Charles Earland: Black Drops
by Derek Taylor
“The Mighty Burner” isn’t the kind of moniker bestowed on just any man. Charles Earland earned it by cultivating one of the grittiest and greasiest organ attacks of the early Seventies. His skills behind the B-3 are in full effect on this smoldering slab of fusion-laced funk from '70. Regular sidemen like Pruden and Jones take ...
Eddie : Battle Stations
by Derek Taylor
Jaws and Griff made for a contrasting match on the bandstand, as colorful as their respective sobriquets. The former's gruff and garrulous tone found purchase through often clipped and cantankerous phrasings, while the later favored a smoother sound and jackrabbit swiftness. Together they were one of the most successful tenor teams on the scene, a pair ...
Sonny Rollins: Sonny Rollins + 4 (20-Bit Remastered)
by C. Michael Bailey
The Sound of Sonny... Sonny Rollins played in the influential Clifford Brown—Max Roach Quintet from late 1955 until mid-1957, when Brown and Bud Powell’s brother, pianist Richie Powell tragically perished in an automobile accident. About halfway through his tenure with the band, Rollins took the group into the studio under his direction for a recital that ...
John Coltrane: Lush Life (20-Bit Remastered)
by C. Michael Bailey
Coltrane Schmoltrane...can he play a ballad? I once read that a well-known music critic opined that John Coltrane might very well be jazz’s most boring genius. It cannot be disputed that Giant Steps and A Love Supreme, as well as, My Favorite Things were important pioneering affairs in the evolution of jazz. But a good deal ...
Miles Davis: Steamin' With the Miles Davis Quintet (Remastered)
by C. Michael Bailey
Was this the greatest small jazz group ever? What can be said for a classic that has not already been said? Damn Little, I think. But perhaps a little history is in order. Steamin' was part of two marathon recording sessions (May 11, 1956 and October 26, 1956) undertaken by the first great Miles Davis Quintet ...
Eric Dolphy: Far Cry (Remastered)
by C. Michael Bailey
Where have you gone, Eric Dolphy... During his short life, Eric Dolphy was a tireless student of music. His elaborate classical training prepared his fertile mind with all of the background necessary to become essentially the anti-Vincent Van Gogh of jazz. While certainly appreciated as a musician during his lifetime, Dolphy’s appetite for innovation (even within ...
Jack McDuff: The Concert McDuff
by Derek Taylor
Despite the drab classicism its title might imply this disc delivers a set of music that’s a distant departure from run-of-the-mill repertory .pap. Jack McDuff might’ve been given the moniker of Hardest “Working Man on the Touring Circuit” if a certain Detroit Soul Man hadn’t donned it first. He was certainly deserving given the grueling touring ...
