1991: Bobby Hutcherson - Mirage |
Music » Jazz » BeBop » Post-bop |
 |
|
 Artist: Bobby Hutcherson Album: Mirage Label: Landmark Year: 1991 Format, bitrate: Mp3, 320 Kbps Time:63:01 Size: 145 MB This quartet date by Bobby Hutcherson works quite well due to the chemistry between the vibist and pianist Tommy Flanagan. They take Thelonious Monk's "Pannonica" and "Love Letters" as exquisite duets and perform eight high-quality selections as a quartet with bassist Peter Washington and drummer Billy Drummond. Among the other highlights are Barry Harris' "Nascimento," Flanagan's "Beyond the Bluebird" and Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Zingaro." Everything clicks on this inspired outing. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |

2010: Sonny Criss - Mr. Blues Pour Flirter (Jazz in Paris Collector's Edition with bonus tracks) |

 Artist: Sonny Criss Album: Mr. Blues Pour Flirter (Jazz in Paris Collector's Edition with bonus tracks) Label: Universal Music France Year: 1962 - 1963 Release: 2010 Format, bitrate: mp3, 320kb/s Size: 128 MB AMG rating:  Some of the rarest work ever by Sonny Criss – and a key link between his LA bop sides of the mid 50s, and his Prestige comeback sides of the late 60s! The CD features tracks from a rare album that Criss cut in Paris during the early 60s, while he was living in the city and working with the cream of its jazz players. This all-star set has Criss blowing some wonderfully soulful alto in a combo that includes Georges Arvanitas on organ and piano, Rene Thomas on guitar, Pierre Michelot on bass, and Philippe Combelle on drums. The original album is one of the rarest sides we've ever found ourselves looking for over the years – and it's wonderful to have the material back out again with such great fidelity! It's wonderful to hear Criss blowing with an organ/guitar group – but even the piano tracks are pretty darn great. Titles include "Early & Later (parts 1 & 2)", "St Louis Blues", "Once In a While", "Green Dolphin Street", and "Day Dream". CD then also features 5 more bonus tracks from Blues Pour Flirter No 2 – with Henri Renaud on piano – titles that include "Mighty Low", "Don't Blame Me", "Black Coffee", and "We'll Be Together Again". ~ © 1996-2012, Dusty Groove America, Inc. |

1945-1950: Nat "King" Cole - Jazz Encounters |
Swing, Mainstream, Vocal Jazz |
|
|
 Artist: Nat "King" Cole Album: Jazz Encounters Label: Capitol Jazz Years: 1945-1950; release: 1992 Quality: MP3@320 kbps Size: 124 mb Total time: 59:53 AMG Rating:   Repost by request This CD has many of Cole's most interesting Capitol dates away from his trio. The great jazz pianist is heard with the 1947 Metronome All-Stars, jamming with the all-star Capitol International Jazzmen, backing the straight vocals of Jo Stafford, and collaborating with Nellie Lutcher, Woody Herman (on a remarkable version of "Mule Train"), and Johnny Mercer (highlighted by the joyful "Save the Bones for Henry Jones"). This colorful set is highly recommended. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide

1955, 1958: Roy Eldridge & Benny Carter - Urbane Jazz |

 Artists: Roy Eldridge & Benny Carter Album: Urbane Jazz Label: Poll Winners Records Years: 1955, 1958; release: 2010 Quality: MP3@320 kbps Size: 168 mb Total time: 78:04 AMG Rating:  REPOST by request The American Recording Society was a music subscription service from the mid- to late '50s. The Jazz Entertainment Division of the Society issued several high-quality LPs, usually featuring artists from one of Norman Granz's labels, Clef, Norgan, and Verve. Some but not all of the albums were replications in all or in part of the Granz releases. Generally, not all the cuts that were on the major label showed up on ARS releases. This made for some recordings that were short, but very important nonetheless. This release features the swing-inflected trumpet of Roy Eldridge combined with the always cosmopolitan-sounding alto sax of the venerable Benny Carter. This combination was quite fortuitous becauseEldridge took his main inspiration not from Louis Armstrong, but from saxophonists Carter and Coleman Hawkins, transposing that rapid arpeggio style and rich tone to his horn. This gave the trumpet player a keen awareness of harmony and unparalleled dexterity, especially in his solos. The payoffs from this transformation of style and technique are heard on such cuts as the quick-paced "Polite Blues" and the lovely ballad "I Missed My Heart." This track also features the unmistakable pure tone and sophisticated harmonies of the Carter alto. The two front-line horn players are joined by the respectable rhythm section of Bruce MacDonald, John Simmons, and Alvin Stoller, who carry out their duties as timekeepers and occasional soloists with confidence and poise. A great service to the jazz community would be made if someone managed to gather up all these ARS recordings and reissue them as a commemorative box. In the meantime, scouring second-hand record bins and/or auctions is the only way to find these gems. ~ Dave Nathan, Rovi Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this classic Jazz album. Contains the complete original album Urbane Jazz as well as all of the other tunes taped during those sessions. While the main focus here is on the quintet fronted by Eldridge and Carter, four tracks present Eldridge playing amazing duets with drummer Alvin Stoller (the trumpeter also plays piano on 'Wailing'). The only two tracks featuring Eldridge from the soundtrack of the French movie Les Tricheurs have been added as a bonus (on one track Roy shares the front line with Stan Getz in a sextet). ~ Poll Winners. 2010. |

1950-1954: Percy Mayfield - Poet Of The Blues |
Music » Blues |
|
|
 Artist: Percy Mayfield Album: Poet Of The Blues Label: Specialty Records Year: 1950-1954 Release: 1990 Format, bitrate: Mp3, 320 Kbps Time: 67:20 Size: 143 MB AMG Rating:  The insightful songwriting skills of this West Coaster were matched by his wry, plaintive vocal delivery (Mayfield was usually his own best interpreter). The 25 sides here date from his hit-laden 1950-1954 stay at Art Rupe's Specialty logo and include his universal lament "Please Send Me Someone to Love," and the resolutely downbeat "Strange Things Happening" and "Lost Love," and an ironic "The River's Invitation." Saxman Maxwell Davis led the horn-powered combos providing sympathetic support behind Mayfield. ~ Bill Dahl, All Music Guide |
