The Great Jazz Trio: At the Village Vanguard Again
by John Kelman
For the third and final reissue of performances culled from the Great Jazz Trio's three-night Village Vanguard run in '77--previously only available as expensive vinyl imports on the Japanese East Wind label--pianist Hank Jones, bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Tony Williams prove once again that standard material needn't imply standard delivery. The first two volumes--At the ...

by John Kelman
With Test of Time continuing its archival reissue series of '70s Inner City and East Wind label recordings previously only available as expensive Japanese imports, this is a great time to be thinking about taking out a second mortgage on the home.

One of the most potent yet short-lived versions of ...
Andrew Hill: Hommage
by John Kelman
The wealth of jazz recordings originally released only in Japan, especially during the '70s, has long been a source of angst for collectors, especially given that for many years--outside of the occasional store prepared to bring in these expensive imports--they were virtually unobtainable in North America. Of course, with the advent of the internet, it has ...
