PIANO

VA - Ultimate Jazz Piano Collection Volume 1 [2014] (10 x CDs)

Released in 2014 by German label The Intense Media (catalog no. 600144), Ultimate Jazz Piano Collection Volume 1 is a 10CD box set that assembles seventeen full albums from some of the most revered jazz pianists of the 20th century. It’s a budget-priced anthology with serious depth, offering over 10 hours of music that spans bebop, cool jazz, swing, and hard bop, all centered around the expressive power of the piano.

The set includes complete albums from legends like Bill Evans (Portrait in Jazz), Duke Ellington (The Duke Plays Ellington), Thelonious Monk (Piano Solo), Oscar Peterson (Tenderly), and Bud Powell (Bud Powell’s Moods). But it also digs deeper into the catalog, featuring rarer gems like Mary Lou Williams’ Plays in London, Phineas Newborn Jr.’s Fabulous Phineas, and Lennie Tristano’s self-titled LP, each showcasing unique stylistic approaches, from cerebral improvisation to bluesy swing.

What makes this set stand out is its inclusion of European rarities and live sessions, such as Jutta Hipp with Zoot Sims, Walter Davis Jr.’s Davis Cup, and Freddie Redd Quartet’s The Music from “The Connection”, a cult favorite among hard bop fans. Also featured are Ramsey Lewis Trio’s Down to Earth, Tommy Flanagan’s Overseas, and Sonny Clark’s Sonny’s Crib, rounding out the collection with soulful, groove-driven performances.

The mastering is clean and consistent, though sourced from public domain material, so fidelity varies slightly. Packaging is minimal, slimline jewel cases in a cardboard slipbox, with no liner notes or booklet. Still, the value is undeniable: 17 albums for the price of one, sequenced by artist and album to preserve the integrity of each recording.

For jazz lovers, this is a no-frills treasure trove, ideal for deep listening or archival exploration (B)

VA - Sunday at the Riverside, The Best of Jazz Piano [2024] (10 x CDs)

SUNDAY JAZZ 

JAZZ PIANO ELEGANCE

VA - Sunday at the Riverside, The Best of Jazz Piano [2024] (10 x CDs)

"Sunday at the Riverside" is more than just a 10-CD collection, it’s a journey through the soul of jazz piano. Released by Fermata, this compilation brings together some of the finest jazz pianists, creating an atmosphere that feels like a perfect Sunday afternoon by the water.

Jazz piano has always had a special magic. Jazz has always been about storytelling, emotion, and improvisation, and this compilation captures all of that beautifully. It can be bold and expressive, delicate and introspective, or effortlessly swinging. This collection captures all those moods, featuring legends like Thelonious Monk, Bill Evans, and Kenny Drew. From Monk’s playful unpredictability to Evans’ whisper-soft elegance, every track is a masterpiece of storytelling through sound.

The beauty of this compilation is in its variety. You’ll hear classics like Waltz for Debby, where Evans’ fluid phrasing makes time stand still, and Portrait in Jazz, showcasing his groundbreaking trio work. Monk’s compositions, full of angular phrasing and quirky harmonies, inject energy into the set, proving why he remains one of jazz’s most original voices.

But it’s not just about the classics; this collection also introduces listeners to fresh interpretations and hidden gems. Jazz is a genre that thrives on reinvention, and Sunday at the Riverside embraces that spirit by blending old favorites with new perspectives. The result is a compilation that feels both nostalgic and exciting, offering something for everyone.

What makes this collection truly special is how it flows effortlessly, much like a lazy river winding through a quiet town. The interplay between piano, bass, and drums creates a chamber music-like intimacy, making each performance feel personal. Whether you’re sipping coffee, reading a book, or simply watching the world go by, this compilation sets the perfect mood. It turns any Sunday afternoon into a timeless escape. So, sit back, let the notes wash over you, and enjoy the journey. (B)

VA - Jazz Piano History [2006] (20 x CDs)

SUNDAY JAZZ

PIANO

VA - Jazz Piano History [2006] (20 x CDs)

This magnificent 20CD box set is a warm, intimate journey through the evolution of jazz piano. "Jazz Piano History" is like a warm, inviting conversation with the past, a journey that captures the soulful evolution of American jazz piano. Released in 2006 on the Membrane label, this box set is a beautifully curated collection that brings together a range of styles from the playful syncopation of ragtime to the energetic, heartfelt expressions of stride and boogie-woogie.

What truly sets this collection apart is its abundance of rare recordings. Alongside well-known masterpieces by titans like Scott Joplin, you’ll also discover precious gems that you’re unlikely to hear anywhere else. Imagine diving into never-before-digitized live radio broadcasts, listening to alternate takes that capture spontaneous, real-time creative moments, and uncovering recordings that have been hidden away for decades. These rarities offer a unique and intimate glimpse into the live, unpredictable world of early jaz, a world where every note feels like a secret shared just with you.

The set isn’t just a rundown of famous jazz moments; it’s also a lovingly assembled archive that hints at the contributions of overlooked artists. Alongside the celebrated names, you’ll hear the distinctive sounds of musicians like Blind Leroy Garnett and Jimmy Blythe. Their artistry, though often less heralded, adds a delightful layer of diversity and depth to the overall narrative of the collection.

This is a wonderful survey of jazz piano in solo, trio, small and big band contexts. Jess Stacy's "Sing Sing Sing" with Benny Goodman at Carnegie Hall; Earl Hines' "Weather Bird" with Louis Armstrong; Bix Beiderbecke's "In a Mist", some truly historic performances.

Complementing the audio treasure trove are extensive booklets filled with engaging essays and historical insights, making it feel like you have a friendly guide walking you through jazz’s rich legacy. If you are curious about the roots of this dynamic genre, the “Jazz Piano History” box set warmly invites you to sit back, relax, and let the music tell its incredible story.

There’s always something new to uncover in the rich tapestry of this timeless art form. (B)
