Foundations: The Keith Jarrett Anthology
by
From Amazon.com:
"This two-CD collection runs the gamut of Keith Jarrett's late-1960s to mid-1970s work, beginning with an unissued 'Smoke Gets in Your Eyes' with Jim Pepper and closing some two hours later with his gusting 'Pardon My Rags' from the 1975 Atlantic record El Juicio. The first CD is filled with tracks featuring Jarrett alongside Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, the esteemed rock-jazz crossover sensation Charles Lloyd and his quartet, and vibist Gary Burton. When the second disc kicks off, it's largely Jarrett with his 1970s U.S. quartet--comprised of tenor saxophonist Dewey Redman, bassist Charlie Haden, and drummer Paul Motian. Overall, the collection is a solid demonstration of Jarrett's early works, showing its title's aptness." - Andrew Bartlett
Now He Sings, Now He Sobs
by
From Amazon.com:
"This adventurous yet lyrical trio LP was Chick Corea's career breakthrough album, establishing him as a significant pianist and composer. Over three days in March 1968, Corea recorded with Miroslav Vitous and Haynes (they have since reunited many times over past 34 years) and produced a total of 13 great performances only five of which were used on the original albums. The material ranged from soon-to-be Corea classics like 'Matrix' and 'Windows' to extended improvised pieces like the title tune to creative interpretations of Monk's 'Pannonica' and 'My One And Only Love'."
La Scala
by
From the CD jacket a story from Keith Jarrett:
"...I thanked him, but there was no proper way to say thank you for reinforcing the fragile (and at time, distant) knowledge that music is in the making of the music. The heart is where the music is."
Piano Rags
by
From the Nonesuch Records website:
"Joshua Rifkin's Nonesuch recordings of the Joplin rags in the early 1970s ignited a national passion for ragtime jazz and, wrote New York magazine, 'created, almost alone, the Scott Joplin revival.' The jaunty syncopations and lively melodies of the genre shine through on favorites like 'Maple Leaf Rag' and 'The Entertainer.'"
Running Wild (1921-1926)
by
From Amazon.com:
"Most famous for penning the era-defining song, 'The Charleston,' Johnson was an early innovator of jazz piano. This album collects vital material from the early stages of his distinguished career."
The First Day
by
From 1000recordings.com:
"What sets Ammons and Lewis apart is their shared insistence that there's more going on than just dazzling look-how-fast-the-left-hand-moves demonstrations. The First Day has the expected bells and whistles—the wildcatting lines, irreverent shout choruses, and slipping and sliding mayhem that spans the length of the keyboard. But it's also got some blues reflection in it, and moments of poignancy that are precious now, considering how showbiz-sensational boogie-woogie soon became."
Classic Early Solos (1934-1937)
by
From Amazon.com:
"Art Tatum was simply a marvel at the piano keyboard, a whirlwind of creative energy who could switch suddenly from a lilting swing to runs of such speed they might levitate the piano. This CD collects all his Decca recordings from the 1930s, 16 tracks from 1934, including alternate versions of three pieces, and four from 1937. Tatum was both synthesis and extension of the great pianists who had preceded him, including elements of stride that would suggest James P. Johnson, Fats Waller, and Duke Ellington, but his greatest influence was unquestionably Earl Hines." - Stuart Broomer

Contents: "Tea for two (take 5) (3:28); Tea for two (take 6) (4:13); Tea for two (take 10) (3:47) / Vincent Youmans, Irving Caesar -- Hallelujah / Leo Robin, Clifford Grey, Vincent Youmans (2:59) -- Parisian thoroughfare (2:28); Oblivion (2:28); Dusk in Sandi (2:13) ; Hallucinations (2:25); The fruit (3:17) / Bud Powell -- A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square / Eric Maschwitz, Manning Sherwin, Jack Strachey (3:41) -- Just one of those things / Cole Porter (3:50) -- The last time I saw Paris / Jerome Kern, Oscar Hammerstein II (3:16)."
The London House Sessions
by
From cduniverse.com:
"Oscar Peterson's week-long engagement at Chicago's London House was initially partially released as four LPs: The Trio, The Sound of the Trio, Put On a Happy Face and Something Warm. This five-CD set greatly expands upon the program, reissuing the four albums and 30 previously unissued selections. Peterson, bassist Ray Brown and drummer Ed Thigpen worked together quite well, with O.P. easily the dominant force, but this very extensive set is mostly for Peterson completists and his greatest fans, because a certain sameness pervades the music after awhile." - Scott Yanow
Waltz for Debby
by
From Amazon.com:
"...Very little in the annals of piano-trio jazz ever reached the clarity of execution that Evans made his own with the recordings from this single date. With bassist Scott LaFaro and drummer Paul Motian, Evans reached a rapport that sounded whisper-intimate, rolling into gentle cascades and then rhythmically pouncing juts. On the keys, Evans sounds at once completely walled-off and nakedly open as he takes on 'My Foolish Heart' and the title melody. The chords are voiced ever so oddly, as are the bass and drums. Coming as it did several months in the wake of the successful first episode in Evans's Vanguard, Waltz for Debby just made it all the more obvious what a wonder the world had in this trio and its leader." - Andrew Bartlett
Nefertiti, the Beautiful One Has Come: Live at the Cafe Monmartre, 1962
by
From cduniverse.com:
"This double-LP is the only recording that exists of Cecil Taylor and his group (other than two songs on the bootleg Ingo label) during 1962-1965. Taylor's then-new altoist Jimmy Lyons (who occasionally hints at Charlie Parker) and the first truly 'free' drummer Sunny Murray join the avant-garde pianist in some stunning trio performances recorded live at the Cafe Montmartre in Copenhagen. With the exception of an interesting version of 'What's New' (which finds Lyons showing off his roots), the music is comprised entirely of Taylor originals and is atonal and full of power." - Scott Yanow
Maiden Voyage
by
From Amazon.com:
"In the mid-'60s, a distinctive postbop style evolved among the younger musicians associated with Blue Note, a new synthesis that managed to blend the cool spaciousness of Miles Davis's modal period, some of the fire of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, and touches of the avant-garde's group interaction. Maiden Voyage is a masterpiece of the school, with Hancock's enduring compositions like 'Maiden Voyage' and 'Dolphin Dance' mingling creative tension and calm repose with strong melodies and airy, suspended harmonies that give form to his evocative sea imagery..." - Stuart Broomer

From the catalog:

Soulima Stravinsky Plays Igor Stravinsky
by
From Amazon.com:
"The late Soulima Stravinsky, son of Igor, was a pianist and composer of relatively minor reputation. So I was totally unprepared for his performance of the 'Three Movements' from Petrouchka, one of our century's great virtuoso showpieces for piano. There are wrong notes in this live performance, as there always are, but Soulima still gives a really thrilling performance of the piece, with great drama and tigerish dynamic surges. Very exciting stuff. He also plays his father's major piano works, a few minor pieces, and some transcriptions of his own with obvious insight and affection..." - Leslie Gerber

The 6 French Suites: BWV 812-BWV 817 - J.S. Bach
by
Staff Summary:
Gould uses the influence of France on German culture in Bach's time to view the works of Bach from Bach's eyes. He ignores Bach's articulations and disposes of the pieces' essential character to present (according to one critic) "an x-ray of the music."
The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book II - Johann Sebastian Bach
by
From the catalog:
"Recorded June 1951 through March 1954, in Madame Landowska's home in Lakeville, Conn."

by
From the catalog:
"6 sound discs (ca. 365 min.) : digital, stereo"
Sämtliche Klaviersonaten = Intégrale des Sonates pour Piano = The Complete Piano sonatas - Ludwig van Beethoven
by
From Amazon.com:
"Dating from 1932-35, this was the first complete cycle of Beethoven's piano sonatas ever recorded. It has remained available almost continuously since it was first issued, a testimonial to the staying power of these legendary performances. Other pianists may have approached Beethoven with more secure technique, and there are certainly other conceptions of this music that deserve our attention. But the intellectual comprehension and--especially!--the intense emotional projection of Artur Schnabel's performances will remain treasures as long as listeners love Beethoven's music..." - Leslie Gerber
Pictures at an Exhibition by Mussorgsky
by
Review from Amazon :
"Kissin gives us Horowitz's brilliance, without the nervous affectations and missed notes, and Rubinstein's healthy athleticism and grandeur, without the occasional inattention to detail. In a performance such as this, Kissin convinces us that he is at once the Horowitz and the Rubinstein of our era--and perhaps superior to either."
William Kapell Rediscovered: The Australian Broadcasts
by
Producer's Note:
"We now hear for the very first time, magical Kapell performances of Chopin's Barcarolle, Debussy's Suite bergamasque and God Save the Queen. Also included is his demonic rendition of Prokofiev's Piano Sonata No. 7...The source discs are more than fifty years old."

