1967: The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Axis: Bold as Love |
Music » Blues » Modern electric blues » Blues-Rock |

|
 Artist: The Jimi Hendrix Experience Album: Axis: Bold as Love Label: Universal Distribution Year: 1967 Genre: Hard Rock, Blues-Rock, Acid Rock, Psychedelic Format, bitrate: mp3, VBR 256-320 Time: 38:49 Size: 57 mb AMG Rating:  Jimi Hendrix's second album followed up his groundbreaking debut effort with a solid collection of great tunes and great interactive playing between himself, Noel Redding, Mitch Mitchell, and the recording studio itself. Wisely retaining manager Chas Chandler to produce the album and Eddie Kramer as engineer, Hendrix stretched further musically than the first album, but even more so as a songwriter. He was still quite capable of coming up with spacy rockers like "You Got Me Floating," "Up from the Skies," and "Little Miss Lover," radio-ready to follow on the commercial heels of "Foxey Lady" and "Purple Haze." But the beautiful, wistful ballads "Little Wing," "Castles Made of Sand," "One Rainy Wish," and the title track set closer show remarkable growth and depth as a tunesmith, harnessing Curtis Mayfield soul guitar to Dylanesque lyrical imagery and Fuzz Face hyperactivity to produce yet another side to his grand psychedelic musical vision. These are tempered with Jimi's most avant-garde tracks yet, "EXP" and the proto-fusion jazz blowout of "If 6 Was 9." ~ Cub Koda, All Music Guide |

1987: Cassandra Wilson - Days Aweigh |

|
 Artist: Cassandra Wilson Album: Days Aweigh Label: JMT Year: 1987 Format: FLAC & mp3 (320k/s) Size: 257 & 97 MB (scans) Total time: 42:00 The formative years of singer Cassandra Wilson's career found her associated with the M-Base Collective school of eccentric funk. On this set of advanced originals (which also has versions of "Let's Face the Music" and "Some Other Time"), Wilson is the lead voice in dense ensembles that include (on various cuts) cornetist Olu Dara, guitarist Jean-Paul Bourelly, trumpeter Graham Haynes, and altoist Steve Coleman, along with a very active rhythm section. "Some Other Time" is a change of pace, a duet with pianist Rod Williams, but otherwise this is advanced free funk dance music. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |

1956 - Chet Baker Quintet - Live in Florence |

 Artist: Chet Baker Album: Live in Florence Label: Nel Jazz (NLJ 0954-2) Year: 1956 Format MP3, bitrate: 320 kbps Time: 50:52 Size: 116 mb Chet Baker came in Europe for the first time in 1955-56 and remained for about six months, playing in France, Germany, Italy and Denmark. The quantity of the albums that document his performances is exterminate and drives the collectors mad. On 1956 january 24 he gave a concert in Florence (Italy) at the prestigious Conservatorio Cherubini, unissued for many years, and published in CD about twenty years ago. |

1950-1951: Duke Ellington & His Orchestra - Masterpieces By Ellington |

 Artist: Duke Ellington and His Orchestra Album: Masterpieces By Ellington (bonus tracks) Label: Columbia/Sony Music Distribution Years: 1950-1951; release: 2004 Format, bitrate: 320 kbs mp3 Time: 55:31 Size: 129 mb (with covers) AMG Rating  Amazingly, it took Columbia Records until the very end of 1950, two years into the LP era and the transition from disc to magnetic tape recording, to get Duke Ellington and His Orchestra into the studio to cut a long-playing record. For the first time in his recording career, Ellington was able to forego the three-minutes-and-change restrictions in running time of the 78 rpm disc — he and the band rose to the occasion with extended (11-minute-plus) "uncut concert arrangements" of "Mood Indigo," "Sophisticated Lady," and "Solitude," augmented with one splendid newer work, "The Tattooed Bride." And it's taken 15 years into the CD boom before Masterpieces By Ellington has been given the treatment that it deserves. Sony Music of Japan reissued this classic recording in 1998, remastered using the company's 20-bit-based Super Bit Mapping digital system, and results are astonishing — the band sounds like it's in the same room with the listener, and that goes double for the piano and the soloists (including singer Yvonne Lanauze) on "Mood Indigo." Even in this august company, "The Tattooed Bride" is a swinging virtuoso piece that, as everyone present must have known, couldn't possibly have been captured in this manner in any era before this session — this was also one of the last sessions to feature the classic Ellington lineup with Johnny Hodges, Lawrence Brown, and Sonny Greer, before their exodus altered the band's sound, and so it's a doubly precious piece (as is the whole album), among the last written specifically for this lineup. And it now all sounds at least ten years newer than its actual date of recording, packaged in a CD-size recreation of the original '50s jacket design. A U.S. release hasn't been announced, but it's worth the $20 list as an import. (Japanese import) ~ Bruce Eder, All Music Guide |

1990: Kenny Barron - Live at Maybeck Hall |
Music » Jazz » BeBop » Post-bop |

 Artist: Kenny Barron Album: Live at Maybeck Hall Label: Concord Jazz Year: 1990 Quality: mp3; 320 kbps Size: 113 mb Producing a darker tone from the Maybeck Yamaha piano than do some other participants in the series, Kenny Barron gets a chance to flaunt a wider range of his influences than he usually does in a group format. Barron opens with a stride-ish "I'm Getting Sentimental Over You," which sports a few minor fluffs (this is live, folks), and then explores a number of diverse styles under the bop umbrella. Barron's "Bud-Like" has reminiscences of "Un Poco Loco," built on an ostinato bass pattern most of the way, with a witty "Bemsha Swing." As usual with Maybeck, the sound of the hall's bright, brittle Yamaha piano is brilliantly captured. ~ Richard S. Ginell, All Music Guide |

1973: Weather Report - Sweetnighter |

 Artist: Weather Report Album: Sweetnighter Label: Columbia Year: 1973; Release: 1996 Format: Flac (cue+log+scans) Time: 44:38 Size: 3 x 95.3MB + 34.5 MB Right from the start, a vastly different Weather Report emerges here, one that reflects co-leader Joe Zawinul's developing obsession with the groove. It is the groove that rules this mesmerizing album, leading off with the irresistible 3/4 marathon deceptively tagged as the "Boogie Woogie Waltz" and proceeding through a variety of Latin-grounded hip-shakers. It is a record of discovery for Zawinul, who augments his Rhodes electric piano with a funky wah-wah pedal, unveils the ARP synthesizer as a melodic instrument and sound-effects device, and often coasts along on one chord. The once fiery Wayne Shorter has been tamed, for he now contributes mostly sustained ethereal tunes on soprano sax, his tone sometimes doubled for a pleasing octave effect. The wane of freewheeling ensemble interplay is more than offset by the big increase in rhythmic push; bassist Miroslav Vitous, drummer Eric Gravatt, and percussionist Dom Um Romao are now cogs in one of jazz's great swinging machines. ~ Richard S. Ginell, All Music Guide |

 Artist: Max Kaminsky Album: When The Saints Go Marching In / Jazz On The Campus Ltd. 2LP/1CD Label: MGM/RCA Victor (Membran) Years: 1953-1954, release: 2007 Quality: MP3@320 kbps Size: 108 mb (sharebee) Total time: 50:42 Òðàäèöèîííûé äæàç â èñïîëíåíèè âûäàþùåãîñÿ ìóçûêàíòà! Ïðîäîëæàåì çíàêîìñòâî ñ ñàìûìè èíòåðåñíûìè äæàçîâûìè ìóçûêàíòàìè! Over the years Max Kaminsky has contributed so much to the American musical idiom that he is often referred to as "Mr. Jazz". His virtuosity with the trumpet brought him recognition, prestige and adoration by Followerson the jazz cult who heard him as featured artist with such name band dreats as Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller and Benny Goodman. When Artie Shaw and his "famous first" band recorded the alltime hit record "Begin The Beguine", it was Max Kaminsky's "knoodling around" on the trumpet passages thet stood out and won him acclaim. Max established himself with Eddie Condon's jazz group which included Wetting, Brad Gowans, Bud Freeman, Pee Wee Russel and Joe Sullivan - and from time to time he manages to sit in with this group. ~ Membran.com |

1971-1972: Weather Report - I Sing The Body Electric |
Fusion, Jazz-Rock |

|
 Artist: Weather Report Album: I Sing The Body Electric Label: Columbia Year: 1972; Release: 2004 Format: Flac (cue+log+scans) Time: 47:21 Size: 3 x 95.3MB + 36.5 MB Like the weather itself, this band would assume a new shape with virtually every release — and this album, half recorded in the studio and half live in Tokyo, set the pattern of change. Exit Airto Moreira and Alphonse Mouzon; enter percussionist Dom Um Romao, drummer Eric Gravatt, and a slew of cameo guests like guitarist Ralph Towner, flutist Hubert Laws, and others. The studio tracks are more biting, more ethnically diverse in influence, and more laden with electronic effects and grandiose structural complexities than before. The live material (heard in full on the import Live in Tokyo) is even fiercer and showcases for the first time some of the tremendous drive WR was capable of, though it doesn't give you much of an idea of its stream of consciousness nature. ~ Richard S. Ginell, All Music Guide |

1958-1964: Charlie Shavers & Ray Bryant Quartet - Complete Recordings (Disc 1) |
Music » Jazz » Traditional Jazz |
|
|
 Artists: Charlie Shavers& Ray Bryant Quartet Album: Charlie Shavers & Ray Bryant Quartet - Complete Recordings (Disc 1) Label: Lone Hill Jazz Years: 1958-1959 & 1964; release: 2005 Format: (Flac-EAC-Cue-Covers) Time: 74:18 Size: ~ 438MB A trully masterpiece for those who love Shavers & Bryant as major performers(though maybe a bit underrated) on the jazz scene in the 50's/60's. This is the first of a 3 Albums Set that shall be released as soon as possible. Charlie Shavers was one of the greatest jazz trumpeters of all time. He had brilliant technique, a very wide range, his own sound, a witty and swinging style, and gave the impression that he could play anything. Over five CDs, the Lone Hill label has reissued most of Shavers' recordings as a leader from 1954-1964, just skipping an album for Capitol, live sets put out by Hep and Spotlight, a Storyville date and two albums released by Vogue. Complete Recordings, Vol. 1 is a perfect place to start, because this CD reissues a set of French-associated songs (from the album Charlie Digs Paree), an exciting and successful program of Dixieland tunes (from Charlie Digs Dixie) and four numbers from the trumpeter's At Le Crazy Horse Saloon, an album whose contents are split between three CDs in this series. Shavers is heard throughout as the only horn in a quartet, with pianist Ray Bryant on all but the Crazy Horse selections. Sometimes the rhythm section provides a shuffle rhythm (à la Jonah Jones) while at other times they swing conventionally. It is particularly fun to hear the trumpeter tear into the Dixieland repertoire. Shavers is the star throughout and was at the peak of his remarkable powers during this period. It is a pity that he is largely forgotten today, for he was a truly remarkable player. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |

 Artist: Monty Alexander Album: Caribbean Circle Label: Chesky Records Year: Jun 3 - 4, 1992 ; release: 1992 Genre: Piano Jazz Format mp3, bitrate: 320 kb/s Time: 58:13 Size: 141 Mb (full covers) AMG Rating:  First-rate example of connecting diverse styles and traditions. Alexander, a solid soloist well versed in Caribbean music, integrates rhythms from the islands into his solos, yet retains the jazz edge and drive. A great supporting cast as well which includes Slide Hampton and Jon Faddis. - Ron Wynn at All Music Guide |
