From Jazziz
Drummer Jimmy Cobb can lay claim to his share of jazz history. He's the last survivor of Miles Davis' Kind of Blue ensemble and he played drums for Billie Holiday and Dinah Washington. The Kind of Blue rhythm section - Cobb, bassist Paul Chambers, and pianist Wynton Kelly - went on to perform as a trio on its own. They also backed Wes Montgomery on classics like Boss Guitar. But until recently, Cobb had never led his own band. The debut recording of Jimmy Cobb's Mob, Only for the Pure at Heart (Fable), features guitarist Peter Bernstein, bassist John Webber, and pianist Richard Wylands. "It has the same feeling as that rhythm section," Cobb says in reference to his team with Chambers and Kelly. "Sometimes, we even sound like the Wes Montgomery Quartet."

This set tells you why Jussi Bjorling is a perennial entrant in the "Tenor of the Century" sweepstakes. Even as the voice darkens from the light lyric to the full, darker instrument of the later recordings, we hear a singer whose elegant style, lovely timbre and innate musicality touch the heart. Many of the selections are sung in Swedish, less of a liability than you might suppose. In whatever language, Bjorling's molten gold flows lavishly. He eschews the sobs and sentimentality that disfigure so much verismo repertory, making his points with stylish vocalism. He's been called a "cool" singer, but try his Puccini and Verdi arias on Disc One and you'll find more than enough vocal and emotional heat. The selections include many neglected Scandinavian songs, sung, like the arias, with a naturalness that disarms criticism. -- Dan DavisAmazon.com
Swedish tenor Jussi Björling gets many votes for the distinction of greatest all-time tenor. Up to the end, the voice projected a boyish vulnerability, though he also had enough stentorian power to sing the heavy Puccini roles and was ready to take on Lohengrin when he died. He was so deeply musical he eschewed the usual tenor vulgarity without ever slighting the music's theatricality. Even these four well-filled discs of arias and songs can't fully encompass the vocal riches he left behind, but there's a lot here, much of it from his earliest years and (hope you don't mind) sung in a Swedish translation. --David Patrick StearnsJazz Music:
