"50 Golden Hymns Instrumental Collection" (11/07/2005) Gospel Various Artists, New DayThis three-disc set includes instrumental versions of well-known hymns like "Amazing Grace," "The Lord's My Shepherd," "What a Friend We Have in Jesus," and "How Great Thou Art." The arrangements range from sweeping, full-orchestra renditions to solo piano -- a gentle piano version of "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing" is a highlight. There are few rather stilted contemporary instrumentals -- the badly programmed percussion in "Beneath the Cross of Jesus" is a distraction. But for the most part, 50 Golden Hymns is workable as background music. ~ Johnny Loftus

"Rewind That" (03/28/2006) Jazz General Scott, Christian (Jazz), ConcordPersonnel: Christian Scott (trumpet); Christian Scott ; Donald Harrison (alto saxophone); Walter Smith III (tenor saxophone); Zaccai Curtis (Fender Rhodes piano, Wurlitzer organ); Zaccai Curtis (Fender Rhodes piano); Luques Curtis (acoustic bass); Matt Stevens (guitar); Thomas Pridgen (drums). Audio Mixer: Ron Davis. Recording information: Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, CA (02/09/2005-02/11/2005). The young New Orleans trumpeter Christian Scott combines jazz and hip-hop to smoothly sophisticated effect on this sophomore, Grammy-nominated 2006 set. His accomplished solos are underpinned by a supple, sympathetic band that conveys late-1960s Miles Davis in its determinedly after-hours feel. The smooth jazz tendencies hinted at on "So What" are undercut by the spare colorations of the title track and the tense undertones of "Suicide," while on "Paradise Found," Scott and ensemble show that they're also capable of a finely understated lyricism.

"The Original Guitar Hero" (09/24/2002) Jazz Instrument Christian, Charlie, Legacy RecordingsThis is a selection from the 4-CD box THE GENIUS OF THE ELECTRIC GUITAR. Personnel: Charlie Christian (guitar); George Auld (tenor saxophone); Cootie Williams (trumpet); Benny Goodman (clarinet); Lionel Hampton (vibraphone); Count Basie, Fletcher Henderson, Johnny Guarnieri, Dudley Brooks (piano); Artie Bernstein (bass); Nick Fatool, Jo Jones, Harry Jaeger (drums). Producer: John Hammond. Compilation producers: Michael Brooks, Michael Cuscuna. Recorded in 1939-1940. Includes liner notes by Les Paul and Brad Tolinski. All tracks have been digitally remastered. Personnel: Charlie Christian (electric guitar); Benny Goodman (clarinet); Georgie Auld (tenor saxophone); Cootie Williams (trumpet); Count Basie, Dudley Brooks, Fletcher Henderson, Johnny Guarnieri (piano); Lionel Hampton (vibraphone); Harry Jaeger, Jo Jones , Nick Fatool (drums). Liner Note Authors: Derek Trucks; Duke Robillard; Brad Tolinski; Herb Ellis; Jimmie Vaughan; Joe Satriani; Les Paul; Russell Malone; Tal Farlow; B.B. King; Vernon Reid; Barney Kessel; Walter Becker; Warren Haynes; Bill Frisell; John Scofield; Brian Setzer. Recording information: Word Studios, NY (10/02/1939-11/07/1940). This eight-track sampler from Columbia's The Genius of the Electric Guitar box set is a fairly ill-advised promotional gimmick that offers a slice of the box to people who may be unsure of its overall worth. It is far from a definitive sampler, though, and as such is a waste of money, because those who are convinced to buy the box will have paid an extra ten bucks, while those who decide that the sampler stands on its own will be deprived of many of Christian's essential performances. If you're a big Christian fan, buy the box; otherwise, the original (and still-available) Genius of the Electric Guitar is still the best way to go. ~ Jim Smith This eight-track sampler from Columbia's The Genius of the Electric Guitar box set offers a slice of the box to people who may be unsure of its overall worth.

