Concord Jazz and Nick Phillips(producer) present "JAZZ MOODS - COCKTAIL PARTY", thirteen tracks sure to make your next party a swingin' success for every guest to fit every mood---a fine instrumental collection of music that's sure to add both a 100-proof spike and a touch of classic and sophistication to that next social gathering.

Step back, here are the stand outs ~ "FLY ME TO THE MOON"(Bart Howard), features Joey DeFrancesco's Goodsfellas groovin' the hippest beat---"SATIN DOLL"(Mercer/Strayhorn/Ellington), Kenny Burrell captures the moment for your party---"INKA-DINKA-DO"(Jimmy Durante/Ben Ryan), Herb Ellis & Ray Brown perform Durante's theme song in a big way---"HOT TODDY"(Hendler/Flanagan), Gene Harris my all-time favorite hard funk blues piano player, puts his signature on this one, perfectly---gotta love it!

Entire album is as essential for your next Cocktail Party as the beverage, snacks and good company---so "Jazz Fans:, spin this CD and let's party!

Total Time:60:04 on 13 Tracks ~ Concord Jazz CCD-5218 ~ (2000)

Another winner in the excellent Jazz Moods collection. Top artists doing upbeat but easygoing music. The always superb Kenny Burrell is indeed smooth on "A Smooth One." All-time great pianist Tommy Flanagan, one of my favorite musicians, shines on "Jeepers Creepers." Jimmy Bruno makes you smile when he does "Witchcraft." The great bass of Ray Brown is right on target on two tracks here. There are no duds on the disc. Don't be deceived by the bargain price -- be happy -- this is NOT bargain bin music. And at the price, it's worth a sixth star for value.
