1954-1955: Tony Fruscella & Brew Moore Quintet - The 1954 Unissued Atlantic Session |
Cool, West Coast Jazz |
 |
|
 Artists: Tony Fruscella & Brew Moore Album: The 1954 Unissued Atlantic Session Label: Fresh Sound Records Years: 1954-1955; release: 2011 Format: MP3@320 Time: 61:30 Size: 134 MB Never before released in any format! These recordings are among the rarest treasures in jazz, unseen and unheard since Atlantic produced them in 1954, and their release can be considered an event for all the jazz community. This was a relaxed and easy session, essentially valuable for the musicians involved, trumpeter Tony Fruscella (1927-1969), and tenor Brew Moore (1924-1973), most particularly for the former, who died at 42.
Fruscella who never enjoyed the recognition he deserved, was a poet of the trumpet with a veiled, haunting sound and a touching, very personal conception. The other unsung hero of this date is Brew Moore, a warm, emotional swinger whose musical god was Lester Young. A relaxed and swinging, but subtle and sophisticated player, for this date he assembled the kind of quintet he was most at home with, to play the sort of things they played in clubs, mostly variations on major and minor blues, and a delightfully original swinger by pianist Bill Triglia. Kindred spirits all, they speak with a shared pleasure and freshness undimmed by the years since then.
An addition to this legendary session are two sides recorded in 1955 while the trumpeter was member of Stan Getz’s quintet, which project all the lyrical fire for which the group was celebrated. ~ freshsoundrecords.com |

1980: Sun Ra: A Joyful Noise DVD |

 Artist: Sun Ra Album: A Joyful Noise (DVD) Label: Win Star Release year: 1980 Format: AVI (DVD RIP) Duration: 59 Min Size: 4,34 GB This hour-long documentary from cinematographer Robert Mugge features the avant-garde and free jazz of Sun Ra and his Arkestra at various locations throughout their native Philadelphia. The film not only examines their public performance persona, but also the bandmembers' respective roles as private citizens and community leaders throughout the Germantown section of Philly. Viewers uninitiated to Sun Ra's decidedly unique free-form approach to music or his deeply spiritual presence may fail to fully comprehend the highly advanced nature of Ra's work. As longtime Arkestra member John Gilmore (tenor sax) relates, "[Ra] was the first to introduce me to the higher forms of music...past what Bird [aka Charlie Parker] or Monk were doing." The extreme difficulty inherent in the arrangements attracted a very highly stylized coterie of musicianship within the context of the band's open-door personnel policy. Another interview segment features a laid-back discussion between Eloe Omoe (woodwind/percussion), Danny Thompson (baritone sax/percussion), and James Jacson (oboe/drums/bassoon/percussion/flute) as they elucidate on the Arkestra's unusual communal living quarters at 5626 Morton Street in the City of Brotherly Love. They unanimously agree that by fully immersing themselves in their craft, they have become exceedingly skilled and disciplined enough to be able to perform such advanced music. This is further demonstrated by several clips of rehearsals as Ra teaches each section their respective parts to a new arrangement. The performances come from a variety of locales, including high atop the roof of the Philadelphia International Center, as well as the Baltimore, MD-based Famous Ballroom and Left Bank Jazz Society Inc.. There is also footage of a special gig at Danny's Hollywood Palace in Philly. This show featured a "Requiem for Trevor Johnson," a former Arkestra member who had recently passed. Among the notable inclusions are "Astro Black," "Along Came Ra," and "We Travel the Spaceways" featuring vocalist June Tyson, as well as a profound rendering of "'Round Midnight." As explained by Ra during the video's waning moments, the title A Joyful Noise is derived directly from Sun Ra's core philosophy that the sounds he and his Arkestracreate fulfill the Old Testament scripture (Psalm 100) to "make a joyful noise unto the Lord." ~ Lindsay Planer, All Music Guide |

Johnson and the tenors of Eddie Davis and Zoot Sims) back up veteran Kansas City blues singer Big Joe Turner on one of his better later albums.

1995: Gerry Hemingway Quintet - Slamadam |
Post-bop, Modern Jazz, Avantgarde |
|
|
 Artist: Gerry Hemingway Quintet Album: Slamadam Label: Random Acoustics Year: 1994; release: 1995 Format, bitrate: mp3, 320 Size: 145 mb AMG Rating:  It's rare that an actual jazz date makes an appearance on the Random Acoustics label, so when one does rise up from the noisy improv ether, listeners are sure to pay attention. The Gerry Hemingway Quintet was an under-recorded unit chock-full of masterful players: Mark Dresser bass; Ernst Reijseger, cello; Michael Moore, saxophones and clarinet; Wolter Wierbos, trombone; and of course Hemingway, the man behind the kit. This disc is culled from a trio of performances from 1991 to 1993. While excerpts from concerts are usually unsatisfying for lack of continuity, this batch is different largely because it features live recordings of material that appeared on studio records before this compilation. For example, the version here of the title track is one that almost picks up in the middle of the version that appeared on the HatART disc Demon Chaser. The splattering tension that revs itself into a frenzy and threatens to go off its nut was only hinted at in the studio piece, which is therefore completed in this rendering. "Threnody/Taffia 2" is a live medley of "Threnody for Charles Mingus," which appeared on Outerbridge Crossing on the Sound Aspects label, and there is also a cruelly intense second half of "Taffia" from the HatART disc Special Detail. The Wierbos solo is meltdown fine and Hemingway's creation of a counterpoint with the dual bassing notions of Dresser and Reijseger swings for the fences of blues harmony. Also notable is the quintet version of "If You Like," which pits Dresser and Reijseger against one another in a duel to the death of harmonic invention and scalar intrigue, all the while swinging within a hard bop/blues framework with Hemingway triple-time soloing all around them, creating a an almost impossible contrapuntal situation as Wierbos and Moore hold down the swing in lyrical elegance. This is just an awesome disc. Period.~ Thom Jurek, All Music Guide |

 Artist: Sonny Lester Orchestra Album: Ann Corio presents How to Strip for Your Husband (Music to Make Marriage Merrier) And More... (2LP/1CD) Label: Collectors' Choice Music Years: 1962-63; Release: 2010 Format, bitrate: MP3, CBR 320 Time: 58:47 Size: 136 Mb (with scans) Òàêîé âîò àëüáîì ñ ôðèâîëüíûì íàçâàíèåì è ñòîëü æå ïðèÿòíîé è ëåãêîé ìóçûêîé!  In the late 1950s, the emergence of Playboy Magazine and the appearance of "nudie cutie" movies like The Immoral Mr. Teas had made burlesque seem passé in the eyes of many, and by 1962, the art of the striptease was far enough out of fashion to become a nostalgia item. In 1959, Gypsy, the musical about the life of burlesque star Gypsy Rose Lee, was a hit on Broadway, and two years later, Ann Corio, who had been a well-known "peeler" in the '40s and '50s, launched her stage revue This Was Burlesque, which re-created the baggy-pants comedy and sexy dance numbers that were burlesque's bread and butter. The show jump-started Corio's career and was in production in New York or on the road until the early '90s; inspired by the success of the show, Roulette Records (who had released This Was Burlesque's original cast recording) teamed with Corio to produce the 1962 album How to Strip For Your Husband: Music to Make Marriage Merrier, an LP featuring a dozen sassy, rhythm-heavy numbers pattered after the musical accompaniment favored by vintage ecdysiasts, along with liner notes by Corio offering advice to women eager to put some spark in their relationships by learning to disrobe creatively. The album did well enough to prompt a sequel, and Collectors' Choice Music has reissued How to Strip for Your Husband and More How to Strip for Your Husband on a single CD. Sonny Lester arranged and conducted the orchestra for both albums, and had a hand in writing ten of the twelve selections on the first collection (the other two came from the Irving Berlin catalog). The first album has a broad, brassy feel, with the drums prominent in the arrangements and slide trombone and occasional whistles accentuating the bump and grind of the music (while the opening track comes as close to re-creating David Rose's "The Stripper" as possible without incurring a plagiarism suit). The second album is significantly more subdued and features a few more outside writers (including an arrangement of "Lullaby of Birdland"); it recalls a latter day big-band set, with noticeably more sophistication in its swing and a tight ensemble playing the charts with noticeable skill and enthusiasm. This disc makes for fun listening even though the same themes pop up over and over, and both then and now it provides effective accompaniment for aspiring amateur strip teasers; Corio's original liner notes are also included, which feature such words of wisdom as "Nothing looks better on a woman than anatomy!" ~ Mark Deming, All Music Guide |

