Hommage To Africa
** Deluxe matte laminate gatefold sleeve and polylined paper inner sleeve ** Paris, August 1969. Sunny Murray books a studio for a single afternoon and walks in with thirteen musicians - among them three members of the Art Ensemble of Chicago, the working sextet built around Archie Shepp, and the singer Jeanne Lee. What they cut that day, Hommage To Africa, is one of the high-water marks of the legendary BYG Actuel catalogue, and one of the warmest and least abrasive records the free jazz moveme…
2-3-4
One of the great small-group dates in the Impulse! book, and a quietly perfect one. Cut February 5 and 8, 1962, produced by Bob Thiele, with an across-the-generations cast: drummer Manne steering with the lightest touch, the mighty Coleman Hawkins in a late-career surge that reminds you exactly why he invented the tenor saxophone as we know it, Eddie Costa and Hank Jones trading the piano chair, George Duvivier anchoring the bass. The whole thing breathes - duet, trio, quartet, the group shrinki…
Live at Low Four Studio, Manchester
Nat Birchall, saxophonist and composer, one of the most authentic voices in contemporary spiritual jazz, presents Path of Enlightenment, a sonic journey through rarely explored scales and modes, from Ethiopia to Byzantium, from ancient Egypt to South Africa.
For this new recording, Birchall deliberately chose the quartet format - tenor sax, piano, double bass and drums - seeking a cohesion and intimacy that allows the music to breathe and tell its story. Joining him are his trusted collaborators…
He's Coming
Released on Polydor in 1972, this is Roy Ayers hitting his stride. The Ubiquity sound has clicked into place: jazz improvisation, funk underneath, soul harmony, spiritual weight, all of it pulling in the same direction. The vibraphonist leans hard into groove without losing the openness, soul-jazz tipping over into the jazz-funk that would carry him through the decade. The band is loaded - Harry Whitaker on electric piano, organ and voice; John Williams on bass with Ron Carter stepping in on "We…
The Artistry of Freddie Hubbard
Caught at the exact moment the young trumpeter steps fully into his own. Recorded July 2, 1962, at Rudy Van Gelder's studio, released in 1963 on Impulse!, this is Hubbard with technique to burn but warmth to match - every line sculpted, every phrase rhythmically alive. Around him a ridiculous cast: John Gilmore (yes, the Sun Ra tenor man) shadowing Hubbard's lines with that crooked, unmistakable tone, Curtis Fuller and Tommy Flanagan filling out the harmony, Art Davis and Louis Hayes locking dow…
