Artist: Claudio Roditi Album: Milestones Label: Candid Production Ltd. Year: 1992, release: 2007 Format, bitrate: Mp3 320kb/s Time: 70:00 min. Size:156Mb AMG Rating
There aren't many trumpeters around more animated and energetic than Claudio Roditi. His searing solos and equally fiery accompaniment have been featured in several bands, and he takes center stage on Milestones. Besides his solos, the disc has some first-rate songs and an even better group. Alto saxophonist Paquito D'Rivera, pianist Kenny Barron, bassist Ray Drummond, and drummer Ben Riley would constitute a great band by themselves, and are no less playing with Roditi.

Pianist Wynton Kelly's next-to-last set as a leader (he would record a slightly later date for Delmark) featured him at a time when his influence was waning and he was overshadowed by more advanced players. However, Kelly's impact would begin to grow again after his death, when the Young Lions movement began in the early '80s; certainly pianist Benny Green was greatly touched by Kelly's conception. This Milestone trio set, reissued on CD, matches Kelly with bassist Ron McClure and drummer Jimmy Cobb on a fine program mostly filled with standards but also including the then-recent Burt Bacharach hit "Walk on By" and Kelly's original "Scufflin'." ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
Also released under the more widely available Fontainebleau title, the Tadd Dameron Memorial Album is one of most original sets from the burgeoning hard bop days of the mid-'50s. Blessed with Dameron's complex yet seamlessly atmospheric charts, the five-track set features some of the pianist's most involved (the title track, "The Scene Is Clean") and swinging pieces ("Delirium," "Flossie Lou"). And helping out along the way, bop standouts like trumpeter Kenny Dorham, alto saxophonist Sahib Shihab, and drummer Shadow Wilson make choice contributions throughout. A must for any jazz collection. ~ Stephen Cook, All Music Guide
Artists: Lem Winchester & The Ramsey LewisTrio Album: Perform A Tribute To Clifford Brown Label: Argo Year: 1958 Format, bitrate: mp3\320 Size: 82.09 MB Total time:35m40s AMG rating
This out-of-print LP, Lem Winchester's first as a leader, matches his vibes with the early Ramsey Lewis trio on a tribute to the late trumpeter Clifford Brown. They perform two of Brownie's best compositions ("Joy Spring" and "Sandu"), four standards (including "Jordu"), the obscure "A Message from Boysie" and Winchester's "Where It Is." The little-known set (a good example of Ramsey Lewis' original piano style) is actually excellent and would be easily recommended to straightahead jazz fans if it could be found. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
Artist: Max Roach, Clifford Brown Album:The Last Concert (2CD) Label: Rare Live Years: 1956,1955, release: 2005 Format: mp3@320 kb/s Size:294M
Since Clifford Brown's unexpected and sudden death following a 1956 car crash, collectors have sought any previously unknown recordings to add to the already sizable legacy left by a trumpet genius who didn't reach his 26th birthday. The Last Concert was broadcast live just eight days prior to his passing, recorded by a listener. Brown, along with co-leader Max Roach on drums, tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins, pianist Richie Powell (who died in the accident with Brown), and bassist George Morrow, were in high spirits as they played in the Continental Restaurant in Norfolk, Virginia. The show starts off with Brown's only known interpretation of "Just One of Those Things," a lengthy workout showcasing Brown, Rollins, and Powell. The trumpeter's moving solo in "You Go to My Head" is also a highlight. A boisterous "I Get a Kick Out of You" (clocking in at 24:59) concludes this final show. Although there are some minor problems with the source material, including sporadic tape drop-outs and incomplete performances (the latter due to the fact that some of them run as long as 25 minutes, which would make it tough to judge when to change a tape reel), the recording quality is surprisingly good, even if it was made by someone in the audience. The remaining tracks on disc two come from a 1955 appearance at the Newport Jazz Festival, and may exist in better shape within the holdings of the Library of Congress, which has lots of live jazz originally broadcast behind the Iron Curtain by Voice of America. Harold Land is the tenor saxophonist on this occasion, with the remaining musicians the same. Brown and Land ignite fireworks with the trumpeter's still powerful "Daahoud." Powell's "Jacqui" demonstrates his potential as a composer. The final track features Brown sitting in with the Dave Brubeck Quartet, Gerry Mulligan, and Chet Baker in a rousing "Tea for Two" that unfortunately fades prior to completion, due to the tape running out. The sound flaws on this set are mainly from the rowdy audience, as the instruments are fairly distinct.

