1945-1949: Charles "Baron" Mingus: West Coast, 1945-1949 |
BeBop, Cool, West Coast Jazz |
 |
 |
 Artist: Charles Mingus Album: West Coast, 1945-49 Label: UPTOWN JAZZ Year: 1945-49 ; release: 2001 Format, bitrate: MP3, LAME 320 kbps Time: 72:11 Size: 163 MB This anthology collects a number of obscure 78s by Charles Mingus, many of which have not been reissued since they were originally released during the 1940s. Many of the vocal features are fairly traditional ballads, and Mingus was by no means an inventive lyricist, but it is the strong solos by the musicians within these tracks and the often rather progressive arrangements (even if their execution is not always perfect) that generally merit the most attention. One notable exception is Helen Carr's performance on the standard "Say It Isn't So," which opens with a superb bass solo by Mingus. Carr's sultry vocal is also accompanied by her then-husband Donn Trenner on piano; tragically, her only other recordings prior to her premature death were two records for Bethlehem. Among the instrumental tracks, "Shuffle Bass Boogie" is a lively 12-bar blues featuring Mingus at the forefront and fine solos by saxophonists Lucky Thompson and Willie Smith (two of the bigger names among the cast of lesser-known players). Buddy Collette's "Bedspread" is a mid-tempo swinger that is obviously influenced by Duke Ellington, and features some choice solos, especially by tenor saxophonist William "Brother" Woodman and the composer on alto sax. The exotic "Mingus Fingers," originally written by Mingus for Lionel Hampton, showcases Mingus in a boppish solo. Herb Caro, who died at 22, is heard on baritone sax on a big-band version of Mingus' "Story of Love" and on tenor sax in a later remake, which also features Eric Dolphy on alto sax and Russ Freeman on piano. Among the many other musicians heard on this CD are Roy Porter, Art Pepper, Richard Wyands, and Red Callender. Andrew Homzy's thorough liner notes and the many period photographs included provide additional insight into the early career of Charles Mingus. Highly recommended. ~ Ken Dryden, All Music Guide |

1952-1954: Stan Getz - Stan Getz Plays |
Cool, West Coast Jazz |
 |
 |
 Artist: Stan Getz Album: Stan Getz Plays Label: Verve Year: 1952-1954 Release: 1954 Format, bitrate: MP3 320 kbps Time: 37 min Size: 116 mb AMG Rating: Tenor saxophonist Stan Getz is in excellent form playing with one of his finest groups, a quintet with guitarist Jimmy Raney and pianist Duke Jordan. Although the music does not quite reach the excitement level of the Getz-Raney Storyville session, this music (particularly the ballads) really shows off the tenor's appealing tone. This CD is rounded out by four titles that Getz cut with a quartet in 1954 that co-starred pianist Jimmy Rowles. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |

1950/1953: Zoot Sims - Zoot Sims in Paris |
BeBop, Cool |
 |
 |
 Artist: Zoot Sims Album: Zoot Sims in Paris Label: Vogue Years: 1950/1953; release: 1995 Quality: MP3@320 kbps Size: 143 mb Total time: 65:19 This reissue CD from Vogue (made available domestically through BMG) has all of the music that the constantly swinging tenor Zoot Sims recorded at two Paris sessions. He is heard on seven titles (plus six alternate takes) in 1950 with a quiet but firm quartet comprised of pianist Gerald Wiggins, bassist Pierre Michelot and drummer Kenny Clarke; "Night and Day," "I Understand" and "Zoot and Zoot" are among the highpoints. The final six selections feature Sims with trombonist Frank Rosolino, pianist Henri Renaud, guitarist Jimmy Gourley, bassist Don Bagley and drummer Jean-Louis Viale for some cool bop in the same basic style as the earlier set. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |

1953-1954: Herbie Harper - Jazz in Hollywood |
Cool, West Coast Jazz |
 |
 |
 Artist: Herbie Harper Album: Jazz in Hollywood Label: OJC/Nocturne Records (Limited edition) Years: 1953-1954; release: 1999 Quality: MP3@320 kbps Size: 80,3 mb Total time: 48:17 AMG Rating:  Âåëèêîëåïíûé àëüáîì îò ïðåâîñõîäíîãî òðîìáîíèñòà! Although somewhat forgotten today, Herbie Harper was one of jazz's top trombonists of the 1950s. Even with the time he spent doing studio work, Harper was closely involved in the West Coast jazz movement in Los Angeles. This CD, whose music is also available as part of Fresh Sound's three-CD Complete Nocturne Recordings Vol. 1, has Harper's two Nocturne dates, including the earliest session cut by the label. Harper is heard on a delightfully swinging set with baritonist Bob Gordon, pianist Jimmy Rowles, bassist Harry Babasin and drummer Roy Harte, and on two other sessions with Babasin, Harte and sometimes Bud Shank (on tenor and baritone rather than alto and flute), guitarist Al Hendrickson and/or pianist Marty Paich. The music includes cool renditions of swing-era songs, a few newer originals, and some offbeat material. Recommended. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |

Baker recorded prolifically during his first 14 months back in the States, including a set for Colpix, two records for Limelight, and, in a busy three-day period, five albums for Prestige titled Groovin' , Comin' On, Cool Burnin', Smokin', and Boppin' With the Chet Baker Quintet.... |

 |
 Artists: Dave Brubeck Quartet with Carmen McRae Album: Tonight Only! (with bonus tracks) Label: American Jazz Classics Year: 1960; release : 2011 Format, bitrate: mp3, 320 kbps Time: 57:45 Size: 129 MB One of the more obscure Dave Brubeck albums is really a showcase for the young singer Carmen McRae who performs nine numbers: six composed by the pianist/leader, one song apiece by altoist Paul Desmond and bassist Eugene Wright and the lesser-known standard "Paradiddle Joe." McRae is in fine voice but strangely enough all of the songs (except for "Strange Meadowlark") have been long forgotten. Stronger material would have resulted in a more memorable session. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide The first out of there collaborations between Dave Brubeck and singer Carmen McRae. Five extra songs presenting McRae backed by the Dave Brubeck Trio have been added here as a bonus, including a rare reading of "There'll Be No Tomorrow" that also appears here on CD for the first time ever. ~ cduniverse.com |

1966: Dave Brubeck Quartet - Live in London 1966 |
Music » Jazz » BeBop » Cool |
 |
 |
 Artist: Dave Brubeck Quartet Album: Live in London November 1966 Label: Bootleg Year: 1966 Format, bitrate: MP3 @320 Time: 68:18 Size: 162.81 MB (With artwork & notes) Very good FM broadcast!! With new links Jazz pianist Dave Brubeck is best associated with Take Five, the classic track from the 1959 album, Time Out, though the song was composed by Brubeck's partner and saxophonist Paul Desmond. Listening to this November 1966 set, one walks away with the feeling that Brubeck is a generous person. Very often it is Desmond who is in the spotlight, maybe because he gets the melodic lines, but Brubeck does not shoulder his way in while bassist Eugene Wright gets to shine with drummer Joe Morello ably covering the bases. Melodic and gently swinging are probably the terms that come to mind when describing Brubeck's music and, by 1966, the quartet is a well-oiled machine with the performance coming across as effortless. The quartet might have had their biggest hit in 1959 but here, with a new album in the racks - 1966's Time In - the group is still raring to go. Apart from their hit "single" and classics such as Take The A-Train, the set list included Forty Days and Softly, William, Softly, both featured on the Time In album.
Thanks to ricola for sharing this very good FM recording on the Dime site! In response, this is what brimouse wrote: "I work with Dave Brubeck and the Brubeck Institute, and Dave wanted me to tell you all that he is perfectly fine with everybody trading his shows, but he wants me to download everything that goes up so he can hear it. You should have seen the look on his face when I played some of the stuff I have grabbed off of here. He is 87, but he still has the spirit and drive of a young man. Anyways, the purpose of this message is really to say 'thanks', and keep up the Brubeck, especially if you want Dave to hear it." - from ~ Bigozine2 |

