best nocturne.......2006-07-09

I thought this was a great CD, especially Harlem Nocturne. I play piano and so this is by far the best rendition of that song I've ever heard. My father in 1990 thought this
was the best rend. he'd heard too-he grew up with Louis Armstrong playing music in his house in chicago in the 30's. The whole CD is easy and Great!

Cup of Kofi, Cream and Sugar.......2005-06-28

This is easy listening "jazz." Too close to Kenny G and Michael Feinstein for my tastes. It's played expertly, but the music never challenges, never takes you on a journey. It will offend no one, but frankly I don't even want this in the background when I'm dining. I'd sooner grab an old Tom Scott album. Many many find this soothing and relaxing, and I cannot argue with that. But if your taste runs toward Coltrane, or the Brecker Brothers, or Wynton Marsalis, you will find this cup of Kofi to be pretty weak.

Good jazz composition by an Achimotan from Ghana. .......2004-10-07

I first saw Kofi play on a TV show called Weekend rendezous sometime in 1991, supposedly a year after releasing this album.
The tracks I heard moved me very much and it took me a year to get the LP recorded on Tape. I later had the CD and played the track Lady Sits Alone in a nite club. The people who danced to it never believed a Ghanaian composed the song. All the tracks are catchy and especially Elmina and Harlem Nocturne's acoustic grand piano works are superb. The CD is a must buy............

harlem nocturne by Kofi.......2002-08-17

I am a 50 + music lover of all types of stuff. Although this cd has been out for years I doubt that many have heard it because it is a little obscure. While driving around southern california one day I heard this version of Harlem Nocturne on a local jazz station. It had to be the very best version I have ever heard. I could not get it out of my head so I ordered my own cd and relish bringing it over to my friends homes to play and say to them "listen to this, it will knock your socks off". This cd is a great gift idea for your music lover friends.

Terrific Smooth Jazz Album for Easy-Listening.......1998-06-19

Kofi provides a variety of keyboard sounds that are nicely blended with saks, brass, bass and percussion. This album provides a stimulating background for relaxing, or, for spinning on the CD-ROM while working at the computer.

The only reason that I had for not giving this collection a 5-star-rating was, that the vocals were a little on the lame side. That may just be my perception, however, since my taste runs pretty strictly towards instrumental jazz.

A piece of history.......2006-06-03

Many of the songs on this recording are not available in sheet music, and although the sound quality isn't "leading edge" it makes me feel as though I am listening to actual performers back in the 30's & 40's, with young and gifted singers like Frank Sinatra, Jo Stafford, and Mel Torme, as well as others who are nameless or unknown to me on this album, and a delight to listen to. Manhattan Tower is why I bought this CD, and I got so much more from it than I bargained for. The illusion I have when I play it is that I am a young jazz artist in New York, feeling the pulse of the city and filling up with everything about being a part of New York.

A BIG disappointment!.......2004-08-19

I bought this CD for the Slaughter on Tenth Avenue soundtrack ballet by Richard Rodgers and Lennie Hayton. But none of the tracks on this CD can be appreciated. It is a mono recording, and that immediately leaves you with a very incomplete sound. No amount of treble and bass adjustment can eliminate the awful tinny sound throughout the disc.

Album Description

In clubs and juke joints, a new music took shape toward the end of the Second World War. Swining, sophiticated, and relentlessly high energy, it became known as "Rhythm & Blues." Savoy Records was among the first labels to record R&B, at a time when it was ignored and misunderstood by the music industry, and this ground breaking collection captures the birth of modern R&B.

True sound.......2002-06-03

I was looking for an album that contained Harlen Nocturne. If you ever hear the melody/song Harlem Nocturne you would know that this recording captures that haunting sound. Plus it has some great clasic tunes.

Disappointing.......2000-07-11

I purchased this CD sight unseen/sound unheard. I previously purchased "winter blues" without having seen or heard it and found it to be very good. I thought "Harlem Nocturne" was another new CD by Edgar. It isn't. It is a collection of material recorded in the early 1960s while apparently performing in clubs. The sound quality is fine, both instrumentals and voice, what disappoints me is the songs. I own at least 7 of Edgar's releases (at least 6 CDs and 1 album) and none of the songs on this collection sounds like an Edgar Winter song to me. The only value I find in this release is as a historical document.

Fun CD.......2004-02-09

It's probably fair to say that this is Susan Nigro's most popularistic CD. Both "Little" and "Tunes" from the title are aptly chosen. These certainly aren't monumental works, but fun, pleasant tunes. That's largely true of her other CDs too, but this one more so. In this case, that includes several cute, jazzy tunes, like "Take Five." If you're looking for profound works, this is not the CD for you, but if you want something light-hearted, this is it.

Speaking in generalities about Nigro's performance, it's pretty clear that she's a very capable performer, and this particular CD does a good job of showing off flashy technique, such as in Bozza's "Burlesque." Yes, I did say "flashy technique"; the contrabassoon is an amazingly agile instrument.

My only concern about Susan Nigro's performance here and in her other CDs regards her tone. It's a good tone to be sure, so I wouldn't let that dissuade you from buying her CDs. Still, it doesn't strike me as bassoon-family enough. Expecially at high volumes in the middle and low registers, it sounds a tad too saxophone-like for my personal tastes. A saxophone sound is fine, provided that it comes from a saxophone! Her upper-register sound, on the other hand, especially at lower volumes, is quite sweet and beautiful. The slow, lyrical middle section of that same Bozza "Burlesque" shows that well.

One of my least essential but most played CD's!.......1999-10-09

Turn up the bass response on your CD player for some good Brobdingnagian fun. Susan Nigro is a master of her big old instrument & it's good to see her step out from the bassoon section for this outing.
