Artist: Chick Corea, Steve Gadd, Christian McBride Album: Super Trio Label: Stretch Year: 2005 Format, bitrate: Mp3, 320 kb/s Time: 1:18:32 Size: 236 Mb (covers) Bubu's Rating:
Why Super Trio is only being released in Japan is a mystery. This live set revisits material from Now He Sings, Now He Sobs (Solid State, 1968), Light as a Feather (Polydor, 1972), The Mad Hatter (Polydor, 1978), Friends (Polydor, 1978) and Three Quartets (Warner Brothers, 1981), focusing as much on Corea the composer as Corea the pianist. In the same way that recent trios led by guitarist Pat Metheny have drawn from a broad cross-section of writing from his entire repertoire, Super Trio is a reminder of how many memorable tunes Corea has written—many still becoming part of the collective musical unconscious. Still, it's not as if the trio doesn't exercise broad liberty with the material. Take the open-ended version of "Matrix," one of Corea's earliest compositions, for example. Bassist Christian McBride's opening solo, free though it may be, insidiously alludes to the familiar theme without giving away the store. Corea and drummer Steve Gadd join in on the free play; while Corea may have for the most part left the more obfuscated cerebralism of his pre-Return to Forever group Circle behind, it's still part of his vernacular. The trio takes its time, stretching the source material every which way, never completely coalescing for the melody—instead, dancing around it for nearly fourteen minutes and proving just how malleable Corea's writing can be.. . .
Artist: Sergio Salvatore Album: Tune Up Label: GRP Year: 1994 Format, bitrate: MP3@320 Time: 53:57 Size: 93.1MB AMG Rating:
Sergio Salvatore certainly qualifies as a prodigy, having recorded two albums for GRP by the time he was 13. His father is a music teacher while his mother is a singer. Sergio began taking serious piano lessons at age four and amazingly enough his first two recordings give no hint as to his youth. Salvatore, who is influenced by Keith Jarrett and Chick Corea among others, held his own with the all-star casts (which include Dave Samuels, Bob Mintzer, Randy Brecker, and even Corea), quite an impressive start to what should be a lengthy career. ~ Scott Yanow, AMG
Pianist Sergio Salvatore was only 13 at the time of this recording, his second release. But despite his extreme youth, one forgets Salvatore's age by the third song. He certainly gets the star treatment on the date, playing quartets with Gary Burton, interacting with the Brecker Brothers, and even duetting with Chick Corea on "Sea Journey." But Salvatore somehow manages to keep up with his illustrious sidemen, and the fairly complex music (which includes three of his impressive originals) rewards repeated listenings. ~ Scott Yanow , AMG

Итак, друзья мои, наступила очередная среда, и моя цветочная лавка снова распахнула двери для посетителей. Давайте сегодня послушаем, так сказать, современных классиков - Марио Кастельнуово-Тедеско и Гвидо Санторсолу. А помогут нам в этом замечательном деле бразильские братья-гитаристы Сержиу и Эдуарду Абреу. Итак...
A consonant jazz fusion delight with mediterenean scents that gives life to an imaginary musical result from a remarkable band which surprises and carries away its audience. The Greek lyrical guitarist Lefteris Christofis is the kind of an artist who through his music transfers internal images, visions and scenes from the realm of reality and fantasy. In his new CD "NOUS ICONS" released worldwidely by Blue Note Records he creates well – built melodic compositions with unusual rhythmical moods and a diversity of the colours of sound. Modal melodies, calidoscopic harmonies, lyrical vocals are supported by groovy rhythms in order to create the spirit of improvisation that gives space to the musicians for an impressive performing status. ~ Allaboutjazz.com
Artist: Various Artists Album: Gabe’s Dirty Blues Release: 1978 Format, bitrate: mp3, 320 kbps (vinyl rip) Size: 88+83 MB
Некий хороший человек по имени Gabe McManus, владевший в 40-60х годах парочкой баров в Сиэтле и любивший ритм-энд-блюз, блюз и джаз, сварганил этот великолепный сборник. Другой хороший человек по имени Issaquah не пожалел сил, чтобы отыскать этот двойной виниловый альбом, оцифровать его и запустить в сеть. Результат - 30 треков, совершенно роскошнейшая подборка ритм-энд-блюза. Наслаждайтесь!
For this somewhat obscure Chick Corea LP, the pianist teams up with flutist Steve Kujala for a set of duets. Together they perform three of Corea's lesser-known originals along with two melodic free improvisations. It's pleasant music but not particularly memorable compared to Corea's group projects. ~ Scott Yanow, AMG
One of Chick's best from the ECM stuff. Harmonically more complex and adventurous. Great CD. Steve Kujala hunts and explores right along with Chick. "Bending" notes on his flute like a flamenco flautist. If you like a little harmonic adventure, try this one. What does this have to do with "smooth jazz?" Thankfully nothing. This is the real stuff. This might be mellow in that it is acoustic piano and flute, but musically, it is anything but mellow. ~ Amazon.com
Artist - Count Basie & His Orchestra Album - On My Way And Shoutin' Again! Count Basie & His Orchestra Play Music By Neal Hefty Label - Verve Year - 1962, release - 2009 Quality - MP3@320 kbps Size - 73,2 mb Total time - 33:59 When Count Basie returned to Verve Records in 1962, Neal Hefti was contracted to write the tunes and arrangements, a revival of their partnership from the 1958 Roulette LP Basie Plays Hefti. While none of these selections is as famous as his songs like "Cute," "Little Pony," "Splanky," "Li'l Darlin'," and "Repetition," the substantial originality of this music is hard to deny, not to mention that the expert musicians playing his music bring these tracks fully to life in a livelier fashion than most laid-back Basie studio sessions. In fact, it has the feeling of a concert date that trumps the more clean, controlled environment of a session that was recorded on a three-track reel-to-reel. There's also plenty of room for exceptional solos from most of the participants, as Hefti is mindful of who is in the band and how each musician might sound when given his head. This is tried and true swing-oriented modern big-band music that actually sounds advanced for its time frame, and is solid as anything Basie has done post-"April in Paris." The band is atypically bold and brazen on the opener, "I'm Shoutin' Again," with Frank Wess on alto (not tenor) sax for his spirited solo. The great chart of "Jump for Johnny" is a hard bopper for Johnny Carson, basic Basie with tenor saxophonist Frank Foster and trumpeter Sonny Cohn trading licks. Hefti's best work is showcased during "Together Again," as the hopping brass and singing horns take tuneful twists and turns. This set also includes the classic track "The Long Night," a famous blues featuring the sly flute of Wess in front of the horn section and a masterful muted solo by trumpeter Thad Jones. There are other tunes that are derivative, as you can clearly hear the borrowed phrases of "C Jam Blues"/"Duke's Place" in the low-key then blasted-out "Eee Dee," "Shiny Stockings" sprinkled about during the more typical laid-back "Rose Bud," and "Groove Merchant" or "Hallelujah, I Just Love Him So" in the easy-swinging soul groove of "Ain't That Right." Hefti's movie soundtrack experience comes to the fore on "Shanghaied," definite spy music with Cohn's muted trumpet masking phobias and paranoia. There are two cute tunes: "Skippin' with Skitch," led by three flutes (Wess, Eric Dixon, and Charlie Fowlkes); and the lightly strutting "Ducky Bumps," featuring Henry Coker's trombone, with brief solos from Basie's piano and bassist Buddy Catlett. A solid and worthwhile album that has been out of print for far too long, this will be a welcome addition to any Basie lover's collection, and comes highly recommended to anyone even mildly interested in excellent large-ensemble mainstream jazz.
Artist: The Philadelphia Orchestra (cond.Riccardo Muti) Album: Mussorgsky - Pictures At An Exhibition/Stravinsky - Firebird Label: EMI Year: 1985 Format, bitrate: MP3, 320 KB/s Size: 117 MB Time: 51:02
The current Gramophone Compact Disc Guide and Catalogue lists four versions of the Mussorgsky and four of the complete Firebird. One of the latter, Sir Colin Davis and the Concertgebouw Orchestra (Philips 400 074-2PH, 3/83), is like the present issue a digital transfer of an analogue recording and very impressive indeed: in fact it has greater detail and a richer ambience than this EMI. However, so far as performances are concerned, this newcomer can hold its own with most rival CD Pictures and so far as The Firebird is concerned, there is currently no alternative listing of the 1919 suite. Muti gets excellent playing from the Philadelphia Orchestra and though their response is admirably disciplined, it is never so drilled and hard-driven as some of the later records Muti has made in Philadelphia. Indeed, there is delicacy and poetry in the Dance of the Princesses and the Berceuse in Firebird, and the colours of this score are heard in full splendour. Putting the CD and LP versions side by side, there is no doubt that the new format offers the greater range and firmness. In any event this is a welcome issue, which can be recommended even to those readers who have not always responded to recent records from this conductor. ' Gramophone 4/1985, Robert Layton
Artist: Charles Mingus Album: Charles Mingus in Buenos Aires Year: 1977 Format: mp3, 320 kb/s Time: 46 min Size: 100 MB
Mingus' "Three or four shades of Blues" album (1977) represented an attempt to broaden his appeal to the younger rock-loving generations by using guitars (Catherine, Coryell, Scofield) and young white musicians associated with pop-jazz fusion, summing up a band of ten. When Mingus first heard the tapes, he was contemptuous and sent a scathing telegram to his producer, accusing the label of making him look ridiculous. But when that record outsold all his others, he changed his mind.... In the present CD - recorded just three months later - the band is a mere quintette, retaining the same jazz musicians, the music pure distilled Mingus.

REPOST with a new link
Trumpeter Buck Clayton led a series of exciting studio jam sessions during the mid-'50s. All of the performances are on this superlative three-CD box set including a few "new" alternate takes and several that have been restored to their full length. Among the many soloists (most of them swing-oriented stylists) are Clayton, Joe Newman, Joe Thomas, Billy Butterfield, and Ruby Braff on trumpets; trombonists Urbie Green, Benny Powell, Henderson Chambers, Trummy Young, Bennie Green, Dicky Harris, J.C. Higginbotham, and Tyree Glenn; altoist Lem Davis; tenors Coleman Hawkins, Al Cohn, and Buddy Tate; Julian Dash doubling on tenor and alto; baritonist Charlie Fowlkes; several rhythm sections with pianists Sir Charles Thompson, Jimmy Jones, Billy Kyle, Ken Kersey, and the forgotten Al Waslohn; and a guest appearance by Woody Herman on clarinet. These generally lengthy performances contain plenty of spontaneous riffing behind soloists and lots of special moments; "How Ili the Fi" is quite memorable.

Посмотрев очередной раз свою любимую комедию "Джордж из Динки-джаза" с Джорджем Формби получил заряд бодрости. Решил закрепить мной увиденное и услышанное. В поисках музыки тех суровых лет наткнулся на диск с музыкой 1937-1943 годов. И … как там пела та певичка у Валентина Пикуля в Реквиеме каравану PQ-17:
… Последний раз играет джаз, Последний раз пою для вас . . .
Artist: Mark O'Connor's Hot Swing Trio Album: In Full Swing Label: Odyssey (2003) Year: 2002 Format, bitrate: mp3, 320k/s & FLAC Size: 339 & 133 MB (full covers) Time: 57:15 AMG Rating:
Mark O'Connor's second CD with his Hot Swing Trio is more than just a salute to the late, legendary jazz violinist Stephane Grappelli; it firmly establishes as him as a bona fide jazz violin virtuoso, thanks to being distributed by a major label this time around. The capable guitarist Frank Vignola plays gypsy swing a` la Django Reinhardt without sounding like a clone; bassist Jon Burr, who spent a decade as a member of Grappelli's rhythm section in his last years, provides a perfect match for his two bandmates. Each member of the trio contributed originals to the session. O'Connor's "In Full Swing" is absolutely breathtaking, while it is fun imagining how Grappelli and Reinhardt might have interpreted his enticing "Stephane and Django." Burr's pulsating "Three for All" and Vignola's lyrical "A Beautiful Friendship" are also worthwhile songs. The remaining selections all come from the repertoire of either Grappelli or the Grappelli-Reinhardt partnership, with occasional guest appearances by Wynton Marsalis and singer Jane Monheit. There are plenty of fireworks in the trio's wild ride through "Limehouse Blues" (which, of course, isn't a blues at all). The high-flying duo introduction to "Tiger Rag" by O'Connor and Marsalis is a meeting of two masters. Monheit's interpretations of "Misty" and "As Time Goes By" are merely average, and she doesn't loosen up enough to appreciate the fun within Fats Waller's "Honeysuckle Rose," though Marsalis makes up for her shortcomings. In any case, Mark O'Connor's Hot Swing Trio provide first-rate swing all by themselves, so adding guests isn't really necessary. ~ Ken Dryden, AMG
