Disc 1 - Charlie Byrd & Special Guests - A Tribute To Antonio Carlos Jobim

Don't recall seeing these CDs mentioned.

I am not sure what the issue is here? Many albums have been made of music first recorded by others. The list would be very very lengthy. With regard to the Mulligan redo of Birth of the Cool, the solos were played by different musicians and were not copies of the original album. So the whole thing seems like like nothing really all that new or different than what we have seen countless times before.

This is the 2nd CD in the two CD "Blues March" Roulette set. It features Valery Ponomarev, Bobby Watson, David Schnitter, Walter Davis, Dennis Irwin, Art Blakey.

Ella sound terrific. But it is very disappointing that there are no solos by any of the musicians. With a rhythm section that includes Paul Smith and Jim Hall a few solos in the middle of tunes would be highly appropriate. It seems there are jazz vocal albums that have solos by the musicians and others that do not. In my opinion, a jazz recording is always much better when the listener gets to hear some playing by the musicians on the session.
