Oregon – Music Of Another Present Era |
Music » Jazz » Fusion |

 Artist: Oregon Album: Music Of Another Present Era Label: Vanguard Year: 1972 Format, bitrate: mp3, 320 kbps Size: 114 MB Time: 46:38 Music of Another Present Era remains Oregon's most enduring masterwork. Achieving a perfect balance of musical traditions from the East and West, ancient to future, they set the stage not only for a new transculturalism in jazz, but also created a lasting template for the fusion of musics from world traditions that would flower over a decade later. The four participants in Oregon, oboist and pianist Paul McCandless, guitarist and pianist Ralph Towner, upright bassist and pianist Glen Moore, and the late multi-instrumentalist Collin Walcott, operated on the premise that melodic ideas and expansive harmonies all contributed to a music that didn't bridge cultures, but erased them and eradicated them. This is a place where the astute dynamics of classical music meet the freedom of post-bop jazz in an inquiry of world rhythms and harmonics. Standout tracks include "North Star," with its celebration of rural music and rhythmic invention; the up-tempo "Sail," which offers a killer trio of Walcott's sprinting tablas, Towner's frenetic 12-string playing, and Moore's inquiring bass; the intensely improvisatory "Shard/Spring Is Really Coming"; and the lilting "The Swan." This is fusion music, to be sure, but it's the kind of fusion musicians have been trying unsuccessfully to emulate for decades. Music of Another Present Era is one of the most poetic and groundbreaking records to be released in the 1970s. ~ Thom Jurek, All Music Guide |

 Artist: Etta James Album: All The Way Label: RCA Victor Styles: Blues, R'n'B, Jazz, Soul Year: 2006 Format: APE (image + .cue), lossless Time: 51:37 Size: 337 MB Вовсе непривычный для публики соул-джазовый альбом Этты, но нечто совершенно неожиданное - сборник кавер-версий, причем в основном из поп-рокового мира. Набор номеров здесь печалит серьезных критиков и радует рядовых слушателей, которым несомненно будет интересно узнать, как настоящий профессионал интерпретирует хиты не первой свежести и не всегда отменного качества, в числе коих - даже "Imagine" Джона Леннона |

 Artist: Apple Tea Album: Instead Of You (Made with Regula) Year: 2006 Format, bitrate: mp3, 320kbit Time: 1:01:20 Size: 143994 kb «Этот альбом, думается, самая серьёзная, строгая и, безусловно, наиболее зрелая из всех работа группы, в определенном смысле сборной звезд этой команды всех времен ее существования. Здесь музыканты вернулись к основному течению современного джаза с элементами латино-американской музыки и ориентацией на классические образцы. Изысканные композиции альбома, отточенные формы пьес, сочные аранжировки сделаны музыкантами, прекрасно понимающими друг друга...» ~ Дмитрий Подберезский. |

Blind Blake - Complete Recorded Works, Vol. 4 (1929-1932) (1991) |

 Artist: Blind Blake Album: Complete Recorded Works, Vol. 4 (1929-1932) Label: Document Year: 1991 Genre: Country Blues Format: mp3/ CBR 320 kbps, 44.1kHz, Stereo Size: 128 Mb The fourth and final volume in Document's series assembles a wide range of Blind Blake material, from sides cut under the name Blind Arthur ("Guitar Chimes" and "Blind Arthur's Breakdown"), collaborations with vaudeville singer Chocolate Brown (a.k.a. Irene Scruggs), and even his sole two-part blues, the morbid "Rope Stretchin' Blues." Among the final pair of tracks, from mid-1932, the first, "Champagne Charlie Is My Name," is so atypical that some question whether it is even Blake at all; however, his last known side, "Depression's Gone from Me Blues," is a career-capping triumph -- just why he never recorded again is just one of the many mysteries which continue to swirl about this legendary figure. ~ Jason Ankeny |

