1997: The Mood Mosaic - Volume 2 |
Crossover Jazz, Smooth & Lounge |
 |
|
 Artist: VA Album: The Mood Mosaic - Volume 2 - Barnie's Groove Label: Stone Year: 1997 Format: MP3, 320 kb/s File : 140 MB Volume 2 of the incredible Mood Mosiac series sees a slight change in direction and what we get is an extremely cool collection of tracks all with a kinda 70's cop show vibe. In fact, a few of the tracks are from cop movie and tv show soundtracks. Track 1 sampled by the Beastie Boys (33% God from the Love American Style EP), track 6 sounds like it was used by EPMD on one of their early LPs and track 13 from Jimmy Smith was sampled again by the Beastie Boys on the track Root Down (Ill Communication). Stomp. 2006.Second volume in the great Mood Mosaic series, and even funkier than the first one! The focus here is on funky stuff with a soundtracky feel, and the list includes some remakes -- like Henry Mancini's "Streets of San Francisco" and Bobby Forrester's "Sanford & Son" -- plus some groovy originals like Quincy Jones' "Call Me Mr. Tibbs". Also features Jimmy Smith's hard to find "Root Down", plus "Super Strut" by Port Authority, "Desert is a Circle" by Jodorowsky, and "Mission Impossible" by the 45 Sound Orchestra. Great stuff! © 1996-2010, Dusty Groove America, Inc. |

1959: Count Basie - Basie/Eckstine Incorporated |
Swing, Mainstream, Vocal Jazz |
|
|
 Artists: Count Basie & Billy Eckstine Album: Basie/Eckstine Incorporated Label: Label: Roulette Records Year: 1959, release: 1994 Quality: MP3@320 kbps Size: 80,9 mb Total time: 38:16 AMG Rating  Ïðåâîñõîäíàÿ ìóçûêà äëÿ ñóááîòíåãî âå÷åðà! When the Count Basie Orchestra consented to team up with vocalist Billy Eckstine, choruses of angels must have shouted hallelujah. The combination of Basie's sweet jazz and Eckstine's low-down blues sensibilities meshed well on this one-shot deal, a program mostly of downtrodden songs perfectly suited for the band and the man. Recorded in 1959 as Eckstine's popularity was fading (thankfully, his voice was not, as he sounds great on this set of 11 well-known classic jazz/blues vehicles). For the simple reason that Eckstine convincingly sings all-time winners like the upbeat yet downer tune "Lonesome Lover Blues," the slow "Jelly Jelly" in a mood both the band and vocalist favor, or the wishful thinking of "I Want a Little Girl," you know all too well the co-leaders have ruefully lived through these situations. "Drifting" and "Song of the Wanderer" are somewhat less credible, but Eckstine's stout voice overcomes all sorrow, strife, and sympathy one can't help but deeply feel. "Trav'lin' All Alone," more than any other track, best expresses how the weariness and grind of being on the road can take its toll on even the sturdiest jazz artist, aspects the public does not see behind the scenes, but are exposed full-bore on-stage. Where most everything on the program is languid and sanguine, the exception is an upbeat take of "Little Mama" in blues shuffle-style, while the comfort blues "Don't Cry Baby" has the horns more loud and pronounced, with Eckstine's voice in a similarly projected vibrato. It would be difficult to fault this masterpiece of an album, refined and classy in every detail, showing the Basie band and the immortal icon Eckstine at their absolute best during the very tail-end of an era when big-band swing was royal, and the vocalist was its king. ~ Michael G.

2002: Eddie Higgins Trio - Don't Smoke In Bed |

 Artist: Eddie Higgins Trio Album: Don't Smoke In Bed Label: Venus Year: Feb 18-19, 2000; release: 2002 Format mp3, bitrate: 320 kb/s Time: 1:00:24 Size: 138 Mb AMG Rating:  Eddie Higgins has long been a part of the American jazz scene, though he has tended to be overlooked by critics and to a certain extent, record labels in his homeland. But the cagey veteran knows his way around the piano and makes swinging seem effortless, as on these 2000 sessions. Fortunately, the Japanese Venus label has found a steady market for Higgins' CDs in Japan, where he has had many opportunities to record as a leader. This disc is a trio affair with guitarist John Pizzarelli and bassist Jay Leonhart, both accomplished musicians as well. Beginning with a strutting take of "Close Your Eyes," which brings a fresh sound to this old chestnut, it is clear right away that the chemistry among the players is just right. Duke Ellington's lush ballad "I Didn't Know About You" seemed like it was destined to be overlooked, but Higgins is one of many who have offered shimmering treatments of this lyrical gem. The pianist contributed one original, "Brown-Eyed Beauty," which has a George Shearing-like flavor; one can almost imagine Shearing's quintet playing this lovely piece back in the 1960s. The CD is full of standards and forgotten gems that are equally appealing. - Ken Dryden at All Music Guide |

1973: The Modern Jazz Quartet - In Memoriam |
Music » Jazz » BeBop |
|
|
 Artist: The Modern Jazz Quartet Album: In Memoriam Label: Little David Genre: Jazz/Classical Format mp3, bitrate: 320 kb/s (vinyl rip) Time: 32:47 Size: 75,2 Mb The Modern Jazz Quartet's last studio album before their breakup (which fortunately ended up just being a hiatus) in some ways shows why the group fell apart. All of the music on this LP (two works by John Lewis and a remake of "Adagio from the Guitar Concerto: Concierto De Aranjuez") is classically oriented. One can imagine that vibraphonist Milt Jackson (who usually preferred playing bebop) was getting a bit bored. The MJQ is accompanied by an orchestra conducted by Maurice Peress and despite some stimulating moments, the music is often quite dry. - Scott Yanow at All Music Guide |

1968/1969: Jimmy Smith and His Trio |

 Artist: Jimmy Smith Album: Jimmy Smith and His Trio Release: 1968 / 1969 Label: LaserLight Quality: mp3/320 kbps Time: CD1 55:21 / CD2 71:08 Size: 289 MB (126 MB + 162 MB) Jimmy Smith has been a very dominant influence on jazz organists since his arrival on the scene in 1956. This previously unreleased concert appearance by his trio (released on a double-CD in 1996) is a fairly typical Jimmy Smith program from the mid-'60s. He hot dogs it a bit, sometimes holds on to a note for an eternity and continually shows off his technique but Smith also swings up a storm and demonstrates why over three decades later he is still the king of organists. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |

1976: Jimmy Rowles Trio - Grandpaws |
Music » Jazz » Mainstream |
|
|
 Artist: Jimmy Rowles Trio Album: Grandpaws Label: Choice Year: 1976 Quality: MP3@320 kbps Size: 100 mb (sharebee) Total time: 46:24 Jimmy Rowles' piano style was always somewhat unique. He pared down the music of his idol Art Tatum to its essential basics, always hinted at more than he actually played, and had a vast knowledge of chords. Rowles' subtle approach is heard in prime form on this album. Joined by bassist Buster Williams and drummer Billy Hart, Rowles performs two originals (including "My Mother's Love," and which was given lyrics by Johnny Mercer), two ballads, and an obscurity, plus a pair of medleys: one of "Blood Count" and "Isn't It Romantic," and the other a fascinating 13-minute exploration that includes "Lush Life," "Take the 'A' Train," "I Love You," "I Hadn't Anyone 'Til You," "Margie," "Chicago" and "Desert Song." Somehow, Rowles makes the latter performance seem logical. Well worth searching for. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |

1993: Ahmad Jamal - Live In Paris '92 |

|
 Artist: Ahmad Jamal Album: Live In Paris '92 Label: Verve Year: Apr 3-4, 1992 ; release: 1993 Genre: Piano Jazz Format mp3, bitrate: 320 kb/s Time: 56:12 Size: 139 Mb (covers) AMG Rating:  Ahmad Jamal's style has become more extroverted and virtuosic since his early days in the 1950s, and his performances with his trio are often more dramatic. However the pianist is still a master at using space and dynamics, interacting closely with his sidemen, and creating music that builds slowly in intensity. His Paris concert from 1992 is an excellent example of his more recent work. Jamal, who takes "Easy Living" and a relatively brief "Look for the Silver Lining" as unaccompanied solo features and plays quite melodically on Erroll Garner's "Dreamy" (the only piece on which he utilizes bassist Todd Coolman and drummer Gordon Lane), otherwise leads one of his finest trios. Bassist James Cammach (an underrated master) and drummer David Bowler listen to Jamal very closely and, even on a complicated medley of "Alone Together," "Laura" and "Wild Is the Wind," they do not miss a cue. Recommended. - Scott Yanow at All Music Guide |

 Artist: Bill Mays Album: Live at Maybeck Recital Hall, Vol. 26 (Bill Mays at Maybeck) Label: Concord Records Year: 1992, release: 1995 Quality: FLAC & Np3, 320 kbps. Scans. Size: 230+101 mb AMG Rating Bill Mays gets a rare opportunity to record a full CD unaccompanied on his entry in the renowned Maybeck Recital Hall series. He mixes together swing standards with a few more selections. Mays' brilliant rendition of "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square" (which starts and ends with a very impressionistic fantasy, making one wonder if its swinging middle section was indeed a dream) is most memorable. Also fun are his renditions of "Stompin' at the Savoy," "I'm Confessin'," and a boogie-woogie-filled "Jitterbug Waltz." ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |

 Artists: Art Blakey & James Moody Album: Art Blakey's Messengers / James Moody & his Modernists: New Sounds 2LP/1CD Label:Blue Note Year: 1948 Format, bitrate: Mp3, 320kb/s Size: 89 MB This historically significant CD collects together two sessions led by tenor saxophonist James Moody in 1948 (when he was a member of Dizzy Gillespie's big band) along with drummer Art Blakey's first recording date as a leader. Moody's music features boppish arrangements by Gil Fuller and solos by trumpeter Dave Burns, altoist Ernie Henry and baritonist Cecil Payne while the Blakey set (originally released under the title of Art Blakey's Messengers) features an octet that includes trumpeter Kenny Dorham, altoist Sahib Shihab and pianist Walter Bishop. Classic and formerly rare music. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |

1996: Bela Fleck & The Flecktones - Live Art |
Music |

|
 Artist: Bela Fleck & The Flecktones Album: Live Art 2cd Label: Warner Bros. Year: 1991 - 1995 ; release: 1996 Genre: Jazz/Bluegrass Format mp3bitrate: 320 kb/s Time: 2:02:16 Size: 281 Mb (covers) Live Art is a double-disc, 20-track anthology of live performances by Béla Fleck & the Flecktones, spanning four years in the mid-'90s. The song selections cover the group's entire career, ranging from new arrangements of several of classics to covers and seven previously unrecorded originals. There are a couple of vocals on the record, but the core of the album is Fleck & the Flecktones' dynamite instrumental improvisations, where they can demonstrate the true range of their eclecticism and talent. Of special note are the songs that feature jams with Branford Marsalis, Chick Corea, and Bruce Hornsby, who help spur the Flecktones to new heights. - Thom Owens at All Music Guide |
