Summary: Now this is what I call a JAM SESSION!!!
Comment: When you open up the CD and you see the picture of all of those legends playing together in this incredible 1954 session, as a jazz fan it's hard not to be overwhelmed. For let's see... you've not only got the fabulous Miss D, but add into the mix Brownie, Clark Terry & Maynard Ferguson as your trumpet trio, Herb Geller on alto sax with the very underated Harold Land on tenor, Richie Powell & Junior Mance on piano, George Morrow and Keeter Betts on bass, and of course Brownie's right hand man, Max Roach on drums. Now you tell me, as a fan of jazz, what more do you need to be motivated to make this purchase? This is one of the most memorable jam sessions ever in the history of jazz music.
I've listened to this CD over and over and over again. It's one of my favorite jazz vocal recordings and one of the first jazz albums I ever purchased. What makes Dinah unique is the feeling and emotion she brings to each piece as if this is the last song she will ever sing and you need to remember every word that comes out of her soulful, bluesy, fervent voice. Just listen to her rendition of "Crazy He Calls Me" and tell me she isn't 100% absorbed in every syllable. However, the whole album is like that and the cats behind her are just as impassioned. Every solo is a standout, every jam spectacular and special.
If there was a Hall-of-Fame for jazz recordings, this one easily is a first ballot inductee!

Summary: Uneven jammin' with Dinah
Comment: Yes, Dinah is a great mystery to jazz fans: such a talent who spent so little time singing jazz. Also: at times she sounds like a natural born jazz singer - listen to "I've got you under my skin" or deceivebly simple (and loud) rendition of "Come rain or come shine" - and at times she just crosses over to the sweet side, even when the musicians give the best in the dirrection of hot or (hot)modern jazz...
This CD is, to put it simply, uneven; at times it is brilliant, with some great instrumental performances (Clark Terry is my favorite artist here), at times it is not swinging enough and the musicians (particularly Dinah and the saxes ramble away from the center of the performance....)---
When she is good she is great, when not, well, she is not a jazz singer. All in all, there are still more than enough high points to deserve four stars, particularly because the low points are not all that low (particularly when compared to some of the contemporary "divas" who try to pass as, among other things, jazz singers...)

Summary: The Female Sinatra: ADORE ADORE ADORE ADORE
Comment: Did I mention I ADORE this album? The female Sinatra, that's Dinah. I can't understand why she doesn't get the airplay of her other jazz diva sisters. Where Ella is mellow and Billie is blue, Dinah is crystalline and insistent without sacrificing soul. If Ella is a sax, Dinah is a trumpet.
Speaking of which, Clifford Brown's rendition of Summertime is the absolute best ever trumpet solo. Ever. EVER.
Then there is the rocking fantastickness of everyone else. This whole album rolls and tumbles and scurries and and jives flows and lights you up inside. Listen to this and you will never want to commit suicide.

Summary: not dinah
Comment: I bought this CD because I love Dinah Washington. Most of the CD is wonderful. But two of the cuts don't have Dinah singing at all. They are fine tunes, I suppose, but they are not what I thought I was purchasing. I wanted Dinah Washington, not some other musicians jamming. I feel I was mislead, and ripped off.

Summary: Dinah Jams!
Comment: Dinah Washington is not one of the great jazz singers; but her voice is one of the great jazz instruments. And on "DINAH JAMS," Dinah Washington is surrounded by some unbelievable instruments: her regular trio (with pianist Junior Mance), the Max Roach Quintet (Clifford Brown and tenor Harold Land) plus sitters-in alto Herb Gellar, Clark Terry and Maynard. Yeah, that's right ... Brown Terry Ferguson. Stand the hell back. Put the trumpets down and step away from the vocalist. Damn. I cannot take this CD out of my player. This month I have added Monk, Mose, and MJQ to my collection, as well as some reasonably priced `tween-war music. All of these should be fighting for a place in the rotation, and it should be a fair fight. But it isn't. Dinah jams. That's all. If all I had was one track on a mix tape, I would probably rewind that one track and listen to it to the exclusion of all else. It makes me dizzy to think about that, but in a good way.
Of course, there is a second part to this story -- or, more accurately, there is a second recording from this night. It was released as Clifford Brown's "Jam Session," and Verve has it in their Verve Vault where out-of-print recordings are available via downloads. You have to buy them, still, but that wouldn't be so bad -- if I were a member of the computer world. I'm sure that there is an intersection between people who buy downloads for their i-pods and people who can't sleep at night because there are Maynard high-notes dancing in their heads. Still, it seems likely to be a cruelly small cross-section. Small enough to exclude me, certainly. But enough of my fibber-flabbing. I have 2 1/2 minutes of Gershwin's Summertime played in a register that is mostly used by bats, so I'm not complaining. I mean, yes, I am, but mostly in an "I have difficulty seeing over my pelvis" way.

Editorial Reviews:
|
The casual setting of this one-day live session produced an uncompromisingly fiery album, here happily augmented by three bonus tracks. Washington rips, roars, and caresses her material, sometimes all at once, while leaving plenty of room for the likes of Clifford Brown, Clark Terry, and Max Roach to shine. The highlight is a "You Go to My Head" that's the very definition of the phrase "a summer with a thousand Julys." --Rickey Wright