"After Hours" (05/09/2000) Jazz Instrument Christian, Charlie, Original Jazz Classics/Dizzy Gillespie. Personnel includes: Charlie Christian (guitar); Dizzy Gillespie (trumpet); Rudy Williams (alto saxophone); Don Byas, Kermit Scott (tenor saxophone); Joe Guy, Hot Lips Page, Victor Coulson (trumpet); Thelonious Monk, Al Tinney, Ken Kersey (piano); Nick Fenton, Ed Paul (bass); Kenny Clarke, Tom Miller (drums). Recorded live at Minton's Playhouse and Clark Monroe's Uptown House, New York, New York in May 1941. Originally released on Esoteric (548). Includes liner notes by Leonard Feather. Digitally remastered by Kirk Felton (2000, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California). Personnel: Charlie Christian (guitar); Rudy Williams (alto saxophone); Don Byas, Kermit Scott (tenor saxophone); Dizzy Gillespie, Hot Lips Page, Joe Guy (trumpet); Al Tinney, Thelonious Monk (piano); Kenny Clarke, Tom Miller (drums). Audio Remasterer: Kirk Felton. Liner Note Author: Leonard Feather. Recording information: Clark Monroe's Uptown House, New York, NY (05/06/1941-05/12/1947); Minton's Playhouse, New York, NY (05/06/1941-05/12/1947). AFTER HOURS is an excellent live document of the early roots of bebop, capturing this exciting music in the process of being built by its pioneering architects. Recorded live in New York City at jam sessions at Minton's Playhouse and Monroe's Uptown House in 1941, these tapes feature young modernists Charlie Christian, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk, Kenny Clarke, and Don Byas as they pushed the structural materials of swing toward something new and intense. Beyond the historical significance of these sessions, however, the music is simply fabulous. There are revisions of "Stardust" and "Stompin' at the Savoy, " but the tunes are mainly blues-based improvisations, with plenty of syncopated play and stretched-out soloing from all involved. Christian's guitar takes center stage--his fluid, fleet-fingered style and mellow amplified tone have become such a stock part of jazz guitar, it is hard to remember that he almost single-handedly wrote the book. Though Gillespie gets double-billing on this set, he only appears on four of the nine tunes, but one can hear early hints of the advanced technical style that would explode in his work with Charlie Parker in the later '40s. This music is truly classic.

"The Immortal Charlie Christian [Columbia]" (09/30/1992) Jazz Instrument Christian, Charlie, Legacy RecordingsPersonnel: Charlie Christian (guitar); Don Byas (tenor saxophone); Dizzy Gillespie, Joe Guy (trumpet); Thelonious Monk, Kenny Kersey (piano); Nixk Finton (bass); Kenny Clarke (drums). Recorded live at Minton's, New York, New York in May 1941. Personnel: Charlie Christian (guitar); Don Byas (tenor saxophone); Dizzy Gillespie, Joe Guy (trumpet); Ken Kersey, Thelonious Monk (piano); Kenny Clarke (drums). Liner Note Author: Leonard Feather. Recording information: Minton's in Harlem (05/1941). Aside from the name being misspelled on front and back cover, guitarist Charlie (not Charley) Christian was at the forefront of the bebop revolution. These ten tracks show why, and also gives rise to the notion of Christian being the first to wield an amplified electric guitar. The CD has a nice range of bop classics, three written by co-conspirator Dizzy Gillespie, two originals of Christian's, a lone standard, and a tribute to Jack Kerouac. This collection represents not only a smidgen of what Christian did before his career was tragically cut short, but opens a window into his grand contributions to jazz. Though only an appetizer and a bit flawed, it is tasty. ~ Michael G. Nastos

