all the numbers are upbeat, and Lee Morgan's trumpet solo on the... |

Speak No Evil by Wayne Shorter Price: $10.99 Customer Review: Enough said? No, I'm afraid I can't help but gush about my favorite jazz album. I can't figure why this album seems to sometimes be lumped in with the "avant-garde", because all of it is eminently listenable. In fact, perhaps what makes this record so uniquely great is how consistently accessible... |

I am planning a trip to Portugal and wanted to know what Fado is all about, so to speak, before I went, so when the news came out that Amalia Rodrigues, unquestioned queen of her art form,... |

New Conceptions by Chucho Valdes Price: $14.99 Customer Review: Swinging rhythms, novel interpretations of some classics and as usual, outstanding fingerwork on the keyboards confirm why Chuco is the giant that he is in Latin Jazz. |