Itzhak Perlman & Andre Previn - A Different Kind of Blues |
Music » Jazz » Modern Jazz |
|
|
 Artists - Itzhak Perlman & Andre Previn Album - A Different Kind of Blues Label - EMI/Angel Year - 1980, release - 1992 Quality - MP3@320 kbps Size - 83,6 mb Total time - 36:35 This looked like a debacle in the making on first glance -- Andre Previn, out of jazz for nearly two decades as of this session, indulging classical violin virtuoso Itzhak Perlman, who had never played jazz before in his life -- but the two classical partners actually made a really charming album the first time around. Of course, Perlman had a lot of expert help as he waded into the jazz pool, for Previn wrote out all of the tunes and solos for him and populated the rhythm section with can't-miss stalwarts Shelly Manne on drums, Red Mitchell on bass, and Jim Hall on guitar. That wouldn't guarantee a great record all by itself (see the It's a Breeze review) but in this case, the results are swinging, musical, lyrical and inordinately entertaining. Like the proverbial bicyclist who took a long sabbatical but never forgot how to ride, Previn still had plenty of keyboard invention in his fingers, and his tunes are consistently witty. The catchiest tune of the lot also has the funniest title, "Who Reads Reviews" -- aimed no doubt at the anticipated pack of jackals who were expected to eat this album for breakfast. But Perlman gives an attractive account of himself, not quite swinging but creating an alluring illusion of jazz feeling; in the ballads, he sounds as if he had been definitely listening to a lot of Stephane Grappelli. A historical note: this record, now on CD, actually anticipated the rash of "crossover" albums by classical artists that didn't take hold until late in the 1980s. And it remains more enjoyable than the vast majority of its successors. ~ Richard S. Ginell, AMG

 Artist: James Cotton Album: Fire Down Under The Hill Label: Telarc Original Year: 2000 Genre: Chikago Blues Format mp3, bitrate: 256 kb/s Time: 57:11 Size: 92.86 И опять - гармошка, совсем не русская! "Superharp" Cotton вашему вниманию! Посвящается всем любителям харпа. И персонально - ув. Teds! Fire Down Under the Hill is the first release for the Telarc label by blues harmonica legend James Cotton. These ten acoustic tracks combine new tunes with the traditional Delta style passed down to Cotton directly from Little Walter and Sonny Boy Williamson. Backed by his regular road band, guitarist Rico McFarland, pianist David Maxwell, and vocalist Darrell Nulisch, Cotton's exquisitely gritty harp playing still sounds great. ~ Al Campbell, All Music Guide

![Jamie Cullum - Jamie Cullum [Volume One & Two] (2006) + bonus video](http://jazzbluesclub.com/uploads/posts/1233322278_scan.jpg) Artist: Jamie Cullum Album: Jamie Cullum [Volume One & Two] Label: Sunday Express Year: 2006 Genre: Jazz, Vocal Jazz Format, bitrate: MP3@320 kbps Time: 58:28 Size: 65.8 + 61.9 Mb Джейми Каллум (Jamie Cullum) родился 20 августа 1979 года в Англии. Он начал играть на фортепиано с детства, всегда любил джаз, особенно Эллу Фитцджеральд и Фрэнка Синатру. Английский самородок Джейми усвоил для себя важную аксиому. Любому джазмену, если он горит желанием купаться в лучах славы, нужно искать потайные ходы к сердцу массовой публики, хотя, как правило, эти пути вовсе не потайные, и чтобы найти их, достаточно пойти на компромисс с поп-традицией. Джейми ищет свой баланс между современным джазом, поп-музыкой и блюзом, он поёт, играет на рояле и сам сочиняет. Его вокальная манера довольно распространена в джазе. Виртуозно балансируя на грани поп-формата и джаза, Джейми охватывает практически все главные направления массовой музыки. В апреле 2003 "Universal Classics & Jazz" заключил с 23-летним музыкантом, казалось бы, рискованный контракт: в промоушн нескольких альбомов планировалось вложить миллион фунтов стерлингов. Оказалось, что руководство "Universal Music" обладает поистине звериным чутьем: успех превзошел все ожидания. В 2006 году на Джимми обратил внимание известный таблоид Sunday Express и то же не ошибся. Диски Jamie Cullum [Volume One & Two], выпущенные под лейблом Sunday Express имели, да и до сих пор имеют успех. Да, успехи не заставили себя долго ждать, уже в 2007 году Джейми признается лучшим джазовым исполнителем года по версии награждения Ronnie Scott Awards. Вот так ворвался в музыкальную жизнь молодой английский «Синатра в кедах» и уже даже успел сыграть во дворце Сент-Джеймс на дне рождения Королевы. Что дальше? Покажет время, ну и конечно, сам Джейми Каллум. |

