On this 6-song set featuring 5 of Hubbard’s original compositions, his new quintet—with James Spaulding on alto saxophone and flute, Ronnie Mathews on piano, Eddie Khan on bass, and Joe Chambers on drums—moves assuredly across vast stylistic terrain. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn the stunning title track alone the band shifts from free-form exploration into a playful Calypso and back with ease. The rest of the program traverses modal jazz (“Far Away”), the blues (“Blue Frenzy”), and stunningly beautiful balladry (Chambers’ “Mirrors”) to create one of the more remarkable albums in Hubbard’s formidable Blue Note oeuvre. — via Label\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/0FeZbhuzIoD7E5ru2eDpIH?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\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Blue Note\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Vinyl, LP, Album, Reissue, Stereo\u003cbr\u003eReissued: 2015 \/ Original Release: 1964\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Hard Bop, Post Bop, Modal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: Blue Note\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blue Note Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41456491823262,"sku":"602547292506","price":38.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/files\/freddie-hubbard-breaking-point-blue-note-tone-poet_cc1ac3bf-db08-40d9-8022-eaf271b99ee7.webp?v=1741245125"},{"product_id":"marcus-strickland-twi-life-people-of-the-sun","title":"Marcus Strickland Twi-Life – People Of The Sun","description":"\u003cp\u003e“Saxophonist and composer Marcus Strickland is a seasoned veteran who helped to pioneer this new rhythm and production aesthetic in jazz with 2006's double-length Twi-Life and 2016's brilliant, Meshell Ndegeocello-produced Nihil Novi, his debut for Blue Note. Since then, Strickland has toured the globe as a headliner with Twi-Life (keyboardist Mitch Henry, bassist Kyle Miles, and drummer Charles Haynes) and as part of the Blue Note All-Stars. On many levels, People of the Sun picks up where Nihil Novi left off, but goes deeper and wider. The previous set was deeply influenced by Strickland's cultural and musical upbringing. As a child he was exposed to both Afro-Caribbean traditional and popular sounds as well as Southern rap, Motown, John Coltrane, and George Clinton's P-Funk enterprise. Those sounds and many others entwine inside groove-laden post-bop, modal, and contemporary jazz frameworks while extending and subverting the entire jazz tradition.

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":"jackie-mclean-destination-out-classic-vinyl-series","title":"Jackie McLean – Destination... 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":"eric-dolphy-out-to-lunch","title":"Eric Dolphy - Out to Lunch!

This excellent edition of The Jazz Messengers would go on to record a phenomenal run of classic albums including A Night In Tunisia, Like Someone In Love, The Freedom Rider, Roots \u0026amp; Herbs, and The Witch Doctor. — via Label\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/3xTvTulNR8Ba1uk0oDaQbs?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\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Blue Note\u003cbr\u003eSeries: Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Vinyl, LP, Album, Reissue, Stereo, 180 gram\u003cbr\u003eReissued: 2021 \/ Original Release: 1960\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Hard Bop\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: Blue Note Records\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blue Note Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41456685744286,"sku":"602438176113","price":48.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/The-BIG-bEAT.jpg?v=1646294472"},{"product_id":"stanleyturrentine-hustlintonepoetseries","title":"Stanley Turrentine - Hustlin' (Tone Poet series)","description":"\u003cp\u003eStanley Turrentine’s 1960s Blue Note output was reliably excellent, but this 1964 session featuring his thick, blues-drenched tenor saxophone backed by organist Shirley Scott, guitarist Kenny Burrell, bassist Bob Cranshaw, and drummer Otis Finch, surely ranks with his very best.

At first rooted firmly in hard bop, Hubbard began to broaden his approach on his masterwork Ready for Freddie, recorded in August 1961. “The way in which I’m most interested in going is Coltrane-like,” Hubbard told liner note writer Nat Hentoff. Hubbard had recorded with Coltrane earlier in the year on the saxophonist’s Atlantic album Olé Coltrane and Africa\/Brass for Impulse. Hubbard further explained, “I mean different ways of playing the changes so that you get a wider play of colors.” To paint with those colors Hubbard assembled a band that included three musicians from Coltrane’s orbit: bassist Art Davis, pianist McCoy Tyner, and drummer Elvin Jones. The date also marked the first collaboration between Hubbard and Wayne Shorter, a startlingly original saxophonist and Hubbard’s soon-to-be bandmate in The Jazz Messengers when the trumpeter replaced Lee Morgan in Art Blakey’s flagship band later that year on seminal Blue Note albums including Mosaic and Buhaina’s Delight. Rounding out the unique sextet on Ready for Freddie is Bernard McKinney on euphonium, a mellow-toned brass instrument that enhanced the ensemble’s tonal palette. The album opens with Hubbard’s sprightly tune “Arietis,” a nod to his astrological sign Aries, before down-shifting into the sublime ballad “Weaver of Dreams,” a stunning performance by Hubbard where both his brilliant tone and awe-inspiring technical command of his horn are on full display. Following Shorter’s jaunty tune “Marie Antoinette,” the band pays homage to Charlie Parker with Hubbard’s fleet-footed tune “Birdlike.” The album comes to a close with the expansive and explosive “Crisis,” a Hubbard original that sought to capture some of the simmering tensions of the early-1960s. — (via Label)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/1WW55eOxlZCvPWJDYmhZXD?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\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\"\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 – 3596791, UMe – 3596791, Blue Note – 84085, Blue Note – ST-84085, Blue Note – BST 84085, UMe – 00602435967912\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, Stereo, Reissue, 180 Gram\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\u003e \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\u003e22 Oct 2021\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\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":41456700260510,"sku":"602435967912","price":45.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/unilp96791__97041-1630098724.jpg?v=1646294923"},{"product_id":"kennydorhamtrompetatoccatabluenote80","title":"Kenny Dorham ‎– Trompeta Toccata | Blue Note 80","description":"\u003cp\u003eKenny Dorham’s 1964 album Trompeta Toccata would be the final album that the great underrated trumpeter and composer would record as a leader, and it stands as a fitting testament to his prodigious talent.

Turrentine recorded in a wide variety of settings, but was best-known for his Blue Note soul-jazz jams of the '60s, and also underwent a popular fusion makeover in the early '70s. Born in Pittsburgh on April 5, 1934, Turrentine began his career playing with various blues and R\u0026amp;B bands, with a strong influence from Illinois Jacquet. He played in Lowell Fulson's band with Ray Charles from 1950-1951, and in 1953, he replaced John Coltrane in Earl Bostic's early R\u0026amp;B\/jazz band. After a mid-'50s stint in the military, Turrentine joined Max Roach's band and subsequently met organist Shirley Scott, whom he married in 1960 and would record with frequently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat happens when you combine him with Les McCann’s soulful and funky piano? You end up with one of both men's best albums, an album considered to be one of the foundational sessions of soul jazz. Turrentine and McCann are joined by bassist Herbie Lewis (a member of McCann’s group at the time) and drummer Otis “Candy” Finch. Stand out tracks include “Smile, Stacey,” the deep blue groove of “Soft Pedal Blues” and the in-the-pocket soul of “Light Blue.” — via Label\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/6wRyPYTtDhRpC1O4ICM1Lt?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: Blue Note\u003cbr\u003eSeries: Blue Note Tone Poet Series\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Vinyl, LP, Album, Reissue, Stereo, Gatefold, 180g\u003cbr\u003eReissued: 2020 \/ Original Release: 1962\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Hard Bop\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: Blue Note Tone Poet Series\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blue Note Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41456722772126,"sku":"602508622526","price":70.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/files\/0602508622526_1000x675copy.jpg?v=1707229476"},{"product_id":"tommischyussefdayeswhatkindamusic","title":"Tom Misch \u0026 Yussef Dayes ‎– What Kinda Music","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e— The Analog Vault \/\/ Essential Listening —\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eThis unexpected collaborative project between London musicians - singer-songwriter Tom Misch and progressive jazz drummer Yussef Dayes - asked an intriguing question with its album title \u003ci\u003eWhat Kinda Music\u003c\/i\u003e – is it electronica?

He's also the star child of nū-jazz, and a master of the Instagram pick-up jazz guitar sound. Yussef Dayes, for his part, is best known as the man behind the drums of duo Yussef Kamaal, as well as collaborations with Alpha Mist, Mansur Brown, et. al.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThough not the most likely of bedfellows, it is immediately apparent this pairing have found a comfortable gestalt in their music: Take Misch’s pretty-boy melodies and clean, almost plastic Niles Rodgers guitar production, and throw them over Dayes’ psychedelic hip-hop tinged jazz beats. Dayes’ wild energy contrasts Misch’s chilled-out vibes perfectly. The result is a warm, vibe-y album for hype beasts and chops aficionados alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBasically, \u003cem\u003eWhat Kinda Music\u003c\/em\u003e bridges the gap between these two musicians. For fans of Misch’s tunes, there is some tasty guitar net-soul riffage and some crooning R\u0026amp;B bops. Fans of Dayes’ ever-evolving groove-based instrumentals get their fix too, with a barrage of drum-led jams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndeed, the drums are mixed front and centre, as much a melody instrument as the voice or the guitar — sometimes more so. The production is what really makes this album special — warm, compressed, and very saturated. Big synth basses carpet the bottom end, while Misch’s guitar and voice occupy the middle of the mix as wide, woozy synths and analog delay effects fill the spaces in between. There are even a few moments of choice string arrangement, reminding listeners that on top of everything else, Misch is also an accomplished violinist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe majority of the vibe comes from the reverb \/ delay ambiances on everything from the vocals to the kick and the warbling white noise flutters filling up the sonic pallet. Good use of post- production makes what would otherwise sound like a jam session level up to be a fully realized project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat Kinda Music\u003c\/em\u003e also features an unlikely collaboration with acclaimed MC Freddie Gibbs. Sonically, it fits perfectly: the Misch \/ Dayes project is not far off from Gibbs’ main production collaborator Madlib.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's refreshing to see legendary jazz label Blue Note take an interest in the new generation of UK musicians. Historically known for producing a score of influential hard bop albums in the 1950s and 1960s, in recent years their output has been focused on established American instrumentalists (trumpet player Ambrose Akinmusire, drummer Chris Dave, and bassist Derrick Hodge, among others).

Although the pair may be from musically different backgrounds, the project shows that they jell well and highlight their broad musicality as they tap into each another’s’ energy. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the get-go, you realise that \u003cem\u003eWhat Kinda Music\u003c\/em\u003e is a deviation from Misch’s previous style. Drawing on the vigour of live performance and jams, the record isn’t overproduced and helps to paint an encompassing musical atmosphere. The title-track immediately immerses us with psychedelic vibes, powered by deep thundering synths, Misch’s high howling vocals, lush swooping strings and Dayes’ punchy punctuated drums. ‘Festival’ encapsulates the free, swirling spirit of these summer gatherings. As painful as it is casting our minds on these beautiful settings in the time of Corona, the nostalgia of this bliss is intoxicating. This wistful dreamscape continues through the cool West Coast hip-hop vibes of ‘Nightrider’, where we see superb musicianship as we hear Dayes and Tom Driessler’s bass rhythmically dance, Misch’s vocal harmonies burst through in the chorus while Freddie Gibbs’ free-flowing verse flawlessly matches the scene. Rounding off the first half, we see brilliant sonic shapes with ‘Tidal Wave’ through the juxtaposition of Dayes’ dramatic drumming and Misch’s silky vocals, whilst the mighty Aretha Franklin’s vocals are channelled for ‘The Real’ to create the summery jazz-hop feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second, funkier, half of the album beings with ‘Lift Off’, a masterclass of musical prowess. The song teems with energy and vibrance, styled by a stunning conversation between Rocco Palladino’s pulsating bass and Misch’s replying guitar, whilst Dayes’ inspired drumming glues the two together. ‘I Did It For You’ and ‘Last 100’ are characteristic of that “classic Tom Misch” sound - bright and airy. ‘Kyiv’ sees the musicians really stretch their legs, showcasing class instrumental passages from both players and helping to reinforce that Dayes is one of the best fucking drummers on the scene. The trance-like ‘Julie Mangos’ builds you to the final song ‘Storm Before The Calm’, which is the perfect outro to the album with the staunch beat of Dayes’ drumming allowing Kaidi Akinnibi’s powerful sax playing to let loose and riff us out. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAtmospheric and immersive, \u003cem\u003eWhat Kinda Music\u003c\/em\u003e exhibits the collaborative force of the contemporary music scene. It’s emotive and contemplative approach is enchanting, and it shows how Tom Misch and Yussef Dayes, who come from different musical settings, are able to bring out the best of each other. Spanning styles and sounds, both musicians stretch each other in different ways to create an impressive and profound work. — (via \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.jazzrevelations.com\/post\/what-kinda-music-tom-misch-yussef-dayes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eJazz Revelations\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/6iOCv7oGL5sGi2aVnRz2BI?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\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Blue Note, Beyond The Groove\u003cbr\u003eFormat: 2 x Vinyl, LP, Album, 180 Gram, Gatefold\u003cbr\u003eCountry: Worldwide\u003cbr\u003eReleased: 2020\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Jazz, Electronic, Hip Hop\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Broken Beat, Modern \/ Future Jazz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: TAV Essential Listening\u003cbr\u003eFile under: Modern \/ Future Jazz\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blue Note Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41456732733598,"sku":"842812123108","price":55.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/files\/WhatKindaMusic_TomMischandYussefDayes.webp?v=1729071572"},{"product_id":"va-bluenotereimagined2020","title":"VA - Blue Note Re:Imagined 2020","description":"\u003cp\u003eLegendary labels Decca Records and Blue Note have joined forces for \u003cem\u003eBlue Note Re:imagined\u003c\/em\u003e; a brand-new collection of 16 classic Blue Note tracks, reworked and newly recorded by a selection of the UK scene’s most exciting young talents.

