Gary Burton / Chick Corea – Crystal Silence (1973) [2017, Japan, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Gary Burton / Chick Corea - Crystal Silence (1973) [2017, Japan, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

For Crystal Silence, the first of several partnerships between Chick Corea and vibraphonist Gary Burton in the 1970s, the two musicians selected an interesting array of material. The compositions on this record are all modern ones, either by Steve Swallow, Mike Gibbs, or Corea himself. It is a mostly downtempo affair, which allows each player to stretch out and play highly melodic solos over the often difficult changes.

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.

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?

Spyro Gyra – Good To Go-Go (2007) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Spyro Gyra - Good To Go-Go (2007) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Thirty-one years and 27 albums in (not including compilations), urban contemporary jazz unit Spyro Gyra are playing with the funky inspiration and clever melodic and rhythmic invention that have made them synonymous with the genre, but that they haven’t displayed on their own recordings for some time.

Spyro Gyra – The Deep End (2004) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Spyro Gyra - The Deep End (2004) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

With their third label release, the longtime contemporary jazz powerhouse ensemble led by fluid and funky sax legend Jay Beckenstein celebrates 30 years of a consistent mix of making instrumental pop hits and pushing the musical envelopes into fusion territory.

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]

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]”
