Bill Evans - Symbiosis (1974) |

 Artist: Bill Evans & Claus Ogerman Orchestra Album: Symbiosis Recorded: New York, January 11-14, 1974 Format: mp3 Bitrate: 320 kB/s Size: 100 MB Âíèìàíèþ Êëóáà ïðåäëàãàåòñÿ âûäàþùàÿñÿ ðàáîòà Áèëëà Ýâàíñà è Êëàóñà Îãåðìàíà.
Ïîñëóøàéòå, ýòî òîãî ñòîèò! Bill Evans was working in familiar territory on most of his 1970s recordings, playing standards and his own compositions with his trio. But many of his fans looked back with fondness at his works from the 1950s when he had been challenged by Miles Davis, John Coltrane, George Russell, Cannonball Adderley, Charles Mingus and other great musical minds in settings not of Evans's own choosing. Symbiosis, a long orchestral composition by Claus Ogerman from 1974, is a throwback to that earlier period. Evans has his familiar friends, bassist Eddie Gomez and drummer Marty Morrell, in tow, but the music is adventurous and a radical departure from what the pianist normally played in concert. The result is one of the neglected masterpieces of the decade, and a high point in Evans's discography. Ogerman contributes one of the most interesting extended works in the jazz repertoire, and Evans plays at top form. Yet for all its virtues, Symbiosis quickly disappeared from the record stores after its initial release, and it has been years since I have seen a copy anywhere. But thanks to the world of Internet shopping and digital downloads it is now accessible again—and is a must-have for jazz fans who are not familiar with this stellar work. (Jazz.com) |

The feeling I had that morning comes again when I hear the music from Brazil. This album is dedicated to three men who let me re-capture that feeling when I play their music. Antonio Carlos Jobim, Frank Sinatra and Nelson Riddle...." ~ Rosemary Clooney |

|
 Artist: Freddie Hubbard Album: Sky Dive Year: 1972 Label: CTI Genre: Jazz / post-bop, jazz funk Quality: MP3 @320kbps Size: 106mb (RS.com) with Cover Time: 47:36 Freddie Hubbard's fourth CTI recording (and the second one with Don Sebesky arrangements) certainly has a diverse repertoire. In addition to his originals "Povo" and "Sky Dive" (both of which are superior jam tunes), the trumpeter stretches out on the theme from The Godfather and Bix Beiderbecke's "In a Mist." The charts for the brass and woodwinds are colorful; there is a fine supporting cast that includes guitarist George Benson, Keith Jarrett on keyboards, and flutist Hubert Laws; and Hubbard takes several outstanding trumpet solos. - AMG |

 Artist: Marlene Dietrich Title Of Album: Live At The Café De Paris, London' 1954 Release date: 25-9-1991 Label: SONY Styles: Vocal, Traditional Pop, Cabaret, Torch Songs Quality: FLAC (Tracks+Log+Cue+Scans+Info) Bitrate: Lossless Total Size: Flac 204+142 Mb/MP3 320 130 Mb/Scans 23 Mb (5% recovery) Total Time: 61:25 The most exotic actress of the 1930s and '40s, Marlene Dietrich performed her cabaret act around the world and recorded for Decca, Columbia and Capitol in the post-war period, after her film career had slowed. A thick German accent and her odd sung-spoken vocal style proved no barrier to international popular success and adoration. Born near Berlin in 1901, she began studying acting as a teenager, and auditioned with director Max Reinhardt several times before entering his drama school. She worked in the German theater and film world during the 1920s, gradually assuming star status until her international breakout at the end of the decade, when she appeared in The Blue Angel, directed by American Josef von Sternberg.

Grencso Kollektiva - Seven Songs To The Last Mohicans (2000) |
Music » Jazz |
|
|
 Artist: Grencsó Kollektíva Plusz Album: Seven Songs to the Last Mohicans Format: FLAC & mp3 (320k/s) Size: 266 & 112 MB (scans) Label: Bahia Total time: 46:02 István Grencso (soprano and alto saxophone, flute and other wind instruments) was born in Nyiregyhaza, Hungary, in 1956. After his early Masina Jazz Group (1979) he played in Budapest with various formations of Mihaly Dresch and Gyorgy Szabados. In 1985 he formed Grencso Kollektiva, which is still his main activity, based on a regular rotation of musicians. His music is always strongly attached to the culture and traditions of Eastern-Middle-Europe, from these inspirations he developed his own style. In Hungary he is generally considered one of the strongest personalities of the "local school", that stream of Hungarian jazz and improvised music, which instead of imitating the Western mainstream, is dedicated to the creation of local values.- from myspace.com/grencsokollektiv

 Artist: Elmore James Album: Blues After Hours Label: Crown Year: Recording Date 1955-1970 , release Jun 1961 Genre: blues Format mp3, bitrate: 256 kb/s Time: 53:00 Size: 63,7 + 44,8 Mb Blues After Hours, originally released on LP by Crown in 1960, was Elmore James' first long-playing record. Made up of singles released on the Modern imprints Meteor and Flair, for many it was their first introduction to the fiery slide guitarist, and the crunchy garage
sound of James' arrangements (backed variously by the Broomdusters in Chicago, the Maxwell Davis Orchestra in Los Angeles, and the J&M Studio house band in New Orleans), coupled with his passionate edgy vocals, quickly made him one of the most influential blues artists of his time. Mastered from the original LP tapes and augmented with eight bonus tracks (which include three additional singles relevant to the LP and five tracks from the Chicago sessions) |

Oh, as with most blues albums of the period, it consisted mostly of previously released single sides, in this case that he'd recorded and released over the prior seven years; but three of the dozen songs here were new to isteners when they showed up on Rockin' with Reed . |

 Artist: Jimmy Reed Album: Now Appearing Label: Collectables Year: 1966 Genre: blues Format mp 3, bitrate: 256 kb/s Time: 31:00 Size: 57,6 mb This short 11-track set doesn't include any of Reed's most beloved hits but does
highlight material that could have been. Reed's patented swamp blues guitar and harmonica lines mixed with his uniquely lazy vocal style are in the forefront of tunes like "Got Me Chasing You," "You Know You're Looking Good," "In the Morning," and "Tell the World I Do." Any of the Jimmy Reed Vee Jay reissues are recommended. |

 Artist: Alison Ruble Album: This Is A Bird Label: Origin 82508 Year: 2008 Genre: Jazz Format, bitrate: 224vrb Time: 49:26 Size: 68,1 MB
Alison Ruble is a sublime vocalist with an adventurous spirit on her debut CD. Gifted with a rich alto and precise articulation, she blends elements of pop and folk into her infectious arrangement of Cole Porter's "So in Love," while her sublime, deliberate, and funky setting of "If I Had You" casts another chestnut in a very new light. Guitarist John McLean and Jim Gailloreto's playful alto flute provide sublime accompaniment for her warm vocals in "Skylark." Ruble also takes the standard "Lazy Afternoon" into new territory, blending McLean's folky guitar with Gailloreto's spirited soprano sax as the group gradually builds the tension to a soft climax. Ruble especially excels in duo settings, including a hip "It's Magic" with bassist Larry Kohut and a superb "This Nearly Was Mine" with pianist Jo Ann Daugherty. Only Burt Bacharach's monotonous "Always Something There to Remind Me" is a disappointment, as it pales when compared to the rest of the material on Alison Ruble's exciting debut as a leader. AMG

 Artist: Dakota Staton Album: The Late, Late Show Label: Collectables Year: February 28, 1957 Format, bitrate: MP3@192 kbit/s Time: 0.30:57 Size:41.83 MB
Singer Dakota Staton's first full-length album was one of her best. She had a hit with "The Late, Late Show" and performed memorable versions of "Broadway," "A Foggy Day," "What Do You See in Her," "My Funny Valentine" and "Mooney." Backed by a largely unidentified orchestra arranged by Van Alexander (with Hank Jones on piano), Staton sounds both youthful and mature, displaying a highly appealing voice on a near-classic set. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide

Lou Donaldson - Sunny Side Up (1960) |
Music » Jazz » BeBop » Hard-bop |
|
|
 Artist: Lou Donaldson Album: Sunny Side Up Label: Blue Note Year: 1960 Quality: FLAC & MP3@320 kbit/s Size: 246 MB & 87 MB Time: 38:44 Sunny Side Up is closer to hard bop than the straight-ahead bop that characterized Lou Donaldson's '50s Blue Note records. There's a bit more soul to the songs here, which pianist Horace Parlan helps emphasize with his lightly swinging grooves. The pair help lead the group — which also features trumpeter Bill Hardman, drummer Al Harewood and bassist Sam Jones (Laymon Jackson plays bass on two of the eight songs) — through a mellow set of standards and bluesy originals from Donaldson and Parlan. Even the uptempo numbers sound relaxed, never fiery. Despite the general smoothness of the session, Donaldson stumbles a little — the quotation of "Flight of the Bumblebee" on "Blues for J.P." is awkward, as is the snippet of "Pop Goes the Weasel" on "Politely," and "Way Down Upon the Swanee River" sounds lazy — but there's enough solid material to make Sunny Side Up a worthwhile listen for fans of Donaldson and early-'60s hard bop. ~ Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine, AMG. |

 Artist: Nina Simone Album: Nina Simone at the Village Gate (live) Label: Roulette / Blue Note Records Year: 1961, release July 16, 1991 Format, bitrate: MP3@320 kbit/s Time: 0.44:59 Size: 95 MB AMG rating:  Nina Simone has the rare ability of really being able to dig into material and bring out unexpected meaning in familiar lyrics. On "Just in Time" from this CD reissue, she gives one the impression that if she had not been found "Just in Time," she would have committed suicide. During "He Was Too Good to Me," Simone sounds absolutely stunned about the end of a love affair. "Brown Baby" is both hopeful and defiant in its call for freedom, while "Zungo" is an African work song. Also from her 1961 trio performance at the Village Gate, Simone performs the overly serious "If He Changed My Name," the good-time gospel piece "Children Go Where I Send You," a regretful rendition of "House of the Rising Sun," and an unpredictable instrumental version of "Bye Bye Blackbird." Nina Simone, who was always in a category by herself, is heard throughout in her early prime. ~ Review by Scott Yanow, AMG. |