This 1981 album was pianist Hal Galper's first recording as a member of the Phil Woods Quartet (replacing the departed Mike Melillo), the regularly working group that also included the altoist/leader, bassist Steve Gilmore and drummer Bill Goodwin. Woods performs two of his stronger originals ("Petite Chanson" and "Goodbye Mr. Evans") in addition to four standards, which are highlighted by "Star Eyes" and "Nica's Dream." When it comes to modern bebop, few players of the post-1970 era have been in Phil Woods' class, and his solos on this album are consistently fiery and inventive.~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
Artist: Joe Pass Album: Catch Me! Year: 1963 Label: Pacific Jazz Quality: mp3;224kbs Total Time: 00:45:04 Total Size: 72mb AMG Rating:
Nice, mellow, and very groovy! Joe Pass plays here with the piano and organ of Clare Fischer, who's always one of our favorites a player who manages to turn any session into something more than it appears at face value thanks to a strong sense of craft and cleverness! Clare's touch here is a bit gentler than on some of his later sides but it's a very welcome one nonetheless and provides a perfect setting for Joe's lean lines on guitar strung out with a near-perfect tone, and backed by either Albert Stinson or Ralph Pena on bass, and Colin Bailey or Larry Bunker on drums. Titles include "Catch Me", "Walkin Up", "No Cover No Minimum", "Summertime", and "Just Friends".
Artist: Les McCann/ Stanley Turrentine/ Blue Mitchel Album: Les McCann Ltd. In New York Label: Pacific Jazz/Capitol Year: 1960-1961 Release: 1989 Format, bitrate: mp3, 320kb/s Size: 122MB AMG rating:
A thoroughly satisfying live date. The good-time pianist forgets singing on this Village Gate outing, and the band just cooks. Silky saxman Stanley Turrentine and trumpeter Blue Mitchell play as one on some cool McCann originals. It's almost inconceivable that the sextet had only one rehearsal.
Artist:Joe Henderson Album: The Milestone Years (8 CD's box set) Label: Milestone Records (more info see in scan) Year: rec. Aug 10, 1967-Sep 26, 1976 / rel. Sep 1, 1994 Format: MP3 @ 320 Kb/s + scan with info Time: 581:39 Size: about 1,23 Gb AMG rating:
To my friends in JBC! Please enjoy.
Tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson's most famous recordings are his early Blue Notes and his more recent Verves, but in between he recorded exclusively for Milestone and, although Henderson was in consistently fine form in the diverse settings, he was somewhat neglected during his middle years. This massive eight-CD set contains all of the music from Henderson's dozen Milestone LPs, plus a duet with altoist Lee Konitz and his guest appearances with singer Flora Purim and cornetist Nat Adderley. The music ranges from Blue Note-style hard bop and modal explorations to fusion and '70s funk, with important contributions made by trumpeters Mike Lawrence, Woody Shaw, and Luis Gasca, trombonist Grachan Moncur III, and keyboardists Kenny Barron, Don Friedman, Joe Zawinul, Herbie Hancock, George Cables, Alice Coltrane, Mark Levine, and George Duke, among others. Not all of the music is classic (some of the later sets are unabashedly commercial), but none of the 82 selections are dull and the very distinctive Henderson always gives his best. It's highly recommended. ~ by Scott Yanow, AMG.

EVERY DAY IS A RON CARTER DAY !
Sophisticated, elegant quartet date from 1982, with Art Farmer's serene trumpet and flugelhorn playing setting the tone, backed by tenor and soprano saxophonist Bill Evans, who's more restrained than usual. Carter's bass and Tony Williams' drums are both understated and definitive in their support and backing rhythms~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide.