Shelly Manne & his Men - Checkmate |

 Artist: Shelly Manne Album: Checkmate Label: OJC/Contemporery Year: 1961 , release 2002 Genre: Jazz Format, bitrate: flac /mp3, 320 kb/s Time: 43:43 Size: 288 MB/96.8 mb This LP from Shelly Manne is a bit different than his other recordings of scores. In the past, it was his trio with pianist Andre Previn that performed music from hit plays (most notably My Fair Lady). For this date it is Manne's regular quintet (with trumpeter Conte Candoli, tenor saxophonist Richie Kamuca, pianist Russ Freeman and bassist Chuck Berghofer) that play seven themes from a now-forgotten television series (Checkmate) composed by Johnny Williams. None of the melodies caught on but at least they gave these fine musicians some fresh material to improvise on. However, this album is not essential despite some strong solos. ~ Scott Yanow, AMGREPOST with new MP3 links from pericles! |

Flip Phillips - Swing Is the Thing! (2000) |

 Artist: Flip Phillips Album: Swing Is the Thing! Label: Polygram Records Year: 2000 Genre: Jazz Format, bitrate: MP3@192 kbps +320 Kb/s (156 Mb) Time: 70:51 Size: 99.7 Mb AMG rating:  Amazingly enough, this is 85-year-old Flip Phillips' first major-label recording as a leader, as well as one of the few albums he's ever released as a leader. You'd have to say that the old man still has plenty of wind in him, because this is a blowing session from start to finish, especially on tracks like "The Mark of Zorro" (versions of which open and close the album), "Where or When," and "Flip the Whip," when Phillips is joined by one or both of two fellow tenor men, James Carter and Joe Lovano. The rest of the time, he sticks with a rhythm section consisting of Howard Alden, Benny Green, Christian McBride, and Kenny Washington, though Duke Ellington's "In a Mellow Tune" is a duet with bassist McBride and "This Is All I Ask" pairs him with guitarist Alden. Alden especially also gets plenty of solo time in on what are really group performances. But that takes nothing away from the spry leader, who can roar on such numbers as the title tune and whisper with a husky tone on slow burners like "For All We Know." His playing is an inspiration. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide

Sergey Rachmaninov - Rachmaninov plays Rachmaninov. The Ampico Piano Recordings (1919 - 29) |

 Artist: Sergey Rachmaninov Album: Rachmaninov plays Rachmaninov Year: rec. 1919 – 29, rel. 1990 Genre: Classical; Keyboard Label: Decca Time: 59:15 Size: 133.49 MB Format: MP3@320/kbs В 1919 г. началось десятилетнее сотрудничество Сергея Васильевича Рахманинова с известной американской фирмой «Ампико», одним из ведущих производителей пианол (механических фортепиано). «Сергей Васильевич согласился записываться на механическом фортепиано системы «Ампико», скорее всего, из-за хорошей оплаты, которую предложила фирма… Но дело было не только в коммерции. На фирме «Ампико» работали энтузиасты своего искусства, прекрасно разбирающиеся не только в механике и технике, но и в музыке. Они понимали также, какое значение могут иметь высококачественные записи таких пианистов, как Сергей Рахманинов, Иосиф Левин, Мориц Розенталь, Артур Рубинштейн. Благодаря техническим достижениям в создании совершенного механизма записи, позволяющего учесть практически все тонкости фортепианной игры, начиная от силы удара и кончая педализацией, мы теперь имеем возможность услышать, как играл Рахманинов не с помощью граммофонной пластинки 20-х годов, где, по выражению самого Рахманинова, рояль звучит как балалайка, а в живом исполнении на хорошем концертном рояле. В студии «Ампико» для изготовления музыкальных роликов (перфолент) использовался двухметровый кабинетный рояль фирмы «Мейсон энд Хэмлин». Но в принципе воспроизводящий механизм мог быть установлен и в трехметровый концертный рояль с использованием тех же самых музыкальных роликов. Нам неизвестно, были ли во времена бума механических роялей большие концертные инструменты с системой «Ампико», но в 1978 году такой рояль был оборудован в Англии. Это советский концертный рояль «Эстония» с хорошим тембром звучания, на котором можно прослушать все тридцать пять записанных Рахманиновым музыкальных роликов. Впечатление неописуемое, невероятное, поразительное! …И Рахманинова пригласили в студию прослушать готовые ролики. Сергей Васильевич сидел и слушал, не проявляя никаких признаков интереса или неодобрения, но перед тем как покинуть студию, он обернулся к руководителям и сотрудникам и сказал: - Джентльмены, я только что услышал, как я сам играю! В устах чрезвычайно скупого на всякие отзывы и тем более похвалы Рахманинова это было самой высокой оценкой». Б.С. Никитин «Сергей Рахманинов. Две жизни» Rachmaninov's recording career began in 1919. In April of that year Edison offered him a contract to make ten sides for the gramophone. By the end of the year he had fallen out with the inventor, and signed an exclusive contract with Victor which was to continue until his death. But the gramophone contracts did not Preclude an artist from recording performances 'on perforated piano rolls'. Ampico had entered the reproducing piano race later than its great American rival, Duo-Art, and desperately needed a world famous artist in its catalogue if it was to be taken seriously. In 1919 it made overtures to Rachmaninov to persuade him to make some test recordings. These recordings were processed, and Rachmaninov was invited to the Ampico studio to hear the finished music rolls. He listened, apparently utterly unimpressed, but just as he was about to leave he is reputed to have turned to the Ampico officials and said: 'Gentlemen, I have just heard myself play'. What a marvellous testimonial! This was the beginning of an association which would last for ten years and produce 34 music roll recordings. Some of the earliest recordings are included here. - Denis Hall |

John Coltrane - Stardust (1958) |
Music » Jazz » BeBop » Hard-bop |
|
|
 Artist: John Coltrane Album: Stardust Label: Prestige Quality: FLAC & MP3@320 Size: 226 MB & 84 MB Time: 37:26 In 1958, John Coltrane had yet to take the modal post-bop plunge. He was still a hard bopper, although his "sheets of sound" solos were certainly among the most interesting, creative, and distinctive that bop had to offer in the late '50s. Stardust contains some highlights of two bop-oriented Coltrane dates from 1958: one is a July 11 session with trumpeter/flugelhornist Wilbur Harden, pianist Red Garland, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Jimmy Cobb, the other is a December 26 session with Garland, Chambers, trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, and drummer Art Taylor. At both sessions, Coltrane's playing is quite engaging. He is a lyrical, expressive ballad player on "Then I'll Be Tired of You," "Stardust," and "Time After Time," but he swings fast and aggressively on "Love Thy Neighbor" (the only track on this 39-minute program that isn't a ballad). And at both sessions, Coltrane is well served by Garland's piano and Chambers' bass. When Coltrane was playing alongside those jazzmen in Miles Davis' 1955-1957 quintet, he enjoyed a strong rapport with both of them -- and that rapport wasn't any less strong in 1958. It is no coincidence that Prestige's A&R department united Coltrane with Garland and Chambers so often; Prestige knew how compatible all of them were. Although not quite essential, Stardust paints a consistently attractive picture of Coltrane's 1958 output. [When Fantasy reissued Stardust on CD for its Original Jazz Classics (OJC) series in 1997, the July 11 session had long been available in its entirety (except for alternate takes) on a disc titled The Stardust Session; however, performances of "Then I'll Be Tired of You" and "Time After Time" (both from the December 26 session) had only been available on CD as part of the 16-CD box set The Complete Prestige Recordings.] -- Review by Alex HendersonREPOST with new links |

Формулировка взаимоисключающая, но иначе и не скажешь, поскольку звучание восьмерки музыкантов-виртуозов мощнее любого оркестра. Мировые звезды от Би Би Кинга до Эрика Клэптона и Карлоса Сантаны делили с ними сцену. Семнадцать альбомов, четыре номинации Грэмми, три премии W. C. Handy Blues Awards, звание Best Blues Band, выступления на самых масштабных блюзовых фестивалях И все это нон-стопом, в ритме свинга, соула и блюза уже 35 лет. Их быстрая, безудержная медно-духовая секция, по единодушному признанию публики и критики, - лучшая в современном блюзе. Великий Каунт Бэйси сказал о них: "Самая горячая блюзовая команда, которую я когда-либо слышал"

|
|
 Artist: Art Pepper Album: Live in Japan vol.2 - The Summer Knows Year: 1978, release: Oct 1, 1999 Label: Storyville Quality: mp3@256 kbps + covers Size: 87 mb Art Pepper, legendary alto sax player, is known as one of the greatest jazz artists of his generation. But he always soared far beyond the dated categories of swing and be-bop in his lyricism, technical brilliance, soulfulness, and solid, down-home raunchy sweetness. Art Pepper concluded a very successful tour of Japan with a concert in Yamagata that was recorded and released on two Storyville CDs. This second of two CDs taken from the final night of Art Pepper’’s 1978 Japanese tour features the great altoist (along with pianist Milcho Leviev, bassist Bob Magnusson and drummer Carl Burnett) exploring two of his originals ("The Trip,” and “Red Car"); a lyrical version of Michel Legrand’’s “The Summer Knows” and an intense rendition of “Caravan.” None of the Storyville sets have been reissued elsewhere, and each adds to the remarkable legacy of Art Pepper whose second career (covering 1975-82) was arguably even greater than his first. - AMG |