The Fats Domino Jukebox: 20 Greatest Hits
by
From allmusic.com:
"Released in conjunction in 2002 with the four-disc box set Walking to New Orleans, as well as three other titles in EMI/Capitol's Crescent City Soul series, The Fats Domino Jukebox: 20 Greatest Hits the Way You Originally Heard Them becomes the definitive single-disc Fats collection on the market nearly by default -- it's remastered, it's the one in print, and it has a flawless selection of songs." - Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Ultimate Hits Collection
by
From Amazon.com:
"This double CD collects not only Brother Ray's best-known '50s and '60s singles, but some choice semi-obscurities (the 1953 jump blues 'Mess Around,' his 1959 cover of Louis Jordan's 'Don't Let the Sun Catch You Cryin' ') that earn their places next to 'What'd I Say' and 'I Can't Stop Loving You.' The man's originality and infectious feeling bleed through on each of these 36 tracks, whether he's transforming 'One Mint Julep' or 'America the Beautiful' or collaborating (separately) with Willie Nelson and Chaka Khan." - Rickey Wright
The Specialty Sessions
by
From allmusic.com:
"Dig it: a collection of all 73 songs that Little Richard cut for Specialty Records from 1955 through 1959, including early working versions of hits including 'Long Tall Sally' and 'Slippin' and Slidin',' may seem like overkill to the casual listener, but if you're thinking of buying this three-CD box, chances are you're not a casual listener. And if you're not thinking about it, then you should be. This set covers only four years in Little Richard's career, but manages to sum up virtually everything you need to know about him..." - Bruce Eder
Greatest Hits
by
From cduniverse.com:
"This collection, remastered for SACD, covers the Zombies' short and tasteful career, spanning their 1964-1967 years for Decca Records, and their single album, the classic Odessey & Oracle, for Epic Records in 1968. Two versions of 'She's Not There' are included here, one the so-called 'stereo underdub' version that lacks the snappy drum overdub that gives the superior single version its crisp, edgy feel. There are also two mixes of 'Time of the Season,' the familiar version and an alternate mix that features a little more organ in the verse sections." - Steve Leggett

Anthology, 1965-1972
by
From cduniverse.com:
"One of Rhino's exemplary two-disc compilations produced during the early '90s, featuring remastered sound, copious liner notes and more than enough rarities, ANTHOLOGY 1965-'72 is probably the best available (Young) Rascals anthology. All of the hits are here, of course--'Good Lovin',' 'How Can I Be Sure,' 'Groovin',' etc.--but this collection also gathers goodies like early rave-up R&B covers, unappreciated album tracks and unsuccessful but often fascinating singles from the group's later years, when they'd added jazz and psychedelia to their original blue-eyed soul sound. At 44 tracks, these two discs are jam-packed, and both fans and newcomers will be pleased."
Eli and the Thirteenth Confession
by
"Nyro peaked early, and Eli and the Thirteenth Confession, just her second album, remains her best. It's not only because it contains the original versions of no less than three songs that were big hits for other artists: 'Sweet Blindness' (covered by the 5th Dimension), 'Stoned Soul Picnic' (also covered by the 5th Dimension), and 'Eli's Comin' ' (done by Three Dog Night). It's not even just because those three songs are so outstanding. It's because the album as a whole is so outstanding, with its invigorating blend of blue-eyed soul, New York pop, and early confessional singer/songwriting." - Richie Unterberger
Tapestry
by
From Amazon.com:
"Carole King was famous as a writer of girl-group hits in the '60s. In 1971, she became more famous. That's the year Tapestry became one of the biggest-selling LPs of all time. It's easy to hear why--the music is loose, earthy, L.A. session-pop. King is casual, intimate, and tough; she covers all the emotional ground of the post-liberated woman with ease. She brings adult nuance to 'Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?' and comes up with hits ('It's Too Late,' 'I Feel the Earth Move') whose white-soul realism and maturity put pop hits to shame." - Steve Tignor
Piano Man
by
From the catalog:
Contents: "Travelin' prayer (4:10) -- Piano man (5:37) -- Ain't no crime (3:20) -- You're my home (3:14) -- The Ballad of Billy the Kid (5:35) -- Worse comes to worst (3:28) -- Stop in Nevada (3:40) -- If I only had the words (to tell you) (3:35) -- Somewhere along the line (3:17) -- Captain Jack (6:55)"
Little Earthquakes
by
From Amazon.com:
"Emotionally and musically intense, Little Earthquakes shows that the piano is as much a rock & roll instrument as the guitar. Tori Amos's debut...is at once listenable and challenging; she takes on every topic, from sex to gender to religion, in an uncompromising manner. Her music appears gentle at first, but this appearance is deceiving, as one quickly learns upon listening to the wrenching 'Crucify' or the almost violent 'Precious Things.' By the time the album gets around to 'Me and a Gun,' sung hauntingly by Amos without accompaniment from her piano, the juxtaposition of Amos' sweet voice and the emotional complexity of her lyrics is both familiar and shocking." - Genevieve Williams
The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner
by
From Amazon.com:
"Simultaneously challenging and accessible, The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner is a song cycle about death and dying, people, relationships, optimism, innocence--you name it... The production is lush and ornate, with strings and horns embellishing Folds's usual quota of to-die-for hooks (which he seems to dash off as effortlessly as postcards from the beach). An obvious point of reference is Pet Sounds, but Ben Folds Five widen their scope to also include hints of Steely Dan, Pink Floyd, and even Queen, whose influence is front and center on the bombastic opener 'Narcolepsy,' a virtual homage to 'Bohemian Rhapsody.'" - David Menconi
The Jerry Lee Lewis Anthology: All Killer No Filler!
by
From Amazon.com:
"Elvis may have been the King, but there's no doubt who reigned as the dark prince of rock & roll. Jerry Lee Lewis--a.k.a. the Killer--burst on the scene in 1957, taking no prisoners with his (as it was called) 'pumping' piano and his lust-laden style on such Sun Records classics as 'Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On,' 'Breathless,' and 'Great Balls of Fire.' This 42-track double CD collection includes all of them, but also features both midperiod Lewis (early '60s tracks such as 'Money'), and, most significantly, his latter hits as a country star in the late '60s and '70s, such as 'What Made Milwaukee Famous,;' 'She Even Woke Me Up (To Say Goodbye),' '39 and Holding,' and the self-explanatory 'Meat Man.'" - Billy Altman

