     Bud Shank has been an integral member of the international jazz scene for 60 years. A respected saxophonist, composer, and arranger, his soaring dynamic performances have enlivened countless concerts, festivals, nightclubs, and recording sessions.
     Shank first came to prominence in the big bands of Charlie Barnet and Stan Kenton during the late 1940s. In the 1950s the saxophonist began a long tenure with Howard Rumsey's Lighthouse All Stars, as well as work with his own quartet. A charter member of the "West Coast" jazz movement, Shank's cool but always strongly swinging sound has made him one of a handful of sax players with an instantly recognizable and always exciting sound. In addition to club and concert dates this period found the musician producing some 50 diverse albums.

     In this 1963 recording session, pianist Herbie Hancock had a chance to work with a septet that could highlight his burgeoning skills as an arranger and composer. With Hancock's inventive sense of voicings already defined, it's a happy mix of inspired charts and spirited blowing that fuses the hard bop of trumpeter Donald Byrd and tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley with the bluesy approach of guitarist Grant Green and Hancock's own fluent soloing and incisive comping. Also notable is the explosive young drummer Tony Williams, who was already showing the distinctive fire that would soon ignite Miles Davis's band. The track "Blind Man, Blind Man" is a funky romp that clearly builds on Hancock's remarkable success with the earlier "Watermelon Man" and is a harbinger of the pop success he'd later enjoy with the Headhunters. - Amazon

     This double disc reissue on Blue Note contains the three releases that alto saxophonist Sonny Criss did for Imperial: Jazz U.S.A., Go Man!, and Plays Cole Porter. These sessions were all recorded in 1956 at a time when Criss had honed his amazing bebop alto precision. These 34 performances contain only five of his originals and are surrounded by mainly standards. The bands consisted of solid lineups with Sonny Clark or Kenny Drew on piano; Barney Kessel on guitar; Leroy Vinnegar, Buddy Clark or Bill Woodson on bass; Larry Bunker on vibes; and Larance Marable or Chuck Thompson taking care of drumming duties. While Criss had a career that erratically spanned the '70s, these Imperial sessions (reissued in glorious mono) contained highly regarded performances of passionate blues, moving ballads, and energetic up- tempo pieces. - AMG

     Аркадий - явление уникальное, валторнист "тысячи лиц", "перевоплощений". Он не только полижанровый чудодей, но и совместитель-многостаночник; в его арсенале и альпийский рог, и флюгельгорн, и охотничьи рожки, и другое из медного арсенала.
Слушайте новый альбом Аркадия и будет полный jass (Если Вы знаете, то слово "jass" в негритянском фольклоре означает восклицание при достижении оргазма).

     By the time they joined forces, Sammy Davis, Jr. and Carmen McRae had both fought long and hard to transcend their early influences-Frank Sinatra for Davis, Billie Holiday for McRae. With Boy Meets Girl and the Gershwins' magnum opus, Porgy and Bess, they emerged as distinctive voices in their own right, laying claim to everything from classic Tin Pan Alley material to one of the most socially relevant works in the American canon. From tender and touching to full-throttle exuberance, both sang as if their very lives were on the line.
