The Way Up represents, in the words of guitarist Pat Metheny himself, "our most ambitious undertaking ever as a group"-a single, brilliant 68-minute piece composed by Metheny and his collaborator of 28 years, Lyle Mays. Metheny has likened the creation of The Way Up to making a film, and in some respects, the album feels like a vividly rendered journey, its moods shifting like scenes glimpsed from a fast-moving vehicle.

Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane is a 1961 album by Thelonious Monk issued on Jazzland Records, a subsidiary of Riverside Records. It consists of material recorded four years earlier when Monk worked extensively with John Coltrane, issued after Coltrane had become a leader and jazz star in his own right. The album was assembled by the label with material from three different sessions. The impetus for the album was the discovery of three usable studio tracks recorded by the Monk Quartet with Coltrane in July of 1957 at the beginning of the band's six-month residency at New York's legendary Five Spot club near Cooper Square.[4] To round out the release, producer Keepnews included two outtakes from the Monk's Music album recorded the previous month, and an additional outtake from Thelonious Himself recorded in April.[5] The latter selection, "Functional," is a solo piano piece by Monk. It was reissued in 2000 on Fantasy Records as part of its series for back catalogue using the JVC 20-bit K2 coding system. Because of the historical significance of this album it was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2007.

☆2014年重回搖滾初衷，為當代女性刻劃生命真實軌跡 2009年，美國另類搖滾音樂家多莉‧艾莫絲覺得自己的創作已經遇到瓶頸，想要重新尋找新的方向。因此，她暫時出走流行與搖滾樂圈，進入不同的音樂領域，嘗試創作音樂劇《輕輕公主》的詞與曲，並且把自己過去的歌曲重新以管弦樂配器並且錄音。 幾年後，吸收了不同養份的多莉‧艾莫絲推出個人第十四張錄音室專輯「不悔的潔蘿丁」，象徵她再度回到流行與另類搖滾音樂。而多莉‧艾莫絲的女兒也在「Promise」這首歌曲中兩人攜手合作。 多莉‧艾莫絲的音樂一向以性、宗教、女性主義和個人的經歷為創作起點，這張經過長時間醞釀的專輯除了探索不同風格與題材，也像是個人對於生活間大小事的觀察與描繪，特別是對於小女孩時期的童年記憶，以及德國在2013年指控美國國家安全局監控等事件。而視覺藝術，如：美國攝影家黛安‧阿布絲、法國畫家塞尚、英國畫家羅塞蒂、愛爾蘭肖像畫與插畫、歷史畫家麥克萊斯的作品也是多莉‧艾莫絲的創作靈感來源。

This readily available Bluebird CD gives one an excellent overview of the talents of trombonist/singer Jack Teagarden. "Mr. T." is featured with Eddie Condon on a pair of classic 1929 selections and also with Roger Wolfe Kahn's orchestra ("She's a Great Great Girl"), Ben Pollack, the Mound City Blue Blowers, Fats Waller, Benny Goodman, Paul Whiteman, the Three T's, the Metronome All-Stars, Louis Armstrong (the exciting "Jack-Armstrong Blues"), and with Bud Freeman, in addition to a version of "St. Louis Blues" with Teagarden's group in 1947. Quite a few of these performances are famous, and although this is not a "complete" set, the consistent high quality of these recordings makes this CD highly recommended to all.

Scott Yanow & Bruce Eder In the 1950s, Bobby Hackett's pretty tone was often utilized on mood music albums, most notably by Jackie Gleason , but he never lost his ability to play hot jazz, and in the fall of 1955 he was part of the Dixieland Jubilee presented by Frank Bull and Gene Norman at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles -- also featured on the program was Hackett's longtime colleague Jack Teagarden , who was in superb form at this point in his career. The results of that concert were so felicitous that Capitol Records OK'd the recording of Coast Concert , featuring Hackett leading an octet that included Teagarden on trombone and vocals, and also old friends Abe Lincoln on trombone and Matty Matlock on clarinet. Capitol was concerned with sales and had the group stick to familiar standards, such as "I Want a Big Butter and Egg Man," "That's a Plenty," "Basin Street Blues" (beautifully sung by Teagarden ), and "Struttin' with Some Barbecue." Hackett's cornet is center stage on some beautiful solos, ranging from the ebullient brilliance of "Struttin' with Some Barbecue" to the subdued, gorgeous lyricism of "Basin Street Blues," the latter beautifully sung by Teagarden and offering two solos by Hackett and a gorgeous spot for Matlock 's clarinet, plus Don Owens ' elegantly understated pianism. The top-notch players really inspire each other with some heated ensembles and creative solo work, and the result is one of Hackett's finest sessions of the 1950s. It had no small effect on Teagarden 's career as well -- Capitol ended up doing a quartet of follow-up albums by the legendary trombonist/singer, cut between January 1956 and April of 1958, which included some of his finest late-career work. As of 2005, Coast Concert had not been re-released by itself on CD by Capitol, but those much wiser heads at Mosaic Records included it -- since it's as much a Teagarden effort as a Hackett session -- as part of The Complete Capitol Fifties Jack Teagarden Sessions . What's more, they slipped in one choice outtake, a killer rendition of "St. James Infirmary Blues" featuring Teagarden on vocals paired with Hackett's cornet.
