Пианист, композитор, один из создателей фортепианного стиля "страйд" Джеймс Пи Джонсон (James P. Johnson).
Читать заметку о музыканте на русском, на английском.

This European import consists of the first 24 recordings led by the great stride pianist James P. Johnson, plus the piano roll version of his hit "The Charleston." Many of these performances have been formerly issued in haphazard or incomplete fashion, but this exciting CD has all of Johnson's dates up until his 1930 solos. There are three early band sides from 1921 (including Johnson's "Carolina Shout"), 13 piano solos ("Snowy Morning Blues," "Riffs," and "Feeling Blue" are particularly memorable), and hot combos that feature such sidemen as cornetist/trumpeters Louis Metcalfe, Cootie Williams, and King Oliver and (on two songs) fellow pianist Fats Waller. The somewhat obscure CD is the perfect way to accumulate these historic performances. ~ Scott Yanow All Music Guide

Review by arwulf arwulf
When Valaida Snow sat in with Earl Hines & His Orchestra on February 3, 1933, she sounded at first like an auditioning youngster. That is, until the tempo picked up halfway into the song, and Snow began to chortle and swing. If "Maybe I'm to Blame" was a bit of an experiment, the three recordings Snow made in London in January of 1935 are solid evidence of an artist who has found her own style and grown into it. Suddenly, it seems, this woman has established herself in England as a singer and trumpeter with considerable potential...Read More

     Джазовое трио Poll Winners в составе гитариста Барни Кессела (Barney Kessel), басиста Рей Брауна (Ray Brown) и барабанщика Шелли Манна (Shelly Manne) с альбомом «Poll Winners: Exploring the Scene».

     For one of their better outings, the Poll Winners (guitarist Barney Kessel, bassist Ray Brown, and drummer Shelly Manne) perform nine fairly recent jazz standards. It is ironic that this is their only release not yet reissued on CD, since it may very well be their strongest program. The trio performs creative versions of such songs as "Little Susie," "So What," "Doodlin'," "This Here," and Ornette Coleman's "The Blessing." Worth searching for. ~Scott Yanow, All Music Guide

This CD reissue brings back one of tenor saxophonist Budd Johnson's best showcases. Featured in a quintet with his brother Keg Johnson on trombone, pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist George Duvivier, and drummer Charlie Persip, Budd starts off with a ballad feature ("Serenade in Blue") and performs three originals (including "Downtown Manhattan" and "Uptown Manhattan") as well as three other veteran standards. Throughout, Johnson sounds both modern, as if he had come of age as one of the "cool school," and timeless, since he was a major player by the mid-'30s. A fine set. ~ Scott Yanow , All Music Guide

Классики фортепьянного блюза и буги-вуги: пианисты Алберт Аммонс (Albert Ammons) , Мид Лакс Льюис (Meade Lux Lewis), Пит Джонсон (Pete Johnson) и Джимми Йэнси (Jimmy Yancey), а также певец Биг Джо Тёрнер (Big Joe Turner), трубач Харри Джеймс (Harry James) c «The Boogie Woogie Trio» и еще ряд интересных музыкантов на сборнике «Mosaic Select: Boogie Woogie & Blues Piano»

When it comes to boogie woogie, Meade Lux Lewis, Albert Ammons, Pete Johnson and Jimmy Yancey are the innovative pantheon and some of their finest performances are represented here. Later interpreters like Freddie Slack, Kenny Kersey, Teddy Wilson, and Mary Lou Williams are also included.
In addition to blues masters Jimmy Yancey and Cripple Clarence Lofton (with guitarist Big Bill Broonzy), the great blues shouter Joe Turner accompanied by Ammons, Lewis and Johnson as well as two almost forgotten OKeh sessions: Joe Sullivan's Cafe Society Orchestra and the Benny Carter All-Star Orchestra date are included.
These classic boogie woogie and blues piano sides recorded for Victor and Columbia during the years 1935 and 1941 are finally under one roof. Although many were initially released as singles and many were housed together in early album form, much of this material has never been issued on CD.

Wonderful!» по сей день считается классикой такого рода фьюжн. В конце 60-х этот исполнитель, к тому времени уже достигший статуса абсолютной популярности, успешно аранжировал композиции Джона Леннона-Пола Маккартни. Качество его сильного баритона с годами не ухудшилось, и сегодня Джонни Матис по-прежнему считается выдающимся музыкантом, чья карьера уступает разве что только Фрэнку Синатре.

Review
In the world of song, there are clearly stylists and then there are true jazz vocalists. To the latter category, Anita O’Day has to be counted as one of the few who have built a recorded legacy as important as that of any jazz instrumentalist. A discriminating artist with a solid musical background, word has it that there's no easier way to put off O'Day than to hand her a lead sheet with just the printed lyrics, as she wants to see the entire score in relation to how her part fits within the arrangement. This attention to detail pervades every note put on tape over the course of the 198 performances (spanning the years 1952 to1962) preserved on this 9-CD boxed set.Read More

Label:OJC/Jazzland

Size:190+61,6Mb

Представляю вам джазового вибрафониста Джонни Литла (Johnny Lytle) с альбомом «Nice and Easy: The Soulful Vibes of Johnny Lytle». Запись 1962 года (ремастеринг 1999,Fantasy Studios). Помимо Джонни Литла (Johnny Lytle) в записи участвовали пианист Бобби Тиммонс (Bobby Timmons), саксофонист Джонни Гриффин (Johnny Griffin), басист Сэм Джонс (Sam Jones) и барабанщик Луис Хайес (Louis Hayes).

О Джонни Литл (Johnny Lytle) на английском - From Wikipedia

An aptly named but stylistically unusual set from soul-jazz vibraphonist Johnny Lytle, 1962's Nice and Easy is a mellow and heavily bop-influenced set fairly far removed from his usual blues-tinged funk. In a quintet setting featuring a rhythm section borrowed from Cannonball Adderley, Lytle trades in his usual organ counterpoint for Bobby Timmons' piano, Sam Jones' typically understated bass work, and Louis Hayes' brushed drums, creating a sound not that far removed from Milt Jackson's sessions as a leader. The secret weapon of the session is tenor saxophonist Johnny Griffin, who takes the majority of the solos (including a surprisingly dissonant and almost free break in the middle of an otherwise restrained take on the standard "But Not for Me"), allowing Lytle to play, well, nice and easy. The results are a welcome change of pace from Lytle's often frenetic and occasionally too-busy style, and the ballad-heavy selection is a nice balance of new tunes and a few familiar standards. Overall, this could well be Johnny Lytle's best set. ~ Stewart Mason, All Music Guide

     Саксофонист Стэнли Тёррентайн (Stanley Turrentine), гитарист Грэнт Грин (Grant Green), пианист Томми Фланаган (Tommy Flanagan), басист Пол Чеймберс (Paul Chambers) и барабанщик Арт Тэйлор (Art Taylor). Вот в таком составе и был записан данный альбом, который я советую вам прослушать.

     An all-star lineup has Turrentine with Grant Green on guitar and Tommy Flanagan on piano. The rhythm section has Paul Chambers on bass and Art Taylor on drums. Green and Turrentine made few albums together, but the combination is a natural — the two greatest groove masters, bar none. Flanagan seldom appears in this type of setting and his playing is very tasteful. A studio recording by Rudy Van Gelder at Englewood Cliffs, NJ. If you can find a copy of this, it is a keeper. ~ All Music Guide

Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen - Jaywalkin'
Artist: Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen
Album: Jaywalkin'
Release Date:1975
Label:SteepleChase
Genre:Jazz
Format:Flac
Size:190+93,9Mb

Датский контрабасист, игравший со многими великолепными джазовыми музыкантами, Нильс-Хеннинг Эрстед Педерсен (Niels-Henning Orsted-Pedersen) с альбомом «Jaywalkin'» , в котором он уже выступает как лидер квартета и как автор большинства композиций.

