Customer Review: Miles Davis' 1960 album Sketches Of Spain shows a wide variety of Jazz with a few Spanish sounding instruments, which highly explains the reason for the album's title. The horns on the album are so deep and the Spanish bells throughout the background helps elevate the sound. The tracks that I... more info
Customer Review: When I get older, losing my hair, many years from now, I will understand and appreciate this recording. Since I am young, opinionated, closed minded and longing for yesterday's thrill, I do not appreciate this recording. Whoops, I forgot I am 59 years old and I do appreciate this subtle... more info
Customer Review: If you love good music this is a must have. Wading Through is the baddest instrumental I've heard since Green Onions & White Silvery Sands. Those are golden oldies. I first heard "Wading Through" enroute to work one morning. It took me a year to find who it was and on what album (cd). This cut... more info
Customer Review: Frankly, I tend to agree with the reviewers who think there's simply too much ambiance noises and announcements collected here; perhaps the earlier studio dominated version was not such a bad idea?

Customer Review: I confess that I prefer the Capital Bones' renditions of these same arrangements. The REAL hook for me on this CD was the original Roulette version of Maynard Ferguson's "Christmas for Moderns." While the later version of this tune on the second Concord Christmas compilation is nice, Maynard was in... more info
Customer Review: While the melodies are lovely, and the music is well played, there is something missing from this recording. It doesn't quite reach the level of Gershwin's dramatic musicianship. Nice to listen to, but it would not be my first choice for this opera.
Customer Review: If you like music, you'll like this. If you're curious about jazz, but have no idea where to start, look no further: this is the place. Two masters, combining gloriously to make timeless, magical music.
