An American Master (but it takes a European to know).......2007-06-08

A previous reviewer, Mr. Chandlee from Paris, has crafted a concise single-paragraph review as insightful for its evaluation of Stitt's music as for its appraisal of the immediate and more lasting cultural significance of this supreme player. In fact, it's the verbal equivalent of a Sonny Stitt solo! Hardly the most innovative musician, Stitt was certainly the "most perfect" of saxophone players. It's been estimated he recorded approximately 150 sessions under his own name in his 30-year-career. On the '50s Roost recordings (the tapes were thought lost until recently), he would arrive at the studio, quickly select 10 standards and proceed to play three-minute improvised solos that could not have been better constructed if composed in advance. The syntax wasn't as complex as Parker's but was no less original or remarkable for being a more universally understood logic (as the reviewer, Mr. Hodges, states more plainly in his review). And the beauty of his sound! "Pure" and "pellucid" but also undeniably "black," or "soulful"--a fully "embodied" tone on both saxophones. And the articulations--as crisp and fluent as any other saxophonist on the planet--but also capable of introducing tones with a warmly legato tonguing, followed through by a wistful, slightly elegaic quality alternating with the utter "presence" of the uptempo numbers, whether bebop sound & fury or inner-city blues.

Stitt was not an "open" improviser. He had his formulae, which he stitched seamlessly together and worked to perfection, which some listeners hold against him. His playing, or "system," is about "closure," rather than the continual creation of tension. I don't think Sonny ever saw a tonic chord he didn't like, and whenever the opportunity presented itself, he would touch "home base" before embarking on his next melodic excursion. As a listener, there are times when a Hank Mobley or Harold Land is like a fresh breath of air, but inevitably, even after Coltrane and Dexter, I return to the mastery of Stitt, who was instrumentally to the American Songbook what Sinatra was vocally. He was a ubiquitous lone wolf, a traveling musical gunslinger for hire who loved tenor and alto "battles" (I've always felt he was a bit more creative on alto, though his audiences, and probably Sonny as well, seemed to favor the tenor, especially for the "duels").

These two Roost sessions are merely representative, not quintessential, Stitt-- but even representative Stitt is timeless, quintessential jazz. Still, you might look for "New York Jazz" (Jimmy Jones rather than Hank Jones), which is like an Art Tatum recording--a bit overwhelming but indispensable; also "Sonny Stitt with the Oscar Peterson Trio" is worth the price of the Japanese import; and "In Style" finds him in rare form on both horns, sometimes on the same tune.

Sonny played through pain, hard knocks, heavy hang-overs, but he kept playing--and 90% of it is "can't miss." But avoid anything with "Ronnie Scott's" or "Left-Bank" in the title (both are rip-offs) as well as any sessions on which he distorts his gorgeous sound with the Selmer Varitone attachment that he favored for several years in the late '60s. Also, he appeared with Blakey's Jazz Messengers on two dates in the '60s--the 2nd one, on Impulse ("Jazz Message," I believe), is particularly lame (at least for a Stitt performance).

Perhaps the most currently prized out-of-print set is "Endgame Brilliance," a single CD compilation of the two studio sessions--"Tune Up" and "Constellation"--that caused musicians and critics to "rediscover" him in the early to mid-1970s. (It may be coming out as a Spanish import.) Finally, the most fascinating match-up in the music: the six months Sonny played with Miles in 1960 following the departure of Coltrane. It's a colossal struggle--Miles' new modernist, modal bag vs. Sonny's Bird-inherited harmonic universe and bop language. Miles tries everything to shove Sonny's face in the new music, but he'll have none of it. (I caught Sonny many times in person. He could be outgoing and personable--or as cold and "ornery," stubborn and independent as they come, barely more approachable than Miles). Neither player gives an inch on the Miles-Sonny confrontations (available only on overseas recordings made in France and Sweden).

Bird Lite?.......2006-09-30

My first reaction to hearing Sonny Stitt was "Bird Lite", like he was a kinder, gentler Charlie Parker. After listening to this CD every day since I got it, I would refine that initial impression. Sonny flies to the heights of a Parker, but he first adheres to the melody line of the (mostly) standards on this disk. And he plays that line with beauty and control. Then, when he takes off into the improvisational stratosphere, it's a lot easier to mentally attach the variations to the melody. Also, the effect of the sudden acceleration is breath-taking. I love Charlie, but I find SS a more listenable music experience. I love garlic, but I don't eat the cloves raw, know what I mean?

My prior exposure to Sonny Stitt was through his late career recordings on Verve. The playing here seems vastly more assured. And as noted below, the remastering job is awesome: you really get to hear the delicate nature of the tone of the sax; his alto always seemed a little screechy to my ears on the Verve records. And the bonus is the piano work of Hank Jones. Wow! Complex, melodic, and perfectly simpatico with the horn.

This CD is really something special; it's one of those rare jazz records where all the elements come together perfectly. Nearly 80 minutes worth, and I'm always a little sad when it's over. If I had any complaint at all, it's that I would have liked to have heard more of his tenor sax playing, which is confined to the last few tracks.

Mastery.......2006-03-08

The advent of the CD, with its close-up reproduction of the sound of the saxophone, has been particularly kind to the late Sonny Stitt by bringing out his remarkable sonority on tenor and here primarily on alto. For those who knew Stitt from variable-quality LPs, the first exposure to his best recordings on CD can be hair-raising. Here on 13 cuts he is superbly accompanied by Hank Jones, Wendell Marshall and Shadow Wilson, also featured to great advantage on a recent live 50s release with Monk and Coltrane. Obviously inspired, Stitt's fiery, hard-edged yet voluptuous sound is the capper on his superb mastery of the three other parameters - melody, harmony and rhythm. Sonny Stitt did it all, as few others ever have, if truth be known. Of course as a musician who came up during the years when Charlie Parker dominated the jazz landscape, his playing is within the idiom created by Bird. But attentive listening reveals Sonny's originality and unique brilliance. Like Handel, Vivaldi and Telemann who made inestimable contributions while never reaching the level of JS Bach, Stitt's playing, while not as complex and innovative as Bird's, seemed to effortlessly attain gorgeous summits on days like these sessions with Hank Jones. His intensity and blues heat often transcends bebop and even jazz, exemplifying a popular musical form all his own, somewhere between rhythm and blues, song and the big-city night sound of the old black neighborhoods, where Stitt was a popular hero, incessantly on tour, ever constant to the blues and immensely respected for his faithfulness both to Bird's idiom and to himself. To some degree, his omnipresence and mastery consoled jazz fans for the premature departure of the incomparable Bird. These sides are exemplary of the rewards for the listener attentive to his confidence, control, kaleidoscopic yet always relevant virtuosity, and his urbane yet exalting soulfulness.

Album Description

Although Ruby Braff and Dave McKenna played together on several occasions during their long careers, these two sessions best represent their collective legacy for a number of reasons. It must be said that their recorded collaborations were not as abundant as one might expect. Their two initial sessions together were as sidemen for other musicians: a 1955 date as part of the Benny Goodman septet, and a February 1956 session backing singer Milli Vernon's recording debut. These dates were followed by the two incredible sessions included here. After that, the only known recordings of the Hackett-McKenna partnership are a 1961 live recording at Eddie Condon's with Bobby Hackett and Peanuts Hucko, and two 1991-93 double albums with a band including tenor saxophonist Scott Hamilton. The sessions featured on this edition are, thus, their only true small group quartet/quintet) recordings and the only instrumental sessions they made at the peak of their careers, in which both musicians can be considered, in a way, session leaders. Gambit. 2006.

A good deal to enjoy.......2006-04-15

Though Beethoven could play the violin he was not a virtuoso on the instrument. The piano, on the other hand, was changed as an instrument by him. He was always on a quest for more sonorous and richer sounds and piano makers did their best to oblige. Many of Beethoven's avant guarde ideas about composition and the role of music in self expression started as piano sonatas and piano works. With this in mind, Beethovens compositions for the piano are some of the most outstanding, brilliant, and technically pure works to emerge from any composer. It is impossible not to feel the emotions Beethoven wishes to convey from piece to piece.

The piano sonatas are really self contained dramas. In them, you will hear the expressions of sadness, beauty, rage, and unbounded joy. It is impossible to listen to this collection and not find pleasure in it. The recordings as well as the performers are top-notch. Highly recommended.

Jazzy Ludwig!.......2005-02-17

An excellent set featuring Ludwig van's sets of variations wherein he gets jazzy and swings on catchy tunes! Highly recommended.

NOTE: For those of you who don't understand metaphor: what I'm saying here is that Beethoven used popular operatic hit-tunes of his day and improvised variations on those tunes--as is done in America's original art-form--Jazz. Get it?

Customer Reviews:

Outstanding and a Remarkable Bargain.......2005-08-11

Mozart's string quartets need no introduction. This collection is a compilation of recordings made by the famous Quartetto Italiano over a period of several years. The playing is excellent and it is very interesting to hear this range of quartets played by a single ensemble. At less than $14 per disk (Amazon list price plus shipping costs), this is an incredible bargain for so much rewarding music.

Nobilissima visione!.......2005-04-01

Since you listen the first bars of any of these memorable works, you feel the difference that makes the great difference. The approach given by these excellent musicians is unique in what sublime perfection, astonishing musicality and enrapturing commitment concerns. Paolo Borciani, the unforgettable leader of this ensemble sealed his name in the Holly Pantheon of the greatest with these unvaluable, prodigious and lavish recordings.
All the possible adjectives are not enough to describe the status of these performances.
Don't miss these golden recordings under no pretext!

a remarkable set.......2002-11-08

This box set is a fantastic addition to anyone's Mozart collection. Performances are passionate and simply beautiful.
It is fascinating to listen to the quartets chronologically and hear Mozart's development as a composer (even the earliest quartets have many fine moments). While the sound quality of the quartets recorded in 1966 are not as crisp as those recorded in the 70s, every disc has acceptable sound and is a treasure in itself.
Highest of recommendations!

import labels do right by jazz fans.......2007-04-18

it should drive every jazz fan nuts that small import labels take the time to compile and release jazz sessions the way they should be . when I first heard that there were a number of quartet sides cut by waldron and mclean I figured I'd have to buy 3 or 4 cd's to get all of them . well , here they all are , on a 2 cd set , reasonably priced and sounding fine . as for the actual contents , these sessions pre-date mclean's coming into his own as a soloist , so I've docked them a notch accordingly . still this stuff is definitely worth having if you're a fan of either artist , and I can't stress enough how terrific it is that labels like definitive , fresh sounds , and lonehill are around to serve the needs of jazz fans . and a big boo to the folks at concord/ojc for not doing this kind of thing on a regular basis .

The Original Quartets, Trio, Quintet and Tentette.......2006-09-29

This music spans the time period between June 1952 and May, 1953, just before Gerry Mulligan's bust. It differs from the Blue Note/Pacific Jazz compilation in that it incorporates live material from the Blackhawk and the Haig, a half session done for the Gene Norman Presents label and others. The first 3 CDS overlap the Blue Note compilation with various quartets and 3 trio tunes (without Chet), one with Gerry playing the piano. The fourth CD has a great session with Lee Konitz as a fifth, who was definitely on the same page as these guys. It makes me wish there were more of this amazing interplay on record. The second half of the CD is a tentette session on nearly the same level. Unlike previous box sets, this doesn't include the 1957 reunion or any of the album done with Annie Ross, which is too bad, since it's out of print. Still, nearly every moment of the groups on these CDS is gold and well worth owning. I only wish there were more ...

Arthur Berger should be better known.......2000-03-21

This is one of the major recordings of the music of the unusually fine composer Arthur Berger. Being one of CRI's American Masters series it is a rerelease of music from many performers over a long period. Despite some of the accoustical drawbacks of the recording of the Serenade (it is however a very good performance) this is a very fine recording. The Chamber music for 13 Players is conducted magnificantly by Gunther Schuler.

Along with "An Arthur Berger Retrospective" on New World this is a very good introduction to a warm, generous and fasatinating composer.
