Hamsaaya, translating and shaping a selection of hymns that I grew up with in Norway into Pashto,” Gustavsen explains. “This process has been challenging and really fruitful. We have gone quite far in interpreting the lyrics in a more ‘integral’ manner, reaching into a space where I feel that Sufism and Christianity actually meet.” Simin Tander also sings, in English, verse of Persian mystic Jalal al-Din Rumi (1207-73) and US proto-Beat poet Kenneth Rexroth (1905-82).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a pure play of sounds, too, the combination of Tander’s voice and Gustavsen’s piano and discreet electronics has an emotional persuasiveness of its own, outside the limits of language.

Tander sings Norwegian traditionals and hymns in Pashto, and Beat icon Kenneth Rexroth’s stark renewal poem I Refuse and Persian sufi mystic Rumi’s writings in English, while Gustavsen gradually adds melodic embroidery, glimpsed grooves and electronics, with Jarle Vespestad’s fragile percussion the only other instrumental sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe set occasionally suggests an early Gustavsen band spliced with Susannah and the Magical Orchestra, and the mixture of the instrumentalists’ distilled reflections with Tander’s palette of hummed tones, sighing note-bends and pristine inflections represents a beguiling new Gustavsen collaboration.\" - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/music\/2016\/jan\/28\/tord-gustavsensimin-tanderjarle-vespestad-what-was-said-review-beguiling-new-song-project\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eThe Guardian\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMusicians:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTord Gustavsen, piano\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimin Tander, vocals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJarle Vespestad, drums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dZ8tbk8qtf4\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore about Tord Gustavsen:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Musically, I have the very clear feeling that my stretching out and being creative has a much better chance of happening organically, avoiding alienation and stiffness, when done in energetic connection with my roots – with the sensuality and groundedness of the hymns and the spirituals and the lullabies.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTord Gustavsen was born in Oslo in 1970 and grew up in the Norwegian countryside. He began playing the piano aged 4, and was composing and improvising before he learned to read music and perform classical pieces. He recalls: “I played in churches and local settings of different kinds, combining classical training with writing my own songs and performing gospel.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the age of 19, he began his studies at the University of Oslo and his interest in jazz started to flourish. He was accepted into the jazz department at the Conservatory of Music in Trondheim in 1993, where he formed several bands and toured all over Scandinavia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChanging Places, Gustavsen’s 2003 recording debut with his trio, was ECM’s most successful debut in a decade. Michael Tucker wrote: “Nothing is forced, or rushed: a variety of quietly memorable, essentially poetic themes unfold, every one of them caressed rather than clipped by pianist Gustavsen… this is superb stuff.” 2005 saw a second trio album, The Ground, which reached No. 1 in the Norwegian pop charts and in 2007 they completed the trilogy with Being There.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2009 Gustavsen launched a new, more flexible ensemble, which released the album Restored, Returned. The line-up included Tore Brunborg on saxophones and Kristin Asbjørnsen on vocals. This was followed in 2012 by an instrumental quartet album called The Well, which John Fordham praised in the Guardian for its “gospel playing, acres of open space, memorable melodies and a glistening delicacy of touch”.  Gustavsen says: “Taken together, the bands and projects represent my quest for a deepening of my own playing.” Gustavsen’s most recent line-up sees him on piano and electronics collaborating with Simin Tander (vocals), Jarle Vespestad (drums). – \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ecmrecords.com\/artists\/1435047213\/tord-gustavsen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eECM Records\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem description:\u003c\/strong\u003e        \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"498\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/search?q=%22Tord+Gustavsen%22\"\u003eTord Gustavsen\u003c\/a\u003e | With \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/search?q=%22Simin+Tander%22\"\u003eSimin Tander\u003c\/a\u003e \u0026amp; \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/search?q=%22Jarle+Vespestad%22\"\u003eJarle Vespestad\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat Was Said\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/collections\/label-ecm-records\"\u003eECM Records\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 × Vinyl, LP, Album, Gatefold 180 gram\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePressing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGermany\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2016\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJazz, Folk, World\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContemporary Jazz, Folk, Nordic, Female Vocals\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCatalog No:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eECM 2465 \/ 476 6532\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ECM Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41456456925342,"sku":"602547665324","price":55.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/ab67616d0000b273b292a40cfc18982e6928e324.jpg?v=1669281730"},{"product_id":"nik-bartschs-mobile-continuum","title":"Nik Bärtsch's Mobile - Continuum","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter three studio albums – Stoa (2006), Holon (2008), and Lyria (2010) plus one live-double-CD (2012) – with his electric band RONIN Swiss keyboardist\/composer Nik Bärtsch now presents a new album with his original group MOBILE (whose line-up overlaps with the current RONIN cast).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMOBILE, originally founded in 1997 (and on the new album augmented on three tracks by a string quintet), is at the source of Bärtsch’s ritualistic approach to music making.

From self-implied restriction stems freedom. Ecstasy through asceticism.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwiss pianist and composer Nik Bärtsch was born in 1971 in Zurich, where he still lives. He took piano and percussion lessons from the age of 8 and subsequently studied at the city’s Musikhochschule and university, simultaneously freelancing in diverse bands, “playing everything from fusion to free-funk, and all kinds of extroverted jazz”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs Bärtsch’s interest in composition grew and he immersed himself in the practices of John Cage and Morton Feldman, his attraction to live jazz waned: “I just didn’t see the sense of it any more, for me as an instrumentalist”.

For saxophonist and bandleader Shabaka Hutchings, that’s something he’s long understood. After years spent in the orbit of London’s jazz circuit, he examines and reimagines his influences with a dexterity that’s unique. Drawing out the vision underlying his new album, he says, “I see energy as being a form of wisdom to be passed down through the ages.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnpicking the album’s title, he continues, “When we study the music, the lives, the words of our master musicians we obtain a glimpse of that artist’s essential energy source. This is the core vitality of the individual which leads them to utilise the musical specifics of their chosen genre in a way that mirrors their inner source of power. This is an intuited wisdom that’s handed to us from the legacies of our elders.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album is a document of sessions combining Hutchings with a group of South African jazz musicians he’s long admired. His connection to the group was Mandla Mlangeni (bandleader of the Amandla Freedom Ensemble), whom he’d flown there to play with over the past few years. Recorded across just one day, the group drew on their South African lineage – heroes like Zim Ngquwana and Bheki Mseleku – to bring their own slant to the American jazz lineage being reconfigured in Hutchings’ compositions themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGoing beyond the jazz greats Hutchings cites, influences are drawn from plenty of other sources: Caribbean calypso, central African song structures and Southern African Nguni music all play a part. Bringing together those ideas with the contributions of his bandmates is, he explains, crucial to what he sees in the role of an album artist. “Even though I wrote all the music, for me, the leader of the project isn’t the person who writes all the music but the one who has a vision for how certain musical elements will be combined.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in London, moving to the Barbados from the age of six to 16, his tenor sax has become a regu-lar sight on stages around London and beyond since his return. Receiving awards from Jazz FM and the MOBOs for playing in – and often leading – groups like Sons of Kemet, The Comet Is Coming, Melt Yourself Down and Sun Ra Arkestra, he’s part of a generation whose idea of jazz is pointedly unrefined. That’s to say, Wisdom of Elders comes from an artist interested in the indefinable gaps more than fitting into boxes.” – \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.gillespetersonworldwide.com\/shabaka-and-the-ancestors-wisdom-of-elders-announced\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eGilles Peterson Worldwide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XuNID7KviuQ\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Wisdom of the Elders was recorded in Johannesburg in 2015 on one of many trips Shabaka Hutchings took there to immerse himself in the country’s rich musical heritage.

In 1969, the wider world would also get to know the complex simplicity of his compositions through his self-titled album on Columbia Masterworks. Featuring pieces that Moondog had been constructing for over a decade, the eccentric record contained minisyms (short symphonies), canons, chaconnes, jazz and ballet music.

The whirling “Minisym #1” bursts at the seams with menace and drive despite its stunted runtime, and the melodies woven throughout “Symphonique #3 (Ode to Venus)” boast a poignancy that could rival Elgar’s famed Cello Concerto in E minor, Op. 85. Jazz elements are just as prevalent and at their most in apparent in pieces like “Symphonique #6”, where clarinets croon with big band flair in apt tribute to the “King of Swing” himself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMoondog’s disdain for convention and his knack for genre fusion are intoxicating, but the album’s standout is his flawless integration of unusual percussion and odd meter, or what he called snaketime, into his distinct amalgam of modern classical elements and jazz leanings. Instruments of Moondog’s own design punctuate the record’s introductory “Theme” with peculiar rhythms before seguing into the equally serpentine snare and timpani work of “Stamping Ground”. It’s a fitting opening statement for a man who would “not die in 4\/4 time”.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eQuirks notwithstanding, this collection is arguably less \"experimental\" than some of Moondog's other works. The music is surprisingly accessible given its origins, yet its ambitiousness and creativity is none the worse for wear. The Viking may have been blind, but his vision was crystalline. Moondog is a career highlight of an unlikely hero, who amidst the clatter of a busy street corner forged a path all his own. For someone who had the stones to criticize J.S. Bach for his counterpoint “mistakes”, it must have seemed like the only way to go.” – \u003cu\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.sputnikmusic.com\/review\/68740\/Moondog-Moondog\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eSputnik Music\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Theme\" – 2:34\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Stamping Ground\" – 2:36\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Symphonique #3 (Ode to Venus)\" – 5:48\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Symphonique #6 (Good for Goodie)\" – 2:44\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Minisym #1: i - Allegro, ii - Andante Adagio, iii - Vivace\" – 5:42\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Lament 1 (Bird's Lament)\" – 1:41\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Witch of Endor: i - Dance, ii - Trio: (a) Adagio (The Prophecy), (b) - Andante (The Battle), (c) - Agitato (Saul's Death'), iii - Dance (reprise)\" – 6:27\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Symphonique #1 (Portrait of a Monarch)\" – 2:34\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8SD87q_A9cQ\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Columbia Masterworks \/ Legacy\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Vinyl, LP, Album, Reissue, White \u003cbr\u003eReissued: 2017\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Jazz, Classical\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Big Band, Contemporary\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: TAV Essential Listening\u003cbr\u003eFile under: Jazz\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Columbia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41456542449822,"sku":"MoondogMooDefaultTitle","price":45.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/Moondog.jpg?v=1646743423"},{"product_id":"various-artists-we-out-here","title":"Various Artists ‎– We Out Here","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA TAV Curator's Pick.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“A primer on London’s bright-burning young jazz scene, this new compilation brings together a collection of some of its sharpest talents.

Surveying the album’s running order, it could easily serve as a name-checking exercise for some of London’s most-tipped and hardworking bands of the past couple of years.

This music is as beautiful and dangerous as a shower of broken glass -- just when you think you've got a song figured out, this clever group of largely unsung musicians heightens the tension and takes things careening off in an unexpected direction.

There’s heavy post modal bop by J Jazz legends Kohsuke Mine and Koichi Matsukaze; samba heat from Tatsuya Nakamura, Hideo Shiraki and Seiichi Nakamura; and funky dance floor energy by Hiroshi Murakami, Ryojiro Furusawa Quartet and Shigeharu Mukai. Selected albums from which the tracks are drawn will be reissued in full as part of the acclaimed BBE Music J Jazz Masterclass Series. Released as a deluxe, heavyweight x3 vinyl set in a gatefold sleeve with obi strip and insert, the collection comes with extensive artist biographies and track information. — (via \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bbemusic.com\/product\/j-jazz-volume-3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eBBE\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"300\" height=\"380\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/6cmVa1fOvCCtIDmHk42irv\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allow=\"encrypted-media\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel: BBE – BBE652CLP\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeries: J Jazz: Deep Modern Jazz From Japan – Volume 3\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: 3 x Vinyl, LP, Compilation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCountry: UK\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReleased: 26 Feb 2021\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"BBE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41456641212574,"sku":"195497352142","price":75.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/58d1130065f2e42a9b99bdf80d85994b01140a6d.jpg?v=1646293163"},{"product_id":"mccoy-tyner-expansions","title":"McCoy Tyner – Expansions (Tone Poet series)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe soulful and elegant pianist Sonny Clark brings his A-game to My Conception, a program of all-Clark originals recorded in 1959 but not released until 1979.

The title track of the eminent saxophonist and composer’s 1964 masterpiece \u003cem\u003eSpeak No Evil \u003c\/em\u003esits in a comfortable and utterly approachable medium swing. Its primary theme is a series of long tones outlining placid, open-vista harmony. Its bridge resembles something from the notebook of Thelonious Monk – a simple staccato motif that stairsteps up and down, each phrase defined by strategic accents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYet as often happens in the music of Wayne Shorter, things are not entirely what they seem. There are layers. The notes of the melody tell one story; the chords nudge the musicians someplace else, a realm where theory lessons are of limited value and instinct matters more than intellect. To thrive in this place, the musicians have to relinquish the tricks of the jazz trade – the lightning-fast bebop runs, the killer licks they lean on to navigate chord changes. The tune, simple though it may be, comes with its own specific language – a trait it shares with many of Shorter’s pieces. Before diving into the conversation, the improviser has to discover the specific quirks of the form, its textures and temperament. How challenging is this? Even Shorter, who wrote the tune, sometimes struggles. He begins \u003cem\u003eSpeak No Evil\u003c\/em\u003e by repeating a deftly tongued single note over and over, as though chopping his way into new territory. Shorter’s first few lines are simple declarations with a smidgen of blues in them – he’s not thinking about solo hijinks, he’s just trying to hang with the slalom course that is his creation. As he steers around tight curves, his lines coalesce into a kind of spontaneous lyricism – he’s singing through the horn, linking seemingly disconnected phrases into one (!) hauntingly memorable chorus. The subsequent soloists embrace his melody-first example when improvising: trumpeter Freddie Hubbard blows wistful then tender then fierce; pianist Herbie Hancock follows spry modal lines into quiet introspective corners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis subtle “guiding” of soloists is a crucial component of \u003cem\u003eSpeak No Evil\u003c\/em\u003e, and much of Wayne Shorter’s compositional output. The last of three monumental works Shorter recorded in 1964 (the others are Night Dreamer and Juju), this album frequently turns up on shortlists of essential jazz, and one reason is Shorter’s ability to coax those around him out of their comfort zones, and into new ways of playing. Shorter’s melodies encourage musicians to stretch, and so do his vividly imagined harmonic environments – playgrounds, really. No other jazz figure found such innovative ways to balance hard bop rhythmic fire against delicately loosened (yet, crucially, still tonal) harmony. And where some contemporaries built brainy maze-like contraptions, Shorter went straight for the heart, trusting that the poignancy he embedded in his structures would stir something similar within the soloists. The moods he explores here are deep and absorbing, far from typical jazz club fare: “Dance Cadaverous” offers a macabre tour of a haunted house (or, perhaps, a haunted mind), while the keening octaves of “Infant Eyes” sketch human vulnerability with a rare sustained empathy. Incredibly, these pieces become deeper and thicker in the solo passages, as each of the players gingerly endeavors to enhance the beauty already on the page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat’s what every composer wants – the chance for the vague notions he scribbles on paper to take root, expand and blossom as music. Shorter managed that with astounding consistency over the years, creating a songbook that’s regularly described as the “mother lode” of jazz composition. That songbook has many riches – some are stone simple, some merely sound simple, and some are deceptively sophisticated and complex. It’s a vast trove of heady music, and the high-level sorcery at work within Speak No Evil is a great way to begin exploring it. – \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.bluenote.com\/spotlight\/wayne-shorter-speak-no-evil\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eBlue Note\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"570\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/27Rl7A8jXEQOkIfUKOa6ZU\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allow=\"encrypted-media\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel: Blue Note ‎– 0744042, UMe ‎– 0744042, Blue Note ‎– 84194, Blue Note ‎– ST-84194, Blue Note ‎– BST 84194\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeries: Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series –\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: Vinyl, LP, Album, Reissue, Stereo, 180g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReleased: 15 Jan 2021\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStyle: Post Bop, Modal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Blue Note Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41456650518686,"sku":"602507440428","price":45.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/fd1ac0b0373785a38f56a7ecf9d721139f70ae7c.jpg?v=1646293388"},{"product_id":"gaborszabothesorcerer","title":"Gabor Szabo ‎– The Sorcerer (Verve By Request Reissue)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 1967 set, recorded live at Boston’s Jazz Workshop, showcases virtuoso guitarist Szabó—a veteran of Chico Hamilton’s and Charles Lloyd’s bands—at the top of his game on a diverse program featuring standards (“What Is This Thing Called Love”) and pop hits (“The Beat Goes On”) as well as the original and psychedelic-tinged jam, “Space.” — (via \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/store.ververecords.com\/products\/gabor-szabo-the-sorcerer-lp-verve-by-request-series?srsltid=AfmBOoo0Xuve76pW8genCEbgrWa56lOk6ofLIfKO2etPsWsqGnTR_qhf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eLabel\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e—\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGabor Szabo's quintet featuring Jimmy Stewart was one of the guitarist's very best units.

Still active at the age of 81, Gerry is a living legend and a true testament to perseverance through music. – \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/olindorecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/inf001-the-message\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eOlindo Records\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"300\" height=\"380\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/2NJbVR29yRiGzML4yaMoV1\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allow=\"encrypted-media\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel: Olindo ‎– INF-001\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: Vinyl, LP, Album, Reissue, Remastered\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCountry: Venezuela\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReleased: 2021\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStyle: Fusion, Latin Jazz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Olindo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41456656973982,"sku":"10321","price":48.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/87fa935b9f2f4b5839675ad684014608acfd3ec0.jpg?v=1646293541"},{"product_id":"makototerashitameetsharoldlandtopology","title":"Makoto Terashita Meets Harold Land ‎– Topology","description":"\u003cp\u003eReissued by BBE Music for the first time since original release 36 years ago, Topology showcases the extraordinary compositional and playing skill of Makoto Terashita, the young pianist responsible for five of the album’s six tracks, alongside the confident and seasoned tones of Harold Land, respected US veteran sax player and former colleague of some of the leading jazz artists of the 50s, 60s and 70s including Max Roach, Clifford Brown, Gerald Wilson and Bobby Hutcherson.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy the time he came to record with Terashita in 1983, Land was in his mid-50s and had numerous album credits under his belt, including some twelve albums as leader.

Out! (Classic Vinyl Series)","description":"\u003cp\u003eBy the time Jackie McLean began recording for Blue Note in 1959, the alto saxophonist had already been a stalwart of the NYC jazz scene for nearly a decade having spent the entirety of the 1950s cutting his teeth alongside bebop legends like Miles Davis and Charles Mingus. As the early 1960s progressed, McLean’s innovative hard bop sound began to take on a harder edge and a more adventurous spirit. Inspired by the likes of Ornette Coleman and John Coltrane, McLean started to seek a greater freedom of expression in his music and began to introduce elements of the avant-garde, while never fully relinquishing a grounding in his soulful sense of swing and chordal structures. On his 1963 quintet album One Step Beyond, McLean teamed up with the unique trombonist and composer Grachan Moncur III and brought in vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson instead of a pianist, a move that gave the music a freer, more spacious feel. Inspired by this new musical direction and the tonal qualities of the band, McLean brought Moncur and Hutcherson back into the studio later that year with Larry Ridley on bass and Roy Haynes to record what would be his masterpiece of inside-out jazz: Destination… Out! On four original pieces—three by Moncur (“Love and Hate,” “Esoteric,” “Riff Raff”) and one of McLean’s (“Kahlil the Prophet”)—the quintet goes exploring, conjuring different moods and creating exciting new sounds that still sound fresh today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal. – \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/store.bluenote.com\/products\/jackie-mclean-destination-out-lp-blue-note-classic-vinyl-series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eBlue Note\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"380\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/5G3L2XFdPWxKmsFSljLjj1?utm_source=generator\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlue Note – 3876157, UMe – 3876157, Blue Note – 84165, Blue Note – ST-84165, Blue Note – BST 84165, Blue Note – 006002438761579\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeries:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlue Note Classic Vinyl Series\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormat:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVinyl, LP, Album, Reissue, Stereo, 180g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCountry:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorldwide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReleased:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e21 Jan 2022\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenre:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJazz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStyle:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHard Bop, Post Bop\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Blue Note","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41456661790878,"sku":"602438761579","price":39.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/destination-out-blue-note-classic-vinyl-series.jpg?v=1646293714"},{"product_id":"beverleycopeland-beverleycopeland","title":"Beverly Copeland - Beverly Copeland","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"300\" height=\"380\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/5BWSgGi1lFyPqVKFtboQaM\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allow=\"encrypted-media\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Return To Analog","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41456663265438,"sku":"722056181723","price":39.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/0d46579ca38553627f828477d69ec98712fde6a4.jpg?v=1646293772"},{"product_id":"kitdownesdreamlifeofdebris","title":"Kit Downes ‎– Dreamlife Of Debris","description":"\u003cp\u003eDreamlife of Debris carries forward the story begun on Kit Downes’s Obsidian, extending and developing its processes and core ideas.

Featuring a quartet with Sonny Clark on piano, Butch Warren on bass, and Billy Higgins on drums, GO! was a showcase of Gordon’s limitless creativity on hard-swinging numbers like his great tune “Cheese Cake” and a sure-footed version of “Love for Sale,” as well as his peerless artistry on ballads as evidenced on stunning takes of the standards “I Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out to Dry” and “Where Are You.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal. – \u003cu\u003eBlue Note\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"380\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/5nEJj9bjoarnzlS88NiWet\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allow=\"encrypted-media\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Blue Note Records\u003cbr\u003eSeries: Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Vinyl, LP, Album, Reissue, Stereo, 180g\u003cbr\u003eReissued: 2021 \/ Original: 1962\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Hard Bop\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: Jazz \/\/ Blue Note Records\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blue Note Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41456673030302,"sku":"602435799070","price":45.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/e536240109f4bd3d7b8ff5956abe6c5d8af0a558.jpg?v=1646294194"},{"product_id":"frankfostertheloudminority","title":"Frank Foster – The Loud Minority","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe early '70s were rife with political and racial conflicts, indicative of the pressures surrounding the scandal of Watergate and Richard Nixon, the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., and the painful continuation of the Vietnam War. As explosive as the times were, Frank Foster's The Loud Minority reflected all of those mounting tensions while remaining hopeful in a self-determining way that gave rise to the \"I'm Black and I'm Proud\" sentiment. Foster assembled a giant of a big band featuring dual instrumentation all around, including keyboards, basses, and drummers to power a horn section chock-full of the best mainstream jazz and progressive players of the day. Because funk-fusion was flowering, electrified elements of guitar and Fender Rhodes piano identify the music with the times, while vocalist Dee Dee Bridgewater, never known as a protest singer, reads powerful poetry and screams freedom at the top of her lungs, inspired by a band that knows no bounds or limits, at its core a mighty modern jazz orchestra removed from Foster's work with the Count Basie band. \"J.P's Thing\" provides the ultimate in memorable melodic invention, vibrant layers of call and response, and the kind of shout-out energy every jazz fan craves. It's a driving, funky number, very much representative of the time period, full of hope and spirit, with low-end bass clarinets firing off the rest of the horns -- a great track! \"Requiem for Dusty\" is for a late, favored German Shepherd, a sad ballad with Foster on his rarely played alto sax and Stanley Clarke's arco acoustic bass solo with drama confined to smaller spaces, almost Greek epic, elegiac for sure. New York DJ Ed Williams is paid tribute to in \"E.W. -- Beautiful People,\" a free and light Latin piece with Foster's soprano sax wailing in a darkly dramatic hue, with fine solos from acoustic pianist Harold Mabern and trumpeter Charles McGee. The title track is a composition with Bridgewater identifying icons of change and liberation from oppression, with statements that the Loud Minority is not a nonprofit, and the profit is in the victory \"as opposed to you know whooooooooo.\" A united front of furious funk and churning rhythms via Airto, Elvin Jones, Richard Pratt, and Omar Clay with the Rhodes of Jan Hammer and electric guitar of Earl Dunbar under Foster's spirited horn chart makes this one leap out of the speakers. Notable soloists include trumpeters Marvin \"Hannibal\" Peterson and Cecil Bridgewater, baritone saxophonist and bass clarinetist Kenny Rogers, and trombonist Dick Griffin. A different, less virulent edition of the Loud Minority came down the pike several years later, but this was the first and clearly the loudest, and not minor by any stretch of the imagination. – \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/album\/the-loud-minority-mw0000273701\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eAll Music\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"380\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/1qRK8uPvCHJN7BGcFxeU5s\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allow=\"encrypted-media\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel: Wewantsounds – WWSLP49\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: Vinyl, LP, Album, Reissue\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCountry: France\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReleased: 12 Jun 2021\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStyle: Soul-Jazz, Fusion, Modal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wewantsounds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41456674209950,"sku":"3700604731276","price":55.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/9cd899cafcc0467ef84c2c0946247efba6752dd6.jpg?v=1646294227"},{"product_id":"lloyd-mcneill-tori","title":"Lloyd McNeill ‎– Tori","description":"\u003cp\u003eTori is a stunning album that blends Brazilian and Latin flavours with deep Spiritual Jazz, recorded in 1978.

From his earliest performances in London’s West End and his work of the 50s and 60s — most not ably with the Don Rendell-Ian Carr Quintet — to the lower profile work of the 70s and 80s, his quite assurance and consistent performance marked him out as a highly respected figure among his peers. He is one of a handful of British artists to feature on Blue Note Records and appeared on some of the most distinctive and characterful British jazz albums by the likes of Michael Garrick, Stan Tracey, Amancio D’Silva, and Neil Ardley. Even though Rendell eschewed much of the free and electric fusion styles that came to the fore in the late 60s, in the main sticking to an acoustic sound with melody and rhythm at its heart, he similarly bridled at any notion that he was merely a ‘bopper’, a description he positively hated. In many ways, Space Walk was as much a valedictory as transitionary album for Rendell. It was his last for Denis Preston, the fabled producer behind Lansdowne Studios, described by Neil Ardley as a ‘rare Diaghilev like figure’ who steered many of the key figures of the British jazz scene into the studio when nobody else would record them. – \u003cu\u003eSounds of The Universe\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"380\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/0vGzs7X8SQkJ59d3XpJaiI\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allow=\"encrypted-media\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Decca, Lansdowne Records \u003cbr\u003eSeries: British Jazz Explosion, Lansdowne Series\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Vinyl, LP, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered, Stereo, 180g\u003cbr\u003eReissued: 2021 \/ Original: 1972\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Post Bop, Modal, British Jazz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: Jazz\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Decca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41456695738526,"sku":"602435687858","price":60.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/476de49bd51243ba3617053a6ee1af1f2d20c729.jpg?v=1646294703"},{"product_id":"thepharaohs-awakening","title":"The Pharaohs - Awakening","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"300\" height=\"380\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/045nFI4lQAoQLj7NiJC1pD\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allow=\"encrypted-media\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Luv N' Haight","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41456697147550,"sku":"699798","price":39.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/f59eb2f0a9908f39ff90430c4df4aabef6dbf033.jpg?v=1646294783"},{"product_id":"jeff-parker-forfolks","title":"Jeff Parker – Forfolks","description":"\u003cp\u003eYears ago when Jeff and I were in a band together, I always insisted that our records could not have any liner notes. I was enthralled with the idea that imparting any information beyond the music itself was heresy. As if whatever the sound didn't convey needed to be left to the listener. Somehow, I was able to hold this opinion while simultaneously voraciously consuming every record jacket, CD cover, cassette J card and whatever else I could get my hands on regarding any music that interested me. Many years and finally the making of my own album forced me to confront my cognitive dissonance and recognize context can help the audience find their place in the art that they enjoy. That context is especially necessary when the artist is as under-appreciated yet influential as Jeff Parker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen I met Jeff, he was the first adult (24 years old to my 18) whose musical taste was as broad as mine and my friends. He liked Eric Dolphy, De La Soul, ‘70s Miles, and Donny Hathaway. We first played together in the living room of my parents’ apartment. We agreed to each bring a friend to round out a group. He brought the amazing and criminally under-represented Sara P. Smith on trombone, and I brought my high school band mate Chad Taylor on drums. Chad and I were certainly outclassed that day, but nevertheless we all became fast friends. A few weeks later, at our regular jam session at the Bop Shop, I told my girlfriend (now wife) to pay attention to Jeff. \"He's going to be important,\" I said.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Chicago that Parker had moved to was ripe with young musicians eager to push at the boundaries. There weren't many venues catering to these new attempts at mixing things up, but slowly a number of great bands coalesced out of a group of like-minded friends, mixing everyone's backgrounds whether punk, disco, jazz or whatever. I clearly remember going to see New Horizons Ensemble at the Hothouse with Jeff, then a few weeks later going to the Empty Bottle to see Tortoise. Within months he'd be in both those bands. He was instrumental in forging a link between players with different styles that helped define the sound of creative music in ‘90s Chicago.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a particular thing to hear Jeff play solo. He is an unusually selfless improviser, often times laying out and highlighting the contributions of his band mates. He's never been one to play three notes where none would suffice. On this recording however he is by himself, joined only by his own ideas, looped or frozen, to flesh out the music he's creating in his mind. Hearing him craft entire sound worlds on these eight selections gives us an opportunity to really see how Parker orders sound. - \u003cu\u003eBandcamp\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"380\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/1OhNpb59I9TYU5oERTzMt6?utm_source=generator\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel: International Anthem Recording Company – IARC0052, Nonesuch – IARC0052\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: Vinyl, LP, Album\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCountry: Europe\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReleased: 10 Dec 2021\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenre: Jazz, Folk, World, \u0026amp; Country\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStyle: Acoustic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"International Anthem Recording Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41456702881950,"sku":"789993991952","price":45.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/Jeff-Parker---Forfolks.jpg?v=1646295040"},{"product_id":"cecil-taylor-the-great-paris-concert","title":"Cecil Taylor – The Great Paris Concert (2019 Reissue)","description":"\u003cp\u003eCecil Taylor has always been considered one of the most daring and radical improvisers within the jazz genre, often pushing the boundaries with avant-garde and free jazz compositions. \u003cem\u003eThe Great Paris Concert\u003c\/em\u003e is no exception Taylor's reputation.

