Charles Mingus: Mingus Moves
by Jim Santella
Recorded in 1973 with one of his best ensembles, Charles Mingus’ Atlantic album has “that Mingus sound" down pat, pretty much at dead center. Piano, bass and drums roll out the beat while horns tackle the composer’s changes. There’s never a dull moment. Highly recommended, the album opens with a typically Mingus slow 6/8 dramatic “Canon" ...
Ralph Moore: The Complete Landmark Recordings
by C. Andrew Hovan
A musician who has been sadly absent from the current jazz scene, tenor saxophonist Ralph Moore took part in the '80s revival of hard bop while fashioning one of the most recognizable sounds around. After he made his debut recording for the Reservoir label, Moore would go on to record a pair of albums each for ...
Ralph Moore: The Complete Landmark Recordings
by Jim Santella
His exposure with Jay Leno’s Tonight Show band has brought tenor saxophonist Ralph Moore right into our living rooms and bedrooms. By reissuing two Landmark albums from 1988 and 1990 in one double CD package, 32 Jazz has reintroduced valuable straight-ahead quartet and quintet material that caught several young lions near the beginning of their careers: ...
Kenny Burrell: 12*15*78
by Douglas Payne
This period of Kenny Burrell's career found the guitarist playing more -- and better -- than ever. But he had long before abandoned his high-profile role as house guitarist for Prestige and Blue Note (in the 1950s and 1960s) and as a studio guitarist on a staggering number of jazz, pop and film dates (during the ...
Pat Martino: Comin' & Goin'
by Douglas Payne
The two-disc set, Comin' and Goin', collects guitarist Pat Martino's final Muse LP of the 1970s, Exit (1976), and his first Muse recording of the 1980s, The Return (1987). In between, Martino recorded two fine fusion albums for Warner Bros. (both documented on the 32 Jazz set, First Light ), suffered a brain aneurysm, lost all ...
Charles Mingus: Mingus Moves
by C. Andrew Hovan
So many of the jazz great are now gone, a fact that no one would dispute but that really hits home after listening to a masterpiece such as this reissue of Charles Mingus' Mingus Moves. Not only have we lost the impetuous bassist and composer, but also drummer Dannie Richmond, tenor titan George Adams and the ...
Rahsaan Roland Kirk / Yusef Lateef: Separate But Equal
by Jim Santella
Combining two 1970s albums in one package, 32 Jazz ties together two very unique individuals. That they both play saxophones exceptionally well is secondary to the creative thought-provoking humor each provides his audience. Kirk’s double LP was first issued in 1975, while Lateef’s standard-length session was first released several years earlier. Roland Kirk’s The Case Of ...
Mark Murphy: Sings Nat King Cole... And More
by Jim Santella
“Gee, it’s great, after bein’ out late, walkin’ my baby back home ... Hand in hand to a barbecue stand, right from her doorway we roam. Eats, and then it’s a pleasure again, walkin’ my baby back home." So goes the classic tune by Fred Ahlert and Roy Turk. When Mark Murphy sings such familiar territory, ...
Joe Zawinul: The Rise And Fall Of The Third Stream
by John Sharpe
Originally released in 1967 on the obscure Vortex label, this CD finds Joe Zawinul at the tail end of his nine year association with Cannonball Adderley. Although Zawinul began his jazz career as a mainstream, hard bop pianist, he would evolve into a noted composer and a pioneer in the use of electronics, exotic sounds and ...

by C. Michael Bailey
Genius in the Shadows. Wessell “Warmdaddy” Anderson gets more press, Sherman Irby more exposure, but perhaps more talented than both is Vincent Herring. Early On joins Herring’s early recordings from the Landmark label ( Evidence and Dawnbird ), which was purchased by Joel Dorn and Bob Miller’s 32 Jazz Records. These recordings find the 35 year ...
