:Album Description:Japanese only pressing, 24-bit remastered reissue of the late jazz/fusion drummer's 1969 album. Sony. 2005. :Williams's group Lifetime, which looked on paper like an organ jazz-funk trio, produced in 1969 this headlong hybrid from jazz complexity and rock immediacy. Williams, fresh from edging Davis towards his jazz-rock-soul period, concocts a driving, high-volume fusion that has more conviction and flare than anyone else's would until the advent of the great Mahavishnu Orchestra a couple of years later. That band was led by Williams's collaborator here, John McLaughlin, as blistering and savvy a guitarist as any jazz-rock saw. Larry Young's organ is a skirmishing ...

Pure Jazz
(more) »rank: 12751by: Various Artists
: :With the exclamatory message '18 of the Greatest Jazz Recordings Ever!' inset in its tray card, Pure Jazz isn't a bashful anthology. It opens with Nina Simone's early hit, the shuffle-rhythm 'My Baby Just Cares for Me,' then features another dozen vocal tracks that hit high marks all around. The most familiar are probably Billie Holiday's 'God Bless the Child,' here from the achingly poignant Lady Sings the Blues collection, and Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong teaming up on 'Summertime.' But there's also Sarah Vaughan on 'Misty' and Nat 'King' Cole on 'Unforgettable.' Among the instrumental cuts are Michel Legrand's 1958 arrangement of ...

New Orleans, Vol. 1
(more) »rank: 22181by: Preservation Hall Jazz Band
: :Preservation Hall has been a New Orleans landmark since 1961, when it first began providing a regular stage for the city's traditional musicians. It quickly became the object of regular pilgrimages for traditional musicians and enthusiasts around the world. By the time this recording was made in 1976, the official band had coalesced around the Humphrey brothers, Percy on trumpet and Willie on clarinet, veterans already in their 70s. Their age shows only in their fidelity to the music's repertoire and instrumentation, with the band still using a banjo player, Narvin Kimball, and the younger tubaist Allan Jaffe in place of a string ...
