1980: Chuck Mangione - Tarantella |
Music » Jazz » Fusion » Crossover Jazz |
 |
|
 Artist: Chuck Mangione Album: Tarantella Label: A&M Records Year: 1980 Format, bitrate: MP3 / 320 kbs Time: 60:26 Size: 189 Mb AMG rating:  Этот двойной концертный альбом представляет как типичный материал знаменитого флюгергорниста, так и его джемы с Диззи Гилеспи и Чиком Кориа! Отличное исполнение и звук!
This two-LP set is an unusual Chuck Mangione record. Taken from a marathon live concert, the flьgelhornist is featured with a big band. The first album has fairly typical performances (including versions of "Legend of the One-Eyed Sailor" and "Hill Where the Lord Hides"), but it is the second half that is most notable. Mangione performs such boppish numbers as "Things to Come," "'Round Midnight," and "Manteca" with guest Dizzy Gillespie; duets with Chick Corea on "My One and Only Love"; and stretches out on "All Blues." He also welcomes such old associates as his brother, keyboardist Gap Mangione, plus tenorman Sal Nistico and altoist Joe Romano, so this is certainly not a typical Chuck Mangione A&M pop record. Not yet reissued, this surprising set is recommended. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |

1966: Archie Shepp - Mama Too Tight |

 Artist: Archie Shepp Album: Mama Too Tight Label: Grp Records Year:August 1966 Release:March 10, 1998 Format, bitrate:FLAC Size: 365MB AMG Rating:  The octet Archie Shepp surrounded himself with in 1966 was filled with new and old faces. The twin trombones of Roswell Rudd and Grachan Moncur III embodied this, but so did bassist Charlie Haden and trumpeter Tommy Turrentine, while familiar figures like drummer Beaver Harris and tubaist Howard Johnson had been part of Shepp's regular band. There are four tracks on Mama Too Tight, all of them in some way acting as extensions of the opening three-part suite, "A Portrait of Robert Thomson (As a Young Man)." Shepp had hit his stride here compositionally. The track is, at first, a seeming free jazz blowout, but then traces the history of jazz, gospel, and blues through its three sections. Certainly there is plenty of atonality, but there is plenty of harmonic and rhythmic invention too. The piece, almost 19 minutes in length, has an intricate architecture that uses foreshadowing techniques and complex resolution methods. The title track is a post-bop blues swinger with a killer front-line riff turning in and out as the trombones go head to head. And finally, "Basheer," with its Eastern modality that transposes itself toward blues and folk music, becomes a statement on the transitional ties the '60s were ushering in musically. Here again, lots of free blowing, angry bursts of energy, and shouts of pure revelry are balanced with Ellingtonian elegance and restraint that was considerable enough to let the lyric line float through and encourage more improvisation. This is Shepp at his level best. ~ Thom Jurek, All Music Guide |

2004: Deep Blue Organ Trio - Deep Blue Bruise |

 Artist: Deep Blue Organ Trio Album: Deep Blue Bruise Label: Delmark Year: 2004 Genre: soul-jazz Format, bitrate: mp3, 320kb/s Time: 67:16 Size:86,0 МБ Philadelphia jazz singer Lou Lanza had an excellent point when he asserted that jazz improvisers who ignore rock and R&B songs "are cutting themselves off from a lot of worthwhile material." Lanza wasn't suggesting that jazz artists should totally give up the Tin Pan Alley standards they've been performing all these years -- actually, he's done plenty of Cole Porter and Irving Berlin gems himself -- but he was saying that if you're going to use popular songs as vehicles for jazz expression, there is no reason not to interpret Sting, Billy Joel or Prince along with Harry Warren and George Gershwin. And if Deep Blue Bruise is any indication, the members of the Deep Blue Organ Trio -- leader/organist Chris Foreman, guitarist Bobby Broom and drummer Greg Rockingham -- feel the same way. While Deep Blue Bruise is definitely an album of instrumental jazz, only a few of the songs on this soul-jazz/hard bop/post-bop disc were actually written as jazz instrumentals. Joe Henderson's "Granted" and Broom's exuberant title track were jazz instrumentals from birth, but most of the songs on this 2004 date started out in popular music -- and that is true of "Polka Dots and Moonbeams" and "These Foolish Things" (both from Tin Pan Alley) as well as Prince's "Raspberry Beret," the Doors' "Light My Fire" and Earth, Wind & Fire's "Can't Hide Love." What the Deep Blue Organ Trio does to these songs isn't smooth jazz or NAC music; this is a passionate, hard-swinging organ combo in the Jimmy Smith/Richard "Groove" Holmes/Shirley Scott/Jack McDuff tradition, and a real improviser's mentality prevails whether the Chicago threesome is tackling Ervin Drake's "It Was a Very Good Year" or the Isaac Hayes tune "Cafй Regio's." Although not innovative by 21st century standards, Deep Blue Bruise is a satisfying, noteworthy effort that die-hard Hammond B-3 enthusiasts will appreciate. ~ Alex Henderson, All Music Guide |