A virtuoso bassist who graced hundreds of recordings during his career (which began in his teens), Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen's debut as a leader is a bit of a mixed bag. His band includes guitarist Philip Catherine (who alternates between electric and acoustic instruments), drummer Billy Higgins, and pianist Ole Kock Hansen, the latter unfortunately playing an electric keyboard, which causes many of the songs in which he takes part to sound dated. Playing in settings ranging from solo to quartet and including six originals, the best tracks are the acoustic arrangements. Pedersen's unaccompanied solo interpretation of the standard "That's All" is majestic, while a trio settings of Antonio Carlos Jobim's "A Felicidade" and a breezy original bossa nova ("My Little Anna") with the full band are also enjoyable. But the electric piano sucks the life out of an otherwise excellent take of Charlie Parker's "Cheryl" (which Catherine sits out), while the funky originals "Jaywalkin'" and "Interlude" also don't make much of an impression. Fortunately, Pedersen rarely utilized electric piano on future sessions as a leader. Review by Ken Dryden, All Music Guide

Review by Thom Jurek, AMG:
Perhaps I am an apologist for Rahsaan Roland Kirk, I don't know. If I am then I should be smacked, because he needed no one to make apologies for him. The Case of the 3-Sided Dream in Audio Color is a case in point. The namby-pamby jazz critics, those "serious" guys who look for every note to be in order before they'll say anything positive, can shove it on this one. They panned the hell out of it in 1975, claiming it was "indulgent." Okay. Which Kirk record wasn't? Excess was always the name of the game for Kirk, but so was the groove, and here on this three-sided double LP, groove is at the heart of everything. Surrounding himself with players like Cornell Dupree, Hugh McCracken, Richard Tee, Hilton Ruiz (whose playing on "Echoes of Primitive Ohio and Chili Dogs" is so greasy, so deliciously dirty it's enthralling), Steve Gadd, and others from that soul-jazz scene, it's obvious what you're gonna get, right? Nope. From his imitations of Miles Davis and John Coltrane on "Bye, Bye, Blackbird" to his screaming, funky read on "High Heel Sneakers" to his Delta-to-New-Orleans version of "The Entertainer," Kirk is deep in the groove. But the groove he moves through is one that is so large, so universal, deep, and serene, that it transcends all notions of commercialism versus innovation. Bottom line, even with the charming tape-recorded ramblings of his between tunes, this was his concept and it works like a voodoo charm. Here's one for the revisionists: This record jams.

Review
MCA's short-lived Decca CD-reissue program put out this gem, all of Tatum's piano solos from 1940, including two versions of the previously unknown "Sweet Emalina, My Gal." Some of the routines on these standards were a bit familiar by now (this "Tiger Rag" pales next to his 1933 version) but are no less exciting and still sound seemingly impossible to play. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide

Review

Tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley has been called underrated so many times that the word may as well have been his middle name, and when combined with the numerous financial, personal, and health issues the saxophonist endured during his career, it all added up to a middle of the pack position in the jazz canon. He truly deserves a reevaluation. This delightfully warm set was cut on March 8, 1957 with Mobley on tenor sax, Art Farmer on trumpet, Horace Silver on piano, Doug Watkins on bass, and the energetic and busy Art Blakey on drums, which makes for a pretty nice session band when all is said and done. All eight selections (two are bonus tracks, alternate versions of "Funk in Deep Freeze" and "Wham and They're Off") are original Mobley compositions and show off his — you guessed it — underrated writing and arranging ability....by~ Steve Leggett, All Music Guide...

     Вот отзыв одной посетительницы, в свое время прослушавшей данный альбом: "Мягкий теплый звук одного из великих саксофонистов эры свинга!!!
     Именно про время записи этих дисков - Байес настолько активно выступал на 52 улице - что при бешеной конкуренции - "Дон Байес , например, имел ангажемент в одном месте как лидер, а затем переходил дорогу и оказывался членом группы Коулмена Хокинса совсем в другом месте."
