Editorial Reviews
Jazz Times
At this point in his distinguished career the ageless appearing Charles McPherson is as consistently satisfying an alto player as there is on this planet.... Manhattan Nocturne turns to Brazil for its rhythmic inspiration, while McPherson's Fire Dance is leavened with a spirited Afro-Cubano chant.

3 out of 5 stars A piece of history.......2006-06-03

Many of the songs on this recording are not available in sheet music, and although the sound quality isn't "leading edge" it makes me feel as though I am listening to actual performers back in the 30's & 40's, with young and gifted singers like Frank Sinatra, Jo Stafford, and Mel Torme, as well as others who are nameless or unknown to me on this album, and a delight to listen to. Manhattan Tower is why I bought this CD, and I got so much more from it than I bargained for. The illusion I have when I play it is that I am a young jazz artist in New York, feeling the pulse of the city and filling up with everything about being a part of New York.

1 out of 5 stars A BIG disappointment!.......2004-08-19

I bought this CD for the Slaughter on Tenth Avenue soundtrack ballet by Richard Rodgers and Lennie Hayton. But none of the tracks on this CD can be appreciated. It is a mono recording, and that immediately leaves you with a very incomplete sound. No amount of treble and bass adjustment can eliminate the awful tinny sound throughout the disc.

Charles McPherson is a consumate artist and this album provides the listener the opportunity to sample his flawless technique and superb improvisational skills. "The Thrill is Gone", with its upbeat interpretation and precussion, takes on a renewed vibrancy and sets a mood that is sustained throughout the disc. Charles McPherson has absorbed much in his varied career and distilled it and made it his own, combining lyricism with a mixture of straight ahead styling grounded in blues and bop that remains powerful and free from cliches.

4 out of 5 stars The Andre Kostelanetz Touch.......2002-05-31

If you were born before 1950, you will like this CD. I bought it because I have long admired Andre Kostelanetz. He was accomplished in leading both popular and classical orchestras. The recordings on this CD are monaural and were recorded in the late 30's to mid 40's. I don't think Tiger Rag, Bugle Call Rag and Turkey in the Straw complement the other selections. The remainder, however, are lush and romantic.

            Before you think this is just for fanatical collectors, be advised that, although these true rarities were recorded between 1929 and 1940, the sound is quite decent and the result is a really special listening experience. Among the highlights is a delightful 1932 performance of Poe's "The Raven," chillingly narrated by Benjamin de Loache, with music by Russian émigré Arcady Dubensky. --David Vernier
