Review Louis Armstrong Plays W.C. Handy / Louis Armstrong:A wonderful meeting of two institutions of American music, this 1954 album was the finest recording of Louis Armstrong's later career, with the great trumpeter-singer turning to material that was very close to his roots. Both W. C. Handy and Armstrong had a complex relationship with the blues, an essential source for both Handy's popular songs and Armstrong's improvisational art, and these recordings touch on the heart of the matter. On "Yellow Dog Blues," a product of Handy's own early and chance encounter with the rural blues, there's a majesty that recalls Armstrong's early recordings with Bessie Smith. Armstrong is clearly inspired by the classic material and the chance to stretch out on record, and his regular band of the period joins in perfectly. Trombonist Trummy Young, clarinetist Barney Bigard, pianist Billy Kyle, and singer Velma Middleton contribute stellar solos and support, while bassist Arvell Shaw and drummer Barrett Deems do an exceptional job of keeping the slower tempos rock steady. This is a deeply moving and consummately executed performance. -Stuart Broomer.

Review Real Emotional / Curtis Stigers:Coming on the heels of recent albums You Inspire Me and I Think It's Going To Rain Today, Real Emotional sees jazz singer and tenor saxophonist Curtis Stigers follow the current vogue for re-interpretations of classic pop tunes. Starting with a sprightly version of Dylan's classic "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight," Stigers croons his way mellifluously through a host of tried and tested evergreens. There's a subtly subverted version of Stephin Merritt's "As You Turn to Go"; a surprisingly good take on Tom Waits' "San Diego Serenade"; revamps of Emmylou Harris's "I Don't Want to Talk About It Now," and Dan Zanes' "Night Owl," and emotive renditions of Paul Simon's "American Tune" and Randy Newman's heartfelt "Real Emotional Girl" (which gives the album its title). There's new material, too. Stiger compositions like "I Only Want to Be With You" and "A Woman Just Like You" carry a mellow, captivating vibe that may set Norah Jones fans a-flutter. Amiable and capable, this is Stigers on fine, populist form. -Danny McKenna.

Review Jazzmatazz Vol.2: the New Reality / Guru:By the time Gang Starr's rapper Guru created the "experimental fusion of hip-hop and jazz" he called Jazzmatazz back in 1993, the idea of blending the two African-American styles had been fairly well explored. But as the first wholly self-conscious genremixing, Jazzmatazz Volume I was at least a decent novelty record. In the two Years that followed, however, jazz rap-from Digable Planets to Buckshot Lefonque to the Roots-grew into a dominant strain of alternative hip-hop. The good news is that 1995's Jazzmatazz II acknowledges the changing times. Guru ups the ante by collecting artists from R&B (Chaka Khan, Mica Paris) and reggae (Ini Kamoze, Patra) in addition to jazz (Ramsey Lewis, Donald Byrd, Freddie Hubbard) and rap (Kool Keith, Big Shug). The concept broadens to bring together makers of all black music. At best, the songs reflect this more robust brew: "Watch What You Say," for instance, blends Khan's dynamic blue improvisational singing and Branford Marsalis's subdued saxophone phrases with Guru's rap and DJ Premier's unorthodox track of video game sound effects. The bad news, though, is that Volume II fails in precisely the same places Volume I did. First, Guru still raps with fine tone but little gift for either rhythm or rhyme. In a monotone he self- righteously calls himself "The Lifesaver" but offers only vague solutions like "deal with reality and try to keep focus" to innercity turmoil. [+]Second, except for Khan's vocals and perhaps Lewis' piano solo on "Respect the Architect," the style meshes never get a chance to rise out of the same tried hip-hop form. -Roni Sarig.
