Frankfurt, 1952 [European Import]

Search: This Is Always
by: J.a.T.P.

Release Date November 14, 2006

I wish I was there (well...if only I was born half a century earlier).

Although all contributors are excellent, Lester Young (the one and only President) on tenor sax and Roy Eldridge on trumpet steal the honours on heated jams of "How high the moon", "Undecided" and "Dre's Blues", but on the ballad medley Flip Phillips scores an unexpected point with his passionate tenor sax interpretation of "Deep Purple".
Of course, this is not to say that Eldridge's stint on Carmichael's good old "Rockin' chair" is a throwaway... It is anything but, and the same goes for Young's brilliant analysis of "I cover the waterfront" or Hank Jones' subtle take on "This is Always" .

Echoes of My Life [European Import]

Search: This Is Always
by: Mabel Mercer

Release Date September 16, 2004
If you like songs that have something to say; If you like a voice with character; If you enjoy moody, relaxing music then this cd is for you. If you enjoy Bessie Smith and Billie Holiday, and you haven't discovered Mabel Mercer then you are in for a treat. While most singers like to include 'Send in the clowns' few are able to give it the poignancy that Mabel does, yet other songs bring a real smile to the listener, especially 'Days gone by.' The arrangements are smooth without being bland, and allow Mabel's voice to really shine.
