I Got No Kick Against Modern Jazz Customer Review: Light-hearted jazz done by some heavy-hitters
I don’t think they set out to set the world on fire. Even the title suggests as much. That being said, they took liberties with some well-known songs and made it work. My favorite tracks? All of them. I bought this CD because of McCoy Tyner, for my money the best pianist around today. But the others were remarkable as well. Would I recommend this CD? Absolutely. Remember, this is not Coltrane doing “My favorite things.” This is a group of stars who got together to have some fun. And have fun they did. I didn’t give it five stars because there are no classics here. Just good music.
Customer Review: Jazzed Up Beatle Tunes
This is an incredible album especially if you are just getting your toes wet with light jazz. For the Jazz purist, this would probably be too contemporary. Highlights are Nelson Rangell’s sax on “let It Be’, Arthuro Sandoval’s version of ‘Blackbird’ and George Benson’s version of ‘Long And Winding Road’. But don’t sell the rest of the disc short - Diana Krall’s version of ‘And I Love Her’ shines. Not a bad cut on this album.