 Artist: Sonny Rollins Album: Old Flames Label: Milestone Records Year: 1993; release: 2008 Quality: MP3@320 kbps Size: 123 mb Total time: 56:09 By request Sonny Rollins mostly sticks to standard ballads on this excellent CD which finds him joined by trombonist Clifton Anderson, pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist Bob Cranshaw, drummer Jack DeJohnette and, on two selections, a five-piece brass choir arranged by Jimmy Heath. Comfortable and occasionally passionate music by one of the classic tenor-saxophonists. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |

1955-1966: Various - Ultra-Lounge Volume Seventeen - Bongo Land |

 Artists: VA Album: Ultra-Lounge Volume Seventeen - Bongo Land Label: Capitol Years: 1955-1966, release: 1997 Quality: MP3@320 kbps Size: 157 mb Total time: 71:24 Åñëè âû íå ëþáèòå ðèòìè÷íóþ ìóçûêó, ýòîò àëüáîì íå äëÿ âàñ! Ïðåâîñõîäíûé ñáîðíèê äëÿ âå÷åðèíêè, à òàêæå ïðè ïîñëåäóþùåì óòðåííåì...ãì...ïðîáóæäåíèè! REPOST by request The lounge songs of the '50s and '60s on this compilation are all dominated by the pulsating rhythms of the bongo drum. As with other instrument-specific CDs in the Ultra Lounge series (Saxophobia, Organs in Orbit), it can be too much. However, there is some great mood music here, perfect for creating a Latin-tinted party ambience. "Taboo," by Leo Arbaud, is especially exotic, while "Nightmare," by Joe Loco, is the song to choose if you want your mai tai drinkers to dance. The Middle Eastern go-go dancer take pairing Rudy Vallee's "Deep Night" with Hammerstein's "Softly as in a Morning Sunrise" is ultra-strange. And how can you go wrong with a cover of Duke Ellington's "Caravan" by Dick Hyman? Bongoland largely features lesser-known acts who scored even lesser-known films, but a few of the Kings of Lounge are included: Martin Denny's "Young Savages" and "On Green Dolphin Street/Hernando's Hideaway" and Les Baxter's "Balinese Bongos" are here. Baxter and Billy May are also co-credited with a newly minted tune titled "Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White." As with many Ultra Lounge CDs, the majority of the album focuses on soundtrack music and pre-'50s pop standards. Warning: If you are not naturally drawn to a song's rhythm, this is the wrong CD for you! A perfect compilation for a party night and the worst for a hangover morning. ~ JT Griffith, All Music Guide |

1965: Henry Grimes - The Call |
Hard-bop, Freejazz |
|
|
 Artist: Henry Grimes Album: The Call Label: ESP-Disk Year: 1965 ; Release: 2003 Format, bitrate: MP3 320 Kbps Time: 33:36 Size: 87.5 MB AMG rating: The mysterious bassist Henry Grimes, who disappeared altogether in 1967, only led this one recording session; it has been reissued on CD. Although Grimes played in a wide variety of settings in the late 1950s, he was working exclusively in the avant-garde by 1965. Teamed with clarinetist Perry Robinson in one of his earliest recordings and the obscure drummer Tom Price, Grimes gets a fair amount of solo space on these six group originals. However, it is for Robinson's playing that the adventurous but not overly memorable disc is chiefly recommended.~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |
