Christian Doepke Trio - Adlibs |
Music » Jazz » Modern Jazz |

|
 Artist: Christian Doepke Trio Album: Adlibs Label: Jazz & Milk Year: 2008 Format, bitrate: Mp3, 224 kb/s + 320 kb/s Time: 56:40 Size: 78,8 Mb REPOST with an additional MP3@320 link from Mr. jazzyj In the current hype involving young German jazz pianists an exclamation mark should be added to Christian Doepke’s name. Lyricism and groove should not be contradictory. The same applies to pace, depth and gracefulness, let alone swing and intelligence. In addition, the compositions of the Amsterdam-based pianist also tell wonderful stories, which really dots the i’s. Doepke, a romantic at heart like Bill Evans – who gets a beautiful tribute with Bill’s Mood – as well as a realist in the tradition of Horace Silver, has developed his own signature on the 88 keys with a clear touch and a sovereign technique, that clearly distinguishes him from the German jazz pianist masses. You’ll see someone buckled down to a concert grand, who is equally familiar with sunlit open spaces in a forest and the liveliness of a metropolis, witness „Heaven Knows” and Looking For Trouble”. ~ Dr. Tobias Böcker |

Chick Corea & Lionel Hampton - Chick & Lionel Live at Midem |

 Artists: Chick Corea & Lionel Hampton Album: Chick & Lionel Live at Midem Label: Who's Who In Jazz Year: 1978 Format bitrate: Mp3, 192 kb/s Time: 38:56 Size: 66 Mb (cover) With the breakup of the final Return to Forever, Chick Corea began a long period of freelancing, resulting in some unlikely collaborations. For much of this concert performance, the pianist teams up with veteran vibraphonist Lionel Hampton for some swinging music. Corea is heard without Hamp on "Fiesta" and on singer Gayle Moran's feature on "Come Rain or Come Shine" and joins in with the ageless vibist for "Moments Notice" and the spirited blues "I Ain't Mad at You." Not essential music, but this album is fun. ~ Scott Yanow, AMG From the moment that Chick Corea joined Lionel Hampton on the stage of the Theater du Casino in Cannes, France, the magic of these two great players working together began to happen. The concert at which this recording was made has become a legend in its own time. The two artists were brought together by a common desire to "play" during MIDEM in 1978. Each concert is a showcase for an artist before his peers and the time slots for these performances were coveted. ~ Liner notes |

Pat Metheny - One Quiet Night |
Music » Jazz » Fusion |

|
 Artist: Pat Metheny Album: One Quiet Night Label: Warner Bros. Records Year: 2003 Format, bitrate: mp3, 320kbs Time: 1:05:35 Size: 147 Mb Pat Metheny by himself with an acoustic guitar -- for longtime fans it might not get any better. Always interested in blending jazz with folk and pop, the guitarist does just that, focusing heavily on the folk end of things on One Quiet Night. Featuring a nice afterglow interpretation of Norah Jones' hit "Don't Know Why" and an unexpected reinterpretation of "Ferry Cross the Mersey" which turns the Gerry & the Pacemakers classic into a poignant lament, the album also showcases Metheny as a melodic pop composer. "Song for the Boys" sounds surprisingly like an instrumental take on early-'80s British pop à la the Smiths, while "Last Train Home" brilliantly mixes Metheny's knack for taking simple chord progressions and beautifully tweaking them with odd harmonies. Perhaps a bit light for some straight-ahead jazz fans, listeners interested in thoughtful, folky, jazz-inflected ballads will find this rapturous. ~ Matt Collar, AMG |

John Mayall - In The Palace Of The King |

 Artist: J ohn Mayall Album: In The Palace Of The King Label: Eagle Rock Entertain Year: 2007 Format, bitrate: Mp3, 320 kb/s Time: 59:32 Size: 138 Mb (covers) AMG Rating:  FOR MR. TEDS! It's common knowledge that two of the most renowned blues guitarists of all time happened to share the same last name (no relation though): B.B. King and Albert King. But there was also another "King" of the blues, Freddie King, and while he doesn't seem to rake in the same amount of accolades as the other two players, blues buffs far and wide know Freddie was a force to be reckoned with. And one of his biggest admirers through the years has been John Mayall, whose band, the Bluesbreakers, has been covering Freddie King songs since their inception in the '60s. However, on his 56th album overall (!), Mayall offers an album's worth of songs that Freddie King had either written, inspired, or was "closely associated with," for 2007's In the Palace of the King. Stylistically similar to Mayall's last studio effort (2005's solid Road Dogs), Palace is full of tasty blues guitar throughout, with Buddy Whittington supplying the lion's share of the lead work, especially on such standouts as "Palace of the King." But one of the album's undisputed highlights is "Cannonball Shuffle," an instrumental track that features some fine soloing from Robben Ford (who also solely penned the tune). And for guitarists who are looking to jam along with the album, Mayall was kind enough to list what key each song is in (inside the CD booklet). In the Palace of the King is a much-deserved tribute to one of the blues' greatest yet oft-overlooked guitarists. ~ Greg Prato, AMG |

Koko Taylor - The Queen Live Chicago Concert |

 Artist: Koko Taylor Album: The Queen,Live from Chicago Label:Alligator Year: 1987 Release: 1987 Format, bitrate: MP3, 160 kbps Time: 49:53 Size: 48,7mb Unfortunately, Koko Taylor's only domestic live album to date was cut with one of the lesser incarnations of her band, the Blues Machine, whose work could have displayed considerably more subtlety and swing than it does. Still, the set offers a vivid portrait of Chicago's blues queen in action, with faithful recitals of "Wang Dang Doodle," "I'm a Woman," and "Let the Good Times Roll." ~ Bill Dahl, AMG |

