Chick Corea – Return To Forever (1972) [2917, Japan, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Chick Corea - Return To Forever (1972) [2917, Japan, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

The legendary first lineup of Chick Corea’s fusion band Return to Forever debuted on this classic album (titled after the group but credited to Corea), featuring Joe Farrell on soprano sax and flute, the Brazilian team of vocalist Flora Purim and drummer/percussionist Airto Moreira, and electric bass whiz Stanley Clarke.

Chick Corea – Rendezvous In New York (2003) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Chick Corea - Rendezvous In New York (2003) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

One of Chick Corea’s most ambitious projects was the recording of almost 60 hours of music with nine different groups over a three-week run at the Blue Note in December 2001; it must have been a challenge to choose the dozen performances for this two-CD set.

Various Artists – Super Hits Of The ’70s. Have A Nice Day, Vol. 01-25 [25 CDs]

Various Artists - Super Hits Of The '70s. Have A Nice Day, Vol. 01-25 [25 CDs]

Super Hits of the ’70s: Have a Nice Day is a series of music compilations containing chiefly one-hit wonders and lesser-known pop and rock music songs from the 1970s. The first fifteen volumes were released on cassette and (with bonus tracks) on CD, in 1990 by Rhino Records, covering the years 1969–1976. Compiled by Gary Stewart, David McLees, and Bill Inglot, each CD comes with an eight-page booklet which includes five pages of liner notes by Paul Grein.

Stan Getz & Bill Evans – Stan Getz & Bill Evans (1973) [2011, Japan, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Stan Getz & Bill Evans - Stan Getz & Bill Evans (1973) [2011, Japan, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

The only studio meeting between Stan Getz and Bill Evans took place over two days in 1964, with the aggressive drummer Elvin Jones and either Richard Davis or Ron Carter on bass. It is peculiar that Verve shelved the results for over a decade before issuing any of the music, though it may have been felt that Getz and Evans hadn’t had enough time to achieve the desired chemistry, though there are memorable moments.

Cannonball Adderley With Bill Evans – Know What I Mean? (1961) [2002, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Cannonball Adderley With Bill Evans - Know What I Mean? (1961) [2002, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

What’s better than a Bill Evans Trio album? How about a Bill Evans trio album on which the bassist is Percy Heath, the drummer is Connie Kay, and the leader is not Evans but alto sax god Cannonball Adderley, making the group actually a quartet? It’s a different sort of ensemble, to be sure, and the musical results are marvelous. Continue reading “Cannonball Adderley With Bill Evans – Know What I Mean?

A reviewer of Dusty Groove wrote “Sweet Motown grooving from Grover Washington – a set that has him working with slightly larger backings than his Kudu years, but in a way that still lets his soulful horn stand strongly out front! As always, Washington is a killer talent on the soprano sax – able to inflect the instrument with these soulful twists and turns that he virtually invented at the time, and which so many others have tried to copy over the years.

The second of Willie Nelson’s Frank Sinatra tributes — records that belong on the same continuum as Stardust yet are their own distinct thing — That’s Life is a jauntier affair than My Way. Where that 2018 record never quite wallowed in melancholy, it seems like a saloon album compared to That’s Life, an LP that tends to lean into the swinging side of Sinatra so much, it can almost seem like a tip of the hat to the Chairman of the Board’s stature as king of Las Vegas.
