Robinson<\/font><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><font size=\"2\" style=\"font-face:verdana; font-size:10pt\" face=\"Verdana, Helvetica\" color=\"#000000\">Continuing the comprehensive education they introduced with &#8220;Pure Jazz,&#8221; Verve records has taken another dip into the cream of their collections for this broad and widely-popular second helping. Opening with Nina Simone&#8217;s haunting and somewhat ironic &#8220;Feeling Good,&#8221; the album also vocalizes through the ages from Billie Holiday (&#8220;I&#8217;ve Got My Love to Keep Me Warm&#8221;) to Diana Krall (&#8220;Let&#8217;s Face the Music and Dance&#8221;). Instrumentals include Duke and Coltrane&#8217;s &#8220;Sentimental Mood&#8221; and &#8220;Killer Joe&#8221; by The Jazztet (featuring Benny Golson and Art Farmer).<\/p>\n<p>  From the &#8220;straight&#8221; Jazz of Bird&#8217;s &#8220;Confirmation&#8221; and George Shearing&#8217;s poppy &#8220;Lullaby of Birdland&#8221; to the more pop-oriented (and perhaps less authentic) &#8220;Linus and Lucy Theme&#8221; from Vince Guaraldi and even &#8220;Somewhere Beyond the Sea&#8221; by teen idol Bobby Darin, &#8220;Pure Jazz&#8221; casts a wide net, drawing in music fans of diverse and divergent ages and backgrounds into the broad legacy that is (or is not) Jazz.    <\/p>\n<p><font size=\"1\">\u00a92002, M.