1961: Mose Allison - V-8 Ford Blues |
Cool, Hard-bop, Allison Mose |
 |
 |
 Artist: Mose Allison Album: V-8 Ford Blues Label: Sony Year: recorded in 1961, reissued in 2004 Format, bitrate: mp3@320Kbps Time: 00:38:42 Size: 88,63 MB AMG rating:  Repost on Rapidshare! Besides cool playing and his uniquely smoky singing, Mose has great taste in material. "Hey Good Lookin'" fits right in with revisited versions of "I Love the Life I Live," "I Ain't Got Nobody" and "Baby Please Don't Go," complete with what the singer himself calls his distinctive "involuntary groan" during the piano solo. Teo Macero's intimate production makes it feel like you're right there in the studio. This album was released with two others in a delightful 1994 collection called High Jinks. ~ Mark Allan, All Music Guide |

 Artists: Paul Desmond & The Modern Jazz Quartet Album: Paul Desmond & The Modern Jazz Quartet Label: Sony Year: 1971, release 1993 Format, bitrate: MP3@320 kbit/s Time: 0.39:48 Size: 91 MB Ïðåêðàñíàÿ Ðîæäåñòâåíñêàÿ âñòðå÷à âûäàþùåãîñÿ ñàêñîôîíèñòà ñ çíàìåíèòûì êâàðòåòîì. Óäîâîëüñòâèå îò ïðîñëóøèâàíèÿ ãàðàíòèðóþ! REPOST by request with a new link from lex The MJQ made their annual Christmas gig at New York's Town Hall one year, and who should show up after intermission but Paul Desmond, who would hardly bring himself to play with anyone in those days, save a Creed Taylor record date or two. The cool classical modernists and the dry-martini altoist are not unexpectedly a close fit -- after all, Percy Heath and especially Connie Kay had been fixtures on Desmond's solo sessions -- and they do some relaxed swinging turns on some congenial standards, adaptations of P.D. tunes ("La Paloma," "Greensleeves"), one current hit ("Jesus Christ Superstar" in a cute John Lewis arrangement), and the inevitable "Bags' Groove" (here entitled "Bags' New Groove"). Again, Desmond softly intones perhaps his favorite standard in the repertoire (he recorded it countless times), "You Go to My Head," tumbling contrapuntally around Milt Jackson in the tune, while "East of the Sun" has a fine chase sequence between the two down the stretch. Though they had been friends since the 1950s, this was apparently the only time the MJQ and Desmond ever performed in public, making this one-off album (issued well after Desmond's death through Lewis's efforts) a thing to savor for fans of all five musicians. ~ Richard S.

1964: Mose Allison - The Word From Mose Allison |
Cool, Hard-bop, Allison Mose |
 |
 |
 Artist: Mose Allison Album: The Word From Mose Allison Label: Atlantic Year: 1964 Format, bitrate: Mp3@320 + FLAC Size: 75 Mb + 178 Mb + all covers Repost by request! This iconoclastic performer has sometimes been described as a country blues player, perhaps leading to images of a blind man standing on a corner playing a guitar with a bottleneck slide. In reality, Mose Allison is from a much more cosmopolitan tradition, and the country blues adage comes from attempts to describe the sound he gets playing light, swinging jazz with... More a distinctly rural, Southern influence. This album, from one of many he recorded for Atlantic, actually contains examples of him taking material from the real country blues heritage and reworking it into his own style, to brilliant effect. His "New Parchman Farm" is a fantastic piece, as he changes what was once a stark, depressing prison blues into something else again. Perhaps this version would be more suited to white-collar criminals such as the Watergate mob, basking in upper-class prisons complete with tennis courts. At any rate, this is a performance that only the most hardened individual would be able to listen to without a smile cracking their face. Like most of Allison's releases, this one suffers from a handful of tracks that although not quite throwaway, surely lack the substance of the best songs here. ~ Eugene Chadbourne, All Music Guide |

