was initially considered weak due to limited rehearsal time but the years have been
kind to this recording and its a fantastic set of Mingus compositions, including the
powerful "Freedom" which rivals the works on Mingus Ah-Um for its strength of purpose
and message, in a similar vein to Max Roachs legendary We Insist! album. Mingus is one
of the most important figures in 20th Century music and this live recording documents
his compositional and arranging prowess as well as sheer swinging joy. Essential.

Collecting some of his most important recordings, this is Duke Ellington and his
Orchestra in late 1927 and early 1928, at the peak of their "roaring '20s" popularity.
This was also at the beginning of the Ellington Orchestra's famed run at Harlem's
Cotton Club, a legendary jazz club and host to some of the biggest names in the
history of the music. Featuring the beautiful voice of Adelaide Hall, this collection
includes some of his most highly regarded compositions and titles such as "The Blues
I Love To Sing", "Jubilee Stomp", "Washington Wabble", and "Creole Love Call". In
a career that spanned decades and countless accolades, these might be the finest
recordings Ellington ever made.

More famous for his great film music works than for his Jazz piano playing, composer
and orchestra conductor, Armando Trovajoli was in fact one of the very first musicians
to carry the standard of Jazz in Italy. Originally released on Italian RCA in 1959,
"Trovajoli Jazz piano" was his first official Jazz album and today after 60 years
from its release it still stands as an important proof of an early Italian approach
to Jazz. This is a fine session based on a perfect mixture of all-time favorite Jazz
standards, among them: "These foolish things" and "Round Midnight", and some highly
sophisticated renditions of Broadway Musical themes such as "Have You Met Miss Jones?"

Created in 1952 by bassist Charles Mingus and drummer Max Roach, Debut label was a
first attempt by Jazz musicians to get their music recorded and released under their
own control. A short lived experiment (1952-1957) that produced some memorable works.
The vibrant spirit of Mingus lives through this great selection of rare Debut
recordings with himself as leader of two different line up (quintet / octet) and as
bassist of the Hank Jones trio and the Thad Jones quintet.

05. HYMN OF THE ORIENT
06. BROWNIE EYES

08. DIAL B FOR BEAUTY
09. THEME OF NO REPEAT
10. CHOOSE NOW
Formerly a 10 inch issued on Blue Note in 1953 on Mono, this improved reissue now
features 4 bonus tracks on the B side. (From the original liner notes)The date took
place just a week before Brownie took off for Europe, as a member of that vast edifice
built by the master of multiple decibels, the Lionel Hampton orchestra. Like Gigi
Gryce, the alto saxophonist and fellow-Hamptonian whom Brownie pressed into service
for this session, the young hornman found the occasions for expressing his individual
personality few and far between in so large and monolithic an organization. The
opportunity to record with a small, compact group, aimed at the creation of originality
and relaxation rather than intensity and consternation, was a welcome change of setting
for the two eager youngsters. A third Hampton star also helped to mold this date.
He had also been installed for some time in Hamps trumpet section, but is perhaps
known better as an arranger, and it is in the latter capacity that Quincy Jones, a new
star from Boston, contributed two originals, Wail Bait and Brownie Eyes, for the Brown
session. Completing the front line is Charlie Rouse, a tenor man whom most fans will
remember from the famous Tadd Dameron conclave that produced The Squirrel, Our Delight,
Dameronia, etc. on BLP 5004. Charlie has also been heard in the orchestras of Duke
Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie and others.

04. HOT SAUCE
05. STARS OVER MARAKECH
06. FREFFIE
07. CARVING THE ROCK
08. I REMEMBER YOU
09. ITS A LOVELY DAY TODAY (BONUS TRACK)
Originally issued in 1953 on Blue Note in the fascinating 10 inch format, the album
is now being reissued with an extra track on Side B (from the original liner notes)
What style of piano does Elmo Hope play? It would be easy to answer "The same as Bud
Powell," but this would not do justice to a musician who, while coming along the same
route as Bud for so many years, is now ploughing a separate path for himself, though
in a similar general neighborhood. His original material, though it has the intense,
rapt quality of Buds, remains personal, whether it be the relatively serene approach
of Happy Hour or the minor Moroccan mood of Stars Over Marakech. When you hear Elmo
Hope, your first reaction will quite possibly be "Well, where has he been all these
years?" And the fact is that while Elmo was giving recitals at the age of 14 and even
won medals during his teen-aged concertizing, he has never, until now, achieved much
more than local recognition. If you will pardon the pun, this might be the time to say
that there is new hope for Elmo.

Here is the long awaited vinyl reissue of the debut masterpiece of Jeanne Lee and
Ran Blake. Produced by "Third Stream" genius Gunther Schuller and originally released
in 1961 "The Newest Sound Around" stands as one of the most original and creative
vocal-piano duet albums in Jazz history. This is deep, intimate and atmospheric music
that naturally flows through transformed jazz standards, mournful gospels and highly
imaginative originals. It's time to rediscover Jeanne Lee's enchanting voice and Ran
Blake's unique piano style and this is the right album to start with. "Full of love,
care, and humanity. They always dance through melodies with devotion and intelligence,
and the feeling of their music is always intimate" ~ Danilo Prez

Paul Chambers and drummer Philly Joe Jones. These are good solid blowing sessions,
originally not even scheduled for a release and consisting of fine and surprising
renditions of Charlie Parker's "Dexterity", Benny Golson's "Stablemates" and Cole
Porter's "Easy to Love", plus three originals by Coltrane, Chambers and Drew.

DAD 140 STANLEY TURRENTINE UP AT MINTON'S 2LP 07.2019
A very welcomed reissue of this long out-of-print and hard-to-find Stanley Turrentine
live album. Originally released on Blue Note as two separate volumes in 1961, Up At
Minton's catches the Stanley Turrentine quintet live at the mythical Minton Club in
New York, in 1961, when the tenor saxophonist was leading a super tight quintet feat.
Grant Green (guitar), Horace Parlan (piano), George Tucker (bass), and Al Harewood
(drums). This is hard swinging soulful jazz at its best.

two modern Jazz masters such as trumpeter Clifford Brown and drummer Max Roach the
quintet shines through a fine set of classic standards, including "Stompin' at the
Savoy", Cole Porter's "I Get a Kick out of You" and a couple of Brown-Roach originals.

standard and five originals, all based on complex melodies and hard swinging rhythms.

DAD 149 MCCOY TYNER : NIGHTS OF BALLADS & BLUES LP 04.2020
As the title implies, this 1963 album from jazz pinaist McCoy Tyner (here available
as a vinyl reissue) is a low-key, after-hours affair. Far removed from the intensity
of his work with then-boss John Coltrane, with 'Nights of Ballads & Blues' Tyner
presented a fine mix of standards and bebop classics.
