Various Artists – Funky Organ: B3 Jazz Grooves (2007) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Various Artists - Funky Organ: B3 Jazz Grooves (2007) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Funky Organ: B-3 Jazz Grooves is a killer little comp of some truly bad-ass Hammond B-3 madness with music by Charles Earland, Bill Heid, Joey DeFrancesco, Mike LeDonne and Joey’s pop, Papa John. This is stellar funky groove played out over 50 minutes with bass out no-holds-barred greasy goodness. Continue reading “Various Artists – Funky Organ: B3 Jazz Grooves (2007) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]”

Jackie McLean Quintet – Lights Out! (1956) [2013, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Jackie McLean Quintet - Lights Out! (1956) [2013, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Altoist Jackie McLean’s second session as a leader is reissued on this CD. The music that he makes with trumpeter Donald Byrd, pianist Elmo Hope, bassist Doug Watkins and drummer Art Taylor is essentially hard bop with fairly simple (or in some cases nonexistent) melody statements preceding two romps through the “I Got Rhythm” chord changes, a pair of blues, a thinly disguised “Embraceable You” and a straightforward version of “A Foggy Day.” Enjoyable if not really essential music from the up-and-coming altoist.

Jackie McLean Quintet Introducing Bill Hardman – Jackie’s Pal (1956) [2013, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Jackie McLean Quintet Introducing Bill Hardman - Jackie's Pal (1956) [2013, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Here was Bill Hardman, who he introduced into a quintet with Mal Waldron (piano), Paul Chambers (bass) and Philly Joe Jones (drums). Hardman’s hot breaking tone sounds a bit less forceful than on his (soon-to-be) later work with The Messengers, but it was already identifiable…Chambers has some exciting bowed spots, Mal Waldron was a bit bland and while Jones’ drumming fills the role, it missed the push Art Taylor’s drumming seemed to invite so often with McLean.

Lou Donaldson – Blues Walk (1958) {2010, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip}

Total Size: 1.38 GB (ISO) + 649 MB (FLAC) | 3% RAR Recovery
Label: Analogue Productions | USA | Cat#: CBNJ 81593 SA | Genre: Bop, Hard Bop

Lou Donaldson’s undisputed masterpiece, Blues Walk, marks the point where the altoist began to decisively modify his heavy Charlie Parker influence and add a smoky, bluesy flavor of his own. The material is still firmly in the bebop vein, and the mellower moments aren’t as sleepy as some of Donaldson’s subsequent work, so the album sounds vital and distinctive even as it slows down and loosens things up.

The second record by the Three Sounds (which, like too many of their recordings, has yet to be reissued on CD in the U.S.) features the increasingly popular group in prime form. Pianist Gene Harris, bassist Andy Simpkins and drummer Bill Dowdy are in top form performing their brand of funky jazz, which left plenty of room for inventive solos along with the percolating grooves. On this set, the trio plays seven standards (including “Besame Mucho,” “Love Walked In” and “I Could Write a Book”), plus the original “Jinne Lou.” Well worth searching for.

Keith Jarrett’s Standards Trio spread their wings during live performance in as astute and dignified a manner as any group since the similarly sized Bill Evans ensembles of three decades prior. Bassist Gary Peacock and drummer Jack DeJohnette easily match the Evans bandmates Scott LaFaro and Paul Motian in terms of their telepathy, rhythmic savvy, harmonic ideas and supportive idealism.

Unlike the other two Keith Jarrett trio recordings from January 1983, this collaboration with bassist Gary Peacock and drummer Jack DeJohnette does not feature standards. The trio performs the 30-minute “Flying” and a 6-minute “Prism,” both of them Jarrett originals. “Flying,” which has several sections, keeps one’s interest througout while the more concise “Prism” has a beautiful melody. It is a nice change to hear Jarrett (who normally plays unaccompanied) interacting with a trio of superb players.

Tony Bennett – The Complete Improv Recordings (2004) [4CDs, Box Set]

Tony Bennett - The Complete Improv Recordings (2004) [4CDs, Box Set]

For those new to the music of Tony Bennett, Improv was a label started by Tony Bennett and businessman Bill Hassett. Bennett was fed up with the suits at Columbia Records, who were trying to make him sing rock & roll. When his contract expired at the beginning of the 1970s, he and Hassett formed a label to help him realize his aesthetic ambitions, and Improv was born.

Nina Simone – The Complete RCA Albums Collection (2011) [9CDs, Box Set]

Nina Simone - The Complete RCA Albums Collection (2011) [9CDs, Box Set]

Nina Simone was a singular artist, and she went where she pleased, leaving behind a recorded legacy that is passionate, political, defiant, and delicate by turns, no matter what strain of folk, blues, jazz, or gospel she was dipping into, and she did it all with dignity, grace, and intelligence. This set collects all nine of her albums for RCA Records (released between 1967 and 1974) Continue reading “Nina Simone – The Complete RCA Albums Collection (2011) [9CDs, Box Set]”