Bruce Hornsby and the Range: A Night on the Town includes the songs 'The Way It Is,' 'The Valley Road,' 'Across the River,' 'The End of the Innocence,' 'Barren Ground,' and more." - Mark Deming, Rovi All Movie Guide

Horowitz in Moscow
by
From Amazon.com:
"Along with the extramusical significance of the aged Horowitz's return to his erstwhile homeland, there's plenty here for seekers of the essential Horowitz. Perhaps his finest Mozart recording, the C-major Sonata, gets a forward-moving reading distinguished by an Andante Cantabile movement that sings the music with the tonal splendor and command of line characteristic of the beloved bel canto singers of the past whom Horowitz looked to as musical models. The program's remainder is as formidable, and only a curmudgeon could fail to smile with delight at a favorite Horowitz encore, Rachmaninoff's Polka de W.R." - Dan Davis
The Works for Piano. 7
by
From moderecords.com:
"Chess Pieces is from 1944, an emotional and creative year for Cage; besides echoes of Satie, Chess Pieces contains prophetic touches of minimalism and has features in common with his monumental piano piece, Four Walls, from the same year. A renowned Cage interpreter, Ms. Tan worked closely with the composer from 1981 to 1992. Cage was particularly appreciative of her performances of his works for the prepared piano. This is Ms. Tan's long-awaited recording of Cage's prepared piano masterpiece, the Sonatas and Interludes of 1946-48. Also included is the first recording of the only other musical score from 'The Imagery of Chess' show, neo-classical composer Vittorio Rieti's Chess Serenade."

As the performance reaches its climax, the twenty-one movements of Schumann's 'Carnaval' are divided between nineteen pianists for the second time since the 1921 [Carnegie] Hall benefit concert staged for Moritz Moskowski."

Ô-Genio Ray Charles, 1963: Live in Brazil
by
From Amazon.com:
"Ô Genio: Live in Brazil 1963 is a fairly astonishing document, and an invaluable addition to the catalog of one the great artists of the 20th Century. Here's Ray Charles, 'Ô Genio' ('The Genius' in Portuguese), 32 years old and in his absolute prime, a few years after he essentially 'invented' soul music with his classic Atlantic Records recordings and just a year after he'd transformed popular music again with Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music. The DVD finds Charles and his orchestra performing two full sets in Sao Paulo; both are in black and white and contain many of the same songs..." - Sam Graham

Elton John Live in Barcelona
by
From Amazon.com:
"Live in Barcelona captures the hectic energy of Elton John's 1992 world tour but drops several of the highlights, including a rare live performance of his classic album cut 'All the Girls Love Alice.'... Visually, this was also an historic show: Gianni Versace designed the stage set and Elton's costumes. While not obvious to the viewer, Versace's contribution gets some play in the accompanying 50-minute documentary about John's The One album, videos, and subsequent tour; it includes interviews with Elton, lyricist Bernie Taupin, guitarist Davey Johnstone, and Versace himself, along with rare rehearsal footage." - Kevin Filipski
