2 superb jazz items added today: VSOP ~ LIVE UNDER THE SKY Formed by Herbie Hancock in 1977 the VSOP Quintet was based on the core players of the great 2nd Miles Davis quintet (Hancock, Shorter, Carter and Williams) with trumpetter Freddie Hubbard taking the Master`s chair. One can hardly imagine a more skilled and talented group of musicians and VSOP delivered! This 1979 live recording in Japan was released as a single LP and now comes with over an hour of additional music and great sound. Stunning! GREAT JAZZ TRIO ~ SOMEDAY MY PRINCE WILL COME The Great Jazz Trio truly deserves its name. Brothers Hank (piano) and Elvin (drums) Jones and bass player extraordinare Richard Davis are all jazz Giants with a legacy that covers generations of the music. This beautiful trio recording from 2002 & 2003 is a stunning tribute to some of the most memorable jazz standards which get a loving and delicate treatment in the hands of the Masters. Breathtaking and deeply moving, this is timeless music. Unfortumately this was one of the last recordings by Elvin Jones, who died recently. ============================ Many items back in stock! ============================ Club Members - your November orders please! ============================ Have Fun!

11 jazz items added today, all on the excellent Dutch jazz label Challenge and all at the SALE price - This as a result of the success of our End Of Year SALE. Grab them while still available: BELMONDO QUINTET ~ FOR ALL FRIENDS AMG Review: The Belmondo brothers, trumpeter Stephane and saxophonist Lionel, proved to be two of the more creative and talented French jazz musicians of the 1990s. Joined by pianist Henri Florens, bassist Thomas Bramerie, and drummer Jean-Pierre Arnaud, the siblings perform nine group originals and "Darn That Dream". The music is primarily post-bop, swinging but open to more modern influences. Both of the Belmondos have appealing and strong sounds in addition to fertile improvising skills, and they really dig into the originals. Jazz listeners wanting to explore some lesser-known but talented musicians would be well advised to check out this fine release. RUMBATA ~ ENEUENTROS Rumbata are an international group led by Columbian percussionist Jaime Rodriguez and including musicians from Panama, Argentina, Venezuela, USA and Holland. They play a great mixture of Southern American Salsa Jazz with mostly up-tempo numbers that make you get up and dance - you just can`t help it! VLOEIMANS, ERIC ~ BESTIARIUM Dutch trumpeter Eric Vloeimans is already an established jazz star in Europe with his outstanding abilities as a player and composer to his credit. On this album his Quartet is transformed into a Quintet with the addition of the famous German saxophonist Peter Weniger. All music on this album is original by Vloeimans and the performances brilliant all the way. LEA, BARBARA / INGHAM, KEITH ~ FINE AND DANDY American singer Barbara Lea is a celebrated legend in the traditional jazz circles and her career goes back into the 1950s. On this wonderful album, accompnied only by the great lyrical pianist Keith Ingham, she pays tribute to the Women Songwriters - all the tunes were either composed or have lyrics written by women, which makes this album so special. DE GRAAF, DICK / LAKATOS, TONY ~ NEW YORK STRAIGHT AHEAD Dutch saxophonist Dick De Graaf is one of the most respected jazz players in Europe and his numerous recordings are all excellent. This album, recored in the US (with the great Billy Hart on drums) brings him together with another great European saxophonist - Tony Lakatos. The two player exchange licks and complement each other, creating some truly exciting modern jazz. BASELINE ~ RETURNS Baseline are an ensemble led by the legendary Dutch bass player Hein Van de Geyn. On this album he is joined by guitarist John Abercrombie, drummer Joe LaBarbera and clarinetist John Ruocco. Together they perform original compositions by de Geyn, all played with gusto and ellegance. LOPRETTI, JOSE ~ CANDOMBE AMG Review: Candombe is the name of a rhythm that comes from Jose Lopretti´s native Uruguay, and it is among the Latin rhythms that the pianist/keyboardist/bassist employs on this post-bop/fusion CD. However, it would be a mistake to think that candombe is the only Latin rhythm that excites Lopretti-on Candombe, the improviser also incorporates everything from Argentinean tango and Afro-Brazilian rhythms to the Andean music of Peru. The result is a rewarding, melodic and fairly unpredictable date that illustrates Lopretti´s talents as both an improviser and a composer. The South American, in fact, wrote all of the thoughtful compositions on this album, which ranges from the poetic "Florita" and the charming "Ciudad Vieja" to the Chick Corea-ish "Trigueסas".

PIZZARELLI BUCKY / PIZZARELLI, JOHN ~ LIVE AT THE VINEYARD THEATRE AMG Review: This 1987 concert at New York´s Vineyard Theatre pairs two fine guitarists, Bucky Pizzarelli and his equally talented son, John Pizzarelli. The two players fit effortlessly hand in glove, no matter who is soloing at a given time, as they work their way through classic standards ("Three Little Words"), jazz classics ("Do Nothin´ Till You Hear From Me"), pop favorites ("Route 66"), and creative medleys (such as the combination of the famous movement from Rodrigo´s "Guitar Concerto" with Chick Corea´s "Spain"). John Pizzarelli also adds warm vocals to several tracks. Concert and recording producer Richard Sudhalter also contributed the enlightening liner notes, most of which is a transcript of a compilation of interviews done with both musicians at the time of the performance and some eight years later. With the CD cover declaring it to be a limited edition, it is well worth making a high-priority purchase. WILBER, BOB / BECHET LEGACY ~ LIVE AT THE VINEYARD AMG Review: After the breakup of Soprano Summit in the early ´80s, Bob Wilber formed a group dedicated to reviving the music of his teacher, Sidney Bechet. Wilber (who triples here on soprano, clarinet, and alto) is heard with his intimate quartet (which also includes trumpeter Randy Sandke, guitarist Mike Peters, and bassist John Goldsby) during a live performance on nine selections associated with Bechet. This CD (its contents were released for the first time in 1995) has plenty of passionate and heated swing, with the high points including "Down in HonkyTonk Town," "Promenade aux Champs-Elysees," "China Boy," and "Lady Be Good." Quite enjoyable. VACHE, WARREN ~ LIVE AT THE VINEYARD American trumpetter Warren Vache is among the most respected musicians on the scene. He plays mostly traditional / swing jazz and recorded numerous albums. Here caught in a trio with John Bunch on piano and Phil Flanigan on bass, he delivers some really hot swing licks in the tradition of the good old days. DAVERN, KENNY / WELLSTOOD, DICK ~ NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS AMG Review: Davern and Wellstood were never innovative, but they were always great at what they did. On a few occasions, one of the improvisers will lay out and give the other a chance to play by himself. That would be risky for lesser musicians, but for players of Davern and Wellstood´s caliber, being occasionally unaccompanied is a good thing. Davern is triumphant when he delivers an unaccompanied clarinet solo on Duke Ellington´s "Mood Indigo," and Wellstood is equally successful when he plays by himself on a six-minute Ellington medley that unites "The Mooche" with "Birmingham Breakdown." But most of the time, Davern and Wellstood play together on this fine Dutch release. ======================= Have Fun! Adam Baruch Jazzis Web Shop https://www.jazzis.com/shop/
