1960: Eric Dolphy Quintet – Outward Bound |
Music » Jazz » Modern Jazz » Avantgarde |

 Artist: Eric Dolphy Quintet Album: Outward Bound (Remastered) Label: New Jazz Prestige Year: 1960 Time: 38:17 Format: FLAC Size: (90MB x 2) + 76.46MB (with covers) AMG Rating  This very likable set, Eric Dolphy's first as a leader, has been reissued as a single CD and (along with some alternate takes) on Dolphy's huge The Complete Prestige Recordings box set. Teamed up with the young trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, pianist Jaki Byard, bassist George Tucker, and drummer Roy Haynes, Dolphy introduces his tribute to Gerald Wilson, "G.W.," and rips into "On Green Dolphin Street," stretches out on flute on "Glad to Be Unhappy," and takes a memorable bass clarinet solo on the delightful "Miss Toni." Hubbard and Byard are also both in good form. A perfect introduction to Eric Dolphy's versatile talents, this boppish set is more accessible than many of Dolphy's more innovative recordings. Recommended. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |

1975: Muddy Waters - The Muddy Waters Woodstock Album |

 Artist: Muddy Waters Album: The Muddy Waters Woodstock Album Label: MCA Chees Year: 1975; release: 1995 Genre: Electric Chicago Blues, Slide Guitar Blues. Format mp3, bitrate: 320@kbps Time: 43:45 Size: 90,06 MB Of all the post-Fathers & Sons attempts at updating Muddy's sound in collaboration with younger white musicians, this album worked best because they let Muddy be himself, producing music that compared favorably to his concerts of the period, which were wonderful. His final album for Chess (recorded at Levon Helm's Woodstock studio, not in Chicago), with Helm and fellow Band-member Garth Hudson teaming up with Muddy's touring band, it was a rocking (in the bluesy sense) soulful swansong to the label where he got his start. Muddy covers some songs he knew back when (including Louis Jordan's "Caldonia" and "Let The Good Times Roll"), plays some slide, and generally has a great time on this Grammy-winning album. This record got lost in the shuffle between the collapse of Chess Records and the revival of Muddy's career under the auspices of Johnny Winter, and was forgotten until 1995. The CD contains one previously unreleased number, "Fox Squirrel." ~ Bruce Eder, All Music Guide |

1951-1967: Ultra Lounge, Vol. 08 Cocktail Capers - Mondo Space-Age Bachelor Pad A-Go-Go! |

 Artists: VA Album: Ultra Lounge, Vol. 08 Cocktail Capers - Mondo Space-Age Bachelor Pad A-Go-Go! Label: Capitol Years: 1951-1967, release: 1996 Genre: Pop-jazz, vocal, smooth & lounge Quality: MP3@320 kbps Size: 123 mb (with scans) Total time: 56:01 Ñóááîòíèé ïîäàðîê äëÿ ìîèõ äðóçåé! If you've been following the Ultra-Lounge series this far, you know what to expect: a mixture of stars (Les Baxter, Nelson Riddle) and no-names from the Capitol vaults, playing space age pop/cocktail music of all hues in the 1950s and 1960s. Yet this has an edge over most of the previous titles in the series: there's more of a sense of swing, groove, even (dare we say) danger on much of this, albeit danger of a very safe sort. Hints of rock'n'roll and spy music even creep in from time to time, with James Bond-type reverb guitar decorating cuts like Al Caiola's "Underwater Chase," and top rock & roll session drummer Earl Palmer getting into the bongo/lounge vibe on "Binga Banga Bongo/Percolator." Another highlight is the highly sought-after theme song to Stanley Kubrick's 1962 film Lolita, performed as a tongue-in-cheek rock & roll satire by Nelson Riddle (with surfish twangy guitar, orchestration, and a chipper chorus of young girls adding wordless "ya-ya" vocals throughout). ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide |

2005: The Vandermark 5 - The Color of Memory |
Post-bop, Modern Jazz, Avantgarde |

 Artist: The Vandermark 5 Album: The Color of Memory Label: Atavistic Records Year: 2005 Format, bitrate: mp3, 320 Size: (94 mb/82 mb) AMG Rating:  ”a modern-day band for the jazz ages.” - Penguin Guide To Jazz The Vandermark 5 return with a whopping double-disc set of new studio recordings. Recorded in Chicago during July of 2004, the band includes Kent Kessler, Jeb Bishop, Tim Daisy, and Dave Rempis. There are seven compositions across these discs, all of them dedicated to musicians, artists, and even a rock band, all of whom have left their mark in some way before passing into history — whether mainstream or obscure. Also, it's interesting to note that live, early versions of three of the pieces here — "Camera" (for Edward Weston), "That Was Now" (for the Volcano Suns), and "Pieces of the Past" (for Joseph H. Lewis) — appeared on the Alchemia box set from the NotTwo label in Poland. Simply put, this is the most diverse outing the V5 have ever done. Vandermark's compositional skill relies deeply on the blues on "Suitcase" (for Ray Charles, Elvin Jones, and Steve Lacy), and his sense of harmonic counterpoint and invention has moved to an entirely new level — check out the interplay between Vandermark and Bishop. The driving three-horn front line on "That Was Now" walks a tightrope between hard bop and free jazz. On disc two's "Vehicle" (for Magnus Broo), the blues once again shows its face; first, there's the slowly developing head that sounds like Yusef Lateef could have written it with its Eastern tinge, and then there's the front line exploding into a deep groove along an African motif that echoes Fela and Shango. But the tune itself is a driving, beat-conscious exercise in melodic and modal interplay that keeps the blues feel throughout and swings like mad. There are freer pieces here, too, such as the lovely bass/soprano duo that begins "Road Work" (for Merce Cunningham) and the truly moving and beautifully spacious "Camera" (for Edward Weston), the longest work here. It's a study in elegance, spatial inquiry, and textural restraint. The longer these bandmembers play together, the closer to the bone Vandermark's writing gets for them, and the more they open the music from the inside out. The Color of Memory is the finest and most adventurous set yet from one of the finest bands to emerge from North America in the last 20 years.~ Thom Jurek, All Music Guide |

2006: Thomas Quasthoff - Jazz Album: Watch What Happens |

 Artist : Thomas QUASTHOFF Album : Jazz Album: Watch What Happens Label : Deutsche Gramophone Format : MP3/ 192 kbps [b]File : 77 MB Òî́ìàñ Êâà́ñòõîôô (íåì. Thomas Quasthoff; ðîä. 9 íîÿáðÿ 1959, Õèëüäåñõàéì, Ãåðìàíèÿ) — íåìåöêèé îïåðíûé, êàìåðíûé è äæàçîâûé ïåâåö (áàñ-áàðèòîí) The great German bass-baritone Thomas Quasthoff has done some astonishing things in his career, even appearing on-stage in the role of Amfortas in Wagner's +Parsifal. This, though, has to be the widest left turn that Quasthoff has made yet, a "jazz" album of 12 American pop standards. Yeah, sure, other classical singers have done it, often with crossover dollars or Euros in mind, almost always with laughably pompous, treacly or condescending results. Quasthoff claims that he had experience singing jazz per se early in his career, but so did singers like Kiri Te Kanawa and Renée Fleming -- neither of whom sound convincing in pop.>>> |

1984: Alvin Batiste - Musique D'Afrique Nouvelle Orleans |

 Artist: Alvin Batiste Album: Musique D'Afrique Nouvelle Orleans Label: India Navigation Year: 1984 Format, bitrate: mp3@320kb/s Time: 40:15 Size: 94MB AMG rating Few musicians are more deserving of honors than Alvin Batiste. As an instrumentalist, a composer and an educator, he has been a central figure in shaping modern music for the past half century, and the ten tracks on Alvin Batiste provide a too-rare glimpse of a giant who has spent far too much of his career out of the limelight. Batiste was born in New Orleans in 1932, and is among the rare artists who have created a modern approach to improvising on the clarinet. ~ jpop.com |

2010: Ornette Coleman - Quintet & Quartet / Too Much, Too Soon ! (3 Lps On 2 Cd) |

 Artist: Ornette Coleman  Album: Quintet & Quartet / Too Much, Too Soon ! (3 Lps On 2 Cd) Label: Fresh Sound Records Year: 1958-1959 Release: 2010 Format, bitrate: mp3, 320kb/s Size: 2 CD - 131 & 151MB Dear BlackB, Happy Birthday To You! With his harsh, shrill tone and weird white plastic alto saxophone, Ornette Coleman’s sudden arrival on the unsuspecting late 50s jazz scene came as an out-of-the-blue shock.
On his first album, ”Something Else!” he was accompanied by his pocket-trumpet-playing partner Don Cherry and a traditional piano-bass-drums rhythm section. In the light of his later work it was an immature debut. The feel of his themes recalled the early Parker-Gillespie quintets, unjustly casting him back to the days of early bop. His subsequent albums—”Tomorrow Is the Question” and ”The Shape of Jazz to Come”—dropped the piano, and a responsive bass allowed his music to come through vividly, more reassuring and provocative. His voice was his alone, and the quartet’s playing as a unit was cohesive and empathetic. He proved he was not just ”another Parker”. His essential contribution to jazz was himself. Many critics and musicians thought he would point the way to a new direction in jazz, while others felt he had been pushed into the limelight before his time.
Ornette Coleman has always been bigger than life and, quite often, far ahead of his peers. But his debut was, for some, too much, too soon.~ Jordi Pujol, from the CD liner notes |
