Very Beautiful, August 18, 2005" These 2 CDs contains the songs of 3 long-plays. My father had all of them.

The first one (Motions and Emotions LP) contains singular recordings (Oscar and Orchestra) that prove the enormous versatility of Oscar. Very beautiful. Listen for example Sunny song sample at Amazon. ~ Flavio Cipparrone, Amazon.com |

1961: Louis Armstrong - A Rare Batch Of Satch |
Traditional Jazz, Armstrong Louis |
 |
 |
 Artist: Louis Armstrong & Various Artists Album: A Rare Batch Of Satch (Ain't Misbehavin') Label: Castle Pulse Year: 1961 Release: 1996 Format, bitrate: mp3, 320kb/s Time: 75 min Size: 144MB REPOST with a new link In the history of jazz, Louis Armstrong towers over all others as an important musician in terms of influence and popularity. His joyous, craggy voice and crackling trumpet style virtually defined jazz in the 1920s and beyond. RARE BATCH captures Armstrong in the company of his under-recorded 1943 orchestra as well as the orchestra of Luis Russell. Taken mostly from radio shows, the sonic quality is quite good and is invaluable as a slice of Armstrong's big-band years (since Armstrong performed with mostly small groups). 21 tracks from 4 radio broadcasts of 1943 with the underrated and barely recorded Louis Armstrong Orchestra with, of course, Louis on trumpet and vocals. Louis Armstrong left us with an abundance of recored music except for his lack of recordings of his "Grab-bag of vintage Armstrong material culled from various sessions, much of which can be found elsewhere in a more coordinated fashion and with more information as well. The music is great, but packaging and sequencing are dubious." ~ Ron Wynn.AMG. |

 Artist: Billie Holiday Album: At Carnegie Hall Label: Verve Year: 1956 Release: 1995 Format, bitrate: mp3, 320kb/s Size: 89+14MB REPOST with new link Billie Holiday's triumph at Carnegie Hall, in the company of old colleagues Buck Clayton, Roy Eldridge, and Coleman Hawkins - as well as in front of younger, devoted accompanists Al Cohn, Chico Hamilton and Tony Scott. "It is impossible to hear Billie Holiday's 1956 Carnegie Hall concert without absorbing some of her pain. Lady Day's life and the message of her songs--heedless love brings bitter rewards--had become indistinguishable....one of the best performances of her decline." JazzTimes - 5/96, pp.75-76 |

 Artists: Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke, Joe Henderson, Lenny White Album: A Very Special Concert Label: Image Entertainment Year: 1982 Release: 1990 Format: Online-video, DVD-5 Time: 57 Minutes DVD-Size: 4,29 Gb REPOSTwith new links This concert features Chick Corea playing with members of the "Return to Forever" band, which includes the legendary players Stanley Clarke on bass, the much celebrated Lenny White on drums plus the multi-GRAMMY© winner Joe Henderson on tenor sax. Songs include "L's Bop," "Why Wait," "500 Miles High," "Guernica." Chick Corea's four-decade career is the stuff of jazz legend, a blend of influential, limit-breaking musical experiences which have filled pages of 20th century music history encyclopedias. Jazz has never been the same since the birth of the samba-flavored ensemble of Return to Forever. ~ AMG |

John Abercrombie - November |
Music » Jazz » BeBop » Post-bop |
 |
 |
 Artist: John Abercrombie Album: November Label: ECM Records Year: 1992 Release: 1993 Time: 68:50 Format, bitrate: MP3, 320 kbps Size: 316 MB Those not inclined towards the less avant roots of the jazz genre might be better served by recommencing their continued investigations into the latest works of longtime ECM stablemate John Abercrombie. NOVEMBER finds the guitarist in a spirited quartet alongside the likes of bassist Johnson, drummer Peter Erskine, and saxophonist John Surman.Though the album has its contemplative side (the lovely "J.S.," penned for and accompanied by Surman's piercing baritone), NOVEMBER's backbone is determined by the less-than-chilly energies of the title track and by European fusion exercises such as "The Cat's Back," where Surman's sax skitters throughout Abercrombie's slithery runs and Erskine's propulsive landscapes. NOVEMBER chooses to hover between free-form flights of fancy and contemplative traditionalist guises, always beguiling and inviting. Abercrombie remains one of contemporary jazz's great, unsung guitarists. ~ cduniverse.com |

