     Сегодня в гости к нашей очаровательной имениннице пришли не только мы, но и музыканты, многих из которых госпожа zuziki знает, а некоторых даже и любит.

     В знак благодарности и искренней любви хочу подарить вам и всем членам Клуба этот редчайший (но, к сожалению, неполный - не хватает двух последних трэков) альбом Erroll Garner в надежде, что прослушав представленные 8 композиций, вы не будете упрекать меня за недостаток...
     Спасибо всем... С любовью, ваша zuziki

     "The three of us fell into a oneness which allowed the music to roll out naturally," Jimmy Giuffre wrote of this 1959 session with his frequent collaborator Jim Hall on guitar and the great Ray Brown on bass. Consisting mostly of original compositions, the music here always sounds, in Giuffre's words, "relaxed and settled."

     Format: MP3 @320 kbps
     Size: 78mb (RS.com)

     Killer set of bop tracks recorded by Max and other New York bop heavy-hitters, like Hank Mobley and Kenny Dorham -- plus a guest appearance by Ramsey Lewis on piano, in one of his few non-Chicago, non-trio sides. The record's got that great kind of energy that Roach could hit when he really was kicking his group into gear -- and although the overall approach is mostly hardbop, there's plenty going on under the surface. Tracks inlcude "CM", "Four X", "Crackle Hut", and "Speculate". (Hard-to-find Japanese pressing from the 1970s. Further information is very difficult to find.)

     Я тоже от всего сердца поздравляю Вас, прелестная zuziki! Удивляйте и удивляйтесь! Чувствуйте радость и дарите её другим! Море улыбок Вам и любви!
     И простите, если этот альбом у Вас есть. В любом случае я просто очень хочу подарить Вам тот праздник, которым он наполнен.

     In the 70's, the marvelous pianist, George Shearing,started his own label, Sheba (a conflation of he and his wife's name) and the first release was this gem of a recording; George plays and Joe Williams sings. All of the tunes have the word, "heart" or "soul" in their title a fanciful concept and owing to the fact that many wonderful standards have these words in their titles the results are winning. Love Mr Williams voice in this recording, relaxed in the company of Shearing and the side musicians it is a treat to hear these two artists at work. A worthwhile purchase.

     Last year, in the endless magic hour of the Icelandic summer, Sigur Ros played a series of concerts around their homeland. Combining both the biggest and smallest shows of their career, the entire tour was filmed, and now provides a unique insight into one of the world’s shyest and least understood bands captured live in their natural habitat.
     The culmination of more than a year spent promoting their hugely successful ‘Takk…’ album around the world, the Icelandic tour was free to all-comers and went largely unannounced. Playing in deserted fish factories, outsider art follies, far-flung community halls, sylvan fields, darkened caves and the hoofprint of Odin’s horse, Sleipnir*, the band reached an entirely new spectrum of the Icelandic population; young and old, ardent and merely quizzical, entirely by word-of-mouth. >> more >>

     Tim Berne (alto and baritone saxes) has been at the forefront of progressive jazz since the early '80s. On this release, the artist regroups with longtime musical associates Marc Ducret (electric guitar) and Tom Rainey (drums) for a truly mesmerizing set that rings with ominous overtones and intricately constructed fabrics of sound. Over the years, Rainey and Ducret have supported Berne-led dates, and here the trio pursues a fire and brimstone approach that packs a walloping punch. On pieces such as "Bobby Reconte une Histoire" and "Dialectes," the band melds shuffle grooves with complex unison choruses and linearly devised progressions amid slight shifts in strategy. Vivid imagery abounds as Berne and Ducret offer allusions of perhaps climbing a spiral staircase via climactic opuses and scorching licks. And while many of these pieces are structured and based upon solid frameworks, the artists' complementary musings and intuitive interplay provide the winning edge. The band explores various methods of expounding upon a story line via Berne and Ducret's shredding lines and implosive mode of execution, while Rainey anchors the proceedings with loosely based polyrhythms and sweeping fills. Here, the musicians straddle the outside while also providing supplementary insight into familiar musical territories. (Strongly recommended) -- Glenn Astarita, All Music Guide

     Artist: Herbie Hancock
     Album: Future Shock
     Label: Columbia
     Year: 1983
     Styles: Jazz-Funk, Fusion, Electro

     The three electronic, hip-hop-influenced albums Herbie Hancock recorded during the 1980s--of which Future Shock was the first, followed by Sound System and Perfect Machine--have been the most maligned by fans of his enormously influential '60s-era jazz work. The reissue of all three albums, each newly remastered with bonus mixes and new liner notes, makes it clear Hancock was much more than simply a jazz pianist reaching for a pop crossover audience. To be sure, Hancock got his pop hit with Future Shock's "Rockit," and there's plenty on Future Shock that sounds dated, from the early 80's synthesizer tones to the almost consciously stiff-sounding hip-hop beats that permeate every track. But dig a little deeper, and it's clear this is supremely intelligent dance music, with a combination of producer-bassist Bill Laswell's Kraftwerk-influenced industrial production and Latin percussionist Daniel Ponce's Bata drum, Pete Cosey's screeching guitar--which echoes his work with Miles Davis's 1970s band--Sly Dunbar's rock-solid funk drumming, and Grand Mixer D.S.T.'s radical (for the time) turntable scratching. And, of course, there's "Rockit", the track that introduced a generation of young listeners to Hancock and break-dancing robots in music videos. All in all, a reissue well worth revisiting. -- Ezra Gale
