1923-1931: The Original Memphis Five - Columbias 1923-1931 |
Jazz, Traditional Jazz, New Orleans Jazz |
 |
|
 Artist: The Original Memphis Five Album: Columbias 1923-1931 Label: Retrieval records Years: 1923-1931, release: 2000 Format, bitrate: mp3, 320kb/s Time: 76:01 Size: 90,5+70,7 MB Repost by request (with new links from Mr.lex) The Original Memphis Five may have been geographically challenged (they weren't from Memphis, or North or South Carolina, either, even though they also recorded as the Carolina Cotton Pickers, but were actually based in New Orleans) but they certainly didn't entertain idleness, recording over 400 sides between forming in 1917 and disbanding in 1931. Led by the trumpet of Phil Napoleon and featuring at various times Miff Mole or Charles Panelli on trombone and Jimmy Lytell on clarinet, and sometimes the trombone and clarinet brother duo of Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey, the Original Memphis Five were a clear, melodic, and swinging ensemble, and the group's best tracks are as joyous as the arrival of warm spring weather. This set collects all of their Columbia sides from between 1923 and 1931, including "Walk, Jenny, Walk!," two versions of the group's signature "St. Louis Gal" (one done early and one done late in their Columbia stay, making it easy to hear the rapid advancements in the recording technology of the day just by comparing the two), "It Ain't Gonna Rain No Mo'," "How Come You Do Me Like You Do," and the sparkling "Throw Down Blues." Obviously there is a lot more to the story (like some 375 tracks more), but this collection will give listeners a pretty good idea of what Napoleon and Company brought to the table. ~ Steve Leggett, All Musjc Guide |

 ÔÈÀËÊÈ ïî ÑÐÅÄÀÌ (âûïóñê 78)  Composer: Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky Artist: Erich Kunzel & Cincinnati Pops Orchestra Album: Tchaikovsky: 1812 Overture Label: Telarc Year: 1998-1999; release: May 22, 2001 Format, bitrate: mp3, 320 kbps Time: 1h, 1min, 40 sec Size: 148 mb.

Eric Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra have a new rendition of the celebratory classic, one that includes choral work from the Kiev Symphony Chorus, along with some of the most impressive cannons and bells heard to date. Over 20 years ago, this adventurous conductor/ensemble pairing inaugurated the legendary Telarc label with their 1978 debut version of the battle hymn. Creating a more dramatic picture, the ensemble has now produced a performance to surpass their landmark interpretation, using the new DSD (direct stream digital) recording process. This enables a finely tuned, three-dimensional listening experience. Ready to put your speakers to the test, it gives the listener the "best seat in the house" by capturing the vibrant ambience of Cincinnati's world-famous Music Hall with precise detail.
Other prominent works included are "March Slave," "Capriccio Italien," and the "Festival Coronation March." All are performed with depth and power, all the while stirring with grandiose lyricism. Rising to the occasion, Kunzel proves that with the aid of new recording technologies and a world-class orchestra, some of the most striking and poetic renditions of the standard repertoire are yet to come. ~ arkivmusic.com |

1965: Louis Armstrong - In Prague Lucerna Hall (Live Recording) |
Swing, Mainstream |
|
|
 Artist: Louis Armstrong Album: In Prague Label: Panton Records Year: 1965; Release: 1980 Format, bitrate: Flac Time: 0:46:44 Size: 544MB (with scans) Satchmo's position as one of the great ambassadors of jazz certainly led him to even more exotic points that Prague, at the time of this recording the capital of the since-divided country of Czechoslovakia. In fact, there are many places the bubbling New Orleans trumpeter and vocalist went that probably lacked sufficient equipment to record one of his shows live, let alone release the results on a national recording label. The Czechs waited more than a dozen years to put out this concert from Lucerna Hall, where Satchmo appeared with his group of the time, known as the All-Stars despite the fact that a few of them were maybe a bit more like also-rans. Satch could have carried the whole show if he wanted to, and a good portion of this album is made up of hammy material that everyone would expect him to do. This is also material that listeners may not feel they need more recordings of in their collection such as "Hello Dolly" and "When It's Sleepy Time Down South," and if titles such as these make one cringe, then steer wide of this album, since the audience was so wild about this material that the bandleader even reprises it at the end in an encore medley. There is some spritely playing from Satchmo, trombonist Tyree Glenn, and clarinetist Eddie Shu once the band settles into the jazzier numbers, such as "Indiana." ~ Eugene Chadbourne, All Music Guide |

 Artist: Tommy Flanagan Label: OJC/Prestige Album: The Tommy Flanagan Trio Year: 1957, release: 1992 Quality: MP3 320 Kbps Size: 84,62 mb Total Time: 34:31 Since this set (reissued on CD) was originally recorded for the Prestige subsidiary Moodsville, most of the selections are taken at slow tempoes. With bassist Tommy Potter and drummer Roy Haynes giving the pianist fine support, the trio cooks a bit on Flanagan's "Jes' Fine" but otherwise plays such songs as "You Go to My Head," "Come Sunday" (which is taken as a solo piano feature) and "Born to Be Blue" quietly and with taste. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |

1973: Buddy Rich - The Roar of '74 |
Modern Big Band, Fusion |
|
|
 Artist: Buddy Rich Album: The Roar of '74 Label: Groove Merchant Year: 1973, release: 1990 Quality: MP3@320 kbps Size: 77,3 mb Total time: 41:03 AMG Rating  In late 1973, the Buddy Rich big band still featured the explosive drummer in prime, competitive form. The orchestra's key soloist during the era was Pat LaBarbera (doubling on tenor and soprano); guitarist Joe Beck also has a spot on "Big Mac." The charts (by Ernie Wilkins, John LaBarbera, Manny Albam, Greg Hopkins and Don Menza) for this album emphasize hard-driving swing, with the highlights including "Nuttville," "Senator Sam" and Menza's memorable "Time Check." ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |

1962-1963: Nina Simone - Sings Duke Ellington / At Carnegie Hall |

 Artist: Nina Simone Album: Nina Sings Duke Ellington! / At Carnegie Hall Label: Collectibles Records COL-CD-6414 Years: 1962-1963 ; release: June 6, 2000 Format, bitrate: flac+cue+log+art; mp3@320+art Time: 61 mins Size: 286Mb; 141Mb AMG Rating This Collectables package pairs Nina Simone's 1962 Colpix release Sings Duke Ellington and At Carnegie Hall from the following year. Eighteen tracks in all with over 68 minutes of music make this an attractive package for fans of the talented vocalist and pianist. ~ Al Campbell, All Music Guide This two-for-one CD spotlights one of jazz's great song stylists. Few singers were as unique as Nina Simone; Her deep voice and rapid vibrato made her instantly recognizable. She was also a stunning pianist, and the second half of this CD--her Carnegie Hall performance--spotlights her instrumental skills as well as her singing.
Not surprisingly, NINA SINGS DUKE ELLINGTON features many classic jazz tunes. Simone sings ballads such as "I Got It Bad" and "Solitude" with intense emotional vulnerability. With the exception of Billie Holiday, few singers have such a natural gift for musical expression. NINA SIMONE AT CARNEGIE HALL is more understated and dark. Comprised of torch songs and movie themes, this album contains only ballads. This doesn't always include vocal numbers either. For example, Simone's piano is showcased extremely well on "Theme from Samson and Delilah." Simone performs this piece like a refined classical pianist, employing Chopin-esque trills and strident forearm chords. In fact, her reading of this movie theme just may be the most eyebrow-raising moment on this disc.~ CD Universe |
