     Пианист Эрл Хайнс (род. 28 декабря 1905 г. в окрестностях Питсбурга, шт. Пенсильвания) принадлежит к величайшим джазовым музыкантам и имеет много последователей. Хайнс приехал в Чикаго в 1922 году. Здесь он услышал Луи Армстронга и пришел от него в восторг. Правой рукой Хайнс играл фразы, аналогичные фразам Армстронга, и таким образом применил стиль великого трубача к фортепиано.

      This collection from the late 1950s finds the guitarist in an upbeat jam session with Art Blakey, Junior Cook, Bobby Timmons, and others. A great set that falls somewhere between uptown hard bop and chicken shack blues, though the couple of romantic ballads are more in keeping with the mood of the cover art (drawn by a pre-fame Andy Warhol).

     Jelly Roll Morton recorded voluminously for RCA, and this five-CD set includes many of the masterpieces of New Orleans jazz, the bulk of them recorded between 1926 and 1930, when Morton's art was at its peak. First recording in Chicago and later in New York, the great composer evolved his style within its own terms, gradually moving from fairly tight arrangements of his compositions to a more expansive approach that increasingly exploited the special talents of his players. Whether playing with musicians whose names are obscure today, or with some of the most famous names from the early history of jazz, like Red Allen, Bubber Miley, Zutty Singleton, and Baby Dodds, Morton created music of relaxed verve, often favoring medium tempos that highlighted his keen sense of detail. In addition to all the great band tracks, there are superb trios featuring the clarinets of Omer Simeon and Johnny Dodds, as well as fine solo piano pieces. Among early jazz recordings, these rank in importance with those of King Oliver and Louis Armstrong. -- Stuart Broomer

      One of the finest European jazz pianists of all time, Martial Solal (a unique stylist) has never received as much recognition in the U.S. as he deserves. Born in Algiers to French parents, Solal has been based in Paris since the late '40s. Although a modernist, he was flexible enough to record an album with Sidney Bechet in 1957 and make other records with Django Reinhardt, Don Byas, and Lucky Thompson. Solal has been primarily heard with his own trios through the years although he has recorded several notable albums with Lee Konitz. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide

     All the music on this album is Live, whether it was recorded above drinking and talk at Birdland, in the studio. There is a daringly human quality to John Coltrane's music that makes itself felt, wherever he records. If you can hear, this music will make you think of a lot of weird and wonderful things. You might even become one of them. -- Amiri Baraka (Original liner notes from Coltrane Live At Birdland)

Includes Covers + Liner Notes

Grab This! finds tenor Johnny Griffin in a soul-jazz mood, which is greatly aided by the organ of Paul Bryant. They are joined by guitarist Joe Pass, bassist Jimmy Bond, and drummer Doug Sides for nice workouts on several originals and a couple of standards. The band seems confident and relaxed throughout this recording, injecting everything it touches with a healthy dose of the blues. Griffin's tone is rich and full throughout, but is most striking on Ellington and Russell's "Don't Get Around Much Anymore" and the self-penned original "Grab This!" Bryant has been given special guest status, and his style is perfectly matched with Griffin's...

     Моё мнение, этот концертник должен обязательно быть на полке у любого, кто любит Брубека. Что-то невообразимое творилось той ночью 1970 года в Берлине. Вместо положенного эта четвёрка сыграла вполовину больше - публика их просто не отпускала. И это в то время, когда на дворе царствовал рок-н-ролл... Одним словом, очень рекомендую! Особенно пьесу Blessed Are the Poor, которая лично для меня доносится прямо из космоса.
