	Barnes & Noble.com - Music: 1951-1953, Charlie Ventura, CD
		On December 22, 1952, Ventura waxed seven beautiful sides using alto, tenor, and baritone saxophones in front of a rhythm trio for producer Norman Granz.
		Ventura's baritone work is particularly attractive on "Blue Prelude." A second date for Norgran Records took place on January 5, 1953, with Hank Jones at the piano and the great Jo Jones behind the drums.
		Ventura opens on tenor but switches to baritone on "Blues for Two" and sticks with the basement horn on "Somebody Loves Me." These are some radically advanced improvisations, signaling a profound ongoing artistic evolution.

		Gene Norman presented the Charlie Ventura Septet at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium on May 9, 1949 and the results were released on separate (and completely different) albums by Decca and GNP Crescendo.
		Featured are Ventura on tenor, trumpeter Conte Candoli, trombonist Benny Green, altoist Boots Mussuli, pianist Roy Kral, bassist Kenny O'Brien and drummer Ed Shaughnessy; in addition the voices of Kral and Jackie Cain give the ensembles their own unique sound.
		Highlights include "Flamingo" (a Jackie and Roy feature that has a Pete Rugolo arrangement), Ventura's showcase on "Body And Soul," "Boptura" and "High On An Open Mike." Both albums from this well-documented concert are excellent with the edge going toward the Decca set.

	Charlie Parker : Jazz at the Philharmonic 1946 ---Ink Blot Magazine
		Charlie "Yardbird" Parker still ranks as the greatest improviser of all time.
		Considered the father of "modern" jazz, or bebop, Parker possessed an extraordinary combination of speed and grace, of technical virtuosity and deep emotion, all of which remained greatly informed by the blues.
		Despite top billing on this release, Charlie Parker wasn't really the leader of these incredible all-star jam sessions; he was merely the star of stars.

	Here’s to you, Charlie - Ventura County Reporter
		During his life, Charlie, a fifth generation farmer in Yolo County, employed sustainable farming practices, worked on preserving open space and supported local farmers.
		But looking back now, as Charlie’s noble actions are given their proper due, perhaps someone in Davis, or Ventura, will feel a change happen deep in their soul, and life will continue to become better for all of us.
		Prior to Charlie’s passing, I ordered a case from his new winery, anxious to taste his wines.

	Charlie Ventura: In Concert featuring Jackie Cain and Roy Kral (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Tenor saxophonist Charlie Ventura spun his award winning success (Downbeat Magazines' best tenor saxophonist in 1945) as a frontman in drummer Gene Krupa's band into his own popular Be-bop combo in the latter 1940's and early 1950's.
		Ventura was pivotal in garnering Be-bop a broader mass appeal by incorporating a mainstream "show-biz" approach into his music.
		Featuring Ventura band stalwarts trumpeter Conte Candoli, trombonist Bennie Green, alto saxophonist Boots Mussulli, and drummer Ed Shaughnessy, this recording can be earmarked as the group's finest hour.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Music: 1949-1951, Charlie Ventura, CD
		Most of the music on this CD from tenor saxophonist Charlie Ventura was formerly scarce.
		Its seven selections (five of which were previously unreleased) often utilize haunting vocals by the Honeydreamers and/or Lucy Reed, including "You've Got a Date With the Blues" and "Lonesome Darling." After that orchestra broke up, Ventura returned to playing with small groups.
		The final two dates on this CD were recorded for Norman Granz's Clef label; a quintet outing with trumpeter Conte Candoli that features boppish versions of six swing standards, and a quartet set with vocals from Betty Bennett, bassist Chubby Jackson, and the Blentones.

	Charlie Ventura
		With a smooth mellow and consistent tone, he created a tenor style that veered from swing to bebop, a style that was elegant, sure-footed, mature and distinctive.
		When musicians like Dexter Gordon, Sonny Criss or even Charlie Parker blew at him on the stand, Wardell did anything but fall over, he blew back with conviction and a style that was all his own.
		This 77 track celebration of the man's art is the most complete in the marketplace and comes with a 40 page booklet telling the story and including session detail and rare photos.

		Charlie Ventura originally gained fame as Gene Krupa's extroverted tenor saxophonist in 1945, featured on "Dark Eyes." His "Bop for the People" orchestra gained some recognition in the late 1940s, but in the '50s, he more often performed with a quartet/quintet as the only horn.
		The CD also has two added alternate takes, but two songs on the original Tops LP ("Paper Moon" and "Harvest Moon") have been left off, and the playing time is a very chintzy 34 minutes.