1964: Booker Ervin - The Blues Book |

 Artist: Booker Ervin Album: The Blues Book Year: 1964 Label: Prestige/OJC Format: MP3 @ 320 kb/s Time: 00:41:29 Size: 91,3 mb AMG Rating:   REPOST with new link from Mr.lex На мой скромный взгляд – главное творение Эрвина. Вот уж где мощь! Мужское начало в каждой ноте. Какая-то обезоруживающая бескомпромиссность в звуке. Настойчивость и уверенность, свойственная только тем, кто точно знает, что хочет сказать… Стопроцентный альбом! Очень рекомендую всем. For this CD reissue in his series of Books, Ervin and his quintet (with trumpeter Carmell Jones, pianist Gildo Mahones, bassist Richard Davis, and drummer Alan Dawson) perform four very different blues: the speedy "One for Mort," a low-down "No Booze Blooze," the modal "True Blue," and the minor-toned "Eerie Dearie." The consistently passionate Ervin makes each of the fairly basic originals sound fresh and the performances are frequently exciting inside/outside music. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |

1929-1934: Jack Teagarden - I Gotta Right to Sing the Blues |
Music » Jazz » Traditional Jazz |

|
 Artist - Jack Teagarden Album - I Gotta Right to Sing the Blues Label - ASV/Living Era Years: 1929-1934, release - 1989 Quality - MP3@320 kbps Size - 121 mb Total time - 57:39 REPOST with a new link Here is a collection of 18 tracks in which the ebullient trombonist and vocalist Jack Teagarden is prominent. The performances themselves deserve a higher rating, maybe the highest possible, but anyone save the most casual listener will want to own something more representative and detailed than this sort of set. The basic program featured here, in which there are segments of Benny Goodman swing, the blues compositions of W.C. Handy, and funny novelties including "The Sheik of Araby" and "Texas Tea Party," originated as a budget-line LP on Epic. Various versions have come out, consumers having the pick of vinyl editions with skimpy playing time or a digital version that has been expanded into what also constitutes skimpy playing time for that format. Good stuff galore is to be heard, fear not, if someone is stuck having to listen to Jack Teagarden on this kind of cheapster release. Fats Waller drops by with a loud thump; so do several interesting session guitarists from the period such as Perry Botkin. These are just a few of the names worth mentioning on a selection of titles that goes between 1929 and 1934, copyright issues about as vague as the dust from a witch doctor's bag. Teagarden himself makes every cut a pleasure, whether indulging in odd moments of soloing magic or delivering a rise for one and all with his vocals. ~ Eugene Chadbourne, All Music Guide |

Classic Capitol Jazz Sessions Vol 1-4 |

 Artist: Various Artists Album: Classic Capitol Jazz Sessions Vol 1-4 Label: Mosaic Year: 1942 - 1953 Release: 1997 Genre: Jazz/Big Band/Bop Format mp3, bitrate: 192 kb/s vbr Time: 3:59:28 Size: 209 Mb (booklet) AMG Rating:  Even for the Mosaic label, this limited-edition 12-CD box set is miraculous. Unlike most of their other efforts, this is not a "complete" set, although each of the 65 sessions covered is complete. A collection of mostly formerly rare sessions made for Capitol during its first 11 years, the music ranges from Dixieland in the Bob Crosby Bobcats manner to some swing-oriented big bands and a touch of bop. The quantity (245 selections) and the high quality are both remarkable. Included are exciting sessions by Paul Whiteman, Eddie Miller, Nappy Lamare, Ray Bauduc, Marvin Ash, Wingy Manone, Johnny Mercer, Scatman Crothers, Deane Kincaide, Armand Hug, Frankie Trumbauer (his last recordings), Pud Brown, Bud Freeman, Zutty Singleton, Bobby Hackett, Sid Catlett, Al Casey, the Capitol Jazzmen, Jack Teagarden, Anita O'Day, Ten Cats and a Mouse, the Benny Carter big band, Jess Stacy, Joe Sullivan, Mel Powell, the exciting and very underrated Cootie Williams Orchestra, Murray McEachern, Rex Stewart, Sonny Greer, Louie Bellson, Carl Kress, Kay Starr, Red Norvo and Stan Hasselgard. A remarkable and highly enjoyable set which contains many previously unreleased recordings. - Scott Yanow at AMG |

