1958-1961: Mel Torme - Torme ( bonus tracks) |
Music » Jazz » Vocal Jazz |
 |
|
 Artist: Mel Torme Album: Torme ( bonus tracks) Label: Verve Years: 1958-1961; release: 2005 Quality: MP3@320 kbps Size: 113 mb Total time: 53:00 By request Most of Mel Torme's albums for Verve and Bethlehem during the 1950s concentrated on material either carefree (usually up-tempo) or reflective (mostly down-tempo), but 1958's Torme blended the two. For every bouncy single like "That Old Feeling" or "I'm Gonna Laugh You Out of My Life," Torme sinks into the depths with "Gloomy Sunday," "The House Is Haunted (By the Echo of Your Last Goodbye)," or his dramatic eight-minute reading of "Blues in the Night." All this makes for a bit of emotional confusion while listening to Torme, but the LP pulls together for the most part. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide |

1994: Jacky Terrasson - Jacky Terrasson |
Jazz, Mainstream |
|
|
 Artist: Jacky Terrasson Album: Jacky Terrasson Label: Blue Note Year: 1994 Format, bitrate: FLAC Time: 55:17 Size: 260 MB (inc. covers) AMG rating:  Repost with a flac link from mr. hungaropitecus Jacky Terrasson delights in turning standards inside out. On his eponymously titled debut CD he gives odd rhythms to "I Love Paris," purposely speeds up and slows down the tempo on "Bye Bye Blackbird," takes "I Fall in Love Too Easily" very slowly, does his best to disguise "Bye Bye Blackbird," and shows a grasp of dynamics worthy of Ahmad Jamal. It is fortunate that bassist Ugonna Okegwo and drummer Leon Parker are very alert (or perhaps well-rehearsed), because to the uninitiated listener these eccentric and rather quirky performances are often quite unpredictable and occasionally jarring. Well worth checking out.~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |

2001: Esbjörn Svensson Trio - Strange Place For Snow |
Music » Jazz » Modern Jazz » Avantgarde |

|
 Artist: Esbjörn Svensson Trio Album: Strange Place For Snow Label: ACT Year: 2001; release: 2003 Quality: mp3@320 kb/s Size: 163 mb (with covers) E.S.T.'s second U.S. outing offers palatable, often lively acoustic jazz with tantalizing electronic flourishes. It's similar in thrust to the trio's 2001 U.S. debut, Somewhere Else Before, but not as strong melodically. Still, leader/pianist Esbjörn Svensson, bassist Daniel Berglund, and drummer Magnus Öström deliver some heated improvisational exchanges, particularly later in the program on the speedy, almost Mehldau-esque "When God Created the Coffee Break" and the post-bop boogaloo blues "Spunky Sprawl." The trio loses their focus at times, like on the overly long "Behind the Yashmak" and the strangely inert "Serenade for the Renegade." But at their best, E.S.T. displays an alluring lyricism and a subtle, creative use of processed sounds. Öström's drum parts, too, are well-crafted and contemporary. (There's a hidden track at the end, and like the one on Somewhere Else Before, it's a bit out of character.) ~ David R. Adler, All Music Guide |

1954: Duke Ellington - Los Angeles Concert |
Music » Jazz » Big Band |
|
|
 Artist: Duke Ellington Album: Los Angeles Concert Label: GNP Crescendo Year: 1954; release: 1992 Quality: MP3@320 kbps Size: 106 mb Total time: 55:53 The "renaissance" of Ellington was two years away--his triumphant Newport concert that jump-started his somewhat flagging popularity. All the big bands were struggling at this point in time--but the Duke was still a draw, and still could deliver, despite the (temporary) loss of ace soloist Johnny Hodges. Here, his piano playing is especially tasty, a bit more front-and-center than usual. The program consists of hits--"Mood Indigo," "Satin Doll," "Take the A Train"--and a few pieces composed by long-time band members: clarinetist Jimmy Hamilton ("Theme for Trambean") and high-note trumpet king Cat Anderson (the whimsical "Blue Jean Beguine"). More an album for hard-core Ellington/big band fans than neophytes, this disc is a worthy addition to any jazz collection favoring large groups strutting their stuff in a concert setting. ~ cduniverse.com This album has an excellent performance by the Duke Ellington Orchestra at a time when its commercial fortunes were near the bottom. The struggles however are not reflected in the music, which is full of enthusiasm and creative invention with trumpeter Clark Terry, tenorman Paul Gonsalves and trombonist Britt Woodman (on "Theme for Trambean") standing out among the many stars during a well-paced program. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |

1959: Count Basie - One More Time |
Swing, Basie Count |
|
|
 Artist: Count Basie Album: One More Time (music from the pen of Quincy Jones) Label: Roulette Jazz Year: Originally released in 1959 Format: Flac Time: 37:06 Size: 138 MB Repost with a new link ËÞÁÈÒÅËßÌ ÒÂÎÐ×ÅÑÒÂÀ BASIE,ÐÅÊÎÌÅÍÄÓÞ ÏÐÎÑËÓØÀÒÜ!!!ÏÎËÓ×ÈÒÅ ÊÎËÎÑÑÀËÜÍÎÅ ÓÄÎÂÎËÜÑÒÂÈÅ. For this studio album from late 1958 and early 1959, the Count Basie Orchestra performs ten Quincy Jones compositions; he also contributed all of the arrangements. "I Needs to Be Beed With," "For Lena and Lennie" and "The Midnight Sun Never Sets" all caught on and Jones's charts helped expand the Basie sound without altering it. An excellent CD.

1980: Cedar Walton featuring Abbey Lincoln - The Maestro |
Music » Jazz » BeBop » Hard-bop |
|
|
 Artist: Cedar Walton featuring Abbey Lincoln Album: The Maestro Label: Muse Records (Catalog#: MR 5244) Year: 1980 Format: FLAC-8 (LP-Rip) Time: 41:06 Size: 133MB AMG rating:  The most notable aspect to this fine effort by the 1980 Cedar Walton Trio (which is comprised of the pianist-leader, tenor saxophonist Bob Berg, bassist David Williams and drummer Billy Higgins) is that Abbey Lincoln takes vocals on four of the eight selections. Lincoln (who is in top form) introduces two of her songs ("Not In Love" and "Castles") and also interprets "In A Sentimental Mood" and Walton's tribute to Duke Ellington "The Maestro." Otherwise Walton's group plays a couple of common Thelonious Monk tunes, Jobim's "Sabiá" and "On The Trail." A well-rounded and easily recommended set of advanced straightahead jazz. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |

1964: The Paul Butterfield Blues Band - The Original Lost Elektra Sessions |
Music » Blues » Modern electric blues » Modern Electric Chicago Blues |

|
 Artist: The Paul Butterfield Blues Band Album: The Original Lost Elektra Sessions Label: Elektra/WEA Year: 1964 Release: 1995 Format, bitrate: Mp3, 320 Kbps, CBR Time: 00:58:56 min Size: 128.43 Mb AMG Rating:  All but one of these 19 tracks were recorded in December, 1964, as Paul Butterfield Blues Band's projected first LP; the results were scrapped and replaced by their official self-titled debut, cut a few months later. With both Michael Bloomfield and Elvin Bishop already in tow, these sessions rank among the earliest blues-rock ever laid down. Extremely similar in feel to the first album, it's perhaps a bit rawer in production and performance, but not appreciably worse or different than what ended up on the actual debut LP. Dedicated primarily to electric Chicago blues standards, Butterfield fans will find this well worth acquiring, as most of the selections were never officially recorded by the first lineup (although different renditions of five tracks showed up on the first album and the What's Shakin' compilation).~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide |

2011: Charlie Rouse & Julius Watkins - The Complete Jazz Modes Sessions |

 Artist: Charlie Rouse & Julius Watkins Album: The Complete Jazz Modes Sessions (8 Lps On 3 Cds) Label: Solar Records Year: 1956 - 1959 Release: 2011 Format, bitrate: mp3, 320kb/s Total Time : 230 min Size: 168, 164, 164 MB The complete recordings by The Jazz Modes, an experimental small jazz formation fronted by Charlie Rouse on tenor sax and Julius Watkins on French horn, plus Gildo Mahones on piano.
With slight personnel variations, this group recorded a total of five albums, most of which are now very hard to find. All of these LPs are included here in their entirety and in chronological order.
A member of big bands, among them those of Billy Eckstine, Dizzy Gillespie, and Duke Ellington, Charlie Rouse is best remembered for his more than ten years as a member of the Thelonious Monk Quartet. One of the first and probably the best jazz French horn player, Julius Watkins recorded with numerous jazz greats, including John Coltrane, Freddie Hubbard, Charles Mingus, Miles Davis and Gil Evans, Phil Woods, Clark Terry, Quincy Jones, Johnny Griffin, Randy Weston, and the Jazz Composer's Orchestra.
As a bonus, we have included three further complete albums, all of which were originally issued as 10” LPs. Oscar Pettiford’s Oscar Rides Again is the only other existing album, outside of the Jazz Modes body of work, to feature both Rouse and Watkins in the front line. The two volumes by the Julius Watkins Sextet, on the other hand, present Watkins in the company of other celebrated tenor saxophonists: Frank Foster and Hank Mobley.
Albums included : ‘Jazzville '56, Vol.1’; ‘Les Jazz Modes’ (1956): and ‘Mood in Scarlet’ (1956) - all originally on Dawn; ‘The Most Happy Fella’ (1957) and ‘The Jazz Modes’ (1959) - both originally on Atlantic; ‘Oscar Rides Again’ (1954) - originally on Bethlehem; ‘New Faces, New Sounds’ (1954), and ‘Julius Watkins Sextet Volume Two’ (1955) - both originally on Blue Note.~ Solar Records |
