Freddie Hubbard & Jimmy Heath: Jam Gems

Read "Jam Gems" reviewed by John Sharpe


Jam Gems is Label M’s latest offering from their ongoing series of previously unearthed recordings taped at Baltimore’s Famous Ballroom by The Left Bank Jazz Society. Formed in 1964, this group often booked Sunday afternoon jam sessions at various venues. However, the tapes were never released until producer Joel Dorn struck a deal to issue the ...

Sonny Stitt: "Live" At The Left Bank

Read ""Live" At The Left Bank" reviewed by Jim Santella


The electric saxophone was a good idea that just didn’t work out. Sonny Stitt is able to play “alto,” “tenor” or a combination of the two synchronized in perfect harmony. The baritone sax effect is added to “The Shadow of Your Smile” and “Blues Up and Down.” His skills on the saxophone aren’t in the least ...

Freddie Hubbard: Jam Gems

Read "Jam Gems" reviewed by AAJ Staff


For those of us who weren't able to attend any of the now-becoming-legendary Left Bank Jazz Society sessions, Label M's continuing documentation of the excitement within the Famous Ballroom provides the best available substitute for having been there.

Paul Desmond: Lemme Tell Ya 'Bout Desmond

Read "Lemme Tell Ya 'Bout Desmond" reviewed by AAJ Staff


Oddly, few saxophonists choose to imitate Paul Desmond's sound.

While Desmond's sound within the Dave Brubeck Quartet of course is as well-known as Brubeck's himself, Desmond's coolness remains ...

Rufus Harley: The Pied Piper Of Jazz

Read "The Pied Piper Of Jazz" reviewed by Jim Santella


A 50-50 mixture of straight-ahead jazz and ethnic Scotch music makes for something rare and unusual. Rufus Harley was already clearly accomplished as a jazz tenor saxophonist in the early 1960s. Growing up in Philadelphia can do that to you. His tenor and flute work on The Pied Piper Of Jazz leave a favorable impression. The ...

Al Cohn & Zoot Sims: Easy As Pie

Read "Easy As Pie" reviewed by AAJ Staff


Once again, Label M mines the vast resources of jazz performances that Baltimore's Left Bank Jazz Society sagaciously recorded, knowing that they were hearing unparalleled music in their midst but not knowing that it would entertain jazz listeners thirty-plus years hence. It seems that the Left Bank group was at its best when it recorded horns, ...