The finest of the American jazz saxophonist’s earlier works is indubitably his 1964 Blue Note debut, Night Dreamer.

The buoyant “Black Nile” has a flow akin to a river with plenty of splashes from Elvin’s drums bash, “Charcoal Blues” grooves as a smooth, bluesy swinger, and the pensive end piece “Armageddon” catches a groove that the rhythm team pushes ahead with McCoy’s sparkling runs, Elvin’s muscular and tumbling drums, and Reggie’s solid pulse.

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"},{"product_id":"lonniesmithallinmymindtonepoetseries","title":"Lonnie Smith ‎– All In My Mind (Tone Poet series)","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter his 2016 return to Blue Note where he first made a name for himself with a run of classic soul jazz albums between 1968-70, Hammond B-3 organ legend Dr. Lonnie Smith recorded \u003cem\u003eAll In My Mind\u003c\/em\u003e during his 75th birthday celebration in July 2017 at the Jazz Standard in New York City with guitarist Jonathan Kreisberg and drummer Jonathan Blake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album gets its first-time vinyl release with this 5-song Tone Poet Edition which features spirited interpretations of songs by Wayne Shorter (“Juju”), Freddie Hubbard (“Up Jumped Spring”) Paul Simon (“50 Ways to Leave Your Lover”), and more. — (via \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/store.bluenote.com\/products\/dr-lonnie-smith-all-in-my-mind-lp-tone-poet-series?srsltid=AfmBOooj20GVvAP_5miVeeOHg2w69YAkfMSGJoN378bgAJhiaNE4z3IA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eLabe\u003c\/a\u003el)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecorded during his 75th birthday celebration at the Jazz Standard in New York City, \u003cem\u003eAll in My Mind\u003c\/em\u003e follows B-3 boss Dr. Lonnie Smith's acclaimed 2016 release, \u003cem\u003eEvolution\u003c\/em\u003e, which marked his return to Blue Note Records.

It opens with a cooking read of Wayne Shorter's classic modal composition \"Juju.\" Smith's Hammond B-3 goes deep beneath the surface structure of the tune to reveal the subtle colors and tones inherent in the original melody, Kreisberg highlights them with slippery grace and shifting arpeggios, and Blake drives the strident yet mysterious groove with tasty breaks and fills. Smith's labyrinthine solo builds on the changes to balance groove and keyboard pyrotechnics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother highlight is the nine-and-a-half-minute version of Paul Simon's \"50 Ways to Leave Your Lover.\" Commencing as a slow burn with Kreisberg stating the melody and guest Dyson relying heavily on funky, syncopated breaks, Smith's entry offers subdued tonal shades in the changes until the refrain, when the trio shifts gears toward improvisation, carrying the tune into previously unknown regions. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmith's trio displays its elegant chops and close camaraderie on a sultry, lyrical read of Tadd Dameron's classic \"On a Misty Night.\" They listen closely, while implicitly knowing how to utilize harmonic and dynamic understatement for maximum expression. Smith includes a pair of his own compositions here as well. First is the long, moody, and exploratory \"Alhambra,\" with his keyboard strings and muted trumpet sounds, eventually evolving into a free-for-all jam with everyone digging deep. He also revisits \"All in My Mind,\" from 1977's Funk Reaction. The latter is a more retiring (but no less satisfying) version, with Olatuja's gorgeous voice as its focal point. The set closes with a soul-jazz cum post-bop read of Freddie Hubbard's sprightly \"Up Jumped Spring\" that finds the great organ master allowing his playful side to come to the fore, gliding through the changes to set the pace for his sidemen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile this set doesn't possess the raw fireworks of his recordings on Palmetto such as Boogaloo to Beck, Too Damn Hot, and Spiral, it more than compensates in taste and outstanding musicianship, making for a thoroughly enjoyable listen from end to end. — (via Thom Jurek \/\/ \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/album\/all-in-my-mind-mw0003131644\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eAllMusic\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"300\" height=\"380\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/0anjMU3ensntiJOq3SCjij\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allow=\"encrypted-media\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Blue Note Records\u003cbr\u003eSeries:  Blue Note Tone Poet Series\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Vinyl, LP, Album, Reissue, Stereo, 180g, Gatefold\u003cbr\u003eReleased: 2020\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Contemporary Jazz, Post Bop, Organ\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: Blue Note Records\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blue Note Records (Tone Poet series)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41456790077598,"sku":"724448v1","price":70.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/2622b5c41d6262374547339c1b6434e698111e64.jpg?v=1646297320"},{"product_id":"reuben-wilson-love-bug","title":"Reuben Wilson – Love Bug (Classic Vinyl Series)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFollowing his 1968 Blue Note debut On Broadway, Hammond B3 organist Reuben Wilson returned to Rudy Van Gelder’s studio in March 1969 to record the follow-up \u003cem\u003eLove Bug\u003c\/em\u003e.

Working with an impressive backing band of guitarist Grant Green, trumpeter Lee Morgan, tenor saxophonist George Coleman, and drummer Idris Muhammad, Wilson leads his band through a number of soul-jazz workouts, none of which ever really catch fire. Instead of working tight, funky grooves, the quintet tends to spiral off into vaguely experimental territory, which loses sight of the spirit of the song. Still, Green has a number of shining moments, as does Morgan and Coleman -- in fact, they tend to overshadow Wilson, who nevertheless turns in a fine performance.

But it wasn’t until they brought Ornette Coleman and Don Cherry to Blue Note in 1965 that they dove headfirst into the avant-garde. Coleman and Cherry had of course made history together years prior as half of Coleman’s revolutionary quartet that put the NYC jazz world on notice that there was a new thing in town with their 1959 arrival at the Five Spot Café. Though Cherry co-led the album The Avant-Garde with John Coltrane in 1961, his career as a bandleader began with his bold Blue Note debut Complete Communion recorded in December 1965 (Coleman had documented his new trio live at the Golden Circle in Stockholm for his own Blue Note debut just weeks before). Cherry returned to Van Gelder Studio twice in the Fall of 1966, first to record his expansive Symphony for Improvisers and again for the fiery Where Is Brooklyn? The latter was a highly interactive quartet session featuring Pharoah Sanders on tenor saxophone and piccolo, Henry Grimes on bass, and Ed Blackwell on drums that presented five Cherry originals including “Awake Nu” and “The Thing.”\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\/don-cherry-where-is-brooklyn-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\/5MfuoMr4VQqgrjQcQiPc2z?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 – 3876171, UMe – 3876171, Blue Note – BST 84311, Blue Note – BNST 84311, Blue Note – 00602438761715\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\u003eFree Jazz\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":41456934846622,"sku":"602438761715","price":39.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/R-2390999-1327279119.jpg?v=1646299647"},{"product_id":"stanley-turrentine-rough-n-tumble-tone-poet-series","title":"Stanley Turrentine – Rough 'N Tumble | Tone Poet Series","description":"\u003cp\u003eStanley Turrentine’s 1966 soul jazz classic Rough ‘N Tumble finds a deep and bluesy groove that doesn’t let up from start to finish.

It is a confab of equals. Though in her notes the saxophonist remarks that \"Falling\" is an active reflection of her life going to pieces, as the virus spread and she and her husband separated, the mood of the piece and its fervent interpretation by producer, co-writer \u0026amp; guitarist Lage Lund, ever enthused pianist Sullivan Fortner, drummer Kush Abadey—whose Jack DeJohnette reflexive impressionism gives \u003cem\u003e12 Stars\u003c\/em\u003e its enduring, quiet power —and longtime consigliere bassist Pablo Menares prove the piece to be just the opposite. From Menares' firm assertions that set the piece into motion, \"Falling\" is a conference of integrity over adversity and serves as a most fitting prelude to all that follows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAldana is an emotionally arresting player who balances vulnerability and victory; her horn at once looses whispery confessions and purposeful statements of strength and resolve. An open conversation where all have equal pull and sway, \"The Bluest Eye\" (named after a novel by Toni Morrison) exhibits an understated undertow which evolves more by feel than by any given chart, holding the quintet steady for them each to tell their story (as well as that of Morrison's antagonist) of witnessing, with open heart and mind, the interior light which overcome all darkness. \"Emilia\" is a dream story told by Aldana through diaphanous clouds of Lund's echoey guitar clusters and Fortner's clouds of Rhodes; a lullaby for a dream child.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMuch like her bold, declarative \"Frida\" from Artemis (Blue Note, 2020), \"Intuition\" finds Aldana centerstage, finding all she needs within herself and lighting the fuse on a series of wide ranging, confident lyrical statements. Thoughtful of her conversant circle of peers, the forum is open, making jaunty, full-bodied tracks like \"The Fool\" and \"Los Ojos de Chile\" a friendly, familial parlay. Closing on the gravity-defying title composition, Fortner's emphatic touch on the Rhodes provides Aldana's sincere, reflective tone a nest from which to fly into new regions she and we will experience as her vision comes into fuller focus. Let the top discs of 2022 begin here. - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.allaboutjazz.com\/12-steps-melissa-aldana-blue-note-records\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eAll About Jazz\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMelissa Aldana's nuanced and superbly executed 2022 album \u003cem\u003e12 Stars\u003c\/em\u003e feels like a new beginning for the tenor saxophonist. Though not her first album, 12 Stars is the Chilean-born improviser's debut for the storied Blue Note label. The 2013 Thelonious Monk International Jazz Saxophone Competition winner, Aldana has spent much of the last five years earning accolades, including picking up her first Grammy nomination for her 2019 album Visions. Named after the 12 stars pictured on the crown of the tarot card figure The Empress, \u003cem\u003e12 Stars\u003c\/em\u003e builds upon that success, showcasing Aldana's growing maturity as both a soloist and bandleader.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHelping Aldana achieve this balance is Norwegian guitarist Lage Lund, who produced the album and collaborated with her on the songs and arrangements. Joining them is pianist Sullivan Fortner (who has distinguished himself as a member of vocalist Cecile McLorin Salvant's Grammy-winning albums), drummer Kush Abadey, and longtime Aldana bandmate bassist Pablo Menares. Aldana and Lund are a magical team, often playing melodies in tandem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the opening \"Falling,\" Lund bathes Aldana in sparkling, otherworldly drones, her warm shooting-star sax refracting off the hull of his alien spaceship guitar. More evocative feelings arise throughout \u003cem\u003e12 Stars\u003c\/em\u003e, as on \"Emilia,\" in which Aldana dreams of her future daughter against Fortner's warm Rhodes keyboard bed. Equally hypnotic is \"The Bluest Eye,\" a rippling, modal-sounding piece inspired by the Toni Morrison novel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's a warm, cocoon-like quality to Aldana's compositions as she envelops herself and her audience in shimmering tonal cascades. She's also mutable, with a tone that's water pure one minute before rising to a high-pitched squelch the next, à la Wayne Shorter, as on the dreamy, tango-inflected \"Intuition.\" Even on the vibrantly propulsive \"Los Ojos de Chile,\" an anthem inspired by the 2019 political turmoil and protests in Chile, Aldana plays with an easy warmth that belies just how athletic and harmonically adept her improvisational skills are. With 12 Stars, Aldana puts all of her colorful sonic and emotional textures on display. - Matt Collar \/\/ \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/album\/12-stars-mw0003652079\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eAllMusic\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"380\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/3DFIvcm119lRoa5NxyiBDC?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\" height=\"131\" style=\"width: 82.5537%;\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width: 34.8398%;\"\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width: 65.1614%;\"\u003e\n\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLabel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlue Note\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVinyl, LP, Album, Stereo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReleased:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2022\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGenre:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJazz, Contemporary Jazz\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":41686417080478,"sku":"602438827817","price":45.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/12-Stars.jpg?v=1652787198"},{"product_id":"joel-ross-the-parable-of-the-poet","title":"Joel Ross – The Parable Of The Poet","description":"\u003cp\u003eAcclaimed vibraphonist and composer Joel Ross returns with his 3rd Blue Note album, The Parable of the Poet, an expansive album-length suite comprised of 7 evocative movements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe suite is performed by a dynamic 8-piece ensemble with Ross joined by Immanuel Wilkins on alto saxophone, Maria Grand on tenor saxophone, Marquis Hill on trumpet, Kalia Vandever on trombone, Sean Mason on piano, Rick Rosato on bass \u0026amp; Craig Weinrib on drums. - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/store.bluenote.com\/products\/joel-ross-the-parable-of-the-poet\"\u003eBlue Note\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"380\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/2rQub6XmlQJb8bGYHhjBsD?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\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100.053%;\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width: 26.0968%;\"\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width: 73.8478%;\"\u003e\n\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLabel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlue Note – 3891819\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 x Vinyl, LP, Album, Gatefold\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEurope\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReleased:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15 Apr 2022\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGenre:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJazz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStyle:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePost Bop\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Blue Note","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41742388232350,"sku":"602438918195","price":48.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/R-23301974-1653214688-4680.jpg?v=1654761553"},{"product_id":"brother-jack-mcduff-moon-rappin-classic-vinyl-series","title":"Brother Jack McDuff – Moon Rappin' (Classic Vinyl Series)","description":"\u003cp\u003eBrother Jack McDuff was already a well-established and prolific organist who led his own soul jazz bands throughout the 1960s when he came to Blue Note Records in 1969.

Other notable members of the ensemble include trumpeter Carmell Jones, trombonist Lou Blackburn, alto saxophonist Bud Shank, tenor saxophonist Harold Land, pianist Jack Wilson, and drummer Mel Lewis. - \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/store.bluenote.com\/products\/gerald-wilson-moment-of-truth-blue-note-tone-poet-series-lp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eBlue Note\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"380\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/3XUNtYxmNFeuPupygikFAL?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\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width: 49.9368%;\"\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width: 49.9368%;\"\u003e\n\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLabel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePacific Jazz – B0033487-01, Blue Note – B0033487-01, Pacific Jazz – ST-61, Blue Note – ST-61, Pacific Jazz – Stereo-61, Blue Note – Stereo-61\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeries:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlue Note Tone Poet Series\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVinyl, LP, Album, Reissue, Stereo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReleased:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3rd June 2022\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGenre:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJazz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStyle:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBig Band, Soul-Jazz\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":41781140783262,"sku":"602435732060","price":65.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/Blue-Note_04d790e1-100d-4d4e-b296-cf136fd5e864.jpg?v=1655368541"},{"product_id":"george-braith-extension-classic-vinyl-series","title":"George Braith – Extension | Classic Vinyl Series","description":"\u003cp\u003eBetween September 1963 and March 1964, the singular New York City-born saxophonist George Braith recorded three Blue Note sessions that introduced an utterly unique creative viewpoint. Perhaps best-known for his predilection for performing multiple instruments at the same time, à la Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Braith eventually invented a double horn he named the Braithophone. On Extension, the last of his Blue Note albums and arguably his finest, Braith can be heard on tenor, soprano, and alto saxophone, joined by Grant Green on guitar, Billy Gardner on organ, and Clarence Johnston on drums. The album was rooted in soul jazz, but Braith’s adventurous spirit led the music into unexpected realms on distinctive originals like “Nut City,” “Out Here,” and “Extension.” The album offered more reflective moments as well, such as on the expressive ballad “Ethlyn’s Love,” dedicated to his mother, and the laid-back “Sweetville.” Braith’s personality shines through on the closer, a madcap romp through Cole Porter’s “Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye.” - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/store.bluenote.com\/products\/george-braith-extension-lp-blue-note-classic-vinyl-series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eBlue Note\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"380\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/6efjgVUOZemTEfR7Iqcg89?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\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eLabel:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eBlue Note\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– 4535294,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eUMe\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– 4535294,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBlue Note\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– 84171,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBlue Note\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– BST 84171,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBlue Note\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– ST-84171,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBlue Note\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– 00602445352944,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eUMe\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– 00602445352944\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSeries:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eBlue Note Classic Vinyl Series\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"format_item_3SAJn\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eVinyl,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eLP, Album, Reissue, Stereo,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e180 g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eCountry:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eWorldwide\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eReleased:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003ctime datetime=\"2022-07-15\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e15 Jul 2022\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/time\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eGenre:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eJazz\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eStyle:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003ePost Bop,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSoul-Jazz\u003c\/span\u003e\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":41894883885214,"sku":"11157","price":45.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/1unilp35294__21884.jpg?v=1658748073"},{"product_id":"ronnie-foster-reboot","title":"Ronnie Foster – Reboot","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 2022 return of Ronnie Foster to Blue Note Records is an event of synergistic quintessence, completeness, and cool. The organ great’s dynamic new album, Reboot, arrives upon the 50th anniversary of his 1972 Blue Note debut Two Headed Freap, which featured his memorable tune “Mystic Brew” that would later reach the ears of hip-hop fans around the world when A Tribe Called Quest sampled the track as the foundation of “Electric Relaxation” on their 1994 album Midnight Marauders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nine-song Reboot marks a fresh start for Foster, who has whipped up an omnidirectional brew of Hammond Organ Groove that, yes, pays homage to the past but more often reflects Ronnie’s restlessness for ushering in the new. Mightily hoisting the Blue Note organ torch, Foster gives thanks to the musical osmosis that was poured into him by all of the greats that preceded him. In the album’s liner notes, Ronnie makes sure to pay homage to one very important person in his life who passed away in 2021: “This album is dedicated to the memory of my brother, friend, Buffalo Homie and hero Dr. Lonnie Smith, who was one of the best in the world on the Hammond B3 organ.” - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/store.bluenote.com\/products\/ronnie-foster-reboot\"\u003eBlue Note\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"380\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/7fIQ7XeqTD0FqsvyTohyrY?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\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 69.4614%; border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width: 31.4607%; border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eLabel:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 68.5393%; border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eBlue Note\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– B003521001\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width: 31.4607%; border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 68.5393%; border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"format_item_3SAJn\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eVinyl,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eLP, Album, Stereo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width: 31.4607%; border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eCountry:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 68.5393%; border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eUS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width: 31.4607%; border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eReleased:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 68.5393%; border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003ctime datetime=\"2022-07-15\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e15 Jul 2022\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/time\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width: 31.4607%; border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eGenre:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 68.5393%; border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eJazz\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Blue Note","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41907629850782,"sku":"602445499809","price":45.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/R-23906579-1658002516-8588.jpg?v=1658995656"},{"product_id":"various-blue-note-reimagined-ii","title":"Various – Blue Note Re:imagined II","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBlue Note Re:imagined\u003c\/em\u003e returns in 2022 with a new compilation featuring fresh takes on music from the illustrious Blue Note Records vaults recorded by a heavyweight line-up of the UK jazz, soul, and R\u0026amp;B scene’s most hotly-tipped rising stars.

The second is the striking music, which is drawn from four different sessions recorded in 1956 with the great guitarist featured in a variety of different configurations. The opener, a brisk romp through Harold Arlen’s “Get Happy,” features Tommy Flanagan on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, Kenny Clarke on drums, and Candido on congas. That leads into a stunning solo guitar rendition of the Gershwin tune “But Not For Me,” which is followed by the live track “Mexico City,” a piece by Kenny Dorham and recorded with the trumpeter’s sextet at the Café Bohemia. Burrell and Flanagan are joined by bassist Oscar Pettiford and drummer Shadow Wilson on the Basie band number “Moten Swing” and Burrell’s “Cheeta,” and tenor saxophonist Frank Foster makes it a quintet for remainder of Side 2 on Pettiford’s “Now See How You Are,” Burrell’s “Phinupi,” and the Burton Lane standard “How About You.” - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/store.bluenote.com\/collections\/tone-poet-series\/products\/kenny-burrell-kenny-burrell-lp-blue-note-tone-poet-series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eBlue Note\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"380\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/7fojK26IFekgUBnmPD0s7l?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\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100.051%;\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width: 49.8715%;\"\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width: 49.8715%;\"\u003e\n\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLabel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlue Note – B0033486-01, Blue Note – 1543, Blue Note – BLP 1543\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeries \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlue Note Tone Poet Series\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVinyl, LP, Album, Reissue, Mono, 180 g, Gatefold\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWorldwide\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReleased\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7 Oct 2022\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGenre \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJazz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStyle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHard Bop\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blue Note","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42178506490014,"sku":"602435731971","price":70.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/192249-kenny-burrell-kenny-burrell.jpg?v=1666247608"},{"product_id":"stanley-turrentine-featuring-shirley-scott-common-touch-classic-vinyl-series","title":"Stanley Turrentine Featuring Shirley Scott – Common Touch | Classic Vinyl  Series","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe great tenor saxophonist Stanley Turrentine imbued every single note he played with a depth of feeling and soulfulness that still reverberates today.

(Blue Note Tone Poet Series)","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of Bobby Hutcherson's best albums, Stick-Up! was also his first official release not to feature drummer Joe Chambers, who was a major part of Hutcherson's outside leanings. Instead, Stick-Up! stakes out the middle ground between hard bop and the avant-garde, offering a set of structured yet advanced modal pieces indebted particularly to Coltrane. Hutcherson's originals (five out of six selections) show him at the top of his game as a composer, and the ensemble's playing is tight and focused throughout, but what really lifts Stick-Up! to the top tier of Hutcherson's discography is its crackling energy. It's quite possibly the hardest-swinging album he ever cut, and part of the credit has to go to the stellar rhythm section of McCoy Tyner on piano, Herbie Lewis on bass, and Billy Higgins on drums, who lay down a driving, pulsating foundation that really pushes Hutcherson and tenorist Joe Henderson.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTyner in particular is a standout, charging relentlessly forward on the intricate \"8\/4 Beat\" and \"Black Circle\" and lending a Coltrane-ish flavor to the spiritually searching \"Verse.\" The lone non-Hutcherson piece, Ornette Coleman's sometimes overlooked \"Una Muy Bonita,\" is given a fantastic, rollicking treatment as catchy as it is progressive, proving that the piece is a classic regardless of whether it's interpreted freely or with a steady groove and tonal center. Hutcherson's originals are uniformly strong and memorable enough to sit very well next to it, and that -- coupled with the energetic performances -- ranks Stick-Up! with Dialogue and Components as the finest work of Hutcherson's tenure at Blue Note. - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/album\/stick-up%21-mw0000028035\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eAllmusic\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"380\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/66CAtljsOdCUxSiEtiNy9h?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\u003ctable border=\"1\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100.051%;\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width: 49.8715%;\"\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width: 49.8715%;\"\u003e\n\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLabel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlue Note – B0033489-01, Blue Note – BST 84244\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeries\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlue Note Tone Poet Series\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVinyl, LP, Album, Reissue, Stereo, Gatefold, 180 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWorldwide\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReleased\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 Nov 2022\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGenre\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJazz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStyle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePost Bop, Modal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Blue Note Records (Tone Poet series)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42262707372190,"sku":"602435732169","price":70.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/BobbyHutcherson-Stick-Up.jpg?v=1669269961"},{"product_id":"grachan-moncur-iii-evolution","title":"Grachan Moncur III – Evolution (Classic Vinyl series)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThough he first appeared on Herbie Hancock’s 1963 album My Point of View, trombonist Grachan Moncur III’s first true Blue Note introduction would come on two albums by saxophonist Jackie McLean that were recorded later that year: \u003cem\u003eOne Step Beyond \u003c\/em\u003eand \u003cem\u003eDestination… Out!\u003c\/em\u003e These two great inside-out sessions presented a spacious new sound that moved fluidly between avant-garde and post-bop territory with McLean featuring Moncur’s singular compositions. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeveral months later Moncur returned to Van Gelder Studio to record his own remarkable debut album \u003cem\u003eEvolution\u003c\/em\u003e, which remains a marvel of the Blue Note catalog.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the date the trombonist assembled an exceptional ensemble that returned several musicians including McLean, vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson, and drummer Tony Williams, with the addition of Lee Morgan on trumpet and Bob Cranshaw on bass.

The four originals are all extended, multi-sectioned works (the shortest is around eight minutes), all quite ambitious, and all terrifically moody; much of the album sounds sinister and foreboding, and even the brighter material has a twisted, surreal fun-house undercurrent. Part of that is due to the accuracy with which the musicians interpret Moncur's vision. Hutcherson provides his trademark floating chordal accompaniment, which is crucial to the overall texture; what's more, the album features some of McLean's weirdest playing ever, and some of Morgan's most impressively advanced, as he makes the most of a situation he longed to be in more often.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf the pieces, \"Monk in Wonderland\" is the most memorable; its whimsical, angular theme is offset by Hutcherson's mysterious vibes, which create a trippy effect in keeping with the title. \"Air Raid\" is alternately ominous and terrifyingly frantic, and the funereal title track keeps time only in the pulse of the horns and the backing, which is based entirely on whole notes. With such an inventive debut, it's a shame Moncur didn't record more as a leader, which makes \u003cem\u003eEvolution\u003c\/em\u003e an even more important item for fans of Blue Note's avant-garde to track down. — (via Steve Huey \/\/ \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/album\/evolution-mw0000197035\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eAllMusic\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"380\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/4lybhjIqqPtLb5xV8sXg3x?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\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Blue Note Records\u003cbr\u003eSeries: Classic Vinyl series\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Vinyl, LP, Album, Reissue, Stereo, 180g\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Avant-garde Jazz, Free Jazz\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blue Note Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42298664976542,"sku":"602445353354","price":45.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/ijehbart22lxcqczfugn.jpg?v=1670931022"},{"product_id":"big-john-patton-oh-baby","title":"Big John Patton – Oh Baby!","description":"\u003cp\u003eThough Patton is one of the ‘Hammond heroes’ indelibly associated with the 1960s heyday of the instrument he enjoyed a renaissance in the 1980s and 90s when he was discovered by Acid Jazz DJs who could not get enough of his Blue Note sessions. This is exactly the kind of fare that was irresistible to both listeners and dancers who were looking for a sound steeped in heavy blues, gospel and soul that was nonetheless modernist in its textural palette. The organ’s dynamic range, taking it from high-register sizzle to low-end fuzz provided a great banquet of sample fodder, but the tasty backbeats were no less of a treat, as exemplified by the snap-happy groove of ‘Fat Judy’, which is really Lee Morgan’s ‘The Sidewinder’ with a weightier ensemble sound. Indeed, the combination of the Mitchell-Vick horn section and Grant Green’s guitar is an inspired one, complementing the leader’s own piping hot solos to a tee. - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.jazzwise.com\/review\/big-john-patton-oh-baby\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eJazzwise\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"380\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/7motRVL6Bmk1ktXiIllhm6?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\u003ctable border=\"1\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100.051%;\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width: 49.9365%;\"\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width: 50.0652%;\"\u003e\n\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eLabel:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlue Note – 4535307, UMe – 4535307, Blue Note – 00602445353071, UMe – 00602445353071, Blue Note – 84192, Blue Note – ST-84192, Blue Note – BST 84192\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eSeries:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlue Note Classic Vinyl Series\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"format_item_3SAJn\"\u003eVinyl, LP, Album, Reissue, Stereo, 180 g\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eCountry:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWorldwide\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eReleased:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21 Oct 2022\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eGenre:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJazz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eStyle:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHard Bop, Soul-Jazz, Jazz-Funk\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":42314878189726,"sku":"602445353071","price":45.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/BIGJOHNPATTON-OHBABY_2048x2048_bec6a56f-a680-439c-bde3-f74419d7fca3.jpg?v=1671689608"},{"product_id":"donald-byrd-cookin-with-blue-note-at-montreux","title":"Donald Byrd – Cookin' With Blue Note At Montreux","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn July 1973, Blue Note Records headed to Montreux, Switzerland to showcase several of the label’s stars at the Montreux Jazz Festival.

