Spyro Gyra – Wrapped In A Dream (2006) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Spyro Gyra - Wrapped In A Dream (2006) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

The Buffalo-based instrumental ensemble is always credited for contributing to the pop, R&B, and jazz hybrid that eventually evolved into today’s smooth jazz — but happily, as the music in that genre has gotten slightly more predictable, Spyro Gyra have been rocking, rolling, and improvising in a lot of unexpected directions.

Spyro Gyra – In Modern Times (2001) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Spyro Gyra - In Modern Times (2001) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

When you consider that 1979 was the year that launched Spyro Gyra onto the pop charts with their number one hit “Morning Dance,” for what was essentially a new style of jazz, their achievements seem all the more astounding. With the release of In Modern Times, the group commemorates 25 years of recording and a move to Heads Up International with this fresh, new collection.

Art Tatum – Piano Starts Here: Live At The Shrine (2008) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Art Tatum - Piano Starts Here: Live At The Shrine (2008) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

For many serious jazz fans, no pianist has ever approached the technical mastery of Art Tatum, though his virtuoso skills usually meant he was at his best unaccompanied. Many of his recordings from the 1930s and ’40s were limited by the deficiencies of recording methods at the time. Piano Starts Here, long considered one of Tatum’s definitive albums, combined four solos from a 1933 studio session (his first as a soloist, aside from a test pressing a year earlier), and a fabulous solo concert at the Shrine Continue reading “Art Tatum – Piano Starts Here: Live At The Shrine (2008) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]”

George Wallington Quintet - Jazz For The Carriage Trade (1956) [2014, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

During 1956-57 trumpeter Donald Byrd and altoist Phil Woods (both important up-and-coming players) were regular members of pianist George Wallington’s quintet. For this CD reissue, bassist Teddy Kotick and drummer Art Taylor complete the group on a program that includes three standards (“Our Delight,” “Our Love Is Here to Stay” and “What’s New”), a pair of Woods originals (“Together We Wail” and “But George”) and Frank Foster’s “Foster Dulles.” Continue reading “George Wallington Quintet – Jazz For The Carriage Trade (1956) [2014, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]”

Thankful could be subtitled the finest hour for Natalie Cole and the songwriting/production duo of Chuck Jackson and Marvin Yancy. The album flows from track to track. It boasts the beautiful number one R&B/Top Ten pop million-selling ballad “Our Love,” as well as radio-aired tracks: the rousing, gospel-ish “Be Thankful,” ” Just Can’t Stay Away,” the lushly orchestrated torch number “Aint Nothing Stronger Than Love,” and the smooth tropical-flavored “La Costa.” Continue reading “Natalie Cole ‎– Thankful (1977) {1980, MFSL Remastered, CD-Quality + Hi-Res Vinyl Rip}”

With a restrained yet potent funk band and a few cameos from luminaries in the jazz world, Al Jarreau gets plenty of opportunities to wrap his rubbery, ever-changing timbre around an agreeable collection of tunes, the majority of which he wrote or co-wrote.

Ray Charles + The Count Basie Orchestra – Ray Sings Basie Swings (2007) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Ray Charles + The Count Basie Orchestra - Ray Sings Basie Swings (2007) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Ray Sings, Basie Swings, huh? Hmm, well, yes and no. You see, the story goes something like this. In 2005, Concord Records exec John Burk, who produced Ray Charles’ superb late-career, Grammy-winning Genius Loves Company, found a reel of tape simply labeled “Ray/Basie.” Upon further analysis, it was determined that the 1973 recording featured Ray Charles backed by his own band — Count Basie and his band had actually recorded earlier that day.

Herb Alpert turned to jazz’s Shorty Rogers — then toiling in the L.A. film and TV studios — for voice and string arrangements on his Christmas album, and Rogers in turn went all out for schmaltz. Rogers’ cooing voices introduce several of the tunes, whereupon the Tijuana Brass do their mostly unrelated Ameriachi thing familiar from past albums. Indeed, “Las Mananitas” seems to have been lifted from an obscure B-side of a 45 and overdubbed with the Rogers treatment. Jingling bells is a recurring song theme — first with “Jingle Bells,” then the cloying “The Bell That Couldn’t Jingle,” and ultimately “Jingle Bell Rock.” Continue reading “Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass – Christmas Album (1968) {2015, Remaster, WEB, CD-Quality + Hi-Res}”
