Louis Jordan & His Tympani Five
: :Think five discs and 131 songs is too much Louis Jordan? Not a chance. Not for a man who so consistently and so definitively achieved the elusive and delicate combination of musicianship and accessibility. Not for a man who paved new and vital musical roads without ever losing his sense of style or his appetite for fun. Covering Jordan's historic (not to mention commercially successful) Decca tenure (1938 to 1950), this amazing collection finds the alto sax player, songwriter, and singer building blues and swing into a hot mix that came ...

The Freelance Years: The Complete Riverside and Contemporary Recordings
: :Sonny Rollins has been a major figure in jazz since the 1950s, a titanic improviser whose weighty sound and speech-like ease have embodied a larger-than-life personality--swaggering, comic, soaring, and tender by turns. For all that career longevity, though, his most creative work dates from the flowering of his talent in the late '50s, when he emerged as a dominant presence after years as a sideman with Miles Davis and Max Roach. He had developed a unique gift for the extended solo, creating remarkable musical architecture with fragments of melody and infinitely ...

The Secret Sessions
: :'Bill [Evans] was being recorded once a year, if that,' notes Mike Harris, who surreptitiously recorded all of the music found on this revelatory eight-CD collection, 'and this incredible music was just going up in the air 363 days out of 365.' Thanks to the sheer devotion (obsession?) of Harris, it wasn't. Harris and his wife were always front-and-center at New York's Village Vanguard whenever Evans brought his trio in for a run, tape machine humming. Evans was notoriously reluctant to record, so, moral issues aside, the release of secret Evans ...

COLTRANE The Classic Quartet: Complete Impulse! Studio Recordings
: essential recording:There have been many Coltrane compilations and box sets over the years since the saxophonist's passing in 1967, but this eight-CD complete collection of his quartet's studio recordings between 1961 and 1965 is the must-have. Jazz may be a music blessed with dazzling soloists, but few groups in its history seem up to perfectly matching the intentions of their leaders: Louis Armstrong's Hot Five and Hot Seven, Bill Evans's trio of 1960-61, and Miles Davis's mid-60's quintet are among the few that immediately come to mind. Coltrane's quartet of ...

The Heavyweight Champion: The Complete Atlantic Recordings of John Coltrane (Incl: 7 CD's; 72 Pg. Hd.C. Book)
: :John Coltrane not only made his reputation once and for all during his brief 1959-61 stay at Atlantic Records; he cut enough material to allow the label to continue releasing 'new' albums (the Don Cherry collaboration The Avant-Garde) until a year before his 1967 death. The Heavyweight Champion collects those masters plus revealing alternate takes and false starts in a typical handsome Rhino box that is also packed with informative notes and great Lee Friedlander photos. While the sheer volume of music and emotion Coltrane and cohorts throw at the listener ...

Live at the Lighthouse
:Album Description:This double LP, which was trumpeter Lee Morgan's next-to-last recording, contains four lengthy side-long explorations by the trumpeter's regular quintet of the period (with Bennie Maupin on tenor, flute and bass clarinet, pianist Harold Mabern, bassist Jymie Merritt and drummer Mickey Roker). The music is very modal-oriented and probably disappointed many of Morgan's longtime fans but he had gotten tired of playing the same hard bop-styled music that he had excelled at during the past decade and was searching for newer sounds. The influence of the avant-garde and early fusion ...