But in a live setting the band had a rawer, harder edge, as this searing set attests. Byrd led a 10-piece band that included Larry Mizell on synthesizers, Fonce Mizell on trumpet and vocals, Allan Barneson tenor saxophone and flute, Nathan Davis on soprano and tenor saxophone, Kevin Toney on electric piano, Barney Perry on electric guitar, Henry Franklin on electric bass, Keith Killgo on drums, and Ray Armando on congas and percussion. The set list includes Larry Mizell’s tune “Black Byrd” along with otherwise unrecorded Byrd originals like “The East,” “Kwame,” and “Poco-Mania,” as well as an excellent cover of Stevie Wonder’s “You’ve Got It Bad Girl.” - \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eBlue Note\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"380\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/2zte2MDRQaBWqDDjATzIEJ?utm_source=generator\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; height: 156.789px;\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width: 49.9368%;\"\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width: 49.9368%;\"\u003e\n\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22.3984px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22.3984px;\"\u003eLabel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22.3984px;\"\u003eBlue Note – B003605701\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22.3984px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22.3984px;\"\u003eSeries:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22.3984px;\"\u003eCookin' With Blue Note At Montreux\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22.3984px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22.3984px;\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22.3984px;\"\u003eVinyl, LP, Album\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22.3984px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22.3984px;\"\u003eCountry:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22.3984px;\"\u003eWorldwide\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22.3984px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22.3984px;\"\u003eReleased:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22.3984px;\"\u003eDec 2022\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22.3984px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22.3984px;\"\u003eGenre:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22.3984px;\"\u003eJazz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22.3984px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22.3984px;\"\u003eStyle:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22.3984px;\"\u003eJazz-Funk\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":42315060084894,"sku":"0602445998401","price":48.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/k.jpg?v=1671696301"},{"product_id":"domi-jd-beck-not-tight","title":"Domi \u0026 JD Beck – Not Tight","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e— The Analog Vault \/\/ Essential Listening —\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe New York Times hailed them as simultaneously \"freakishly complex and virtuosic\" and \"relentlessly melodic\", with an album that exemplifies their trailblazing take on jazz.

Following a brief period at the Conservatoire de Paris, she quickly relocated to Berklee College of Music in Boston where she studied jazz on a full scholarship. She began posting videos online and soon caught the attention of hip-hop luminaries Anderson .Paak, Louis Cole, and Thundercat who brought her into their creative circle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was while attending a NAMM (the National Association of Music Merchants) trade show in 2018 that she met drummer Beck. A Dallas native, Beck started on drums at age eight and was mentored early on by other Dallas percussion stars, including Snarky Puppy's Robert \"Sput\" Searight and Stanley Clarke Band regular Mike Mitchell. He also gigged, working in producer Jah-Born's band, where he was exposed to a cross-pollinated blend of hip-hop, electronic, and DJ grooves. The pair hit it off and began jamming, combining DOMi's '70s jazz fusion-influenced style with Beck's kinetic blend of IDM, funk, and prog. Gigs followed, as did performances alongside Thundercat, Herbie Hancock, Ariana Grande, and others. They also continued their work with .Paak, signing to his Apeshit label and co-writing the song \"Skate\" off the rapper's Grammy-winning 2021 collaboration with Bruno Mars as Silk Sonic. In 2022, DOMi \u0026amp; JD BECK released \"SMiLE\" as the first single off their debut full-length, NOT TiGHT. Along with .Paak, the album also featured guest appearances by Herbie Hancock, Thundercat, Mac DeMarco, Kurt Rosenwinkel, and others. It topped Billboard's Contemporary Jazz chart and picked up a Grammy nomination for Best Contemporary Instrumental Album. — (via \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/artist\/domi-jd-beck-mn0004225296\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eAllMusic\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"380\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/6cXQ0dxd2pWCTFhZ8RIg2j?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\u003c\/span\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Blue Note, Apeshit\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Vinyl, LP, Album, 180g\u003cbr\u003eReleased:2022\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Jazz, Hip Hop\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Fusion, Free Jazz, Jazzy Hip-Hop, Modern\/Future Jazz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: TAV Essential Listening\u003cbr\u003eFile under: Jazz \/\/ Modern\/Future Jazz\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e—\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout Domi \u0026amp; JD Beck:\u003cbr\u003eTo date, if you wanted to learn about DOMi \u0026amp; JD BECK—the internet’s most hyped jazz duo—you had to visit their website, click a rat playing saxophone, and read a story about a 12-year-old physicist (DOMi Louna) and a 6-year-old sheep investigator (JD Beck). Let’s fix that. “My philosophy of life is don’t take shit too seriously,” says DOMi Louna, born Domitille Degalle. And that’s fair. But the vibrant world she and her collaborator have given us demands exploration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir long-awaited debut album—which will be released by Anderson .Paak’s new label APESHIT in partnership with the legendary jazz label Blue Note Records—is an attempt to bottle their goofy, very virtuosic magic. Their music finds both humor and greatness in harmonic complexity and rhythmic shiftiness, abruptly adopting and ditching tempos, toying with time signatures, and sneaking extra beats into bridges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe collaboration began under silly circumstances. DOMi Louna was a teen protegé at Berklee by way of the Paris Conservatory; JD, three years her junior, had gigged since grade school around his hometown, Dallas—first in producer Jah-Born’s band where he duetted with MPC beatmakers and DJs spinning Dilla. In 2018, they were both invited to join an ensemble performing at the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) trade show and played in a room full of blaring instrumental demos, surrounded by a chaotic din.

In his first few years with the label McLean recorded frequently, churning out hard bop classics in quick succession. The culmination of this period is undoubtedly Bluesnik, a vibrant 1961 session that brims with immediacy. McLean had the blues on his mind when he entered Rudy Van Gelder’s studio that January with a formidable quintet featuring Freddie Hubbard on trumpet, Kenny Drew on piano, Doug Watkins on bass, and Pete La Roca on drums. Over the course of six original blues pieces the band goes from strength to strength, blazing out of the gate on McLean’s title tune and moving through every hue of blue from the leader’s shuffling “Goin’ Way Blues” to the pianist’s bright theme “Drew’s Blues” and Hubbard’s no-nonsense “Blues Function.” - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/store.bluenote.com\/collections\/jackie-mclean\/products\/jackie-mclean-bluesnik-lp-blue-note-classic-vinyl-series\"\u003eBlue Note\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/6Z0WFkHsVLpDZA7lVZlJgH?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\u003ctable border=\"1\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eLabel:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eBlue Note\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– 4859549,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eUMe\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– 4859549,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBlue Note\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– 00602448595492,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eUMe\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– 00602448595492,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBlue Note\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– ST-84067,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBlue Note\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– 84067,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBlue Note\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– BST 84067\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSeries:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eBlue Note Classic Vinyl Series\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"format_item_3SAJn\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eVinyl,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eLP, Album, Reissue, Stereo,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e180 g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eCountry:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eWorldwide\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eReleased:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003ctime datetime=\"2023-02-17\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e17 Feb 2023\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/time\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eGenre:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eJazz\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eStyle:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eHard Bop\u003c\/span\u003e\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":42503712309406,"sku":"602448595492","price":45.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/bLUES_ea273983-27a8-44fe-a45f-d0d37274707b.jpg?v=1679562966"},{"product_id":"horace-parlan-quintet-speakin-my-piece-classic-vinyl-series","title":"Horace Parlan Quintet – Speakin' My Piece | Classic Vinyl Series","description":"\u003cp\u003eBest known for his work with Charles Mingus, pianist Horace Parlan began recording for Blue Note in 1960 with an excellent run of hard bop classics including?Speakin' My Piece, a quintet date featuring a frontline of Stanley Turrentine (saxophone) and Tommy Turrentine (trumpet) with the rhythm team of George Tucker (bass) and Al Harewood (drums).

Rivers moved to Boston to study at the Boston Conservatory and eventually met, and began performing with, the drummer Tony Williams who was barely a teenager at the time. Williams would open several doors for Rivers including recommending him for what would be a short stint in the Miles Davis Quintet, but also bringing Rivers to the attention of Blue Note’s Alfred Lion. Williams featured Rivers on his Blue Note debut Life Time in 1964, which led to Rivers’ appearance on organist Larry Young’s album Into Somethin’ before the saxophonist was offered his own recording deal with Blue Note. A month later Rivers was in Rudy Van Gelder’s studio recording his astonishing debut album Fuchsia Swing Song with an extraordinary quartet featuring Williams, bassist Ron Carter, and pianist Jaki Byard. Although a strong avant-garde undercurrent flowed through his music, Rivers kept a foot planted firmly in post-bop and the blues on this impressive set of his originals including the fleet-footed title track, the hard-charging “Downstairs Blues Upstairs,” and the stunning ballad “Beatrice” which remains Rivers’ most beloved composition. - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/store.bluenote.com\/collections\/sam-rivers\/products\/sam-rivers-fuchsia-swing-song-lp-blue-note-classic-vinyl-series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eBlue Note\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/0tsowrhCb9ezNEbhG7Xy0W?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\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Blue Note Records\u003cbr\u003eSeries: Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Vinyl, LP, Album, Reissue, Stereo, 180 g\u003cbr\u003eReissued: 2023\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Post Bop, Hard Bop\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blue Note Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42516083343518,"sku":"602448595638","price":48.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/blue-note-sam-rivers-fuchsia-swing-song-classic-vi.jpg?v=1679991647"},{"product_id":"grant-green-green-is-beautiful","title":"Grant Green - Green Is Beautiful (Classic Vinyl series)","description":"\u003cp\u003eGuitarist Grant Green was prolific on Blue Note through the early-60s recording more than 20 hard bop and soul jazz sessions as a leader forthe label between 1961-1965.

Green's take on James Brown's \"Ain't It Funky Now\" is one of the funkiest items in his rare-groove period; it may be chordally very simple, but the groove is tight and percolating, and Green, tenor saxophonist Claude Bartee, and trumpeter Blue Mitchell all come up with hot, exciting solos. \u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe album also benefits from Green's discovery of composer and occasional organist Earl Neal Creque, who contributes two bright, slinky, horn-driven originals: \"The Windjammer,\" which became one of the signature tunes of Green's late period, and \"Dracula.\" They help give the album a more original voice, and indicate that Green was actively making himself at home in his new musical environment, not just mixing dull originals with phoned-in covers of pop and R\u0026amp;B hits (as he and many other '70s Blue Note artists were accused of doing). Of course, there are still pop covers present -- the Beatles' \"A Day in the Life\" is a mellow, mid-tempo groove, and Bacharach's \"I'll Never Fall in Love Again\" doesn't stray far from the melody. Even if those aren't particularly distinctive, the remainder of\u003cem\u003e Green Is Beautiful \u003c\/em\u003eproves that Green's reinvention as a jazz-funk artist wasn't the misguided disaster it was initially made out to be. — (via Steve Huey\/\/ \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/album\/green-is-beautiful-mw0000623413\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eAllMusic\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/6ZeCLbP7BArydb5ueOPysy?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\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Blue Note ‎Records\u003cbr\u003eSeries: Blue Note Classic Vinyl series\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Vinyl, LP, Album, Reissue, Stereo, 180 Gram\u003cbr\u003eReissued: 2023 \/ Original: 1970\u003cbr\u003eGenre:    Jazz\u003cbr\u003eStyle:    Jazz-Funk, Jazz-Soul\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: Blue Note Records\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blue Note Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42561914994846,"sku":"11317","price":45.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/GG.jpg?v=1682665361"}],"url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/collections\/label-blue-note.oembed?page=4","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
