John Coltrane: Blue Train
by Mark Schlack
Imagine that New York’s 52nd Street jazz scene never died and John Coltrane lived his life out there, playing an endless series of jam sessions. What if he had never passed through the portal of Miles’ and McCoy’s modal playing, down the rivers of Africa and the Middle East, propelled by the Black experience of the ...
Lee Morgan: Sonic Boom
by Germein Linares
A quick inspection of the Lee Morgan discography unearths an obscure album sandwiched between 1966's The Rajah and 1967's The Procrastinator. The album, Sonic Boom, was recorded in 1967 yet remained silent in the Blue Note vaults for twelve years, resurfacing only twice, as an LP in 1979 and eleven years later as a CD. Both ...
Dianne Reeves: A Little Moonlight
by Elliott Simon
Vocalist Dianne Reeves is coming off back to back Grammys for two highly orchestrated efforts: the Sarah Vaughan tribute Calling , and her live set In the Moment. For A Little Moonlight , she has stripped down this approach and used an intimate format to present captivating versions of jazz standards. A Little Moonlight is Reeves ...
Sam Rivers: Fuschia Swing Song
by David Vance
1964 was an important year for the jazz saxophone. John Coltrane recorded the seminal A Love Supreme and Eric Dolphy made Out to Lunch, a masterpiece of the early jazz avant-garde. With that in mind, it’s not as surprising as it is unfortunate that saxophonist Sam Rivers’ debut Fuchsia Swing Song doesn’t get much press. Rivers ...
Larry Young: Mother Ship
by Germein Linares
Jazz fans be warned: Larry Young's Mother Ship has arrived. Recorded in 1969, this wonderfully funky craft enjoys its first CD release on Blue Note. Manning the controls are Young on organ, Lee Morgan on trumpet, Herbert Morgan on tenor sax, and Eddie Gladden on drums. Though Herbert Morgan and Gladden never became instantly identifiable jazz ...
Andrew Hill: Passing Ships
by Germein Linares
As told on Michael Cuscuna's liner notes, the music on Andrew Hill's Passing Ships has gone unheard for 34 years. Thanks to the efforts of both Hill and Cuscuna, the tapes of this 1969 session were properly restored and revived. This music is available for the first time as a limited edition 24-bit re-mastered CD.
Hank Mobley: The Flip
by Germein Linares
Leonard Feather once hailed Hank Mobley as “the middleweight champion of the tenor saxophone." Mobley was better than that. An exquisite soul messenger, Mobley was criticized for not being as aggressive, voluminous, or trailblazing as his contemporaries. Indeed, he was not. Instead, his music was steeped in care, precision and nuances. In Mobley's hands, such treatment ...
Cassandra Wilson: Glamoured
by Mike Perciaccante
Cassandra Wilson possesses one of the most recognizable voices in modern jazz. On Glamoured, she again delivers a wonderfully realized album with just the right mix of well-chosen, eclectic covers (Sting's “Fragile," Willie Nelson's “Crazy," Muddy Waters' “Honey Bee" and Bob Dylan's “Lay Lady Lay") and immensely catchy originals ("Heaven Knows" “On This Train," “I Want ...
