Despite all of the obstacles and subsequent tragedy, this quintet became legendary over the years justifiably so — and developed into a role model for all progressive jazz combos to come. The combined power of Dolphy and Little; exploring overt but in retrospect not excessive dissonance and atonality — made them a target for critics but admired among the burgeoning progressive post-bop scene. With the always stunning shadings of pianist Mal Waldron, the classical-cum-daring bass playing of Richard Davis, and the colorful drumming of alchemistic Ed Blackwell, there was no stopping this group.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLive at the legendary Five Spot Café in New York City, this band set the Apple, and the entire jazz world on their collective ears. \"Fire Waltz\" demonstrates perfectly how the bonfire burns from inside the soul of these five brilliant provocateurs, as Dolphy's sour alto and Little's dour trumpet signify their new thing. Dolphy's solo is positively furious, while Blackwell nimbly switches up sounds within the steady 3\/4 beat. \"Bee Vamp\" does not buzz so much as it roars in hard bop trim. A heavy tandem line breaks and separates in the horn parts like booster rockets. Blackwell is even more amazing, and Dolphy's ribald bass clarinet set standards that still influences players of the instrument. Where \"The Prophet\" is a puckery blues, it is also open armed with minor phrasings and stretched harmonics. This is where Waldron and Davis shine in their terra cotta facades of roughly hewn accompaniments to Dolphy and Little's bold flavored statements. A shorter alternate take of \"Bee Vamp\" is newly available, shorter by two-and-a-half minutes and with a clipped introductory melody.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost hail this first volume, and a second companion album from the same sessions, as music that changed the jazz world as much as Ornette Coleman and John Coltrane's innovative excursions of the same era.

Their magic and in-the-fast-lane fluidity was best caught onstage, in a live context. One who witnessed the ascent of the group was the normally staid music journalist Ralph Gleason, who later wrote:\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eI heard this band many nights at the Blackhawk in San Francisco, for which I am grateful…they wailed. And they didn’t need to warm up…the sheer intensity of it was thrilling. Fast or slow, they made every bar sound like it had been born in an atom-splitting burst of energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe quintet was a phenomenon. At their exuberant, full-throttle best, the group simply had so much to offer: Coltrane’s raw, edgy – at times endless – tenor improvisations. Garland’s fiery, left-hand chording.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003ePhilly Joe’s exciting cymbal work and propulsive rim shots. Miles’ subdued, muted trumpet. Chambers’ adept and soulful bowed solos. Years after the quintet’s debut, jazz writers were exhilarated by their interactivity. “The intricacy of the linkage between the minds of these musicians has never been equaled in any group, in my opinion,” wrote Gleason. Prestige president Bob Weinstock lauded them “the Louis Armstrong Hot Five of the modern era.” In 1956, when Columbia Records wanted to sign Miles away from Prestige, he still had significant time on his 3-year contract. As Columbia’s George Avakian remembered, Miles brainstormed a win-win situation that made both labels happy:\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMiles got a crazy idea and it worked. He said “Tell Bob Weinstock you’d like to record me, and you won’t put the masters out until the end of my [Prestige] contract, which would be about two years hence. Meanwhile they can stockpile albums, and when Columbia comes out with my first album, you’re going to advertise it and promote it, right?” I said, “Sure we will.” “So Prestige will get the benefit of that . . .”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStockpile is exactly what Prestige did: in 1956, over two marathon sessions, Miles and his Quintet performed four album’s worth of tunes, most of them from their well-rehearsed live set-list of jazz standards, with no retakes.

The pretty songs: Miles alone with the rhythm section, Coltrane laying out as he often did on the trumpeter’s ballad features.

The results were magic. Ever since Jazz Samba, the jazz marketplace had been flooded with bossa nova albums, and the overexposure was beginning to make the music seem like a fad. Getz\/Gilberto made bossa nova a permanent part of the jazz landscape not just with its unassailable beauty, but with one of the biggest smash hit singles in jazz history - \"The Girl From Ipanema,\" a Jobim classic sung by João's wife, Astrud Gilberto, who had never performed outside of her own home prior to the recording session. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond that, most of the Jobim songs recorded here also became standards of the genre - \"Corcovado\" (which featured another vocal by Astrud), \"So Danço Samba,\" \"O Grande Amor,\" a new version of \"Desafinado.\" With such uniformly brilliant material, it's no wonder the album was such a success but, even apart from that, the musicians all play with an effortless grace that's arguably the fullest expression of bossa nova's dreamy romanticism ever brought to American listeners. Getz himself has never been more lyrical, and Gilberto and Jobim pull off the harmonic and rhythmic sophistication of the songs with a warm, relaxed charm. This music has nearly universal appeal; it's one of those rare jazz records about which the purist elite and the buying public are in total agreement.

This late 1973 session features the Count with an eight-piece band. As the title indicates, this recording is like a jam session, so all the tracks are based around the blues. After a classic Basie Piano intro the first track \"Doubling Blues\" swings like mad, but then you notice there's something different going on when the solos start. What's different is that Basie is playing Organ for most of the rest of the track and the difference is amazing. The little Piano phrases that we're all so used to hearing Basie play aren't there. Then after six minutes the piano comes back in and we finish track with Basie as we started. For more of Basie's organ playing have a listen to \"One-Nighter\" — a lovely medium tempo number on which he plays a restrained introductory solo, before Zoot Sims plays the opening tenor sax solo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe running time is just under 50 minutes, and with only five tracks on the album that tells you that the musicians were given plenty of opportunity to stretch out.

Then, at a certain point, Webster appears in the foreground, playing comparatively few notes and sticking much more to the melody than his partner. This is a good approach, since Tatum never subsides to simple comping; he just keeps soloing away under Webster's rich tenor tones until Webster stops playing, and then keeps on to the end. So, although this is billed as a group effort, it's not a group of equals or really one in which the players are cooperating with each other. Tatum might as well be playing solo, since he takes very little account of what's happening around him. \u003c\/span\u003eGranz\u003cspan\u003e makes it work by varying the volume of the different instruments in the mix, and the result is a fascinating study in contrasts. — via AllMusic\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/26tF2aw6xY6FWqm32PXhyV?utm_source=generator\u0026amp;theme=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Pablo Records, Acoustic Sounds\u003cbr\u003eSeries: The Pablo Series\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Vinyl, LP, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue, Mono, 180g\u003cbr\u003eReissued: 2025 \/ Original Release: 1958\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Swing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: Audiophile Jazz\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Analogue Productions \/ Pablo Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45232529211550,"sku":"753088164019","price":65.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/files\/AAPJ_164__186065__03132024015252-1594.jpg?v=1741690322"},{"product_id":"milt-jackson-john-coltrane-bags-trane-2024-atlantic-75-series-analogue-productions-reissue","title":"Milt Jackson \u0026 John Coltrane - Bags \u0026 Trane (2024 Atlantic 75 Series \/ Analogue Productions Reissue)","description":"\u003cp\u003eVibraphonist Milt Jackson and tenor saxophonist John Coltrane make for a surprisingly complementary team on this 1959 studio session, their only joint recording.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eAllMusic\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003enotes that with fine backup by pianist Hank Jones, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Connie Kay, \u003cem\u003eBags and Trane\u003c\/em\u003e stretch out on two of Jackson's originals (including \"The Late Late Blues\") and three standards: a romping \"Three Little Words,\" \"The Night We Called It a Day,\" and the rapid \"Be-Bop.\" The highlight of the set is the eponymous opening track, which just oozes late-night cool. — via Label\u003cbr\u003e—\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePart of the 75 historic titles hand-picked and supervised by Analogue Productions CEO Chad Kassem\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMastered from the original master tapes or best available source by top mastering engineers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCut at 45rpm and pressed on 180-gram heavyweight vinyl\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/438EDpsx9oHYfdF2IaJXef?utm_source=generator\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Atlantic, Analogue Productions\u003cbr\u003eSeries: Atlantic 75 Audiophile Series\u003cbr\u003eFormat: 2 x Vinyl, 12\", 45 RPM, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered, Stereo, 180g\u003cbr\u003eReissued: 2024 \/ Original Release: 1961\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Hard Bop\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: Audiophile Jazz\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Analogue Productions \/ Atlantic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45241092735134,"sku":"753088756375","price":90.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/files\/AAPA_063-45__181812__09122023122330-6361.jpg?v=1741944920"},{"product_id":"sarah-vaughan-crazy-and-mixed-up","title":"Sarah Vaughan – Crazy And Mixed Up (Analogue Productions Reissue)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings considers \u003cem\u003eCrazy and Mixed Up\u003c\/em\u003e to be possibly Sarah Vaughan's best album for the Pablo label.

It is one of five artists: Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, and Miles Davis. Much can be made for Ellington being the logical choice. Edward Kennedy Ellington (1899-1974) lived the entire history of jazz. He led arguably the most important big band of the swing era while also recording widely in smaller formats. But Ellington considered his music well beyond the definition of jazz. The extended compositions championed by Wynton Marsalis in the 1980s and '90s, germinated in the band book of Ellington.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe three suites included here were recorded between 1959 and 1972. \u003cem\u003eThe Queen's Suite\u003c\/em\u003e was composed shortly after the coronation of Great Britain's Elizabeth II in 1955 and contains a solo piano (supported by string bass) composition, \"Single Petal of a Rose.\" \u003cem\u003eThe Goutelas and Uwis Suites\u003c\/em\u003e are 1970s products. The latter is supplemented with \"The Kiss\" recorded at the same time as the suite.

But listening to these pieces, the thread of Ellington, that creative remnant that matured in the late 1920s is in fully flowered evidence on these relatively late career recordings. These pieces make it hard to dispute Ellington's supremacy in American jazz. — (via \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.allaboutjazz.com\/the-ellington-suites-duke-ellington-original-jazz-classics-remasters-review-by-c-michael-bailey\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eAll About Jazz\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e—\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e180-gram vinyl\u003cbr\u003eMastered by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab from the original analog tape\u003cbr\u003ePressed at Quality Record Pressings\u003cbr\u003eHoused in Stoughton Printing tip-on jacket\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" data-testid=\"embed-iframe\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/2xjUTAmc4gI76Js8T6Aj0s?utm_source=generator\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVinyl Tracklist\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Queen's Suite\u003cbr\u003eA1 Sunset And The Mocking Bird\u003cbr\u003eA2 Lightning Bugs And Frogs\u003cbr\u003eA3 Le Sucrier Velour\u003cbr\u003eA4 Northern Lights\u003cbr\u003eA5 The Single Petal Of A Rose\u003cbr\u003eA6 Apes And Peacocks\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Goutelas Suite\u003cbr\u003eB1 Fanfare\u003cbr\u003eB2 Goutelas\u003cbr\u003eB3 Get-with-Itness\u003cbr\u003eB4 Something\u003cbr\u003eB5 Having At It\u003cbr\u003eB6 Fanfare\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Uwis Suite\u003cbr\u003eB7 Uwis\u003cbr\u003eB8 Klop\u003cbr\u003eB9 Loco Madi\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Pablo Records \/ Analogue Productions\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Vinyl, LP, Album, Reissue, Stereo, Gatefold, 180g\u003cbr\u003eReissued: 2025 \/ Originally Released: 1976\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Big Band\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: Audiophile Jazz\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Analogue Productions \/ Pablo Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46409798680734,"sku":"753088018718","price":60.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/files\/AAPJ_187__192255__12182024093544-4203.jpg?v=1768636911"}],"url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/collections\/label-analogue-productions.oembed","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
