Shit me sideways thats how you play the piano

Allmusic Review : Recorded in a simple Standards is about as close as smooth jazz pianist David Benoit has come to the classic post-bop West Coast sound that's always been one of his primary inspirations. Benoit is simply not an adventurous soul as either a bandleader or a pianist, and so Standards consists mostly of familiar songs (John Lewis' "Django," Thelonious Monk's "Straight No Chaser," Bill Evans' "Waltz for Debby," Dave Brubeck's "Blue Rondo à la Turk") given safe, pretty performances that never come close to re-invention. It's simply not in Benoit's nature to take risks, but to a listener on the pianist's mellow wavelength, these performances are both technically excellent and completely heartfelt. The choice of a couple obscurities by Henry Mancini and Neal Hefti adds an idiosyncratic personal touch as well. Bold and audacious it may not be, but Standards is a low-key delight.

Don't talk about my Tom that way! By the way, I found an album that both Jack Sheldon and Chet Baker are both on playing together. It's called The forgotten album. I'll try and figure out how to get it to you. It's a fun album, you know Jack, he's a nut!

Wish all the old great musicians are still alive. Sigh.

Great lineup

Lou Donaldson (born November 1, 1926) is an American retired jazz alto saxophonist. He is best known for his soulful, bluesy approach to playing the alto saxophone, although in his formative years he was heavily influenced by Charlie Parker, as were many during the bebop era.

Very logical sax player. 6 years younger than bird, his lines make sense, and take no risks. He is rooted in the blues, greatly influenced by Bird and Sonny Stitt, while being a contemporary of them.

If only they had some chops. 😅

I'm way late catching up on my Howard Roberts. His playing on this is absolutely Amazing! In fact, All the players on this record are top shelf! I play blues, but I've listened to Wes Montgomery for 60 years and was introduced to Howard Roberts at a high school summer music camp 54 years ago, yet I could never find Howard Roberts Lps in my town. I bought his books on sight reading and studio etiquette...and followed his articles in Guitar Player Mag.. so nice to finally be able to hear these great albums here on KZbin! Excellent!

A CLASSIC !!!!!!!!

Thank you!

I Just Learned of this Artist, Sweet Excellent! Thanks for the Post!

Bud Powell... When I first listen to his play, I was 16yrs old and I'm 57 now. He's been the only pianist who makes me cry. I really don't know why I cry. but he always does. Art Tatum is so perfect and obviously more accurate than Bud but I've never "cry" listening Tatum's play. But Bud...I can not listen to his play without tears. This is very very special feeling. He must have been a man with such a "pure soul". I can not think of any other reason why I cry for his music. Bud Powell's soul forever.

Class !

1964!!! Still beautifully fresh⚡⚡⚡

B.Timmons so nice !

What a sad loss that Clifford died so young aged just 25 yrs old in 1956 in a car crash along with Pianist Richie Powell..

Thank you for uploading this great album. Their music lift up my exhausted body. Always appreciate the beauty of bop music.

Cooler than cool Master of his Art.

this track from dolphy is killing

Surprisingly tasty!

How can you NOT LOVE Wes Montgomery. I was born in 1955...I loved this album as a snotty nosed kid. I always loved Jazz and I always stopped and asked, "Dad...whose that on the BOX?" To which he'd scream from underneath his car..."Why that's Wes Montgomery son!!!" Life is good when your old man shares Jazz with his son. Ya dig? Here we are 60 years later. Still listening...to Wes. LOL!!!

"Recorded four months before his death and three days after what was thought to have been his final recording, this jam-session CD is notable not only as the last Zoot Sims record but the only one to team him with fellow tenor Scott Hamilton. Since Zoot was one of Hamilton’s idols, the Swedish concert was a happy affair. Joined by pianist Claes Crona, bassist Arne Wilhelmsson, and drummer Per Hulten, the two tenors battle it out (with mutual respect) on lengthy versions of such standards as “Gone With the Wind,” “Indiana,” “Sunday,” and “Just You, Just Me.” A historic encounter that lives up to expectations and shows that Zoot Sims never did decline.” - Scott Yanow/AllMusic.

I knew the voice, didn't know it was Chet Baker. Something to look further into!
