At the same time, we explore the works of artists who did not retain the renown they enjoyed during their lifetimes and who fell into obscurity. But obscurity is not necessarily forever, and as cycles of taste have changed, these once-forgotten artists and their largely unknown works have re-surfaced to startle us today.

Obviously, these items would be a good gift idea for any occasion year-round, as well as a gift for yourself! We do not include many, if any at all, single CDs in the guide. Most everything contained will be multiple CD sets, DVDs, CD/DVD sets, books and the like. Of course, you can always look though our back issues to see what came out in 2017 (and prior years), but none of us would want to attempt to decide which CDs would be a fitting ad- dition to this guide. As with 2016, the year 2017 was a bit on the lean side as far as reviews go of box sets, books and DVDs - it appears tht the days of mass quantities of boxed sets are over - but we do have some to check out. These are in no particular order in terms of importance or release dates.

  • Diana Krall's Turn up the Quiet World Tour to Stop at the Hanover Theatre
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Diana Krall’s Turn Up The Quiet World Tour to stop at The Hanover Theatre WORCESTER, Mass. (June 11, 2018) Multiple Grammy® Award-winning jazz pianist and world-renowned singer, Diana Krall continues with the fourth North American leg of her international Turn Up The Quiet World Tour that has visited over 100 cities in Europe and North America thus far. Twenty-one additional U.S. concert dates have just been announced for this October and November, including The Hanover Theatre for the Performing Arts on October 6 at 8 p.m. Tickets go on sale to members of The Hanover Theatre on Thursday, June 14 at 10 a.m. and go on sale to the public on Friday, June 15 at 10 a.m. Having previously visited Europe and South America, the Turn Up The Quiet World Tour has been wowing audiences with material from Krall’s stunning latest album “Turn Up The Quiet” (Verve Records) and has now become the biggest in Mrs. Krall’s career. Earning critical praise, DOWNBEAT Magazine called the album "spellbinding… Krall knows how to put her own distinctive stamp on decades-old standards, making them sound fresh and vibrant." Turn Up The Quiet holds significant importance as it was the last recording Krall made with her long-time mentor and collaborator, producer Tommy LiPuma, before his sudden passing last year and is dedicated to his memory. Diana Krall is the only jazz singer to have eight albums debut at the top of the Billboard Jazz Albums chart. To date, her albums have garnered five Grammy® Awards, ten Juno® Awards and have also earned nine gold, three platinum and seven multi-platinum --more-- albums.

  • George Benson
    GEORGE BENSON BIOGRAPHY From hard bop guitarist to R&B/pop superstar, George Benson has worn a wide variety of hats over the years. R&B lovers know him as the guitar-playing vocalist who is responsible for such hits as "Give Me The Night" and "Turn Your Love Around", while the jazz world continues to treasue his classic instrumental albums of the 1960s and early 1970s. And it goes without saying that Benson's million-selling Breezin' album of 1976 practically defined the NAC, quiet storm, and contemporary jazz radio formats. Because the guitarist/singer is so diverse and unpredictable, one never knows what he will do from one album to the next - and on his latest GRP release, Absolute Benson, the eight- time GRAMMY®-winner surprises us once again by emphasizing instrumental music. While Benson's last album, 1998's Standing Together, was full of R&B/pop singing, only three of Absolute Benson's nine songs find him providing vocals: his rendition of Ray Charles's "Come Back Baby", an infectious remake of the late Donny Hathaway's soul classic "The Ghetto", and Benson's Latin-flavored "El Barrio" (a companion piece to "The Ghetto"). Everything else on the album is instrumental, and this time, Benson's distrinctive guitar playing takes center stage. Though Benson is still quite capable of playing straight-ahead hard bop, Absolute Benson isn't a bop album. Blending jazz with R&B and pop, Absolute Benson aims for accessibility and recalls Benson's albums of the early-to-mid 1970s. From the haunting "Deeper Than You Think", the intriguing "Medicine Man", and the slightly Wes Montgomery-ish "One On One" to the funky "Hipping The Hop" and a thoughtful version of Stevie Wonder's "Lately", Absolute Benson illustrates Benson's virtuosity without sacrificing his commitment to the groove, the beat and the melody.
