     Дорогие мои друзья: BlackB, lex, Teds, polonez13, милые мои... Вы мне сегодня устроили такой праздник, который я не забуду никогда!
     В знак благодарности и искренней любви хочу подарить вам и всем членам Клуба этот редчайший (но, к сожалению, неполный - не хватает двух последних трэков) альбом Erroll Garner в надежде, что прослушав представленные 8 композиций, вы не будете упрекать меня за недостаток...
     Спасибо всем... С любовью, ваша zuziki

     "The three of us fell into a oneness which allowed the music to roll out naturally," Jimmy Giuffre wrote of this 1959 session with his frequent collaborator Jim Hall on guitar and the great Ray Brown on bass. Consisting mostly of original compositions, the music here always sounds, in Giuffre's words, "relaxed and settled."

     Artist: Max Roach
     Album: MAX
     Year: 1958

     Total time: 32:39

     Killer set of bop tracks recorded by Max and other New York bop heavy-hitters, like Hank Mobley and Kenny Dorham -- plus a guest appearance by Ramsey Lewis on piano, in one of his few non-Chicago, non-trio sides. The record's got that great kind of energy that Roach could hit when he really was kicking his group into gear -- and although the overall approach is mostly hardbop, there's plenty going on under the surface. Tracks inlcude "CM", "Four X", "Crackle Hut", and "Speculate". (Hard-to-find Japanese pressing from the 1970s. Further information is very difficult to find.)

     Я тоже от всего сердца поздравляю Вас, прелестная zuziki! Удивляйте и удивляйтесь! Чувствуйте радость и дарите её другим! Море улыбок Вам и любви!
     И простите, если этот альбом у Вас есть. В любом случае я просто очень хочу подарить Вам тот праздник, которым он наполнен.

     In the 70's, the marvelous pianist, George Shearing,started his own label, Sheba (a conflation of he and his wife's name) and the first release was this gem of a recording; George plays and Joe Williams sings. All of the tunes have the word, "heart" or "soul" in their title a fanciful concept and owing to the fact that many wonderful standards have these words in their titles the results are winning. Love Mr Williams voice in this recording, relaxed in the company of Shearing and the side musicians it is a treat to hear these two artists at work. A worthwhile purchase.

     Сравнительно ранние записи пианистки, получившей большую известность в 80-х благодаря серии весьма интересных радио передач Piano Jazz (записано более 30 CD).

     Artist: Herbie Hancock
     Album: Future Shock
     Label: Columbia
     Year: 1983
     Styles: Jazz-Funk, Fusion, Electro

     The three electronic, hip-hop-influenced albums Herbie Hancock recorded during the 1980s--of which Future Shock was the first, followed by Sound System and Perfect Machine--have been the most maligned by fans of his enormously influential '60s-era jazz work. The reissue of all three albums, each newly remastered with bonus mixes and new liner notes, makes it clear Hancock was much more than simply a jazz pianist reaching for a pop crossover audience. To be sure, Hancock got his pop hit with Future Shock's "Rockit," and there's plenty on Future Shock that sounds dated, from the early 80's synthesizer tones to the almost consciously stiff-sounding hip-hop beats that permeate every track. But dig a little deeper, and it's clear this is supremely intelligent dance music, with a combination of producer-bassist Bill Laswell's Kraftwerk-influenced industrial production and Latin percussionist Daniel Ponce's Bata drum, Pete Cosey's screeching guitar--which echoes his work with Miles Davis's 1970s band--Sly Dunbar's rock-solid funk drumming, and Grand Mixer D.S.T.'s radical (for the time) turntable scratching. And, of course, there's "Rockit", the track that introduced a generation of young listeners to Hancock and break-dancing robots in music videos. All in all, a reissue well worth revisiting. -- Ezra Gale