1964: Jimmy Raney - Two Jims and Zoot |
Music » Jazz » BeBop » Cool |

 |
 Artist: Jimmy Raney Album: Two Jims and Zoot Label: Mainstream Records Year: 1964; release: 1992 Quality: MP3@320 kbps Size: 88,2 mb Total time: 40:16 AMG Rating:  The slightly unusual date Two Jims and a Zoot features tenor saxophonist Zoot Sims interacting with two guitarists (Jimmy Raney and Jim Hall) while given subtle support by bassist Steve Swallow and drummer Osie Johnson. Although the eight selections (none of which caught on as standards) had all been written recently and sometimes display the influence of bossa nova, the quiet performances could pass for 1954 rather than 1964. The cool-toned improvisations and boppish playing have a timeless quality about them although for the time period aspects of this music already sounded a bit old-fashioned. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |

1962 - 1966: Vince Guaraldi - Greatest Hits |
Cool, West Coast Jazz |
 |
 |
 Artist: Vince Guaraldi Album: Greatest Hits Label: Fantasy Years:1962-1966 ; Release:1989 Format,mp3 bitrate:320 Time:56:23 Size:142.68 MB The late pianist Vince Guaraldi was a musician of uncommon resourcefulness. One of the few jazz artists to have an AM hit ("Cast Your Fate To The Wind"), he also had a genuine feel for bossa nova at the time of its peak popularity in this country. Witness his JAZZ IMPRESSIONS OF BLACK ORPHEUS, from which three of these GREATEST HITS are taken. Among the special pleasures of this compilation are the several tracks featuring masterful Brazilian guitarist Bola Sete. Guaraldi's gorgeous touch and uncluttered voicings make for a natural blend with Sete's acoustic rhythms.
Guaraldi is the commercial jazz pianist of choice, over the perhaps more limited Ramsey Lewis and Ahmad Jamal. He could even cover a Beatles tune like "I'm a Loser" without cheapening it--or himself--in the process. The pianist's greatest achievement, however, was composing and playing the scores for the animated CHARLIE BROWN television specials. The last three tracks on this collection are taken from these soundtracks and retain the freshness and simplicity that made Guaraldi's kind of jazz such an essential contribution to the original productions. ~ cduniverse.com First released on LP in 1980, this compilation concentrates upon bite-sized samples from Vince Guaraldi's Fantasy catalog. Naturally, Fantasy includes famous tunes like "Cast Your Fate to the Wind" and "Linus and Lucy," but there are also some superb sleepers ("Star Song," Jobim's "Outra Vez") that display Guaraldi's wonderful melodic gift, and the sessions with Bola Sete are touched upon. As a chronicle of Guaraldi's Fantasy days, the set is somewhat incomplete, for it leaves out all material recorded prior to "Cast Your Fate" and Guaraldi isn't given much of a chance to stretch out. But this is definitely the place to start for someone who has not heard this whimsically inventive pianist. ~ Richard S. Ginell, All Music Guide |

 Artist: The Buddy Collette Quintet with Irene Kral Album: With Guest Vocalist Irene Kral Label: Studio West Year: 1962; release: 1990 Quality: MP3@320 kbps Size: 59,1 mb Total time: 29:13 The fourth of four CDs released by Studio West, a subsidiary of V.S.O.P. Records, that is taken from previously unissued transcriptions made for the radio show "The Navy Swings" features the Buddy Collette Quintet, which in 1962 was comprised of the leader on flute, clarinet, tenor and alto, guitarist Al Viola, pianist Jack Wilson, bassist Jimmy Bond and drummer Bill Goodwin. As good as Collette (who contributed four melodic originals) plays on these very concise performances (all clocking in around three minutes or less), it is the six often-touching vocals of Irene Kral that particularly make this a recommended disc. Kral's versions of "The Meaning of the Blues," "Nobody Else but Me" and especially "Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most" are quite definitive and memorable. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |

1967: The Dave Brubeck Quartet - Their Last Time Out (2CD) |
Music » Jazz » BeBop » Cool |
 |
 |
 Artist: The Dave Brubeck Quartet Album: Their Last Time Out (2CD) Label: Columbia/Legacy Year: 1967; release: 2011 Quality: MP3@320 kbps Size: 101; 106 mb Total time: 47:34; 51:04 In 1967, Dave Brubeck decided to disband his long-running quartet with Paul Desmond, Eugene Wright, and Joe Morello at the end of the year. Crowds turned out to catch the group for a final time, though this is only the fourth issued live recording from the tour, possibly recorded from the front of the concert hall, since the audience seems more prominent than usual, and the sound is in mono and not quite as well-recorded as the earlier releases, though the performances are of high caliber. The source of these recordings were long forgotten tape reels found in Brubeck's home by his long time manager Russell Gloyd.
Brubeck kicks things off by launching into one of his perennial favorites to open concerts, "St. Louis Blues," played in a breezy manner similar to their earlier recorded versions. Brubeck's "Three to Get Ready (And Four to Go)" was already a favorite of his fans, while Desmond whimsically inserts a bit of "The Twelve Days of Christmas" into his solo (for this concert taped on December 26), while Brubeck can be heard softly singing along with his solo. The quartet learned the Mexican folk song "La Paloma Azul (The Blue Dove)" prior to their tour of Mexico earlier in the year and it became a staple in Brubeck's repertoire afterward. The pianist is at his most lyrical in this touching ballad, with Desmond's spacious, melancholy alto adding a nice touch, along with Wright's solid groove and Morello's soft brushes. The band sizzles in their treatment of "Take the 'A' Train" and sounds jubilant with their rousing rendition of "Someday My Prince Will Come" to end the first set, both pieces which were part of Brubeck's performance repertoire over four decades later.
To open the second set, the quartet launches a pulsating "Swanee River" in which the leader humorously works the standard "Lullaby of the Leaves" into his solo. Desmond's role is minimal in Brubeck's breezy "I'm in a Dancing Mood," with the focus being on the pianist and Morello. The standard "You Go to My Head" was long a feature for Desmond, who plays an inventive solo with Wright's swinging bass backing his as Brubeck stays mostly in the background. The drummer also has an extended feature to open "For Drummer's Only" to showcase his widely admired technique. It is inevitable that the evening had to close with a rousing performance of the quartet's signature tune "Take Five," which they manage to keep from going stale in spite of having to play it nearly every night after it became a best-selling single. Desmond's humor is in full force in his solo, while Brubeck's feature takes an exotic twist with a Middle Eastern flavor. Fans of Dave Brubeck will welcome the addition of this historic concert to his vast discography. ~ Ken Dryden, All Music Guide |

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 |

The excellent quintet plays one original apiece from each musician except Vinnegar in addition to Bud Powell's "Un Poco Loco," Sonny Rollins' "Doxy," the standard "Bernie's Tune" and their closing theme, Bill Holman's "A Gem from Tiffany." ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |

Davis and Monk actually did not get along all that well, and the trumpeter did not want Monk playing behind his solos.

Pianist Mike Wofford, bassist Bob Magnusson, drummer Roy McCurdy and percussionist Jerry Steinholtz are quite supportive of the flutes. Most and Farrell play a few standards (including a creative version of "When You Wish upon a Star"), some straightforward originals and on "Leaves" they freely improvise around each other in an interesting (if overly brief) duet. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |
