1960: Art Farmer/Benny Golson Jazztet - Blues March |
Music » Jazz » BeBop » Hard-bop |
 |
|
 Artists: Art Farmer / Benny Golson Jazztet Album: Blues March Label: Jazz Time Records Year: 1960; release: 1993 Quality: FLAC Size: 239 mb (with all covers) Total time: 39:56 AMG Rating:   Although this CD has the same program as the original LP, it gets the highest rating because it is a hard bop classic. Not only does it include superior solos from trumpeter Art Farmer, trombonist Curtis Fuller, tenor saxophonist Benny Golson, and pianist McCoy Tyner (who was making his recording debut) along with fine backup from bassist Addison Farmer and drummer Lex Humphries, but it features the writing of Golson. Highlights include the original version of "Killer Joe" along with early renditions of "I Remember Clifford" and "Blues March." This was Fuller and Tyner's only recording with the original Jazztet, and all ten selections (which also include "Serenata," "It Ain't Necessarily So," "It's All Right With Me," and "Easy Living") are quite memorable. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |

1938: Count Basie Live - 1938 At The Famous Door, NYC |
Music » Jazz » Swing |

|
 Artist: Count Basie Album: 1938 At The Famous Door, NYC Label: Jazz Hour Year: 1938; release: 1997 Quality: MP3@320 kbps Size: 154 mb Total time: 72:47 AMG Rating:  REPOST by request The Basie band, with Harry James as the guest soloist and new arrival Harry Edison in the lineup, rocked New York's 52nd Street. The band is captured here in six late-night CBS broadcasts in the midst of its first big year of success, in an engagement that was supposed to last six weeks and ended up running four months, before an audience so taken with the group's sound that they willingly moved out onto the sidewalk while the group opened up to full volume for these broadcasts. There's hardly a note out of place, and the band shows its stuff behind renditions of "Jumping at the Woodside," "King Porter Stomp," and "One O'Clock Jump" (a killer finale) clocking in at between five and seven minutes with extended solos, double the length of their records of this era. Basie's piano gets some of the spotlight in a bracing version of "Lady Be Good." The fidelity is good to very good, and only "Everybody Loves My Baby" (a great number) is, alas, incomplete, a result of a transcription disc that was never found. That flaw aside, it is a release like this that transcends any of the criticism of the digital medium -- put simply, it's only the existence of digital audio and digital editing that permitted an engineer to remove more than 200 scratches per second from the original transcription discs that this CD came from. ~ Bruce Eder, All Music Guide |

1981: Paul Butterfield - North South |
Blues-Rock, Modern Electric Chicago Blues |
|
|
 Artist: Paul Butterfield Album: North South Label: Rhino Year:1981 Format, bitrate: mp3, 320 kbps CBR Time: 35:02 min Size: 79.11 Ìb This is absolutely terrible! East West is one of my favorite Paul Butterfield albums (actually I like all 3 of them) and was surprised to find an album I'd never heard of. This album is a bunch of 70's disco songs with Paul Butterfield listed as doing back up vocals. Must have sold the rights to use his name. ~ Amazon.com |

1927-1943: Dicky Wells 1927-1943 |
Music » Jazz » Swing |

 Artist: Dicky Wells Album: Dicky Wells 1927-1943 Label: Classics Years: 1927-1943; release: 1997 Quality: MP3@320 kbps Size: 144 mb Total time: 70:45 AMG Rating: Î÷åðåäíàÿ âñòðå÷à ñ âåëèêîëåïíûì òðîìáîíèñòîì! This is the definitive Dickie Wells collection, presenting three very distinct periods in his remarkable career. As an appetizer for five sessions led by this fine trombonist, listeners get to hear his very first recordings, with Springfield, OH, native Lloyd Scott's orchestra in 1927 and Lloyd's brother Cecil Scott's Bright Boys -- featuring trumpeters Frankie Newton and Bill Coleman -- in 1929. This shot of seven outstanding old-fashioned numbers is a perfect example of great music from the late '20s, all but forgotten by the public today but available to dedicated early jazz addicts as part of the Classics Chronological Series. Dickie Wells spent the first half of the 1930s working in bands led by Elmer Snowden, Benny Carter, Chick Webb, and Fletcher Henderson. He joined Teddy Hill's band in 1934 and it was with Hill that Wells traveled to Paris during the summer of 1937. At the heart of this collection lie 12 marvelous recordings waxed during that tour, with the great Django Reinhardt and a few of his French friends sitting in with Wells (billed here as "Dicky") and a small team of seasoned North American swing musicians. Bill Coleman made himself at home, scat singing with gutsy nonchalance on "Hangin' Around Boudon." Additional trumpeters were Bill Dillard and Shad Collins, with further U.S. input from alto saxophonist Howard Johnson, pianist Sam Allen, bassist Richard Fullbright, and ace drummer Bill Beason. Dickie Wells was an accomplished trombonist, capable of expressing a full range of human emotions using growls, smears, glissandi, and honest, straight-up melodic candor. "Oh, Lady Be Good" and "Dicky Wells Blues" feature the trombone backed by a rhythm trio, highlighting his musical personality in living color. A veritable chasm lies between these 1937 recordings and the next session, recorded in December 1943 for Bob Thiele's Signature label. By this time, Wells had come through the fire of the Count Basie Orchestra, bringing with him several key players from that formidable swing machine. Most importantly, listeners get to hear Lester Young only months before his ill-fated encounter with the U.S. Army. Prez, Dickie, and Bill Coleman are each in fine form, jamming hard with solid support from a fine rhythm section in pianist Ellis Larkins, guitarist Freddie Green, bassist Al Hall, and master drummer Jo Jones. Because of Wells' nominal leadership and the fact that it was originally issued by a small independent label, this session is less well-known than Young's work with Basie and his Aladdin and Verve recordings. It is essential listening for all Lester Young fans, and should be digested along with Young's remarkable Keynote Quartet session that took place one week later. ~ arwulf arwulf, All Music Guide |

1957: Art Blakey - Mirage |

|
 Artist: Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers Album: Mirage Label:Savoy Year: 1957; Release:1976 Format, bitrate: Mp3, 320 Kbps Size:89 MB The 1957 edition of The Jazz Messengers heard throughout this enjoyable LP features altoist Jackie McLean, trumpeter Bill Hardman, pianist Sam Dockery, bassist Spanky DeBrest and leader/drummer Art Blakey. Already at this early stage, the band was the epitome of hard bop and just beginning to become an influential force. Although none of these six selections (three by tuba player Ray Draper) would become standards, the music is consistently excellent and typically hard swinging. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |
