1974: Santana - Borboletta |
Fusion, Jazz-Rock |
 |
|
 Artist: Santana Album: Borboletta Label: CBS Year: 1974 Format, bitrate: mp3, 320.0 kbit/s Time: 49:52 Size: 121Mb Borboletta was the first new Santana band studio album in 11 months and the group's sixth overall. Once again, individual credits were listed for each song. The main problem was that the band seemed to be coasting; Carlos turned in the usual complement of high-pitched lead guitar work, and the percussionists pounded away, but the Santana sound had long since taken over from any individual composition, and the records were starting to sound alike. That, in turn, started to make them inessential; Borboletta spent less time on the charts than any previous Santana album. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide |

1967: Various Artists - Jazz For A Sunday Afternoon, Vol. 1 |
Hard-bop, Post-bop |
|
|
 Artists - Pepper Adams, Dizzy Gillespie , Elvin Jones , Mel Lewis, Ray Nance, Chick Corea Album - Jazz For A Sunday Afternoon, Vol. 1 Label - Solid State/United Artists Year - 1967, release - 1968 Quality - MP3@320 kbps Size - 80,2 mb Total time - 38:02 REPOST by request with a new link The first of four LPs put out by Solid State in this series has three lengthy titles ("Blues for Max," "Lullaby of the Leaves" and "Lover Come Back to Me") performed by an interesting if sometimes eccentric all-star group (trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie, baritonist Pepper Adams, violinist Ray Nance, pianist Chick Corea, bassist Richard Davis, Elvin Jones or Mel Lewis on drums). Gillespie and Adams are in fine form, Nance takes wild chances and the rhythm section shows off the influence of the avantgarde; the sidelong "Lover Come Back to Me" is the highpoint. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |

1962 & 1970: Bobby Hackett - Sextet and Quintet |

 Artist: Bobby Hackett Album: Sextet and Quintet Label: Storyville STCD-8230 Years: 1962 & 1970: release: 1999 Format, bitrate: MP3; 320KPS Time: 65:14 Size: 149.6 MB This Storyville LP combines two very different sessions led by Hackett. The first side has the soundtrack from a film made for the Goodyear Tire Company in 1962 featuring Hackett, trombonist Urbie Green, clarinetist Bob Wilber and pianist Dave McKenna in a sextet playing typical Dixieland tunes in spirited if overly concise fashion. The flip side features Hackett with trombonist Vic Dickenson in a quintet in 1970 really pushing themselves on five superior standards, including a version of "String of Pearls" on which Hackett reprises his famous solo of three decades earlier with Glenn Miller. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide Last four tracks are previously unissued! On this re-issue of Hackett Sextet sides of 1962 and the Quintet recordings he cut with Vic Dickenson in 1970 - we now find four previously unissued tracks from the latter session. In fact, they are four tunes associated with seminal figures in the early development in jazz - Jelly Roll Morton, Duke Ellington, Bunny Berigan, and the Original Dixieland Jazz Band. When these Hackett/Dickenson sides were recorded, Boeing 747 Jumbo Jets were crossing the Atlantic for the first time. The music world has always had it's share of glitzy high-flyers, too. Sometimes, though, we get deeper satisfaction from the work of the quieter, low-lying stylists… like Bobby and Vic! ~ Storyville Records |

1980: Kenny Barron - Golden Lotus |
Hard-bop, Post-bop |
|
|
 Artist: Kenny Barron Album: Golden Lotus Label: Muse Records (Catalog#: MR 5220) Year: 1980; release: 1982 Format: FLAC (LP-Rip) Size: 169.74MB Time: 42:23 Solid 1980 session with the always vibrant, challenging pianist Kenny Barron and the underrated saxophonist John Stubblefield in fiery form. Steve Nelson began generating interest on vibes with his playing on this session ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide. A great Kenny Barron side for Muse, one of the best from a label that has a lot of remarkable sleepers on it. Like the best Muse sides, this set does a great job of straddling the line between forward looking modal playing and relaxed soul jazz, combining the best elements of both. And as you might imagine from the title, there is a bit of spiritual and eastern influence creeping in on some of the numbers. © 1996-2012, Dusty Groove America, Inc. |

1969: Thad Jones & Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra - Central Park North |
Music » Jazz » Big Band » Modern Big Band |

|
 Artists: Thad Jones / Mel Lewis Album: Central Park North Label: Blue Note Year: 1969; release: 2004 Quality: MP3@320 kbps Size: 85,1 mb Total time: 37:54 By request One of the most popular big bands of the 1950s and '60s, this jazz orchestra, dually led by drummer Mel Lewis and trumpeter Thad Jones, made excellent, driving music that incorporated classic swing, hard bop, and the funky, percolating rhythms of soul-jazz in a large-ensemble context. Long out of print and finally reissued in 2004, 1969's CENTRAL PARK NORTH reveals the band in its prime.
Distinguished by Jones's strong compositions ("Tow Away Zone" and the multi-part, Ellingtonian title track are standouts), the record features many fine sidemen, including bassist Richard Davis, pianist Roland Hanna, trumpeter Jimmy Nottingham, and saxophonist Jerome Richardson. Lewis's drumming pushes the proceedings in all modes, driving the band along nicely on Nat Adderley's "Jive Samba," in particular. ~ cduniverse.com |

1972: Frank Zappa - Waka/Jawaka |
Jazz, Fusion, Jazz-Rock |
|
|
 Artist: Frank Zappa Album: Waka/Jawaka Label: Rykodisc Year: 1972, CD 1995 Format: mp3@320 / flac Size: 88MB / 249MB w/scans Time: 36:08 AMG Rating:  REPOST with new links When Frank Zappa found himself stuck in a wheelchair for most of the year 1972 (after a "fan" pushed him off the stage on December 10 of the previous year), he relieved his then-current band (including singers Flo & Eddie) of its duties and turned to studio work. One of the first things he tried was to write jazz fusion music scored for wider instrumentation than an average rock band. Waka/Jawaka was conceived in parallel to The Grand Wazoo, but with fewer players. The album, released in July 1972, is comprised of two extended instrumental pieces and two shorter songs. "Big Swifty," a theme-and-solos showcase, would become a live favorite, but the highlight came in the form of the orgiastic title track, recorded with ex-Mothers of Invention keyboardist Don Preston, trumpeter Sal Marquez, trombonists Bill Byers and Ken Shroyer, saxophonist Mike Altschul, bassist Erroneous, and drummer Aynsley Dunbar. The songs, never performed live, feel like filler material. Waka/Jawaka was Zappa's second solo album and is occasionally referred to as "Hot Rats II" (the handles of the faucets on the cover artwork show the words "hot" and "rats" instead of "hot" and "cold"). His writing and recording technique had matured a lot in very little time. The dirty blues jamming of the 1969 LP was replaced by clean, crisp jazz improvisations -- no need to say this was also an abrupt change in style from the Mothers' 1969-1971 incarnation. But this album was only transitional: Zappa's big-band stylings would really flourish in The Grand Wazoo a few months later.~ François Couture, All Music Guide |

1957: Pepper Adams - The Cool Sound Of Pepper Adams |

 Artist: Pepper Adams Album: The Cool Sound Of Pepper Adams Label: Savoy, Sony/Columbia Year: 1957, CD 1994 Format: mp3@320 / flac Size: 86MB / 177MB w/scans Time: 33:11 AMG Rating:  REPOST with new links The Cool Sound of Pepper Adams is the kind of record one buys for its remarkable cover art (depicting a flame-haired beauty cupping a seashell to her ear) only to discover the music contained therein is just as spellbinding. A wonderfully soulful session featuring striking contributions from pianist Hank Jones and drummer Elvin Jones, its four lengthy cuts pulsate with energy and invention. Despite complementing Adams' baritone leads with Bernard McKinney's euphonium, the music never sounds bloated. Instead, it's supple and slinky, with a dexterity that's utterly winning. Still, there's no mistaking the physicality of Adams' tone. Songs like "Bloos, Blooze, Blues" and "Like…What Is This?" are as rich and smooth as crushed velvet.~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide |
