Sonny Stitt: Don't Call Me Bird!
by Samuel Chell
Absolute Distribution, a Spanish consortium of labels, has done it again, following up last year's welcome single-disc reissue (at least outside the U.S.) of Stitt's 1970s Cobblestone sessions, Tune-Up! + Constellation, with two 1959 West Coast dates for Verve featuring Stitt on alto with a crack California rhythm section. Even though a first-time reissue, the disc ...
Carmen McRae: Carmen McRae: Live at Sugar Hill - San Francisco
by Samuel Chell
This overlooked on-location session from 1963 reveals, perhaps more than any other recording, why Carmen McRae at the time deserved to complete the dominating triumvirate in which Ella Fitzgerald's and Sarah Vaughan's places were always secure. In the 1970s the marketplace would often hamstring her choice of material and settings, and in the 1980s the years ...

Terry Gibbs: Terry Gibbs Quartet Featuring Terry Pollard
by Samuel Chell
This eponymous album, made in 1954 for Mercury's EmArcy label, was Terry Gibbs' first recording under his own name and established him as the “wild man of the vibes" (he still is!). The nine tunes are a combination of Gibbs originals and swing era-classics, with only one ballad (Jimmy Van Heusen's “Imagination") to give the listener ...
Donald Byrd Quartet featuring Bobby Jaspar: Au Chat Qui Peche 1958
by Samuel Chell
Were you to ask trumpeter Donald Byrd what moment in his career he would most like to relive, it would not be surprising if he selected the period documented on this recording. It was the late summer of 1958, and Byrd and his quartet had settled in for an extended gig, including practically carte blanche musical ...
Melba Liston: Melba Liston and Her 'Bones
by Hrayr Attarian
Finding an obscure recording, especially one of quality, can be exciting for jazz enthusiasts. This reissue of Melba Liston's only recording as a leader, originally released by the short-lived Metro Jazz label half a century ago, is cause for celebration. The reissued Melba Liston and Her 'Bones also includes four tracks from another session which was ...

The 4 Most/Bob Stewart: The 4 Most/Bob Stewart

The first half of this CD consists of a previously released Dawn album from 1956 called The 4 Most Sing The Arrangements of Joe Derise. The 4 Most was a vocal group quartet that consisted of Al Evans, Chuck Sedacca, Joe Derise and Marv Falcon, supported here by an octet that included Dick Sherman, Gene Quill, ...
Jordi Pujol & Fresh Sound Records
by Phil DiPietro
A simple, yet incredibly intriguing question stimulated me to pursue a label profile for the remarkable Fresh Sounds, New Talent, jazz label. That is, why is the vibrant New York City small-group jazz scene being documented by a label out of Barcelona? Until recently, I was under the assumption that they were US based. I confess, ...
