Weather Report – Black Market (1973) [2001, Japan, Reissue, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Weather Report - Black Market (1973) [2001, Japan, Reissue, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

The shifts in Weather Report’s personnel come fast and furious now, with Narada Michael Walden and Chester Thompson as the drummers, Alex Acuna and Don Alias at the percussion table, and Alphonso Johnson giving way to the mighty, martyred Jaco Pastorius.

The Weavers – Reunion At Carnegie Hall 1963 (1963) [2013, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

The Weavers - Reunion At Carnegie Hall 1963 (1963) [2013, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

The Weavers celebrated their 15th anniversary by performing two concerts — May 2 and 3, 1963 — at Carnegie Hall, the site of their historic 1955 comeback concert, and invited back former members Pete Seeger and Erik Darling, as well as introducing new member Bernie Krause. The shows served to reaffirm the status of a group that had fostered the folk boom of the late ’50s and early ’60s, yet had been bypassed by it as others scored with their songs Continue reading “The Weavers – Reunion At Carnegie Hall 1963 (1963) [2013, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]”

Stan Getz & João Gilberto – Getz / Gilberto (1964) [2011, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Stan Getz & João Gilberto - Getz / Gilberto (1964) [2011, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

One of the biggest-selling jazz albums of all time, not to mention bossa nova’s finest moment, Getz/Gilberto trumped Jazz Samba by bringing two of bossa nova’s greatest innovators — guitarist/singer João Gilberto and composer/pianist Antonio Carlos Jobim — to New York to record with Stan Getz. The results were magic. Continue reading “Stan Getz & João Gilberto – Getz / Gilberto (1964) [2011, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]”

VA – Music From The Miramax Motion Picture Chicago (2002) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

VA - Music From The Miramax Motion Picture Chicago (2002) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Maurine Watkins’ satirical play Chicago has gone through several permutations since it opened at the Music Box Theatre on Broadway on December 30, 1926. There was a silent movie version in 1927, followed by a sound film called Roxie Hart starring Ginger Rogers in 1942. In 1975, director/choreographer Bob Fosse and the songwriting team of John Kander and Fred Ebb brought a darker vision to the story of a murderess who achieves acquittal due to publicity and slick lawyering, and their musical ran 898 performances back on Broadway.

Louis Armstrong and Fats Waller only worked together twice, briefly in 1925 in Erskine Tate’s band and four years later in the New York revue Connie’s Hot Chocolates. But Waller made an indelible enough impression for Satchmo to record the tribute album Satch Plays Fats: The Music of Fats Waller in 1955, when such ideas were new.

This recording was not only Louis Armstrong’s finest record of the 1950s but one of the truly classic jazz sets. Armstrong and his All-Stars (trombonist Trummy Young, clarinetist Barney Bigard, pianist Billy Kyle, bassist Arvell Shaw, drummer Barrett Deems, and singer Velma Middleton) were clearly inspired by the fresh repertoire, 11 songs written by W.C. Handy. Continue reading “Louis Armstrong – Plays W. C. Handy (1954) {1999, Reissue, Hi-Res SACD Rip}”

J. S. Bach / Anner Bylsma – Suites For Violoncello Solo, BWV 1007-1012 (1992) [2019, Japanese Reissue, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Anner Bylsma, who plays a Baroque cello in original condition, has written a whole book about the variety of bow strokes needed for this music. Fancying the use of the bow as an analogue to the use of a foil in a duel, he calls Bach a “fencing master,” a term that implies intense training, physical coordination used with spontaneity, and a readiness to change the approach instantly as each successive, fast-moving challenge demands. His playing makes the music fresh and new with a flexibility and vitality that illustrates the thesis of his book. Continue reading “J. S.

The recording offers an inventive and, yes, joyful approach; bringing life to music which has been taken for granted for decades.

Hespèrion XXI / Jordi Savall - Orient-Occident (1200-1700) (2006) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

AliaVox’s Orient-Occident 1200-1700 is unique in Jordi Savall’s recorded output in that, despite the title, it has no correspondence whatsoever with any specific historical or musicological program. Rather, like the “East meets West” albums pairing violinist Yehudi Menhuin with sitar player Ravi Shankar, Orient-Occident 1200-1700 brings Savall and ace Hespèrion XXI percussionist Pedro Estevan into the orbit of Greek santur player Dimitris Psonis, Israeli oud player Yair Dalal, Moroccan oudist Driss El Maloumi, and three Afghan traditional musicians — Osman Ahrman, Khaled Arman, and Siar Hashimi.

Sly & The Family Stone – There’s A Riot Goin’ On (1971) [2013, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Sly & The Family Stone - There's A Riot Goin' On (1971) [2013, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

It’s easy to write off There’s a Riot Goin’ On as one of two things — Sly Stone’s disgusted social commentary or the beginning of his slow descent into addiction. It’s both of these things, of course, but pigeonholing it as either winds up dismissing the album as a whole, since it is so bloody hard to categorize.
