 Artist - Jay McShann Album - Jay McShann - 1941-1943 Genre - Jazz, blues, boogie Label - Classics Years: 1941-1943, release - 1994 Quality - MP3@256 kbps Size - 112 mb (sharebee) Total time - 60:12 AMG Rating  Î÷åðåäíàÿ âñòðå÷à ñ óæå õîðîøî çíàêîìûì ìóçûêàíòîì.  ýòîì àëüáîìå ìîæíî óñëûøàòü
ñàìûå ïåðâûå çàïèñè, ñäåëàííûå ñ ó÷àñòèåì ãåíèàëüíîãî Charlie Parker! REPOST by request Twenty-one sides cut by Jay McShann and His Orchestra and the Jay McShann Quartet for Decca Records between 1941 and 1943, with Charlie Parker on about half of what's here, and stretching out on a handful of cuts. The highlight is the group's recording of "Confessin' the Blues," which was a huge hit and resulted in their recording of more than half a dozen similar vocal blues numbers, featuring Walter Brown (who wrote "Confessin'") on vocals. The material here is pretty much weighted to jump blues and boogie-woogie-style numbers, all of it hot and extraordinarily well-played. The pity is, between Decca's insistence on more songs like "Confessin' the Blues" (which was later covered by Chuck Berry and the Rolling Stones, among others) and the 1942 recordings band, not much of McShann's repertory or Parker's more outstanding material from the period was laid down. What is here, however, is extraordinary, some of the tightest, bluesiest jazz you'll ever here, all in excellent sound as well, and Parker does soar on a large handful of these tracks. ~ Bruce Eder, All Music Guide |

1960: Charles Persip And The Jazz Statesmen |

 Artist: Charles Persip Album: Charles Persip And The Jazz Statesmen Label: Bethlehem BCP 6046 Year: 1960 Format, bitrate: mp3@320 kbs Cover Front/Back HD Time: ~ 37 min Size: 82,24 MB AMG rating  Drummer Charlie Persip has not had that many opportunities to lead sessions through the years; in fact, this album was his only one until 1980. His quintet includes up-and-coming players (trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, tenor saxophonist Roland Alexander, pianist Ronnie Matthews, and bassist Ron Carter) whom one assumes he could not hold onto for long. The music (even the original) is essentially mainstream bop with some strong solos from the horns and several spots (most notably on "The Champ") for the leader. Trumpeter Marcus Belgrave subs for Hubbard on one of the five cuts. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |

2009: Woody Herman Sings Songs For Hip Lovers |

 Artist: Woody Herman Album: Woody Herman Sings Songs For Hip Lovers (2 Lps On 1 Cd) Label: Fresh Sound Records Year: 1957 Release: 2009 Format, bitrate: mp3, 320kb/s Size: 50.23MB If there is something for which we can especially thank Norman Granz, it is that he recorded Woody Herman, the singer, under such ideal circumstances. On top of that, Woody’s own background and memory lend great depth to the lyrics found here. In some tunes we hear him backed by combos, ranging from medium to small, that feature top notch jazz soloists including Ben Webster, Harry “Sweets” Edison, Jimmy Rowles, Barney Kessel, Herb Geller, and Charlie Shavers.
In others,he is well supported by a brassy big band conducted by Frank DeVol who also led a string orchestra on a final session which had the bonus of the stellar jazzmen, Ted Nash and Bill Harris . But in each context Woody is his wonderfully relaxed self, singing with an ardent yet controlled emotion that brings out and enhances every subtle nuance of the songs, ranging from sad, to bittersweet, to triumphant, all most particularly brought into focus by Woody’s own delightful, warm, wise, unsentimental (but romantic), and unpretentious, swinging singing. ~ Fresh Sound Records |

 Artist: Brad Mehldau, Mario Rossy, Perico Sambeat & Jordi Rossy Album: New York - Barcelona Crossing 2cd Label: Fresh Sound New Talent Year: 1993; release: 1997 Genre: Jazz/Post-Bop Format mp3, bitrate: 320 kb/s vbr Time: 2:12:18 Size: 226 Mb (covers) Brad Mehldau is an excellent pianist much acclaimed by the critics and enjoyed by the public. His studio recordings are all very nice and rewording but is in live concerts where comes out his whole talent and artistic inspiration. We have him here performing in a quartet with a sax, not the usual piano trio. The performance took place in Barcelona, the 10th of May 1993 at Jazz "Jamboree" festival. The repretoire is consisted of few originals & covers but especially of beautiful wellknown standards. |

1989: Ran Blake & Jeanne Lee - You Stepped out of a Cloud |

 Artist: Ran Blake & Jeanne Lee Album: You Stepped out of a Cloud Label: Owl/Universal Year: 1989; release: 2006 Format, bitrate: mp3 & 320 kbps Time: 57:48 Size: 108 MB In 1961, both pianist Ran Blake and singer Jeanne Lee (helped out on two cuts by bassist George Duvivier) made their recording debut with a set of coolly emotional duets. Nearly 28 years later, they had a reunion for this Owl CD, showing the musical growth they had experienced while still sounding quite recognizable; both had found their own musical paths early on. Half of the numbers on the set are originals (including Lee's "I Like Your Style"), but it is generally the fresh renditions of standards that are most memorable, including a haunting "You Stepped Out of a Dream," "Where Are You," "You Go to My Head" and "Alone Together." Blake and Lee should work together more often. ~ Scott Yanow , All Music Guide |