Miller, of course, has the responsibility to make full use of both the piano’s melodic and rhythmic capacities, and he does so flawlessly throughout, as Hargrove deftly inserts his trumpet lines into the spaces Miller leaves open—often in unexpected places, heightening both tension and release. For the most part, Hargrove maintains a flat-timbred, vibrato-less tone (clearly the Miles influence), which means that the emotional depth of his playing is dependent solely on the musical ideas he germinates; no bathos or sentiment to make things easy, for either the listener or him. But on more celebratory outings such as “Con Alma” and “Invitation,” he overlays his tone with a brilliant sheen, pumping up both volume and intensity, with clarion-like ascents and upper-range testifying. His extended lines at times echo Clifford Brown’s with their fusion of dexterity and precision, as well as their recasting of classic bop patterns. Miller, meanwhile, confines his explorations primarily to his right hand, using his left as a rhythmic and chordal base on which to dance; his exploratory drive is focused and relentless.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs resolutely as these two highly disciplined improvisers hew to what are now considered conventional notions of melody, pitch, intonation, and harmony (glorying in the sometimes-forgotten art of extracting new riches from well-mined lodes), their music is never dry or pedantic.

The arrangements were meticulously prepared and confidently executed but there was more at stake than personal reputation for Mbambisa as a jazz creator in 1970s South Africa as Vusi Khumalo, writer of the album’s original liner notes, passionately extolls. Tete’s Big Sound was an affirmation of black excellence in modern arts and culture that calmly dismantled the doctrine of a regime that denied equality to black citizens on the basis of race. And while much of Mbambisa’s early work was guided by black heroes from the United States, Tete’s Big Sound articulated a voice that was both proudly South African and unmistakably his own. Reissued in collaboration with Tete Mbambisa and As-Sham\/The Sun, Mad About Records’ 2021 edition of Tete’s Big Sound marks the album’s very first international release. Using a quartet format, Mbambisa recorded a second album for As-Shams\/The Sun entitled Did You Tell Your Mother in 1978 and unreleased sessions from this period have yet to be fully issued. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn recent years, Mbambisa has released a pair of live recordings in partnership with the Music Research Centre at the University of York.

The physical copy spans just nine tracks and 47 minutes (although the digital edition extends past the hour mark), which appears slight for an artist who could easily command double the runtime. Given the wide variety of styles and moods across the compilation, as well as the potential for emotional overload, a gentle introduction might be an act of mercy. At numerous points, it can seem as if you’ve flipped over to a different record entirely. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e While the sequencing on Transmissions does fortify a greater understanding about Beverly Glenn-Copeland’s gift, the comp essentially ties a bow atop an established feel-good story.

It’s inevitable, perhaps: the coalescence around his music is a welcome unifier in an ugly age.

Jarrett, whose family roots reach back to Hungary, viewed the Budapest concert as akin to homecoming, and the context inspired much creative improvisation. Where Jarrett’s early solo concerts shaped a large arc of music over the course of an evening, the later concerts have generated suite-like structures, comprised of independent “movements”, each of them a marvel of spontaneous resourcefulness.

Byrd had begun recording for Blue Note in 1958, and over two decades evolved from a top-notch hard bop trumpeter into a pioneer of R\u0026amp;B\/Funk fusion, leading the label’s own creative direction along a similar path. Byrd had begun to introduce elements of fusion to his music with his 1969 album Fancy Free and shadowed Miles Davis early-1970s moves with experimental sessions like Electric Byrd and Ethiopian Knights. It wasn’t until Byrd hooked up with visionary producer Larry Mizell for his 1972 album Black Byrd that a new sound coalesced: funky and sultry, sophisticated yet accessible, with intricate arrangements that allowed Byrd’s trumpet to soar over top. A string of commercial successes followed, reaching a creative peak with Places and Spaces, the fourth Byrd-Mizell collaboration which was co-produced by Larry and his brother Fonce Mizell. The album featured some of the most enduring hits this legendary creative team conjured up including “Wind Parade,” “Dominoes,” and “Places and Spaces,” all of which were sampled heavily by Hip Hop artists in the decades that followed. – \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/store.bluenote.com\/products\/donald-byrd-places-and-spaces-lp-blue-note-classic-vinyl-series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eBlue Note\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"380\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/6btV6MDYhXZ2F6ZKKUfvdh?utm_source=generator\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLabel: Blue Note – 3596800, UMe – 3596800, Blue Note – 00602435968001, UMe – 00602435968001, Blue Note – BN-LA549-G\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSeries: Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat: Vinyl, LP, Album, Reissue, Stereo, 180 gram\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReleased: 19 Nov 2021\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGenre: Jazz, Funk \/ Soul\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStyle: Jazz-Funk\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Blue Note Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41456777953438,"sku":"602435968001","price":48.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/Donald-Byrd---Times-and-Space.jpg?v=1646296911"}],"url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/collections\/jazz.oembed?page=7","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
