CD Reviews

A must for jazz education.

Carolyn E. Spilly | Hebron, IN United States | 03/09/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Eddie Jefferson believed that the addition of words in keeping with the spirit of the modern jazz instrumental is an important way of making jazz readily understood. For the vocalese fan, it does not get any better that this CD. He takes on instrumentals from Charlie Parker, Cannonball Adderly, Dizzy Gillespie and Junior Mance that would help even a novice jazz fan understand the depth of this fine music.
The only sad thing is because his life was cut short, we are limited to only a few CD gems from this master vocalist."

The best A Train

Jeff Rude | Lille, France | 07/15/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"If you are a true lover of jazz music and you like to listen to something that is off the beaten track from the usual music of the "jazz greats" then this CD is the one for you. THE BEST version of A Train I have ever heard."