1962: Dizzy Gillespie - New Wave |

 Artist - Dizzy Gillespie Album - New Wave Label - Philips Year - 1962, release - 1963 Quality - MP3@320 kbps (LP-rip) Size - 73,7 mb Total time - 34:08 AMG Rating Этот превосходный, довольно редкий альбом, как мне кажется, нужно рассматривать, как продолжение сессии, начатой в уже хорошо знакомом альбоме этого Гениального музыканта - Dizzy On the French Riviera, там те же музыканты, те же даты записи. Странно, что до сих эти записи не объединили в одном альбоме. Надеюсь, что испанские лейблы, которые в последние годы переиздают массу хорошей музыки 50х-60х годов прошлого века, восполнят этот пробел. It is such a pity that Dizzy Gillespie Philips' LPs have yet to be reissued on CD, for the trumpeter (45 at the time of this recording) was at the peak of his powers in the early '60s. On such songs as "In a Shanty in Old Shanty Town," "Careless Love," "One Note Samba" and the "Theme from Black Orpheus," Gillespie and his expanded quintet (with guests Bola Sete or Elec Bacsik on guitar and Charlie Ventura taking a memorable bass sax solo on "No More Blues-Part II") show a great deal of spirit and creativity. Leo Wright (on alto and flute) and pianist Lalo Schifrin are also in fine form throughout this gem. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |

McCoy Tyrner & Bobby Hutcherson - Manhattan Moods |

 Artist: McCoy Tyrner & Bobby Hutcherson Album: Manhattan Moods Label: Blue Note Year: 1993 Release: 1994 Style: Post-Bop Format mp3, bitrate: 256 kb/s vbr Time: 57:44 Size: 116 Mb (cover) AMG Rating:  Pianist McCoy Tyner and vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson (who doubles on marimba during this set) had recorded together previously on several occasions but never for a full set as a duet. It is not too surprising that they blend together quite well for both remain advanced improvisers who are tied to the hard bop/modal tradition. They perform two originals apiece plus five standards including "Blue Monk," "I Loves You Porgy" and Mal Waldron's "Soul Eyes." A pleasing effort full of subtle creativity. - Scott Yanow at AMG |

David Murray - Special Quartet |

 Artist: David Murray Album: Special Quartet Label: Columbia Release: 1990 Style: Post-Bop/Avant-Garde Jazz Format mp3, bitrate: 256 kb/s Time: 50:54 Size: 93,3 Mb AMG Rating:  When one reads the personnel on this CD, the potential seems enormous: tenor saxophonist David Murray, pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Fred Hopkins, and drummer Elvin Jones. Murray was a good choice for the tenor slot because, although influenced by John Coltrane's adventurous spirit, he has never sounded like Coltrane, coming closer to the Ben Webster/Paul Gonsalves tradition but with a style of his own. In addition to Trane's "Cousin Mary" and "In a Sentimental Mood" (which Coltrane had recorded with Duke Ellington, and Murray takes as a duet with Tyner), the music includes three of the tenor's originals (including "3-D Family") and a Butch Morris song. The fresh material really pushes Tyner, who mostly sticks to standards with his own trio, while Jones sounds as passionate as usual. A successful outing full of mutual inspiration, this CD is easily recommended. - Scott Yanow at AMG |

2000: The Essential Nina Simone |

 Artist: Nina Simone Album: The Essential Nina Simone Label: Metro Year: 2000 Format, bitrate: mp3, 320kb/s Time: 73:03 Size: 153MB While there's some good music on this 73-minute CD, it could in no qualify as the essential Nina Simone. It's a patchy quilt of songs from the 1950s to the 1980s, reaching as far back as late-'50s sessions from early in her career, and stretching through several subsequent decades, including two songs from a 1985 album with clumsy glossy modern production, and seven songs from her In Concert album thrown in along the way. That's not, incidentally, her 1964 Philips In Concert album, but an identically titled release that's obviously from much later, since there are references to Michael Jackson and Ronald Reagan inserted into one of the songs. Other than that pair of 1985 tracks, the music is good, and sometimes superb, as on her version of "Mood Indigo." However, if you like Simone enough to hear these specific performances, it's far more coherent to collect the complete albums and sessions from which they were selected. If you want an anthology, there are much better ones out there, even if those collections usually focus on just one chronological phase of her long discography. Although there are liner notes by noted author Lucy O'Brien, little is supplied in the way of specific dates and original release information. ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide |
