The Thelonious Monk Quartet Misterioso LP (Vinyl)
Reissue of this classic Thelonious Monk album is ideal for all Jazz and vinyl collectors. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; This album was recorded live at the Five Spot Cafe in New York City in August 1958 with Monk on piano, Johnny Griffin on sax, Ahmed Abdul-Malik on bass and Roy Haynes on drums. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; There are re-workings of his earlier compositions (it should be axiomatic that Monk is a constantly self-renewing composer-arranger-musician, that each new recording of an & quot;old & quot; number, particularly with different personnel, represents a fresh view of it--almost a new composition). & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; There is one new piece: & quot;Blues Five Spot. & quot; As that title emphasizes, this album (like Thelonious In Action) was recorded on-the-spot during Monk's 1958 engagement at New York's coloful Five Spot Cafe. Thus there is also a brief unaccompanied version of a standard ( & quot;Just a Gigolo & quot;); characteristic of the way Thelonious opens most of his sets in a club. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The title selected for this album--Misterioso--is more than just the name of one of its numbers. It is an extremely Monk-like song title, evoking by its mild play on words (linking & quot;mist & quot; and & quot;mystery & quot;) another basic characteristic of his music at this or any other time, that feeling of challenge and depth that leads a writer like Gunther Schuller to describe Thelonious quite aptly as & quot;enigmatic and wonderful & quot;. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Vinyl Reissue & lt;br & gt; Pressed at Rainbo Records & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Thelonious Monk, piano & lt;br & gt; Johnny Griffin, tenor saxophone & lt;br & gt; Ahmed Abdul-Malik, bass & lt;br & gt; Roy Haynes, drums & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side 1: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Thelonious Monk The Unique Thelonious Monk LP (Vinyl)
The Unique Thelonious Monk was the pianist's second during his remarkable five-year tenure on Riverside. His debut album for the label was the aptly titled Plays Duke Ellington and, once again on this disc, Monk's song selection did not feature any original compositions. Rather, the well-chosen standards included exemplify and help further establish the pianist and bandleader within the context of familiar melodies at the head of a trio - consisting of Oscar Pettiford and Art Blakey. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Thelonious Monk, piano & lt;br & gt; Oscar Pettiford, bass & lt;br & gt; Art Blakey, drums & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side A: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

A consistently enthusiastic and balanced musical partnership, Bennett and Evans shine both individually and in tandemEvans supporting Bennett with his steady left hand and then frequently diving into melodically inventive solos at the end of the phrase. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Recorded in intimate sessions at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, CA, without even a bassist or drummer present, this album is the product of meticulous personal involvement by the two giants of their genres. Bennett and Evans selected the tunes, worked out the arrangements semi-spontaneously, and picked the final takes to be used. The result was a perfect jazz/pop crossover worthy of many repeat listens. A must-have on vinyl for any serious fan of either of these two greats. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;...an excellent jazz-pop hybrid in which both musicians were shown off to advantage. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; -William Ruhlman, allmusic.com & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Special 180g Vinyl Reissue & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Tony Bennett, vocals & lt;br & gt; Bill Evans, piano & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side One: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

The Sonny Rollins Quartet Tenor Madness LP (Vinyl)
By the time this LP was released, Sonny Rollins already had such albums under his name as Worktime and Sonny Rollins Plus 4, in addition to his sideman exploits with the Clifford Brown/Max Roach Quintet. Even the critics who had been slow in recognizing what fellow jazzmen already knew that here was a young giant in our midst could not help see the light. Tenor Madness, in which he was joined by the rhythm section from the Miles Davis Quintet, further substantiated and underlined his rapidly rising stature. The material is an effective mixture of Rollins playing attitudes with an intriguing original, Pauls Pal, and the mining of unusual material such as My Reverie and The Most Beautiful Girl in the World. And, of course, there is the celebrated title track featuring the two titans to emerge in the Fifties, Rollins and his guest, visiting in the studio that day, John Coltrane. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Features: & lt;br & gt; Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Musicians: & lt;br & gt; Sonny Rollins, tenor sax & lt;br & gt; John Coltrane, tenor sax & lt;br & gt; Red Garland, piano & lt;br & gt; Paul Chambers, bass & lt;br & gt; & quot;Philly & quot; Joe Jones, drums & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

The album turned out to be one of only two examples of how the Rollins edition of Brown/Roach sounded, and it is best remembered for featuring Pent-Up House and the pioneering jazz waltz Valse Hot, two Rollins originals that quickly became jazz standards. Sadly, these proved to be the final studio performances of trumpet giant Brown and pianist Richie Powell, whose deaths in a highway accident three months later brought an end to one of the signature jazz groups of the 1950s. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Sonny Rollins, tenor saxophone & lt;br & gt; Clifford Brown, trumpet & lt;br & gt; Max Roach, drums & lt;br & gt; Richie Powell, piano & lt;br & gt; George Morrow, bass & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side One: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

John Coltrane Soultrane LP (Vinyl)
This album continued the reinforcement of Tranes importance as a stylist. As in Coltrane and John Coltrane and the Red Garland Trio, his first two albums as a leader for Prestige, the material in Soultrane is away from the ordinary. The GarlandPaul ChambersArthur Taylor rhythm section is a perfect accompanying unit for Trane who, by this time, was acknowledged to bealong with Sonny Rollinsone of the two most influential tenor saxophonists in jazz. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Features: & lt;br & gt; Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Musicians: & lt;br & gt; John Coltrane, tenor sax & lt;br & gt; Red Garland, piano & lt;br & gt; Paul Chambers, bass & lt;br & gt; Arthur Taylor, drums & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Although the original disc clocked in at slightly over 30 minutes, packed into that half hour are not only the introduction of a few of Monk's signature compositions, but also some amazing interactions from the assembled ensemble. Joining Thelonious Monk during these two recording sessions are Ray Copeland, Gigi Gryce, Coleman Hawkins, John Coltrane, Wilbur Ware and Art Blakey. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;Monk's Music is often cited as one of the focal points of Thelonious Monk's six-year affiliation (1955-1961) with the Riverside label. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; -Lindsay Planer, allmusic.com & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Prestige Records 65th Anniversary Reissue & lt;br & gt; 120g Vinyl Reissue & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Thelonious Monk, piano & lt;br & gt; Ray Copeland, trumpet & lt;br & gt; Gigi Gryce, alto saxophone & lt;br & gt; Coleman Hawkins, tenor saxophone & lt;br & gt; John Coltrane, tenor saxophone & lt;br & gt; Wilbure Ware, bass & lt;br & gt; Art Blakey, drums & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side One: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Kenny Dorham Quiet Kenny LP (Vinyl)
Kenny Dorham's Quiet Kenny is one of the loveliest albums ever made by a trumpeter and a rhythm section. Recorded for the Prestige subsidiary New Jazz, the session is not entirely & quot;quiet; while ballad readings of standards cast a late-night spell, Dorham's three tuneful blues originals, plus & quot;Mack the Knife, & quot; swing jauntily. Dorham (1924-1972) had worked as a sideman for such innovators as Charlie Parker, Max Roach, and Art Blakey before going solo. In his own sweet way, Dorham was a major figure during the 1950s and 60s. If he was not as effervescent as Dizzy Gillespie, as mysterious as Miles Davis, or as given to skyrocketry as Clifford Brown, Dorham was an eloquent, soulful player with a beautifully understated tone. On Quiet Kenny, backed by the supple piano/bass/drums team of Tommy Flanagan, Paul Chambers, and Arthur Taylor, Kenny Dorham is at his lyrical best. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Features: & lt;br & gt; Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Musicians: & lt;br & gt; Kenny Dorham, trumpet & lt;br & gt; Tommy Flanagan, piano & lt;br & gt; Paul Chambers, bass & lt;br & gt; Arthur Taylor, drums & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

McCoy Tyner Sahara LP (Vinyl)

McCoy Tyner is joined by Sonny Fortune, Calvin Hill and Alphonse Mouzon for this deceptively simple record employing four tunes from the band's regular repertoire and one solo piano piece. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;From the extraordinarily intense & quot;Ebony Queen & quot; through the ruminative solo & quot;A Prayer for My Family, the equally intense & quot;Rebirth, & quot; and the concluding, side-long title track, there's not a misstep to be heard. & quot;Sahara, & quot; over the course of its 23 minutes, covers vast ground, echoing the majesty and misery of the geographical area with percussion and flute interludes to some of Tyner's very best playing on record. Even something that could have resulted in a mere exercise in exotica, his koto performance on & quot;Valley of Life, & quot; exudes both charm and commitment to the form. Tyner would go on to create several fine albums in the mid-'70s, but never again would he scale quite these heights. Sahara is an astonishingly good record and belongs in every jazz fan's collection. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - Brian Olewnick, allmusic.com & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; McCoy Tyner, piano & lt;br & gt; Sonny Fortune, soprano sax & lt;br & gt; Calvin Hill, bass & lt;br & gt; Alphonze Mouzon, drums & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side A: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Charles Mingus Mingus At The Bohemia LP (Vinyl)
This was Charles Minguss first recording with a working band of his own, issued on his own enterprising Debut label. The group was also the first to carry the Mingus Jazz Workshop banner. Recorded live, the music is among the earliest examples of the inspired interplay Mingus demanded from his musicians, and the unity of musical purpose he strived after. Work Song was the first Mingus composition with a socially conscious title and message. Max Roach, Mingus partner in the Debut venture, sits in for Percussion Discussion, a rousing duet (Mingus overdubbed a third part, played on piccolo bass). Barrow and Bert rise to the occasion, Waldron is already himself, and Jones, a Monk graduate, plays with taste and intelligence. This is an important milestone in the saga of Charles Mingus. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Features: & lt;br & gt; Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Musicians: & lt;br & gt; Charles Mingus, bass & lt;br & gt; Eddie Bert, trombone & lt;br & gt; George Barrow, tenor & lt;br & gt; Mal Waldron, piano & lt;br & gt; Willie Jones, drums & lt;br & gt; Max Roach & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

He did so in the company of the esteemed rhythm section of bassist Oscar Pettiford and drummer Kenny Clarke.

& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;This is one of those once-in-a-lifetime meetings of giants...Baritone saxophonist Gerry Mulligan and pianist Thelonious Monk team up on this 1957 recording! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; When Riverside pared Thelonious Monk and Gerry Mulligan on this album, it seemed like a daring move. It is now clear that both men were the kind of revolutionaries who had substantial respect for the jazz tradition. It was more than a meeting of giants, it was proof of the strong bond connecting theoretically opposing forms of modern jazz (bop vs. cool). & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Gerry Mulligan, baritone sax & lt;br & gt; Thelonious Monk, piano & lt;br & gt; Wilbur Ware, bass & lt;br & gt; Shadow Wilson, drums & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side 1: & lt;br & gt; & lt;/b & gt; 1.

This is the first LP to be issued featuring the Miles Davis Quinteta group that was to become one of the most influential small bands of the Fifties. It also introduced John Coltrane to the jazz public, launching him on his significant career.

Guaraldi's spry & quot;Ginza Samba & quot; kicks things off with nimble and imaginative statements by all the soloists. Tjader's swinging originals & quot;Crow's Nest & quot; and & quot;Big Bear & quot; provide prime solo vehicles as well, while his lovely waltz number & quot;Liz-Anne & quot; adds some nice contrast to the set, eliciting one of Getz's best solos in the process. The group rounds things out with fine ballad readings of & quot;I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face & quot; and & quot;For All We Know & quot;. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; This newly reissued vinyl addition is a MUST HAVE title for for both Getz and Tjader fans. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Stan Getz: one of the all-time great tenor saxophonists. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Cal Tjader: The legendary percussionist who is often linked to the development of Latin rock and acid jazz. Although fusing jazz with Latin music is often categorized as & quot;Latin jazz & quot; (or, earlier, & quot;Afro-Cuban jazz & quot;), Tjader's output swung freely between both styles. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Prestige Records 65th Anniversary Re-issue & lt;br & gt; 120g Vinyl Reissue & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side One: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

The Miles Davis Quintet Steamin' With The Miles Davis Quintet LP (Vinyl)
Of Miles Daviss many bands, none was more influential and popular than the quintet with John Coltrane, Red Garland, Paul Chambers, and Philly Joe Jones. Daviss muted ballads and medium-tempo standards endeared him to the public. The horns searing exposition of classics like Salt Peanuts and Well, You Neednt captivated musicians. The searching, restless improvisations of Coltrane intrigued listeners who had a taste for adventure. The flawless rhythm section became a model for bands everywhere. Steamin is a significant portion of the music of the remarkable group. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Features: & lt;br & gt; Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Musicians: & lt;br & gt; Miles Davis, trumpet & lt;br & gt; John Coltrane, tenor saxophone & lt;br & gt; Red Garland, piano & lt;br & gt; Paul Chambers, bass & lt;br & gt; Philly Joe Jones, drums & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

With Thelonious Monk and three quarters of the Modern Jazz Quartet (Jackson, Heath, and Clarke) as his accomplices, Miles Davis blends sophisticated harmonic knowledge with raw, spontaneous invention to produce extraordinary music. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; This is a strong addition to any jazz collection. Music here is performed by a veritable group of jazz greats, hence the title. Davis is joined by John Coltrane, Thelonious Monk, Milt Jackson, Red Garland, Paul Chambers, Percy Heath, Philly Joe Jones, and Kenny Clarke. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;Including sessions recorded the same day as those on Bags Groove, this album includes more classic performances from the date...a great deal of brilliant music occurred on the day of their encounter, including & quot;The Man I Love, & quot; & quot;Bemsha Swing, & quot; and & quot;Swing Spring. & quot; & quot; & lt;/b & gt; -Scott Yanow, allmusic.com & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Prestige Records 65th Anniversary Reissue & lt;br & gt; Vinyl Reissue & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Miles Davis, trumpet & lt;br & gt; Milt Jackson, vibes & lt;br & gt; Thelonious Monk, piano & lt;br & gt; Percy Heath, bass & lt;br & gt; Kenny Clarke, drums & lt;br & gt; John Coltrane, tenor sax & lt;br & gt; Red Garland, piano & lt;br & gt; Paul Chambers, bass & lt;br & gt; Philly Joe Jones, drums & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side A: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

The Miles Davis Quintet Cookin' With The Miles Davis Quintet LP (Vinyl)
The famed extended recording sessions of the Miles Davis Quintet, wherein they taped the bands basic repertoire (and what a marvelous mixture of jazz originals and standards) in the manner of nightclub sets rather than the repetition of the usual studio takes. Cookin was the first to be released and it excited listeners not only with its contents but with its promise of more to come. Davis, Coltrane, Garland, Chambers, and Philly Joe: one of the classic groups in the history of jazz. It established a level of excellence that was to foster a long, successive line of outstanding Davis quintets and sextets through the Fifties and Sixties. From the muted eloquence of My Funny Valentine, through the finger-poppin Blues by Five, to the urgent swing of Airegin and Tune-Up, Cookin has the ability to thrill the listener no matter how many times it is playedthe mark of an all-time great performance. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Features: & lt;br & gt; Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Musicians: & lt;br & gt; Miles Davis, trumpet & lt;br & gt; John Coltrane, tenor sax & lt;br & gt; Red Garland, piano & lt;br & gt; Paul Chambers, bass & lt;br & gt; Philly Joe Jones, drums & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Special Vinyl Reissue! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; This album is a treasury of modern jazz classics by Gillespie, Giuffre, Monk, Mulligan, Parker, Rollins, Silver, etc. arranged by Marty Paich. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; A true classic, Art Pepper + Eleven: Modern Jazz Classics finds altoist Art Pepper joined by an 11-piece band playing Marty Paich arrangements of a dozen jazz standards from the bop and cool jazz era. Trumpeter Jack Sheldon takes a few choice solos, but the focus is very much on Pepper who is in peak form, sounding quite inspired by Paich's charts which feature the band as an active part of the music rather than just in the background. Highlights of this thoroughly enjoyable set include & quot;Move, & quot; & quot;Four Brothers, & quot; & quot;Shaw Nuff, & quot; & quot;Anthropology, & quot; and & quot;Donna Lee, & quot; but there is not a single clunker to be heard.

Charlie Parker Bird at St. Nick's LP (Vinyl)
Charlie Parker attracted young musicians like a magnet. Among them was trombonist Jimmy Knepper, who, at a time when tape recording was a brand-new thing, captured Bird in flight one winter night in Manhattan. He soared, and when Charles Mingus heard the music years later, he issued it as the first release on his new Jazz Workshop label. Since then, many private recordings of Parker have been made public. This was one of the first, and remains one of the best, a precious musical document. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Features: & lt;br & gt; Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Musicians: & lt;br & gt; Charlie Parker, alto & lt;br & gt; Red Rodney, trumpet & lt;br & gt; Al Haig, piano & lt;br & gt; Tommy Potter, bass & lt;br & gt; Roy Haynes, drums & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

The Bill Evans Trio Portrait In Jazz LP (Vinyl)
This 1959 release had a profound impact on jazz history and features Scott LaFaro on bass and Paul Motian on drums. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Bill Evans made two albums in 1959 that had a profound impact on jazz history - Kind of Blue with Miles Davis and this debut disc by Evans' first permanent working unit. The fluidity and interdependence these three developed forever changed the face of the piano trio, introducing new notions of shading, balance, and poetic lyricism, not to mention the superhuman virtuosity of the tragically short-lived bassist Scott LaFaro. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Bill Evans, piano & lt;br & gt; Scott LaFaro, bass & lt;br & gt; Paul Motian, drums & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side 1: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Clifford Brown Memorial LP (Vinyl)
& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Vinyl Reissue Series Commemorates 65th Anniversary of Prestige Records and 90th Birthday of Legendary Engineer Rudy Van Gelder! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;When Brownie stood up and took his first solo on 'Philly J J,' I nearly fell off my seat in the control room. The power, range and brilliance together with the warmth and invention was something that I hadn't heard since Fats Navarro, & quot; & lt;/b & gt; stated famed jazz historian Ira Gitler, who happened to be supervising the 1953 session that yielded part of Memorial. Indeed, trumpeter Clifford Brown is heard here in fine form in two unrelated sessions. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; On four selections, Brown coasts effortlessly along with Tadd Dameron's Orchestra, sharing the solo spotlight with Benny Golson on tenor and Gigi Gryce on alto. On the remainder of the album, composed from material cut in Sweden the same year, Brown is joined by fellow trumpeter Art Farmer for four Quincy Jones arrangements with a Swedish group that includes altoist Arne Domnérus, baritonist Lars Gullin, and pianist Bengt Hallberg. On whole, this is classic, sophisticated material that deserves a place in every jazz vinyl collection. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Prestige Records 65th Anniversary Reissue & lt;br & gt; 120g Vinyl Reissue & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Clifford Brown, trumpet & lt;br & gt; Idrees Sulieman, trumpet & lt;br & gt; Gigi Gryce, alto sax & lt;br & gt; Benny Golson, tenor sax & lt;br & gt; Oscar Estell, baritone sax & lt;br & gt; Herb Mullins, trombone & lt;br & gt; Tadd Dameron, piano & lt;br & gt; Percy Heath, bass & lt;br & gt; Philly Joe Jones, drums & lt;br & gt; Art Farmer, trumpet & lt;br & gt; Arne Domnerus, alto sax & lt;br & gt; Lars Gullin, baritone sax & lt;br & gt; Ake Persson, trombone & lt;br & gt; Bengt Hallberg, piano & lt;br & gt; Gunnar Johnson, bass & lt;br & gt; Jack Noren, drums & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Eric Dolphy Out There LP (Vinyl)
Dolphys second album as a leader is a departure from his first, Outward Bound, where he used a conventional front line (his alto with trumpeter Freddie Hubbard) albeit differently, in that by utilizing Ron Carters bowed cello as a second voice he achieves a chamber-like avant jazz. It was quite daring for its time and again spotlights Erics bass clarinet and flute as well as, on one number (Eclipse, a Charles Mingus composition), conventional clarinet. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Features: & lt;br & gt; Eric Dolphy, alto sax, flute, Bb, bass clarinets & lt;br & gt; Ron Carter, cello & lt;br & gt; George Duvivier, bass & lt;br & gt; Roy Haynes, drums & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Musicians: & lt;br & gt; Eric Dolphy & lt;br & gt; Ron Carter & lt;br & gt; George Duvivier & lt;br & gt; Roy Haynes & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

CAL TJADER CAL TJADER'S LATIN CONCERT LP (Vinyl)
& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;strong & gt; & quot;Cal Tjader's Latin Concert & quot; was recorded in 1958 at San Francisco's famous Black Hawk Club! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; As Cal Tjader's reputation and popularity grew as one of the major forces in Afro-Cuban jazz, he was able to hire some of the music's most able artists. In this 1958 album, recorded at San Francisco's famous Black Hawk, his band included percussionists Mongo Santamaria and Willie Bobo, pianist Vince Guaraldi, and bassist Al McKibbon, a veteran of the Dizzy Gillespie band that opened American ears to the charms and urgencies of Afro-Cuban rhythms. & lt;b & gt; & quot;Having Al in the band, & quot; & lt;/b & gt; Tjader once said, & lt;b & gt; & quot;is an impossible dream come true. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; Among the pieces are several by Tjader and one that was destined to become a classic in the literature of Latin jazz, Ray Bryant's & quot;Cubano Chant. & quot; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side A: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Coleman Hawkins The Hawk Flies High LP (Vinyl)
Hawkins literally invented jazz saxophone, starred in the first jazz big band, and played with unfailing strength and invention into the Sixties. When Riverside invited him to assemble his choice of an ideal small group, the Hawk picked an impressive cast that ran the gamut from modern (J.J. Johnson) through mainstream (Hank Jones) and on back to Swing (ex-Basie drummer Jo Jones) and created a powerful album that stands as a lasting part of his legacy. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Features: & lt;br & gt; Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Musicians: & lt;br & gt; Coleman Hawkins, tenor sax & lt;br & gt; J.J.

Kenny Burrell & John Coltrane LP (Vinyl)
& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Excellent chemistry between Burrell and Coltrane, a brilliant blend of guitar and tenor sax! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; One of those rare combinations that occur only in the recording studio happened between John Coltrane and Kenny Burrell in 1958. The rhythm team of Paul Chambers and Jimmy Cobb, who were with the Miles Davis quintet, was enhanced by the suave, swinging piano of Tommy Flanagan, at that time solidifying his growing reputation on the New York scene. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; This is the one-time chemistry of Burrell and Coltrane, the blend of guitar and tenor saxophone in a mix of original and standards; one of the latter, & quot;Why Was I Born, & quot; is a duet for the two principals. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Kenny Burrell, guitar & lt;br & gt; John Coltrane, tenor saxophone & lt;br & gt; Tommy Flanagan, piano & lt;br & gt; Paul Chambers, bass & lt;br & gt; Jimmy Cobb, drums & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side A: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Charlie Parker Bird On 52nd Street LP (Vinyl)
A companion album to Bird at St. Nicks, this was also taped on location by trombonist Jimmy Knepper. It comes, most likely, from the Three Deuces on New Yorks famed Swing Alley, 52nd Street. The supporting case of trumpeter Miles Davis, pianist Duke Jordan, bassist Tommy Potter, and drummer Max Roach helped compromise the Charlie quintet but Jordan is heard in solo only briefly and Davis hardly at all. Tape was precious and Knepper saved the lions share for Bird. The standards and the originals are all here as only Parker could play on them, including a Night in Tunisia break and several versions of 52nd Street Theme. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Features: & lt;br & gt; Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Musicians: & lt;br & gt; Charlie Parke, alto & lt;br & gt; Miles Davis, trumpet & lt;br & gt; Duke Jordan, piano & lt;br & gt; Tommy Potter, bass & lt;br & gt; Max Roach, drums & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1. 52nd Street Theme & lt;br & gt; 2.

Reissue of this classic Monk & amp; Rollins album is ideal for all Jazz and vinyl collectors. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Jazz pianist & amp; composer Thelonious Monk with saxophonist Sonny Rollins released this self-titled album in 1954 on the Prestige label as #7075.

This was Monk's final album with Prestige before moving to Riverside Records. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;...[A]n all-star cast headed up by Thelonious Monk (piano)...includes some collaborative efforts with Sonny Rollins (tenor sax) that go beyond simply inspired and into a realm of musical telepathy. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - Lindsay Planer, allmusic.com & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Vinyl Reissue & lt;br & gt; Pressed at Rainbo Records & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Thelonious Monk, piano & lt;br & gt; Sonny Rollins, tenor saxophone (1,2,5) & lt;br & gt; Julius Watkins, French horn (5) & lt;br & gt; Percy Heath, bass (3-5) & lt;br & gt; Tommy Potter, bass (1,2) & lt;br & gt; Art Taylor, drums (1,2) & lt;br & gt; Art Blakey, drums (3,4) & lt;br & gt; Willie Jones, drums (5) & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

The Red Garland Trio Groovy LP (Vinyl)
Red Garland and Miles Davis had a symbiotic relationship. Red was such an important cog in the Davis quintet as a soloist, interactive accompanist, and keeper of the repertory. Being in Miles' group gave Garland the exposure he otherwise would not have gotten. Once Garland's talent as a pianist, with a boundless repository of material in his head, was established, Prestige's Bob Weinstock signed him to a contract as a recording leader in his own right. With his Davis section-mate, Paul Chambers, on bass, and New York drummer Arthur Taylor, Garland formed a trio that met quite often in Rudy Van Gelder's studio. Groovy was the third in Red's trio series for Prestige and it has the usual fine mix of jazz standards, ballad standards, blues ballads, and just plain blues. It is an object lesson in finding and maintaining a groove. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Features: & lt;br & gt; Viny LP & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Musicians: & lt;br & gt; Red Garland, piano & lt;br & gt; Paul Chambers, bass & lt;br & gt; Arthur Taylor, drums & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

The Dave Brubeck Quartet Jazz At Oberlin LP (Vinyl)
& lt;b & gt; & lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt;A Must Buy for anyone who likes jazz music and Dave Brubeck! & lt;/font & gt; & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Dave Brubeck performs alongside Paul Desmond, Ron Crotty and Lloyd Davis. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;Dubbed as Dave Brubeck's first of many live recordings issued from concert performances on college campuses, Jazz at Oberlin (Ohio, in the Finney Chapel) also takes to task the notion that his band was ineffably cool. Alto saxophonist Paul Desmond is on fire no matter the tempo, and asserts his post-Charlie Parker influence in a way that few of his follow-up recordings intimated. This is a straight reissue from the original album, clocking in at under 40 minutes, but full of the great musicianship that made the Brubeck/Desmond tandem so popular. It's a recording also notable for bassist Ron Crotty and drummer Lloyd Davis, never as highly regarded as when they were in this quartet. Desmond comes out of the box smokin' for & quot;These Foolish Things & quot; even though the band plays easy blues/swing, and really tears up bop versions of & quot;Perdido & quot; and & quot;The Way You Look Tonight. & quot; Only on the introduction of & quot;How High the Moon & quot; does Brubeck lead the way, deferring to his lead bandmate for most of this performance. Playing to a sophisticated, literate, academic crowd, the quartet appealed to these patrons to the extent that the pianist toured colleges exclusively for a time prior to the big hit & quot;Take Five & quot; becoming an iconic jazz staple. The Oberlin concert and LP release paved the way for the famous pair to perform prolifically throughout the decades of post-bop modern mainstream jazz. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - Michael G.

Haynes, Newborn, Chambers We Three LP (Vinyl)
& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Vinyl Reissue Series Commemorates 65th Anniversary of Prestige Records and 90th Birthday of Legendary Engineer Rudy Van Gelder! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; We Three, recorded in a single session on November 14, 1958, was the first American studio date as a bandleader for the diminutive and legendary jazz drummer Roy Haynes, although with pianist Phineas Newborn on board (along with bassist Paul Chambers), it really is a set dominated by Newborn, whose busy, two-handed technique were works in tandem balanced with Haynes's cool refinement. Newborn was all about amazing and dazzling piano runs that on some dates created simply too much flash and clutter to allow pieces to flow and breathe properly, but Haynes has always been about grace and flow throughout his career (if a drummer's style can be said to be elegant, Haynes fits the bill), and here he rubs off on Newborn, who exercises just enough restraint to keep him in the proper orbit, resulting in a fine album. Highlights include the easy, pure swing of the opener, a version of Ray Bryant's & quot;Reflection & quot;, a wonderful and bluesy rendition of Avery Parrish's & quot;After Hours & quot; (which finds Newborn in perfect balance between explosive ornamentation and smooth functionality), and a jaunty, fun spin through Newborn's own & quot;Sugar Ray & quot;, a tribute to boxer Sugar Ray Robinson. This trio had a brief recording career together, but as this solid set shows, they made the best of it. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Prestige Records 65th Anniversary Re-issue & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Roy Haynes, drums & lt;br & gt; Phineas Newborn, piano & lt;br & gt; Paul Chamber, bass & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side A: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

John Coltrane Coltrane LP (Vinyl)
After establishing himself as a new star with the Miles Davis quintet, the Thelonious Monk quartet, and various Prestige recordings with Sonny Rollins, Hank Mobley, and Tadd Dameron, Coltrane made his debut as a leader with this LP. It includes his own compositions such as Straight Street and Chronic Blues; and his inimitable explorations of little-heard old pop songs such as Violets for Your Furs, While My Lady Sleeps, and Time Was. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Features: & lt;br & gt; Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Musicians: & lt;br & gt; John Coltrane, tenor sax & lt;br & gt; Johnnie Splawn, trumpet & lt;br & gt; Sahib Shihab, baritone sax & lt;br & gt; Red Garland, piano & lt;br & gt; Mal Waldron, piano & lt;br & gt; Paul Chambers, bass & lt;br & gt; Albert & quot;Tootie & quot; Heath, drums & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

It features a group made up of pianist Mal Waldron, bassist Richard Davis and drummer Ed Blackwell really stretching out during long versions of Little's & quot;Aggression & quot; and the standard & quot;Like Someone in Love. & quot; Dolphy's playing -- whether on alto, bass clarinet or flute -- always defied categorization, while Little (who passed away less than three months later) was the first new voice on the trumpet to emerge after Clifford Brown's death in 1956. An excellent set that records what may have been Dolphy's finest group ever, as well as one of that era's best working bands. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;Most hail this first volume, and a second companion album from the same sessions, as music that changed the jazz world as much as Ornette Coleman and John Coltrane's innovative excursions of the same era.