Artist: Curtis Counce Album: Sonority Label: Contemporary Records Year: 1958 Format, bitrate: MP3, 320 kbps Time: 50:27 Size: 120 MB
This CD, which adds "Drum Conversation" (a Frank Butler feature) to the earlier LP, contains material taken from bassist Curtis Counce's Contemporary sessions which resulted in three other albums but these particular performances were not released until 1989. Half of the program features Counce's 1956 quintet (which includes trumpeter Jack Sheldon, tenor saxophonist Harold Land, pianist Carl Perkins and drummer Frank Butler) while the remainding selections are from 1958 when the group had Gerald Wilson on trumpet and pianist Elmo Hope (who contributed three originals). "Sonor" and "Landslide" are heard in alternate versions and "Woody'n You" has also been since reissued as a "bonus" cut on the CD You Get More Bounce with Curtis Counce. The playing is quite rewarding, and all four of the Counce reissues are easily recommended to hard bop collectors.
Artist: Ron Carter Album: New York Slick Label: Original Jazz Classics Year (Recording): 1979, realise: 1966 Format, bitrate: mp3, 320 kbps Time: 35:50 Size: 83 mb (megaupload) AMG Rating:
EVERY DAY IS A RON CARTER DAY !
The title of this 1979 all-star session should be taken with a grain of salt. A combination of six such creative talents could hardly produce slick results, and the participants came together from points far beyond the five boroughs. (J.J. Johnson was in the midst of his Hollywood soundtrack composing, and Art Farmer was then based in Vienna.) Ron Carter, who has rarely been so selfless in the solo space he allots guests, prepared an inspiring environment with his unimpeachable time and his eloquent compositions; and Farmer and Hubert Laws in particular respond with some of their freshest playing of the period. Carter's skill as writer and leader are manifest in the singular flugelhorn/trombone/flute blend of the front line, his exceptional command of the jazz waltz ("A Slight Smile"), and the challenging wrinkles he works into the final two blowing numbers - concordmusicgroup.com
Artist: Miles Davis Album: Miles Davis and Horns 51-53 Label: Prestige/OJC Years: 1951-1953; release:1994 Format, bitrate: MP3 320kbps Time: 34:00 Size: 81,38 MB
The music from two of Miles Davis' lesser-known Prestige sessions is reissued on this CD. There are four titles from a 1953 date that finds the great trumpeter playing arrangements by Al Cohn in a sextet with tenors Cohn and Zoot Sims; trombonist Sonny Truitt joins the group on "Floppy." Those obscure performances (which include "Tasty Pudding" and "For Adults Only") are joined by four songs plus an alternate take from a 1951 date featuring Miles with tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins (their first recordings together) and trombonist Benny Green. Davis is a bit supbar on such tunes as "Whispering" and "Blue Room," but his emotional playing is still worth hearing. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
In lieu of picking up one of the trumpeter's fine Blue Note releases (Una Mas, Whistle Stop), listeners new to the work of Kenny Dorham should definitely consider this somewhat overlooked Riverside date from 1959. The set features plenty of Dorham's varied and sophisticated horn work and four of his top-drawer originals. The theme is spring, and Dorham responds with his soon to be jazz standard "Spring Is Here" and three other fine seasonal tributes: the title track, "Poetic Spring," and "Spring Cannon." This last cut is also a tribute to Julian "Cannonball" Adderley, who guests in fine style here with a bevy of fleet and highly melodic solos. Rounding out the group, baritone saxophonist Cecil Payne, French horn player David Amram, and pianist Cedar Walton add very nicely to the album's breezy yet provocative air. Essential listening for Dorham fans.
Artist: Gene Ammons Album: The Happy Blues Label: OJC/ Prestige Year:1956, release: 1991 Format, bitrate: Lossless (APE+CUE) with scans Size: 204MB AMG Rating:
This is one of the great studio jam sessions. Tenor saxophonist Gene Ammons is teamed up with trumpeter Art Farmer, altoist Jackie McLean, pianist Duke Jordan, bassist Addison Farmer, drummer Art Taylor, and the congas of Candido for four lengthy selections. Best is "The Happy Blues," which has memorable solos and spontaneous but perfectly fitting riffing by the horns behind each others' solos. The other numbers ("The Great Lie," "Can't We Be Friends," and "Madhouse") are also quite enjoyable, making this a highly recommended set.~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide

Pepper Adams is accompanied by two fellow veterans of the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orchestra (pianist Roland Hanna and bassist George Mraz) as well as drummer Billy Hart on the 1978 Reflectory studio date for Muse. Adams' approach to the baritone sax is sometimes a bit more aggressive and less melodic than Gerry Mulligan, which results in occasional inadvertent reed squeaks in his tricky opener, "Reflectory." Better is the outspoken yet still lovely treatment of Duke Ellington's "Sophisticated Lady." The most surprising track is his rapid-fire arrangement of the ballad "That's All," in which Hanna takes top solo honors. This recommended album is worth acquiring.~ Ken Dryden, All Music Guide
Artist: Larry Young Album: Unity Label:Blue Note Year: 1965, release: 1999 Format, bitrate: MP3 320kbps Time: 39:41 Size: 93 MB AMG Rating:
On Unity, jazz organist Larry Young began to display some of the angular drive that made him a natural for the jazz-rock explosion to come barely four years later. While about as far from the groove jazz of Jimmy Smith as you could get, Young hadn't made the complete leap into freeform jazz-rock either. Here he finds himself in very distinguished company: drummer Elvin Jones, trumpeter Woody Shaw, and saxman Joe Henderson. Young was clearly taken by the explorations of saxophonists Coleman and Coltrane, as well as the tonal expressionism put in place by Sonny Rollins and the hard-edged modal music of Miles Davis and his young quintet. But the sound here is all Young: the rhythmic thrusting pulses shoved up against Henderson and Shaw as the framework for a melody that never actually emerges ("Zoltan" -- one of three Shaw tunes here), the skipping chords he uses to supplant the harmony in "Monk's Dream," and also the reiterating of front-line phrases a half step behind the beat to create an echo effect and leave a tonal trace on the soloists as they emerge into the tunes (Henderson's "If" and Shaw's "The Moontrane"). All of these are Young trademarks, displayed when he was still very young, yet enough of a wiseacre to try to drive a group of musicians as seasoned as this -- and he succeeded each and every time. As a soloist, Young is at his best on Shaw's "Beyond All Limits" and the classic nugget "Softly as in a Morning Sunrise." In his breaks, Young uses the middle register as a place of departure, staggering arpeggios against chords against harmonic inversions that swing plenty and still comes out at all angles. Unity proved that Young's debut, Into Somethin', was no fluke, and that he could play with the lions. And as an album, it holds up even better than some of the work by his sidemen here. ~ Thom Jurek, All Music Guide
Artist: Ron Carter Album: Peg Leg Label: Original Jazz Classics Year: 1977 Release: 1991 Format, bitrate: mp3, 320 kbps (cbr) Time: 38:18 Size: 92 mb (megaupload)
Peg Leg is an album by jazz bassist Ron Carter, originally released on LP in 1978, digitally remastered and released on CD in 1991 by Fantasy Studios. It was recorded in November 1977 and prominently features Carter on piccolobass. Oftentimes carrying the melody the instrument is a focus of 3 of the albums 6 tracks, while fellow bassplayer Buster Williams performs the traditional role of the instrument on those tracks. The rhythm section is completed by piano and percussion (on all but 1 track), and guitar on 4 tracks. The standard jazz ensemble is further augmented, on all 6 tracks, by woodwinds (see below). Carter uses a piccolo bass tuned a fourth higher than a normal double bass (low to high: A-D-G-C) ~ wikipedia
Artist: Ron Carter Album: Uptown Conversation Label: Atlantic Year: 1969 Release: 1989 Format, bitrate: mp3, 320 kbps (cbr) Time: 62:04 Size: 150 mb (megaupload) AMG Rating:
A beautiful album by Ron Carter - and quite rare, too! The record features a group that's got a nice 70s modal soul jazz sound - with players that include Herbie Hancock on acoustic and electric piano, Hubert Laws on flute, Sam Brown on guitar, and both Billy Cobham and Grady Tate on drums - all working in sweet small group mode alongside Carter's excellent work on acoustic and Fender bass. The sound is sometimes spacey, sometimes groovy - and marks a key chapter in Carter's career, one that has him stepping out of the background into a great role as a leader -- setting the stage for many more albums to come in the 70s! Titles include the very funky "Uptown Conversation", plus the tracks "Half A Row", "Doom", and "Einbahnstrasse". Very soulful, with a stone mellow moody groove!
