Genre: Jazz, Hard Bop, Post-Bop | RAR 3% Rec. | Label: Blue Note (7243 5 63803 2 5)

Fuego - a title that might be somewhat misleading - is the final Blue Note recording exclusively pairing Donald Byrd with Jackie McLean, a fruitful partnership that set the yin of the (in this case) restrained trumpeter, against the yang of the tart and extroverted alto saxophonist. While not quite a unified whole, the two were involved in turf battles that were based on mutual respect, here exuding a quieter fire that toned down McLean and muted Byrd to attain an intriguing harmonic balance. Duke Pearson's clever piano in the middle, with Doug Watkins playing bass and favored drummer Lex Humphries, made for one of the more diverse sounds in modern jazz circa 1959-1960. Of course hard bop is at the core of this band, but Byrd is moving further into post-bop, as served up heartily by the two horns during the modal, rambling, and staggered theme of the title selection…

John Lee Hooker developed a “talking blues” style that became his trademark. Though similar to the early Delta tradition, his metrically free approach and unique sound would make him a staple of Detroit blues. Often called the “The King of the Boogie”, Hooker's driving, rhythmic approach to guitar playing has become an integral part of the blues. His thunderous electric guitar sounded raw, while his basic technique was riveting. This quintessential collector’s edition includes two of Hooker’s finest albums: That’s My Story (1960), and House of the Blues (1959). These two masterpieces have been remastered and packaged together in this very special release. Contained here is the cream of the crop from Hooker's hit-making stretch during his most inspired years. Without a doubt, this is the material upon which John Lee Hooker's legend was built.

A year on from “Mack the Knife” featuring Ella in Berlin, we have “Ella in Hollywood”…

Walking in the Night, recorded for RCA a year before the legendary Best Italian Jazz 1962, is actually the stronger album. Along with saxophonist Gianni Basso and trumpeter Oscar Valdambrini, the quintet lineup includes the great bassist Giorgio Azzolini, pianist Renato Sellani, and drummer Gianni Carzola. This 11-tune set is a much more diverse program, consisting not only of flaming hard bop and ballads, but killer, Euro-styled Latin groovers such as "Lotar" by the trumpeter, and Attilo Donadio's wonderful take on American West Coast jazz in "Blues for Gerry." There are some great surprises here, too, including the fleet, knotty "Estroverso" by Piero Umiliani, which is a showcase for how tight and quick this group could be when playing bop…

Leo Wright's Atlantic debut, Blues Shout, effectively summarizes his career as a sideman, embracing the expressionist sensibilities of longtime boss Dizzy Gillespie as well as the Latin inspirations of longtime bandmate Lalo Schifrin to create a fiercely modern and uncommonly impassioned sound all its own. Joined by pianist Junior Mance, trumpeter Richard Williams, bassist Art Davis, and drummer Charlie Persip, Wright divides his attention between his signature alto sax and flute, delivering a series of thoughtful and lyrical solos that positively radiate energy. The blues referenced in the title are more a feeling than a sound, underscoring the emotional intensity that bristles below the surface of every note.

Although Orrin Keepnews' Riverside Records was primarily a jazz label, the company dabbled in blues in the 1960s - and one of the bluesmen who recorded for Riverside was John Lee Hooker. Recorded in 1960, this Keepnews-produced session came at a time when Hooker was signed to Vee-Jay. The last thing Keepnews wanted to do was emulate Hooker's electric-oriented, very amplified Vee-Jay output, which fared well among rock and R&B audiences. Keepnews had an acoustic country blues vision for the bluesman, and That's My Story favors a raw, stripped-down, bare-bones approach - no electric guitar, no distortion, no singles aimed at rock & rollers. Over the years, Hooker fans have debated the merits of his Riverside albums…

The band immortalised here was a regular working unit in California in 1960, recording sets under Teddy Edwards' leadership for both Contemporary and Pacific Jazz. The quartet's major label showcase on Atlantic came here, under pianist Joe Castro's name, and it's the group's mildest, least-intriguing set. Despite the title, much of the album has an atmospheric, pianistic quality, with Edwards' granular tone sounding thinner, more refined than on his own dates. Groove Funk Soul as an album only achieves a modicum of those three qualities on the cut "Play Me the Blues", where Edwards gets down and dirty, drummer Billy Higgins works up a nice little sweat, and bassist Leroy Vinnegar unleashes some funky soul groove. Elsewhere the album sounds more upscale nightclub than grimy dive bar, lots of brushwork and tidy intimacy.

Avid Jazz here presents four classic Jacques Loussier albums, including original LP liner notes on a finely re-mastered double CD. “Plays Bach Volumes 1, 2 & 3”; “Jacques Loussier Joue Kurt Weill”.
Following in the footsteps of the renowned guitarist Django Reinhardt who had experimented with putting the swing into classical music before the war, here we present the French pianist and arranger Jacques Loussier with three volumes of his celebrated series, “Play Bach”. Accompanied as ever by Christian Garros on drums and Pierre Michelot on bass, Loussier shows us just how suited to the jazz idiom the music of the great classical composer was! Alongside the three “Play Bach” volumes we present the hard to find album “Jacques Loussier joue Kurt Weill” an album only released in France and up to now unavailable on CD! All four albums have been digitally re-mastered.