"djTrio [Digipak]" (04/13/2004) Jazz Instrument Marclay, Christian, AsphodelLiner Note Author: Christian Marclay. Recording information: Arts At Brad College; Electroluxe Festival, Tonic; Pompidou Center; Sculpture Garden's Ring Auditorium; The Andy Warhol Museum; The Detroit Institute Of Arts; The Hirshhorn Museum; The Richard B. Fisher Center For The Performing; Tonic's Subtonic PhOnOmena. Editors: Christian Marclay; DJ Olive. As close as Christian Marclay has ever come to conventional DJ mixing -- which is to say, not very close at all -- djTrio collects seven live performances by Marclay's ever-shifting collective of turntable masters, including Toshio Kajiwara, Erik M, DJ Olive, and Marina Rosenfeld. This is not traditional turntablism in that the beat is never the point. Similarly, the traditional structure of soundclash-style records, where each DJ takes turns soloing while the others provide a steady beat backdrop, is out the window: this is more like three DJs soloing on top of each other. However, it's not as chaotic and difficult to absorb as many of Marclay's solo performances, because although Marclay's extreme noise-for-noise-sake aesthetic prevails, his cohorts are at least partially rooted in traditional turntablism, which provides just enough familiarity for the listener to throw Marclay's sound art into sharp relief. Relatively becalmed pieces like "New York, August 21, 2003" aren't really that far removed from the likes of DJ Shadow, making djTrio a less threatening introduction to Christian Marclay's musical world than many of his solo recordings. ~ Stewart Mason

Audio Mixer: Jeffrey Chestek. Recording information: Tonic, New York, NY. Photographer: Michael Didonna. One of the leading jazz bassists of the 1990s and 2000s, Christian McBride is known for his formidable technique, his infallible chemistry with other players, and his restless sense of experimentation. The three-disc set LIVE AT TONIC is an impressive demonstration of these qualities. Recorded over two nights at New York City's avant music nightclub Tonic, LIVE finds McBride playing with a killer backing band and being joined by some of the hottest musicians on the scene, including pianist Jason Moran, guitarist Charlie Hunter, and turntablist DJ Logic. This is a hefty dose of compelling, joyful contemporary jazz.

"Reminiscing" (08/28/2001) Jazz Instrument Jodie Christian Trio, DelmarkPersonnel: Jodie Christian (piano); Dennis Carroll (bass); Tony Walton (drums). Recorded at Riverside Studio, Chicago, Illisnois on July 11-12, 2000. Includes liner notes by Jodie Christian. Personnel: Jodie Christian (piano); Tony Walton (drums). Liner Note Author: Jodie Christian. Recording information: Riverside Studio, Chicago, IL. Photographer: Jodie Christian. Reminiscing is an appropriate title for this 2000 session, which finds Jodie Christian doing exactly that -- reminiscing and looking back on his long career in music. Born in 1932, the Chicago-based pianist was in his late sixties when he recorded this hard bop/post-bop CD; the songs he selects are ones that meant a lot to him along the way. And in the liner notes, Christian explains why particular songs are important to him. He says that George & Ira Gershwin's "Embraceable You" was the first standard that he ever learned, and that Antonio Carlos Jobim's "How Insensitive" became a part of his repertoire after he heard fellow pianist Ahmad Jamal playing the Brazilian gem. "Morning Star" is a song that Christian learned from vibist Emmanuel Cranshaw, while "Love Walked In" and "It's Good to Have You Near" are songs that he discovered on Andre Previn's Right Is the Rain LP. It's important to stress that even though Christian (who is joined by bassist Dennis Carroll and drummer Tony Walton) acknowledges various musicians that he admired along the way, he never goes out of his way to emulate any of them. The pianist always sounds like his own man, which means that he doesn't play "How Insensitive" exactly like Jamal or "Love Walked In" exactly like Previn. Christian's interpretation of "How Insensitive," in fact, is quite unusual -- a melancholy standard that is usually played at a slow or medium tempo becomes fast and exuberant in Christian's swinging hands. Reminiscing is a musical autobiography that the Chicagoan can easily be proud of. ~ Alex Henderson