2004: Tomasz Stanko -ECM: Rarum XVII/Selected Recordings |

|
 Artist: Tomasz Stanko Album: ECM: Rarum XVII/Selected Recordings Release Date: 2004 Label: ECM Quality: FLAC (tracks) Size: 239+159 MB This volume, in the excellent Rarum series, begins with Stanko's first date as a leader for ECM in 1975 on the album Balladyna. There are two selections from the set highlighting what was well-known at the time as his radical "predatory lyricism" method of composition and soloing. These stand in subtle contrast with his solo on "Together," from Edward Vesala's Stau from a year later, where his soloing style was already in transition, and he moved even further afield when he played on Gary Peacock's beautiful album Voice From the Past, from which the selection "Moor" is taken. Stanko's harmonic interplay with saxophonist Jan Garbarek is nothing short of breathtaking. Stanko didn't record for ECM again until the mid-1990s, on his own Matka Joanna, by which time his longer, loping lines and more open method of composition, which left much room for silence, and his reliance on a languid yet rich and beautiful counterpoint, was coming to fruition. The majority of this fine set is taken from Matka Joanna, as well as from the titles Litania: The Music of Krzysztof Komeda, Leosia, and From the Green Hill. This is a welcome addition to the Stanko catalog in that it represents an artist who stands outside not only most jazz classification systems, but also apart from ECM's "classic" sound. Highly recommended. ~ Thom Jurek, All Music Guide |

 Artist: B.B. King Album: Live At San Quentin Label: MCA Records Year: ; release: 1991 Genre: Blues Format mp3, bitrate: 320 kb/s Time: 1:04:00 Size: 147 Mb (covers)  EVERY DAY IS A B.B. KING DAY ! Is there any doubt B.B. King has the sweetest sounding vibrato in blues history? "Live at San Quentin" is a tribute to B.B.'s greatness as a guitar hero and to his ability to entertain. If you can keep an unruly batch of inmates entertained, you must be doing something right. From "Let the Good Times Roll" to "Rock Me Baby," B.B. King shows here that he can make the blues fun- fast or slow. - Tatyana Logan (Leesburg, Virginia United States) at Amazon.com |

1954: Al Haig - One Day Session - Vogue & Esoteric Recordings |

 Artist: Al Haig Album: One Day Session - Vogue & Esoteric Recordings Label: Fresh Sound Records Year: 1954, release: 2007 Quality: MP3@320 kbps Size: 160 mb Total time: 73:45 Al Haig (1924-1982) was still on his twenties when he became one of the first influential bebop pianists, having played in the Forties in groups led by Diz, Bird, Wardell Gray, and Stan Getz among others. Haig’s was a singing approach to the piano as well as a swinging one. He played with unusual sensitivity and taste, always lightly energized by an easily flowing pulsation. Al was no stomper, but he was far from fragile. This long one-day session was originally produced by Henri Renaud, the French jazz pianist, when he visited New York in the very early part of 1954. Al’s melodic improvisations get firm, unobtrusive support from drummer Lee Abrams, and bassist Bill Crow. This set was especially valuable because, in the early Fifties,Haig had been all-too-infrequently heard on records and, at 31, he proved he still had an important place in the modern jazz field. ~ freshsoundrecords.com |

This cd surpasses many others when it comes to the quality of music presented as well as the quality of the tone of the music. several cd's may state that they have been 'remastered" but this one needs no touching up. the selection of songs is fantastic. if you have ever been to a club to do some swing dancing, these are songs that you will immediately recognize. this cd is appropriate for the seasoned dancer or novice who just loves a great tune by a fantastic orchestra.

 Artist: Scott Hamilton, Ken Peplowski & Spike Robinson Album: Groovin' High Label: Concord Jazz Year: rel. Sep 17, 1991 Format: MP3@ 320 Kb/s Time: 65:14 Size: 149,7 Mb AMG rating:  To my friends in JBC! Please enjoy.
Fans of jam sessions and tenor battles will definitely want this CD. Tenors Scott Hamilton, Ken Peplowski and Spike Robinson (constantly pushed by the brilliant rhythm section of pianist Gerry Wiggins, guitarist Howard Alden, bassist Dave Stone and drummer Jake Hanna) take turns raising the temperature on such viable devices as "Blues Up and Down," "Shine," "I'll See You In My Dreams" and "The Jeep Is Jumpin'." Robinson (easily the oldest of the trio of tenors) gets a slight edge and generates the most heat, but the saxophonists actually complement each other quite well. A consistently exciting set. ~ by Scott Yanow, AMG.

As the clarinet slowly but surely creeps back into the favor of jazz fans and musicians alike, Ken Peplowski should be given no small credit for the black stick's revival. Along with Eddie Daniels, Kenny Davern, and, more recently, Allan Vache and Don Byron, Peplowski has been leading the way for the resurgence of the clarinet as it regains its viability as an important instrument in jazz. The center piece of this album is James Chirillo's "Homage Concerto for Clarinet and Jazz Orchestra." Really a suite rather than a concerto, this 17-plus minute excursion takes on a pseudo classical approach to jazz, showing off Peplowski's virtuosity on the instrument. But even virtuosity can't redeem this composition that suffers the same fate as other so-called jazz clarinet concertos, like Artie Shaw's "Concerto for Clarinet" and Igor Stravinsky's "Ebony Concerto" written for Woody Herman. Their attempt to meld jazz and classical forms once more reveals this marriage rarely works because the two musical genres are built upon entirely different and conflicting musical objectives. The foundation for jazz is improvisation, while classical rarely strays from the written note. Despite Peplowski's masterful playing and Loren Schoenberg's solid backing with his all-star band, the piece crashes on the rocks of pretentiousness. Another original, Ben Aronov's "Deep," is far more interesting featuring Peplowski's tenor, not his clarinet, that is featured on this piece. The highlight of the album, however, is "Royal Garden Blues" with Schoenberg's group roaring behind Peplowki's hot clarinet, jam session style. This piece also gives some members of the band a chance to shine with each of the trombonists -- especially the ageless Eddie Bert -- getting some solo space along with the trumpet of John Eckert. Duke Ellington's 1962 "Purple Gazelle" offers imaginative exchanges between Peploswki's clarinet, Schoenberg's tenor, Chuck Redd's drums, and Aronov's piano. But overall this album falls short of what we have come to expect from a Ken Peplowski session. ~ by Dave Nathan, AMG.

 Artist: Jeff Healey Album: Songs From The Road Label: Ruf Year: Aug 5, 2006-Nov 15, 2007; release: 2009 Genre: Blues-Rock Format mp3, bitrate: 320 kb/s Time: 56:58 Size: 135 Mb (cover) Appearing almost 18 months after his death, Songs from the Road is the first posthumous disc from Jeff Healey. Collecting highlights from his 2006 performance at Norway's Nottoden Blues Festival, plus 2007 gigs in London and Toronto (the latter at his hometown club, the Jeff Healey Roadhouse), Songs from the Road paints a good portrait of Healey the road warrior, playing old favorites, both of his own and a wide variety of classic rock and blues artists, including Muddy Waters and two from the Beatles. Healey doesn't surprise here, either in repertoire or attack, but he does satisfy, both as a guitarist and an all-around entertainer, making this collection a nice coda to his career. - Stephen Thomas Erlewine at All Music Guide |

1966: Coleman Hawkins - Supreme |

 Artist: Coleman Hawkins Album: Supreme Label: Enja Year: Sep 26, 1966 Release: 2008 Format, bitrate: mp3, 320kb/s Time: 64:53 Size: 135 MB Repost The great tenor Coleman Hawkins started to go downhill in late 1965 (eating too little, drinking too much) and his career became progressively sadder until his death on May 19, 1969. This Enja CD (which is comprised of brand new material taken from a Baltimore club date) has five lengthy performances and strong work from the rhythm section (pianist Barry Harris, bassist Gene Taylor and drummer Roy Brooks) but Hawkins's solos are consistently aimless and occasionally lost. His lines are shorter than in previous years and he seems to be gasping for air to an extent. The ironic part is that the audience is overly enthusiastic, loving every note no matter how desperate Hawkins sounds. Only on the brief closing "Ow" (where the tenor trades off very advanced phrases with Harris) does Coleman Hawkins sound up-to-par. Skip this set and acquire some of his many valuable earlier recordings instead. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |

 Artist: Earl Hines Album: Earl Hines Plays Duke Ellington (2 CD Set) Label: New World Records Year: 1971-1975 Released: 1988 Format, bitrate: Mp3, 320 kbps & FLAC Size: 266.2MB & 485.7MB Time: 120:10 AMG Rating: During a four-year period, pianist Earl Hines recorded enough of Duke Ellington's compositions to fill up four LPs. This double CD contains 20 of his better performances including both Ellington's better-known standards and a few obscurities (most notably lengthy versions of "The Shepherd" and "Black Butterfly"). The music is satisfying, although one wishes that New World had reissued all of the music from this extensive project on three CDs. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |

 Artist: Earl Hines Album: Earl Hines Plays George Gershwin Label: Musidisc Year: Oct 16, 1973 Release: 1995 Format, bitrate: mp3, 320kb/s Time: 69:39 Size: 147MB AMG Rating for zuziki and my friends!
äëÿ zuziki è ìîèõ äðóçåé! This excellent two-LP set features the great pianist Earl Hines interpreting ten of George Gershwin's compositions. Highlights of this solo piano session include extensive explorations of "Embraceable You" and "They Can't Take That Away from Me" (both are over ten minutes) and more concise readings of "They All Laughed" and "Love Walked In." Hines recorded so many rewarding records throughout his productive career that what would be considered "best" for some is merely "good" for him. This set is worth picking up, if it can still be found. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |
