1971: John Lennon - Imagine |
Music » Rock music |

|
 Artist: John Lennon Album: Imagine (Digitally Remastered and Remixed) Label:Capitol Records Year: 1971, release:2000 Formate: APE - Cue (784 kbps) Total time:39:29 Size: 228 Mb AMG Rating:  After the harrowing Plastic Ono Band, John Lennon returned to calmer, more conventional territory with Imagine. While the album had a softer surface, it was only marginally less confessional than its predecessor. Underneath the sweet strings of "Jealous Guy" lies a broken and scared man, the jaunty "Crippled Inside" is a mocking assault at an acquaintance, and "Imagine" is a paean for peace in a world with no gods, possessions, or classes, where everyone is equal. And Lennon doesn't shy away from the hard rockers -- "How Do You Sleep" is a scathing attack on Paul McCartney, "I Don't Want to Be a Soldier" is a hypnotic antiwar song, and "Give Me Some Truth" is bitter hard rock. If Imagine doesn't have the thematic sweep of Plastic Ono Band, it is nevertheless a remarkable collection of songs that Lennon would never be able to better again. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide |

1955: Miles Davis - Blue Moods |

 Artist - Miles Davis Album - Blue Moods Label - OJC/Debut Year - 1955, release - 1990 Quality - MP3@320 kbps Size - 57,5 mb Total time - 26:45 In the '50s, the party line among New York jazz critics was that hard bop was the "true faith" and that cool jazz was lightweight and unemotional. But Miles Davis knew better. The trumpeter (whose Birth of the Cool sessions of 1949-1950 proved to be incredibly influential) was smart enough to realize that cool jazz and hard bop were equally valid parts of the house that Charlie Parker built, and he had no problem working with cool jazzmen one minute and hard boppers the next. Recorded for Charles Mingus' Debut label in 1955, Blue Moods is an excellent example of cool jazz. However, not all of the musicians who join Davis on this album were full-time members of jazz's cool school. Although vibist Teddy Charles was cool-oriented, Mingus (upright bass) and Elvin Jones (drums) were never considered cool players and the lyrical trombonist Britt Woodman was, in the '50s, best known for his association with Duke Ellington. Nonetheless, the things that characterized cool jazz subtlety, restraint, and understatement characterize Blue Moods. Mingus and Jones were certainly capable of being forceful and aggressive, but you won't hear them being intense on this disc; a very laid-back, gently introspective approach prevails on interpretations of "Easy Living," "Alone Together," "Nature Boy," and "There's No You." Clocking in at 27 minutes, Blue Moods is quite skimpy by most standards unfortunately, Fantasy didn't have any alternate takes to add. But even so, Blue Moods offers considerable rewards to those who have a taste for '50s cool jazz. ~ Alex Henderson, All Music Guide |

 Artist: Miles Davis Album: A Tribute to Jack Johnson Label: Sony Year: April 7, 1970 Release: 2009 Format, bitrate: mp3, 320kb/s Time: 52:26 Size: 116MB AMG Rating:  Repost None of Miles Davis' recordings has been more shrouded in mystery than Jack Johnson, yet none has better fulfilled Miles Davis' promise that he could form the "greatest rock band you ever heard." Containing only two tracks, the album was assembled out of no less than four recording sessions between February 18, 1970, and June 4, 1970, and was patched together by producer Teo Macero. Most of the outtake material ended up on Directions, Big Fun, and elsewhere. The first misconception is the lineup: the credits on the recording are incomplete. For the opener, "Right Off," the band is Miles, John McLaughlin, Billy Cobham, Herbie Hancock, Michael Henderson, and Steve Grossman (no piano player!), which reflects the liner notes. This was from the musicians' point of view, in a single take, recorded as McLaughlin began riffing in the studio while waiting for Miles; it was picked up on by Henderson and Cobham, Hancock was ushered in to jump on a Hammond organ (he was passing through the building), and Miles rushed in at 2:19 and proceeded to play one of the longest, funkiest, knottiest, and most complex solos of his career. Seldom has he cut loose like that and played in the high register with such a full sound. In the meantime, the interplay between Cobham, McLaughlin, and Henderson is out of the box, McLaughlin playing long, angular chords centering around E. This was funky, dirty rock & roll jazz. ... |

 Artist: Lou Donaldson Album: Blues Walk Label:Blue Note Year:rec. 1958/rel.1987 Format: MP 3 @ 320 Kb/s Time:34:08 Size:74.6 Mb AMG rating:   REPOST to my friends in JBC! Please enjoy, the link available for registered users also!
BLUES WALK is a fitting title for this 1958 release. Made up of six mid-tempo, blues-influenced tunes, the album features alto saxophonist Lou Donaldson and his group creating enjoyable, laid-back jazz that relies more on deep-pocketed grooves than compositional acumen or heady abstractions. Throughout the record, Donaldson is in full command of his horn, and his solos effortlessly combine the blues with bebop. |

1961: Baby Face Willette - Face To Face |

 Artist: Baby Face Willette Album: Face To Face Year: rel. 2007/rec. january 30, 1961 Label: Bue Note Format: MP3 @ 32o Kbps Time:55:03 Size:110.5 Mb AMG rating:  REPOST to my friends in JBC! Please enjoy, the link available for registered users also!
While it's true that Baby Face Willette's Stop and Listen is widely regarded as his finest recording, this, his Blue Note debut from January of 1961, should not by any means be overlooked. After all, before this session he had the same lot most of Blue Note artists did at the time; they played as sidemen on other's recordings before being allowed to headline their own dates. Willette performed on dates by Grant Green (Grant's First Stand) and Lou Donaldson (Here 'Tis). Face to Face boasts a mighty meat and potatoes soul-jazz lineup: Green on guitar, Fred Jackson on tenor, and drummer Ben Dixon. Comprised of six cuts (and two alternates on the Blue Note CD), five of them are Willette originals. The evidence of the rough and rowdy side of Willette's playing is evident from the opener, "Swinging at Sugar Ray's." His approach to the B-3 is far more percussive than Jimmy Smith's, each note is a distinct punch; not only in his solos, but in his chord and head approaches. His solo is a nasty, knotty blues sprint that encompasses gospel licks and R&B fills, too. The other notable thing about the cut is Green's guitar break that shows a side of him we seldom got to hear early on, where he's bending strings, playing in the high register, and using intense single-note runs. It's nearly a breathless way to open a record. Things slow down on the blues "Goin' Down" that features a nice emotive solo by Jackson. The mambo-infused "Whatever Lola Wants" by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross comes next and includes some beautiful stop-and-and start moves in the melody, as well as beautiful call and response between Jackson and Willette, while Dixon's drums shift around the outside before the whole thing breaks down into a groover.

 Artists - Herb Ellis & Stuff Smith Album - Together! Label - Koch Jazz Year - 1963, release - 1995 Quality - MP3@320 kbps Size - 112 mb Total time - 52:22 AMG Rating  REPOST with a new link This Koch CD reissues an interesting and very successful matchup between guitarist Herb Ellis and the great swing violinist Stuff Smith. Pianist Lou Levy and Bob Enevoldsen (doubling on his cool-toned tenor and valve trombone) contribute some solos and drummer Shelly Manne adds fine support. The reissue (which has three alternate takes in addition to the original six-song program) features plenty of cooking and strong interplay between Stuff and Ellis on some blues, the ancient standard "How Come You Do Me Like You Do" (which has one of the violinist's two personable vocals) and Smith's two originals "Hillcrest" and "Skip It." This is one of Ellis' personal favorite records and one of the best recordings from Stuff Smith's later years. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |

 Artist: Sonny Rollins Album: Tour De Force Label: OJC/Prestige Year: 1956 , release: 1991 Format, bitrate:MP3;320k; lossless (flac+cue+log+scans) Size: 99 mb; 260 mb REPOST with add. FLAC links from Mr.hungaropitecus A better purchase than Sonny Boy (OJC 348) which has four of this set's six numbers plus "The House I Live In" from an earlier date. None of the Sonny Rollins' originals (which include "B. Swift," "B. Quick" and "Ee-Ah") on this release caught on. With pianist Kenny Drew, bassist George Morrow and drummer Max Roach completing the quartet, Rollins was in consistently creative form during this prime period but the overall set is not as classic as most of the tenor's other recordings from the 1950s. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |

 Artist - Jess Stacy & The Famous Sidemen Album - Tribute To Benny Goodman Label - Koch Records/Atlantic Years - 1954-1955, release - 1999 Quality - MP3@320 kbps Size - 87,5 mb Total time - 40:32 This album was one of pianist Jess Stacy's last (he would soon drift into semi-retirement), even though he was only 50 at the time and lived until 1994. Stacy leads a reunion of swing veterans (most of whom had formerly been with Benny Goodman) in a nonet including trumpeter Ziggy Elman (on one of his last significant sessions) and either Vido Musso or Babe Russin on tenor. In addition, Stacy is showcased on four trio numbers. With few exceptions ("Gee Baby Ain't I Good to You" and "Blues for Otis Ferguson"), the music is all taken from the repertoire of Benny Goodman's swing band, including "King Porter Stomp," "When Buddha Smiles," "Roll 'Em," "Don't Be That Way," and a brief "Sing, Sing, Sing." Easily recommended to swing collectors. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |

 Artist: Professor Longhair Album: 'Fess - The Professor Longhair Anthology 2CD Label: Rhino Records Years: 1949-1980, release:1993 Style:Louisiana Blues, Rhythm & Blues Format, bitrate: 320 mp3s Time: 2:11:50 Size: 302 mb AMG Rating:   The rhumba-rocking rhythms of Roy "Professor Longhair" Byrd live on throughout Rhino's 40-track retrospective of the New Orleans icon's amazing legacy. Most of the seminal stuff arrives early on: "Bald Head," the rollicking ode cut for Mercury in 1950, is followed by a raft of classics from his 1949 and 1953 Atlantic dates ("Tipitina," "Ball the Wall," "Who's Been Fooling You"), the storming 1957 "No Buts, No Maybes," and "Baby Let Me Hold Your Hand" for Ebb, and his beloved "Go to the Mardi Gras" as waxed for Ron in 1959. The second disc is a hodgepodge of material from the Professor's '70s comeback, all of it wonderful in its own way but not as essential as the early work. ~ Bill Dahl, All Music Guide |

On this sparse session, guitarist Jack Wilkins plays harmonically sophisticated improvisations on mostly common chord changes. His sound is very quiet, with most of the fire being inward and beneath the surface. Wilkins engages in close musical communication with bassist Steve LaSpina and drummer Jeff Hirshfield; pianist Marc Puricelli makes a group a quartet on "Why Did I Choose You." The emphasis is mostly on slower tempos, with a few exceptions including the minor blues "Trioart." This is music that grows in interest with each listen and should be played fairly loud on one's stereo, lest it be relegated to being merely in the background. An intriguing and subtle set that will reward those who listen closely. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |

This was to be Chet's last studio recording, and it is a nice way to remember Chet. When he was in good shape, and he surrounded himself with excellent sidemen (both the case here), he was as capable of creating magic. A good example of this is the title cut. Chet's never really played it much after his famous 1957 vocal and instrumental recording of the tune. He revives it one last time and gives one of the best vocal performances of his last years. - chetbakertribute.com |

Enrico Pieranunzi, Marc Johnson & Joey Baron - Play Morricone 2 |

 Artist: Enrico Pieranunzi, Marc Johnson & Joey Baron Album: Play Morricone 2 Label: CAM Year: 2002 Release: 2004 Genre: jazz'post-bop Format mp3, bitrate: 320 kb/s Time: 1:07:38 Size: 157 Mb (full covers) Our musical story began back in 1984 in Italy. Marc and Joey were in Italy as sidemen to Kenny Drew. They were supposed to give something like 10 concerts, but all of these were cancelled when Kenny's wife came down with a sudden health problem and he had to fly back to Denmark, where he was living at the time. One night someone called me from a club in Rome (the Music Inn) where I often used to play. The voice on the phone said: Hey Enrico, there are two guys here, a bass player and a drummer, and they're missing a pianist... how would you like to drop in and play with them?..." I was kind of surprised and asked "well, can you tell me their names?" When the voice on the phone told me the name of the bass player I said to myself "gues, he played in the last Bill Evans trio ... he's one of the greats. I guess it's worth going down to the club". I remember thinking how strange that this would happen right at a time when I was focusing on Bill Evans' music and artistry and how the bass player from Bill's last trio was in Rome and within few hours I was actually going to be playing with him... it all seemed so magical. I'd never heard of the drummer. Joey Baron, who, in fact, had never been in Italy before. In any case, I decided to go. I arrived at the club and went downstairs (the Music Inn was a typical "cave" -as they commonly call it in France- located in the basement of a very old building in the historic centre of Rome). Needless to say that I felt very excited. I went backstage where, seated in a dark comer, were these two young guys looking very depressed... |

 Artist: Ralph Burns Album: Perpetual Motion Label: Fresh Sounds Spain Year: 1955 Release: 2006 Genre: jazz/swing Format mp3, bitrate: 320 kb/s Time: 1:14:37 Size: 171 Mb Bubu's Rating:   EVERY DAY IS AN OSCAR PETERSON DAY ! Ralph Burns (1922-2001) was a polyvalent arranger and musician. Although his chief claim to fame was his association as an arranger pianist ventures. He could write and conduct a background for a popular singer one day, work on the score for a musical show the next, and lead an all-star jazz orchestra on a third.
On the first half of this CD we find the rare LP "Ralph Burns With The JATPs". According to Norman Granz "Ralph tried to capture the personality of the JATPs with his pen and baton. I think he succeeded," and we agree. As for the ten-piece band heard on the second half of this compilation, which was originally issued as an LP with the title "Jazz Studio 5", the results, while reflecting Burns' firm roots in jazz, display to full advantage the skill and flexibility of his creative orchestral ideas. - Absolute Distribution |
