Art Tatum BEST OF THE COMPLETE PABLO GROUP MASTERPIECES Pablo 1954, 55, 56 / 2003 Excellent notes by Scott Yanow. During the last three years of his life, Art Tatum was extensively recorded by producer Norman Granz for his Clef and Verve labels, including 125 solo performances contained in the seven-CD Complete Pablo Solo Masterpieces (Pablo 4404). Granz knew that Tatum also excelled when teamed with stimulating players, so 80 selections were recorded with all-star groups and collected in the six-CD Complete Pablo Group Masterpieces (Pablo 4401). It is from the latter that the dozen selections on this "best of" set are drawn.

Ike Quebec BLUE & SENTIMENTAL Ike Quebec(tenor sax), Grant Green(guitar), Paul Chambers(bass), Philly Joe Jones(drums), Sam Jones(bass), Louis Hayes(drums) Blue Note 1961 / 2007 (Rudy Van Gelder Edition) Notes: Over the years Blue Note has developed a well-deserved reputation as a label which continually fosters new talent. It has not, as of 1962, slackened its activity in this direction. Newcomers Freddie Hubbard, Grant Green, and Stanley Turrentine are testimony to this. ☺ Hard to think these guys were once 'newcomers'.

Modern Jazz Quartet DEDICATED TO CONNIE Atlantic Records 2CD Set 1960 / 1995 Notes: Last December our friend and drummer of 40 years, Connie Kay, passed away. In an effort to re-live some of the marvelous moments we had been fortunate to share with him, I began going through some of our concert tapes recorded all over the world during our long career. In doing so I stumbled upon this 1960 Live Recording that we made in Slovenia. In my opinion, never before or since has the Modern Jazz Quartet played better, whether on stage or in the recording studio. -- John Lewis, February, 1995

Various Artists THE YOUNG LIONS Vee Jay / Suite Beat Records 1960 / 1986 Excellent notes by Cannonball Adderley, where he blasts everyone from wealthy teenage rockers, to Dick Clark and country music performers. He calls it the "Glorification of Mediocrity". I call it "firing for effect". Notes: "Modern Jazz obviously cannot and will not stand still. Modern Jazz traditionalists must realize that the music of Bird is only a logical step wise development of that which had gone on before. Conversely, the avant-garde cannot expect basic stylistic changes to develop among mature players through artificial stimuli; for the hysterical cry for change tends to give sanctuary to charlatans." ---- Julian "Cannonball" Adderley All written in 1960.

His grasp of harmony and instrumental voicing is more advanced than anybody else's in the entire range of Jazz, and the reason why many modern fans are unable to accept him is not that they are too modern for Duke, but that Duke is too modern for them."
