SUE RANEY/All by Myself: If it wasn’t for the winds of change blowing through the music biz in the form of Beatles and a car accident, you’d be remembering Raney as the early sixties icon of the golden age of broads continuing the tradition of female vocalists that knew how to swing and seduce. With a Stan Kenton sounding album that has everything Kenton on it except Kenton, you can tell this was meant to be a break out album. Even judged by contemporary standards, in a vacuum, it sounds like a perfectly wonderful, high octane cocktail album that can still seduce like a fiend today. The perfect ear candy for the next time you want geta retro urging in your sweet tooth. Guaranteed, hot stuff.

TERELL STAFFORD/Taking Chances-Live at the Dakota: Stafford is a horn playing maniac, one of the few cats that really out there tearing it up. Tasty trumpet that can pull a few other tricks out of his bag, Stafford knows how to blow up a storm and is doing it in a right setting. He knows how to take chances and make bets that will finish in the money. Backed by some cats that know how to follow where he leads, this is a tasty mainstream outing that hits all the right notes.
