1961: Frank Rosolino - Turn Me Loose! |
Music » Jazz » BeBop » Hard-bop |
 |
|
 Artist: Frank Rosolino Album: Turn Me Loose! Label: Reprise/Collectables. Year: 1961; release: 2002 Format, bitrate: MP3,VBR 256 mbps Time: 36:00 Size: 41.3 MB This 1961 release was intended to explore the humorous side of trombonist Frank Rosolino, relying as much on his vocals as his proven skill as an instrumentalist. Sticking mostly to standards and accompanied by a solid rhythm section consisting of pianist Victor Feldman, bassist Charles C. Berghofer, and drummer Irving Cottler, the leader's skills on trombone are never in doubt, but his prowess as an effective jazz vocalist is another matter. Although liner note writer Herb Heinman simply refers to his singing as "offbeat," his nasal sound and the considerable reverb added to every track grow quickly tiresome, although the cover photo is hilarious. Perhaps latecomers to Rosolino's music will have an even greater time thinking of him in a humorous vein; before shooting himself to death in 1978, he shot both of his young sons, killing one and blinding the other. ~ Ken Dryden, AMG |

 Artists: John Lee Hooker Album: Sad and Lonesome Label: Muse (USA) Year: 1979 Release: 1994 Format, bitrate: mp3, 320kb/s Time: 44:32 Size: 88,3+20MB Repost Columbia Encyclopedia: Hooker, John Lee, 1917–2001, American blues singer and guitarist, b. near Clarksdale, Miss. From a cotton-sharecropping family, he learned the blues from his stepfather and various visiting Delta bluesmen, constructing his first instrument from strings made of rubber inner tube nailed to a barn. He left home at 14, sang with gospel groups, and ultimately moved (1943) to Detroit. Hooker made his first recording, the rhythm-and-blues hit “Boogie Chillun” in 1948. Accompanying himself on electric guitar, he recorded more than 100 albums, mainly of slow blues or fast boogies, and toured throughout the United States. After Hooker was “discovered” by the white blues-rockers of the 1960s, he recorded with several rock musicians and influenced a generation of players and singers. Hooker again reached a wide public with his albums The Healer (1989) and Don't Look Back (1997). He won three Grammy awards and was inducted (1991) into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. |

A live performance at the Club Bohemia in New York, this is the first Mingus recording to feature mostly his own compositions. Some are his future standards. Here are his first attempts at future techniques such as combining two songs into one. His bass playing really stands out.~ by Michael Katz, AMG.

Fleetwood Mac - Pious Bird of Good Omen |

 Artist: Fleetwood Mac Album: Pious Bird of Good Omen 2cd Label: Blue Horizon/Sony Music Distribution Year: 1969; release: 2004 Genre: British Blues Format mp3, bitrate: 320 kb/s Time: 36:12 + 1:04:15 Size: 86,8 + 147 Mb AMG Rating:   With songs taken from Fleetwood Mac and Mr. Wonderful, Pious Bird of Good Omen serves as a worthy 12-track compilation of the band's early Peter Green days. Climbing to number 18 in the U.K., the album managed to catapult Fleetwood Mac's version of Little Willie John's "Need Your Love So Bad" into the English charts for the third time, resting at number 42. The album itself was released by Blue Horizon after the group's contract with them had expired, making it one of the best routes in which to explore their mingling of Chicago and British blues. "Albatross," "Black Magic Woman," and "I Believe My Time Ain't Long" are timeless Fleetwood Mac standards, representing some of the band's best pre-Rumours work. Anyone who isn't familiar with Fleetwood Mac's origins should use Pious Bird of Good Omen as a starting point in investigating the first wave of the band, which will almost certainly lead to further interests into albums such as English Rose, Then Play On, and Kiln House, and then into later albums like Bare Trees and Penguin, which reveal subtle yet effective changes in the band's blues sound. But even aside from its purpose as a collection, Pious Bird of Good Omen makes for a terrific laid-back stroll through some of the best British blues music ever made. - Mike DeGagne at All Music Guide |

2009: Joe Lovano Us Five - Folk Art |
Post-bop, Modern Jazz |
|
|
 Artist: Joe Lovano Album: Folk Art Label: Blue Note, Japan Year:rec.Nov 18, 2008,Nov 19, 2008/ rel.May 5, 2009 Format: MP3 @ 320 Kb/s Time: 64:45 Size: 139.4 Mb AMG rating:  To my friends in JBC! Please enjoy.
Jazz is essentially an African-American folk art, elements not lost on Joe Lovano as he presents this all-original program of progressive music. His updated quintet Us Five is one of his freshest units in some time, with bassist Esperanza Spalding, the criminally underrated pianist James Weidman, and two stir-the-pot drummers in Francisco Mela and Otis Brown III. Together they fulfill Lovano's vision as a band that is not afraid to take many chances, stay within a bop-based tradition, and cut loose on many levels in terms of adding diverse elements to this mix of music. Lovano is noticeably restless, using his reliable tenor sax, but also straight alto, clarinet, and taragato. The drummers not only play their standard kits, but ethnic percussion instruments from many continents, while Spalding is maturing and growing exponentially into a formidable voice on her instrument. Weidman is simply brilliant throughout, largely ignored since his early days with Abbey Lincoln until now, but there's no reason he should be so underestimated or slighted. The title track is as intriguing as its concept, dipping into modal jazz via a stairstep melody and slipstream steady swing that staggers slightly (influenced by one beer?) punctuated by the drummer's "solo" and Weidman's outstanding bop step out. Always an outside-the-box thinker, Lovano's tenor stretches in unique, post-Coltrane mannerisms for "Us Five" surrounding his rhythm makers and the chords of the piano, while the band explores improvisation in no time during the wondrous "Ettenro," completely untethered by any standardized structure. The distinctive and most enjoyable "Dibango" is a slightly squawky funk with Lovano on taragato, up in a high, sustained register, a bit goofy, and very reminiscent of Don Pullen's great tune "Big Alice." "Powerhouse" is the straitlaced neo-bop tune a la Thelonious Monk that Lovano has always favored, his clarinet comes out on the delicate, serene soul blues "Page 4," and the appropriately titled "Wild Beauty" is not so much exotic as it is edgy within a ballad framework. Of the many excellent and diverse projects Joe Lovano has produced and won critical acclaim for, this ranks with his very best, as strong an album as he has ever produced, with musicianship at an extremely high level, and well-conceived compositions that continue to identify him a true original.
Folk Art, close to his definitive statement, is highly recommended, and should be considered a candidate for Jazz Album of 2009. ~ by Michael G. Nastos, AMG.

Big Bill Broonzy - Good Time Tonight |

 Artist: Big Bill Broonzy Album: Good Time Tonight Label: Columbia/Legacy Year: 1930 -1940; release: 1990 Genre: Blues Format mp3, bitrate: 320 kb/s Time: 57:05 Size: 131 Mb (cover) AMG Rating:   Broonzy's unflagging gift for felicitous storytelling-purveyed by a sure and steady voice and facile guitar technique-made him one of the notable talents in his adopted home of Chicago throughout the period covered by this twenty-song compilation, 193~40. These ensemble performances, most lost till now, benefit supremely from Columbia's state-of-the-art methods of sound restoration. Note: This set is a fine companion volume to the Yazoo compilations, as most of the material postdates those discs. - Frank John Hadley at Amazon.com |