Miles Davis And Milt Jackson Quintet/Sextet LP (Vinyl)
Recorded in the summer of 1955, this session was a half-year after the famed meeting of Davis and Jackson with Thelonious Monk on Christmas Eve 1954. The special chemistry of Miles and Milt is further enhanced on the two numbers written by Jackie McLean where the composers alto saxophone makes the group a sextet. McLean is yet another of the young talents fostered by Davis. Ray Bryant, in his introduction to a wider jazz audience, is also represented by one tune.

The album actually consists of two separate recording sessions that took place at the studio of the legendary Rudy Van Gelder in 1958. The incredible lineup for these sessions includes, in addition to John Coltrane on tenor sax, Wilbur Harden, Freddie Hubbard, Red Garland, Paul Chambers, Jimmy Cobb, and Arthur Taylor. This reissue is truly a jazz classic that is not to be missed in any collection! & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; During his final months with Miles Davis' group, John Coltrane participated in a number of recording sessions for Prestige and New Jazz independently of Davis in both leader and side-man roles. This album continues the already extensive series of recordings from that period. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; As John Coltrane grew in popularity, and had stopped recording for Prestige, the label began reassembling various Coltrane recordings and reissuing them with his name prominently displayed. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;...Stardust paints a consistently attractive picture of Coltrane's 1958 output. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; -Alex Henderson, allmusic.com & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Prestige Records 65th Anniversary Reissue & lt;br & gt; 150g Vinyl Reissue & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; John Coltrane, tenor saxophone & lt;br & gt; Wilbur Harden, fluegelhorn & lt;br & gt; Freddy Hubbard, trumpet & lt;br & gt; Red Garland, piano & lt;br & gt; Paul Chambers, bass & lt;br & gt; Jimmy Cobb, drums & lt;br & gt; Art Taylor, drums & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side A: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Beautifully rendered, & quot;Blue Monk & quot; is the highlight of the album, adventurously combining disharmonic riffs within a melodic and very memorable structure. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Monk's explorations conjure up images of a mathematician working out geometric patterns on the keyboard and evoke a sublime beauty as they build order out of chaos.

The album is described as & quot;a slick, fluid, professional set of hard bop at its finest. & quot; (BBC) & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Art Blakey led many editions of his Jazz Messengers over more than three decades, but a strong argument can be made that the Messengers of his Riverside period constituted his strongest unit. With Freddie Hubbard, Wayne Shorter, and Curtis Fuller in the front line, with Cedar Walton and Reggie Workman as Blakey's rhythm-section mates, its combination of musicianship and sheer swinging force has rarely been equaled in a small band. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Caravan was the first of Blakey's Riverside albums and endures as a living monument to his nonpareil drumming and leadership. His solo on the title tune is one of the finest recorded examples of Blakey's unique melding of precision and power. Hubbard and Shorter contributed memorable compositions and, with Fuller and Walton, some of the greatest soloing of the 1960s. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;This release can be considered definitive Blakey, bop, and Jazz Messengers. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; -Lindsay Planer, allmusic.com & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Prestige Records 65th Anniversary Re-issue & lt;br & gt; 120g Vinyl Reissue & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Art Blakey, drums & lt;br & gt; Freddie Hubbard, trumpet & lt;br & gt; Curtis Fuller, trombone & lt;br & gt; Wayne Shorter, tenor sax & lt;br & gt; Cedar Walton, piano & lt;br & gt; Reggie Workman, bass & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side One: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

John Coltranes Prestige years began when he joined the Miles Davis Quintet in 1955.

Special Merit: Informal & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Yusef Lateefs interpolation into his music of traditions, modes, and instruments of Asia struck a sympathetic chord in the jazz audience. Perhaps its fascination lay in the apparently inextinguishable human need for mysticism, perhaps in the unending attraction of the sadness and beauty of minor keys. At any rate, there was considerable demand for Lateefs many recordings of the late 1950s and early Sixties that reflected his fascination with things oriental. Eastern Sounds, in fact, was one of his best sellers. One of the warmest and most accessible soloists in jazz, Lateef is a master not only of conventional reed instruments but many unconventional ones. Here, using only tenor saxophone, flute, and oboe, he generates mystery and exoticism. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Features: & lt;br & gt; Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Musicians: & lt;br & gt; Yusef Lateef, tenor sax, oboe, flute & lt;br & gt; Barry Harris, piano & lt;br & gt; Ernie Farrow, bass, rabat & lt;br & gt; Lex Humphries, drums & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1. The Plum Blossom & lt;br & gt; 2. Blues For The Orient & lt;br & gt; 3. Chinq Miau & lt;br & gt; 4. Don't Blame Me & lt;br & gt; 5. Love Theme from Spartacus & lt;br & gt; 6. Snafu & lt;br & gt; 7.

The Red Garland Quintet Soul Junction LP (Vinyl)
& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Vinyl Reissue Series Commemorates 65th Anniversary of Prestige Records and 90th Birthday of Legendary Engineer Rudy Van Gelder! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; With a veritable All-Star lineup in tow, pianist Red Garland turns in a relaxed session that highlights his deft, tasteful touch. Recorded on November 15, 1957 at the legendary Van Gelder Studio in Hackensack, NJ, Soul Junction features tenor saxophonist John Coltrane in fine form joined by trumpeter Donald Byrd, bassist George Joyner and drummer Art Taylor. Highlights include Garlands 15-minute blues workout on the title cut and Coltranes masterful sheets of sound soloing on the bouncy, breezy Woodyn You. This classic jazz recording has now been newly reissued on vinyl, and is a must-have for all jazz and vinyl collections. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;Pianist Red Garland's very relaxed, marathon blues solo on the 16-minute & quot;Soul Junction & quot; is the most memorable aspect of this (album) reissue. With such soloists as tenor saxophonist John Coltrane and trumpeter Donald Byrd, plus steady support provided by bassist George Joyner and drummer Art Taylor, Garland gets to stretch out on the title cut and four jazz originals, including & quot;Birk's Works & quot; and & quot;Hallelujah. & quot; Coltrane is in excellent form, playing several stunning sheets of sound solos. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - allmusic.com & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Prestige Records 65th Anniversary Reissue & lt;br & gt; 120g Vinyl Reissue & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Red Garland, piano & lt;br & gt; John Coltrane, tenor saxophone & lt;br & gt; Donald Byrd, trumpet & lt;br & gt; George Joyner, bass & lt;br & gt; Arthur Taylor, drums & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side A: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