Benny Goodman - The Yale Archives Vol. 10 |

 Artist - Benny Goodman Album - The Yale Archives Vol. 10 Label - Music Masters Year - 1963, release - 1996 Quality - MP3@320 kbps Size - 120 mb Total Time - 52:15 REPOST with a new link One of the most beloved jazz groups of all time was the original Benny Goodman Quartet which featured Lionel Hampton, Teddy Wilson and Gene Krupa. Despite its fame, the unit was only actually together for 16 months during 1936-38 and, even with occasional reunions through the decades, the Quartet only recorded one studio record after its original breakup. Yale Archives -- Vol 10 (Music Masters) is comprised of unreleased material from the three sessions that resulted in the 1963 RCA album (which is slated to be reissued again later in 1996). There are second versions of "Who Cares" and "Dearest" and a rehearsal excerpt of the blues "Four Once More" but otherwise the songs are completely different from what was originally relased; only "Liza" had been previously recorded by the classic quartet. It is quite unusual to hear these famous veterans interpreting such numbers as "Loves Ends a Little Gift of Roses," "Bernie's Tune," "East of the Sun" and "It's All Right with Me." Although there are times when one wishes that there were a bassist added and that Krupa would lay a bit easier on his bass drum, the relaxed music does swing and adds to the very rich legacy of Benny Goodman. Incidentally, this is the tenth release of "new" material that is drawn from the scores of private tapes that the King of Swing willed to the Yale University Music Library. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |

Stan Kenton - Kenton Plays the Standards |

 |
 |
 Artist: Stan Kenton Album: Kenton Plays the Standards Label: Jazz Hour Year: 1943 - 1947 Release: 2005 Format, bitrate: mp3, 320kb/s Time: 69:37 Size: 161MB REPOST with a new link It was during the period covered by this Hindsight recording that Stan Kenton caught on and became a household name. These radio performances mostly feature arrangements by Pete Rugolo and Gene Roland although Boots Mussulli contributed a memorable rendition of "I Surrender Dear" and Kenton himself wrote the chart for "Begin the Beguine." Singer June Christy, tenor Vido Musso, trombonist Kai Winding, trumpeter Buddy Childers are the main stars but it is the ensembles and the distinctive arrangements that gave this edition of the Stan Kenton Orchestra its own personality. All of the well-recorded sets in this valuable Hindsight series are recommended to Kenton fans. ~ Scott Yanow, AMG |

Albert King & John Mayall - The Lost Session |

 Artist: Albert King & John Mayall Album: The Lost Session Label: Stax Records Year: 1971 Release: 1986 Format, bitrate: MP3, 192 kb/s Time: 47:46 Size: 66 Mb (covers) The tapes of this Albert King/John Mayall album were discovered by Bill Belmont in 1986 while rummaging through the Stax vaults looking for Albert King tapes for an album of unreleased blues material. It was produced by John Mayall at Wolfman Jack Studios in Los Angeles on August 28, 1971. As to why it wasn't released at the time of its recording, Mayall said "The intent was to make it different from the Stax sound. I accomplished that but also got it canned because Stax obviously couldn't cope with that. It didn't sound like their stuff, so they didn't release it." It is an inspired pairing of King, one of the most influential guitar stylist of the modern blues, and Mayall, the chief conceptualist of the British blues revival of the Sixties. It sounds different from anything King had recorded before or since, a three-way fusion of Mississippi Delta blues, British blues, and Los Angeles jazz. ~ cduniverse.com |