1971: Horst Jankowski - Jankowskeyboard 2LP |
Music » Jazz » Mainstream |
|
|
 Artist: Horst Jankowski Album: Jankowskeyboard 2LP Label: MPS Year: 1971 Quality: MP3@320 kbps (LP-rip) Size: 177 mb Total time: 77:48 Ïðåäëàãàþ ïîçíàêîìèòüñÿ ñ åù¸ îäíèì ïðåâîñõîäíûì ïèàíèñòîì! I propose to meet with yet another superb pianist! After notching an international hit with the orchestral pop instrumental "A Walk Through the Black Forest," German pianist/composer Horst Jankowski went on to make more jazz-oriented recordings for the German audiophile label MPS. Jankowskeynotes is one of these albums, waxed in 1970 with an assortment of horn players and a vocal group, the Jankowski Singers.
Like many instrumental artists in the '60s, Jankowski's Mercury recordings often straddled the line between pop and jazz; his efforts for MPS, on the other hand, lean more toward the jazz side but retain a good measure of pop accessibility. Part of the crossover appeal can be seen in the track list, which includes Jankowski's adaptations of pop hits such as Burt Bacharach's "I'll Never Fall in Love Again" and "Do You Know the Way to San Jose," as well as a "Beautiful Music" rendition of Jimmy Webb's "Wichita Lineman." "Baroness" incorporates mild jazz-funk elements, including a wah-wah guitar, but isn't funky enough to be categorized as such. Despite the presence of a vocal group and some tightly arranged passages, Jankowski and his session mates stretch out and improvise throughout, keeping one foot planted in the jazz camp. The carefully mastered CD version, released in Germany in 2004, is a straight reissue of the original album with new liner notes. Although the album lacks the repetitive pop hooks that made "A Walk in the Black Forest" so delightful, it displays Jankowski's chops as a jazz pianist and continues his exploration of the possibilities of crossover music. ~ Greg Adams, All Music Guide |

1993: Tommy Flanagan - Let's Play the Music of Thad Jones |

 Artist: Tommy Flanagan Album: Let's Play the Music of Thad Jones Label: Enja records Year: rec. Apr 4, 1993/ rel. 1993 Format: MP 3 @ 320 Kb/s Time: 59:39 Size: 128, 3 Mb AMG rating:  To my friends in JBC! Please enjoy!
This relatively little-known trio set by pianist Tommy Flanagan (with bassist Jesper Lundgaard and drummer Lewis Nash) is a minor classic. Flanagan performs 11 of cornetist Thad Jones's compositions, the majority of which had never been played by a piano trio before. Easily the best-known selection is "A Child Is Born" with "Mean What You Say," "Three in One" and "Quietude" being the closest of the other songs to being standards. But, despite their relative obscurity, this body of work is quite diverse and flexible enough to be covered by other jazz musicians. Congratulations are due Tommy Flanagan for putting together a consistently swinging and tasteful salute to Thad Jones, a very talented composer.~ by Scott Yanow, AMG.

1950-1951: Red Norvo Trio with Tal Farlow & Charlie Mingus - Move |

 Artists: Red Norvo, Tal Farlow & Charles Mingus Album: Move Label: Savoy Jazz Years: 1950-1951, release: 1995 Quality: MP3@320 kbps Size: 138 mb (sharebee) Total time: 64:17 AMG Rating:  Íåîáûêíîâåííî ìåëîäè÷íûé è î÷åíü ïðèÿòíûé àëüáîì! Although vibraphonist Red Norvo had been on records for nearly 20 years and had been a pacesetter in both swing and bop, it was when he formed his trio with guitarist Tal Farlow and bassist Charles Mingus in 1950 that he found the perfect setting for his vibes. The interplay between the three masterful musicians on the 20 performances included on this Savoy double-LP (issued by Arista in 1976) is quite memorable with many classic performances. Highlights include "Little White Lies," "Swedish Pastry," "Godchild," "Move," and "Deed I Do," among many others. This two-fer is highly recommended, particularly since Savoy has not yet released all of the music on CD. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |

1976: Lou Rawls - All Things In Time |

|
 Artist: Lou Rawls Album: All Things In Time Label: The Right Stuff Year: 1976 Format, Bit Rate: Mp3 320 Kbps Time: 38:40 Size: 91,3 Mb Lou Rawls's first Gamble & Huff-produced album brings this veteran jazz singer into the R&B mainstream without jettisoning his ties to a big-band musical style. Understated elegance characterizes a production that mixes Count Basie/Joe Williams-influenced pop jazz ("You're the One") with theatrical pop (Bricusse and Newley's "Pure Imagination") and light disco ("You'll Never Find Another Love like Mine"). More sophisticated than most Gamble & Huff projects, All Things in Time shows off Rawls's virile voice to nice effect. |

The set demonstrates how exceptionally gifted the guitarist was — he's playing arrangements and rhythms that several subsequent generations were never able to completely figure out. Blind Blake was one of the finest acoustic guitarists of the '20s and '30s and this is the definitive compilation. - Thom Owens at All Music Guide |