The Cannonball Adderley Quintet In San Francisco LP (Vinyl)
When Adderley joined the Riverside label, he was assured that his still-unformed band would be recorded promptly, whenever and wherever he felt ready. The quintet, featuring Nat Adderley and Bobby Timmons, was assembled in 1959 and the promise was kept that October at San Francisco's Jazz Workshop. The memorable result is heard here - one of the most exciting, influential, and successful 'live' recordings in modern jazz history. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Features: & lt;br & gt; Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Musicians: & lt;br & gt; Cannonball Adderley, alt sax & lt;br & gt; Nat Adderley, cornet & lt;br & gt; Bobby Timmons, piano & lt;br & gt; Sam Jones, bass & lt;br & gt; Louis Hayes, drums & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Chet Baker Chet Baker In New York LP (Vinyl)
& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Vinyl Reissue Series Commemorates 65th Anniversary of Prestige Records and 90th Birthday of Legendary Engineer Rudy Van Gelder! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; A uniformly brilliant effort from cool-toned trumpeter Chet Baker in his first ever appearance as a leader for the New York based label Riverside Records, In New York is the epitome of West Coast cool meets East Coast sensibility. Teaming up with pianist Al Haig, tenor saxophonist Johnny Griffin, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Philly Joe Jones, Baker's laid-back mastery is on full display throughout this historic session. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Marked by an uncanny group unity, which gives rise to many outstanding supporting solos, the tracks captured on Chet Baker In New York alternatingly effervesce with a California cool introspection and percolate with driving intensity. An excellent survey of Baker's style and prowess as a leader, Chet Baker In New York is highly recommended as THE album to own for anyone curious about diving in to his illustrious catalog. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Prestige Records 65th Anniversary Re-issue & lt;br & gt; 120g Vinyl Reissue & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Chet Baker, trumpet & lt;br & gt; Al Haig, piano & lt;br & gt; Johnny Griffin, tenor saxophone & lt;br & gt; Paul Chambers, bass & lt;br & gt; Philly Joe Jones, drums & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side One: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Blue Thoughts & lt;br & gt; 3. When Lights Are Low
Thelonious Monk With John Coltrane LP (Vinyl)
When Monk and Trane spent six months of 1957 working together at New Yorks Five Spot Cafe, it was an historic event which certainly should have been exhaustively recorded. But non-musical conflicts made that impossible, leaving as the only permanent reminders of this momentous encounter the three remarkable quartet selections that highlight this album. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Features: & lt;br & gt; Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Musicians: & lt;br & gt; Thelonious Monk, piano & lt;br & gt; John Coltrane, tenor sax & lt;br & gt; Coleman Hawkins, tenor sax & lt;br & gt; Ray Copeland, trumpet & lt;br & gt; Gigi Gryce, alto sax & lt;br & gt; Wilbur Ware, bass & lt;br & gt; Art Blakey, drums & lt;br & gt; Shadow Wilson, drums & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Bill Evans New Jazz Conceptions LP (Vinyl)

Recorded in 1956, more than a year before he joined the Miles Davis Sextet, this set finds Evans flashing his own unique chord voicings in a lyrical, swinging style. Three selections here are taken solo (including the original version of his classic & quot;Waltz for Debby & quot;), while the other eight are performed in a trio with bassist Teddy Kotick and drummer Paul Motian (including his future theme & quot;Five, & quot; & quot;Speak Low, & quot; and & quot;No Cover, No Minimum & quot;). A strong start to a significant career and a must-have for fans of classic piano trios. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Prestige Records 65th Anniversary Reissue & lt;br & gt; 120g Vinyl Reissue & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Bill Evans, piano & lt;br & gt; Teddy Kotick, bass & lt;br & gt; Paul Motian, drums & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side One: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

The Miles Davis Quintet Relaxin' With The Miles Davis Quintet LP (Vinyl)
Relaxin with the Miles Davis Quintet is in every way a masterpiece. When the trumpeter (1926-1991) had formed the band in 1955, his colleaguestenor saxophonist John Coltrane, pianist Red Garland, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Philly Joe Joneswere not considered jazz-world A-listers. And before conquering his narcotics addiction earlier in the Fifties, Davis had seen his once-promising career go into eclipse. By 1956, however, his sound, especially when muted, was an achingly personal counterpart to the vocals of Billie Holiday and Frank Sinatra. Relaxin (plus its Prestige companions, Miles, Cookin, Workin, and Steamin) reestablished Davis, and elevated his quintet as the gold standard of small groups. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; With its accent on bright tempos, from medium-bounce to crisply up, Relaxin remains one of Daviss sunniest outings, a prime example of one of the outstanding ensembles of the 20th century reaching the summit of their artistry. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Features: & lt;br & gt; Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Musicians: & lt;br & gt; Miles Davis, trumpet & lt;br & gt; John Coltrane, tenor sax & lt;br & gt; Red Garland, piano & lt;br & gt; Paul Chambers, bass & lt;br & gt; Philly Joe Jones, drums & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1. If I Were A Bell & lt;br & gt; 2. You're My Everything & lt;br & gt; 3. I Could Write a Book & lt;br & gt; 4. Oleo & lt;br & gt; 5. It Could Happen To You & lt;br & gt; 6. Woody'n You
Miles Davis Bags Groove LP (Vinyl)
More than 30 years ago Miles Davis recorded this music in the company of such other giants as Milt Jackson, Thelonious Monk, Kenny Clarke, Percy Heath, Sonny Rollins, and Horace Silver. Today the music they made is regarded as classic. Bags Groove, in two versions, is a perfect illustration of the improvisatory process, and the various delights that can develop from take to take; the date with Rollins reveals his development toward major status. It is hard to believe that having heard these 1954 recordings, the critics could have called Daviss triumph at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1955 a comeback. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Features: & lt;br & gt; Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Musicians: & lt;br & gt; Miles Davis, trumpet & lt;br & gt; Milt Jackson, vibes & lt;br & gt; Thelonious Monk, piano & lt;br & gt; Percy Heath, bass & lt;br & gt; Kenny Clarke, drums & lt;br & gt; Sonny Rollins, tenor sax & lt;br & gt; Horace Silver, piano & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1. Bags Groove (2 takes) & lt;br & gt; 2. Airegin & lt;br & gt; 3. Oleo & lt;br & gt; 4. But Not For Me (2 takes) & lt;br & gt; 5. Doxy & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Recorded December 24 and June 29, 1954.
Miles Davis Featuring Sonny Rollins Dig LP (Vinyl)
Originally issued by Prestige as item number 7012, Dig contains tracks recorded from a 1951 session at Apex Studios. The album features the sextet of Davis, Rollins, McLean, Bishop, Potter and Blakey. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;Tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins was present as a member of the Miles Davis sextet (alto saxophonist Jackie McLean, pianist Walter Bishop, bassist Tommy Potter, drummer Art Blakey) on Dig, which was part of a 10/5/51 session, all of which was also on a two-fer... & quot; & lt;/b & gt; allmusic.com & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 180 Gram Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Miles Davis, trumpet & lt;br & gt; Sonny Rollins, tenor sax & lt;br & gt; Jackie McLean, alto sax & lt;br & gt; Walter Bishop, piano & lt;br & gt; Tommy Potter, bass & lt;br & gt; Art Blakey, drums & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

The Miles Davis Quintet Workin' With The Miles Davis Quintet LP (Vinyl)
Undeniably one of the best small bands in the history of jazz, the Miles Davis quintet of the mid-1950s made history at the Cafe Bohemia on Manhattans Barrow Street and in the New Jersey studio of Rudy Van Gelder for Prestige. This is the third in a series of four LPs taped in two marathon studio sessions, done in the style of sets at the Bohemia and producing music of high energy and immediacy. Preceded by Cookin and Relaxin, Workin is a mix of standards and originals, up-tempos and ballads, and a trio number, Ahmads Blues. The music this quintet made in the mid-Fifties period will live forever: the excitement of the emerging John Coltrane; the informed, melodic swing of Red Garland; the tremendous snap and pop of the rhythm trio of Garland, Paul Chambers, and Philly Joe Jones; and Miles poignancy and intense swing. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Features: & lt;br & gt; Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Musicians: & lt;br & gt; Miles Davis, trumpet & lt;br & gt; John Coltrane, tenor & lt;br & gt; Red Garland, piano & lt;br & gt; Paul Chambers, bass & lt;br & gt; & quot;Philly & quot; Joe Jones, drums & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Ahmad's Blues & lt;br & gt; 7. Half Nelson & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Recorded May 11 and October 26, 1956 in Hackensack, NJ.
Bill Evans Everybody Digs Bill Evans LP (Vinyl)
The legend of Bill Evans really begins with this album, his second. The pianist had just spent most of 1958 as part of one of the major units in jazz history: the Miles Davis Sextet that also featured John Coltrane and Cannonball Adderley. His fellow musicians already knew his worth (the album title was almost literally accurate, and the four endorsements on the cover, which embarrassed Bill, could easily have been greatly multiplied); with this record, the jazz public began to follow their lead. Aided by Sam Jones and Philly Joe Jones, Evans set down some of his most swinging trio sides, but the session would be memorable if it had only yielded the remarkable and haunting solo improvisation called Peace Piece. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Features: & lt;br & gt; Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Musicians: & lt;br & gt; Bill Evans, piano & lt;br & gt; Sam Jones, bass & lt;br & gt; & quot;Philly & quot; Joe Jones, drums & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1. Minority & lt;br & gt; 2. Young and Foolish & lt;br & gt; 3. Lucky To Be Me & lt;br & gt; 4. Night and Day & lt;br & gt; 5. Epilogue & lt;br & gt; 5. Tenderly & lt;br & gt; 6. Peace Piece & lt;br & gt; 7. What Is There to Say? & lt;br & gt; 8. Oleo & lt;br & gt; 9. Epilogue & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Recorded December 15, 1958 in New York.
Miles Davis Miles Davis And Horns LP (Vinyl)
The sextet tracks with Sonny Rollins and Bennie Green were the first recordings Miles made after his affiliation with Capitol ended, a hiatus of approximately ten months. It began a long and fruitful association with Prestige, first in all-star contexts and, later, with the first of his regular quintets. Miles was battling personal problems in this period and also was not in favor with the critics. Some of them still thought of his tone and style as a man walking on egg shells, when, in reality, he was into a more popping, burning attack. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The 1953 tracks with Al Cohn and Zoot Sims (all compositions by Cohn) are in a more laid-back groove, striking a balance between the Capitol nonet and the fierce swing of the Blue n Boogie with J.J. Johnson and Lucky Thompson to come in 1954. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Features: & lt;br & gt; Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Musicians: & lt;br & gt; Miles Davis, trumpet & lt;br & gt; Sonny Truitt, trombone & lt;br & gt; Al Cohn, tenor sax & lt;br & gt; Zoot Sims, tenor sax & lt;br & gt; John Lewis, piano & lt;br & gt; Leonard Gaski, bass & lt;br & gt; Kenny Clarke, drums & lt;br & gt; Bennie Green, trombone & lt;br & gt; Sonny Rollins, tenor sax & lt;br & gt; Percy Heath, bass & lt;br & gt; Roy Haynes, drums & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

The trio plays eight original (except the standard Take Me Out to the Ballgame) tunes with all titles deriving from baseball. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Andre Previn, piano & lt;br & gt; Russ Freeman, piano & lt;br & gt; Shelly Manne, drums & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.