Snooky & Marshal's Album |

|
 Artist: Snooky Young & Marshal Royal Album: Snooky & Marshal's Album Label: Concord Jazz Year: 1978 Format, bitrate: MP3, 320 Kbps Time: 42:43 Size: 85,4 MB Veteran swing trumpeter Snooky Young's second session as a leader finds him co-leading the date with altoist Marshall Royal. Backed by a very supportive rhythm section (pianist Ross Tompkins, rhythm guitarist Freddie Green, bassist Ray Brown and drummer Louie Bellson), the impressive frontline plays pleasing and melodic solos that occasionally get a little heated. Guest vocalist Scat Man Crothers sings his "Mean Dog Blues"; there are recent originals by Ray Brown and Tom Peterson, along with a three-song ballad medley, and the sextet romps on "I Let a Song Go Out of My Heart," "Limehouse Blues" and "Should I." Subtle and tasteful music. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |

Bill Charlap - Stardust |
Music » Jazz » Vocal Jazz |
|
|
 Artist: Bill Charlap Album: Stardust Label: Blue Note Year: 2002 Format: FLAC+CUE+LOG+Covers Size: 394 MB Though his debut on record occurred only eight years prior to Stardust, pianist Bill Charlap has become well known for his lush, poignant reading of the standards. On his second date for Blue Note, Charlap and his rhythm section lovingly re-create 11 songs by songster Hoagy Carmichael, and are joined by some truly big talents. Tony Bennett joins in on a spare arrangement of "I Get Along Without You Very Well," Shirley Horn graces an exceptional "Stardust" (perhaps Carmichael's best-known ballad), and guitarist Jim Hall's robust, muted tone is featured on "Two Sleepy People." However, tenor saxophonist Frank Wess damn near steals the show with his warm, languid playing on "Rockin' Chair" and "Blue Orchids." ~ John Duffy, AMG |

Lee Morgan & Hank Mobley - Monday Nights At Birdland |

 Artists: Lee Morgan & Hank Mobley Album: Monday Nights At Birdland, Complete Recordings Label: Fresh Sounds Spain Year: 1958 Release: 2009 Format, bitrate: MP3, 160 kbps Time: 88 minutes Size: 100mb Birdland was the Mecca for most modernists of the 50s. It was the only club in New York City where a big band could play. Bookings were mostly for solid two-week periods. On Monday nights the regulars were off, and the legendary jazz disk jockey "Symphony Sid" (1909-1984) ran one of his jam sessions with young, up-and-coming, cutting edge local musicians. Anything could happen and frequently did, as these outstanding performances, recorded on two consecutive Monday nights, on April 21 and 28 1958, show.
Anyone who was anyone in 50s jazz was introduced by "Symphony Sid" at Birdland. Here Lee Morgan, not yet 20, gives notice of his exceptional talent, his trumpet clear, biting and full-toned. Trombonist Curtis Fuller, with his unique, French Horn-like sound, shows his flowing conception and great dynamic range. On tenor, Hank Mobley is all ease and authority, while Billy Root swings mightily. And the rhythm section drives them with strength and sensitivity throughout these invigoratingly cohesive blowing sessions by some of the stellar talents of the era. ~ Absolute Distribution |

Friedrich Gulda, Nikolaus Harnoncourt - Mozart. Piano Concertos Nos. 23 & 26 "Coronation" |
Music » Classical music |

|
 Artist: Friedrich Gulda, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra Amsterdam, Nikolaus Harnoncourt Album: Mozart. Piano Concertos Nos. 23 & 26 "Coronation" Year: 1983 Release: 2001 Label: Warner Classics Format, bitrate: MP3, 320 kbps Time: 58:56 Size: 136,6 Mb Born in Vienna in 1930, Friedrich Gulda started piano lessons at the age of seven. At 12 he enrolled in the Vienna Music Academy, and four years later he received first prize in the Geneva International Music Festival. In 1949 Gulda toured Europe and South America, earning international acclaim for his treatments of Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven, and the following year he made a successful debut at Carnegie Hall. He also began recording for Decca around this time. Gulda was often grouped with Jörg Demus and Paul Badura-Skoda; all were young Viennese pianists oriented toward the heart of the city's musical tradition . . . |

John Patton - The Organization! |
Jazz, Soul-Jazz |
|
|
 Artist: John Patton Album: The Organization! Label: Blue Note Year: 1963-1970 Release: 1994 Format, bitrate: mp3, 320 kb/s + flac (full covers) Size: 171 mb + 538 MB REPOST with new links for lossless from Mr. hungaropitecus Super 78-minute anthology of Patton's prime (1963-70) era, unfortunately released only in the U.K., drawn from nine albums. 1963's "Along Came John," and 1966's "Amanda," and the two cuts from his best album, 1965's Let 'Em Roll ( "The Turnaround" and "Latona" ) are particular cookers, but the organ-guitar-horn groove is always solid, and the riffs basic but compelling. This is some of the best soul-jazz ever, usually featuring Grant Green on guitar, though a young James Ulmer takes over on axe for the 1970-era cuts. ~ Richie Unterberger, AMG |
