Moanin'

Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers

Jazz - Released January 1, 1958 | Blue Note Records

Hi-Res Booklet Distinctions The Qobuz Ideal Discography
If you could have only have one Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers disc, it absolutely must be Moanin'. This 1958 Blue Note date is the cream of the early Messengers' studio sessions. The group of this period featured the wailing Lee Morgan (trumpet), the swinging Benny Golson (sax), and the soulful Bobby Timmons (piano), with longtime bassist Jymie Merritt by Blakey's side. All of the pieces fell into place here to create one of the most hard-swinging, blues-inflected records in jazz history. Timmons' classic title cut sets the pace as its laid-back call-and-response chorus and swinging bridge will get into your soul and start your head bobbing. Golson's bouncing "Are You Real" and the subtle "Along Came Betty" feature that golden Messengers ensemble sound that can't be matched as Blakey drives his men mercilessly. The most dynamic tracks, of course, are the drum feature "The Drum Thunder Suite," a Blakey tour de force, and the powerful "Blues March" featuring Blakey's signature shuffle groove. A delightful reading of the standard "Come Rain or Come Shine" caps it all off. This is arguably the quintessential Blakey disc.© TiVo

Changes: The Complete 1970s Atlantic Studio Recordings

Charles Mingus

Jazz - Released June 23, 2023 | Rhino Atlantic

Hi-Res Distinctions Qobuz Album of the Week
Collecting up the seven albums recorded for the Atlantic label between October 1973 and December 1978 by the double bassist and composer Charles Mingus, as well as an entire album of previously unreleased alternative pieces, this magnificent box set captures the legendary jazz musician’s last major creative period before Charcot's disease would take his life prematurely in January 1979, at the age of just 56. While some of the records in this set have been enshrined in Mingus' discography’s pantheon since their release, others, for years, have been the victims of ignorance and carried less favourable reputations. Everyone respects the twin albums Changes One and Changes Two, recorded by the double bassist in 1974 at the head of a brand new quintet, during the same exact session. Propelled by the drums of the faithful Dannie Richmond, and featuring two newcomers to his galaxy, saxophonist George Coleman and pianist Don Pullen, these are traditionally recognised as his ultimate masterpieces. One of the great virtues of this compilation is that it allows us to appreciate the entire period with the benefit of hindsight, and appreciate the rest of his oeuvre. A few tracks deserve to be singled out: the freshness and bluesy charisma of Three or Four Shades of Blues, recorded by Mingus in 1977 at the head of an expanded band, features the talents of three young guitarists destined for greatness: Larry Coryell, Philip Catherine and John Scofield. The baroque luxuriance of the two long orchestral suites on the album Cumbia & Jazz Fusion, conveys subliminal dialogue between Duke Ellington and Nino Rota in a dreamy Latin context. The musician's last recording, the very moving Me Myself An Eye written and whilst confined to a wheelchair and obliged to accept the dual role of composer and supervisor of the session which, despite the conditions, vibrates throughout with an inextinguishable power of life. © Stéphane Ollivier/Qobuz

A Charlie Brown Christmas (Remastered & Expanded Edition)

Vince Guaraldi

Jazz - Released January 1, 1965 | Fantasy Records

Hi-Res Booklet
Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz called on pianist extraordinaire Vince Guaraldi and his trio to compose and perform music that would reflect the humor, charm, and innocence of Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and the entire Peanuts gang for their 1965 Christmas TV special. It was a perfect match: Guaraldi strings together elegant, enticing arrangements that reflect the spirit and mood of Schulz's work and introduce contemporary jazz to youngsters with grace, charm, and creativity. "What Child Is This" touches on cool jazz's richly textured percussive nuances, while "The Christmas Song" reflects Christmas' relaxing, mellow moments. The renowned "Linus and Lucy" gives the Peanuts characters a fresh, energetic feel with its tantalizing meter changes, brilliant percussion, and dashing, humorous piano lines. "Christmastime Is Here," perhaps the album's most endearing and eloquent moment, is six minutes of soft, lullaby-like melodic and percussive flavors. This collection of soul-soothing melodies would not be complete without the romantic gem "Skating," which blends musical references to falling snowflakes with the dashing feel of swing. Finally, the uplifting, emotionally stirring swing tune "Christmas Is Coming" really brings the listener into the joyous light of the Christmas spirit. Fred Marshall's alluring walking basslines and drummer Jerry Granelli's hauntingly beautiful brush work give most of the album a warm foundation, while Monty Budwig and Colin Bailey shine through with eminent dexterity on bass and drums on "Greensleeves." As for Guaraldi, his penetrating improvisational phrases paint pictures of the first winter snowfall, myriad glistening trees, and powdery white landscapes. With its blend of contemporary jazz and lyrical mannerisms, A Charlie Brown Christmas is a joyous and festive meditation for the holiday season.© Shawn Haney /TiVo

Morning Phase

Beck

Alternative & Indie - Released January 1, 2014 | Capitol Records (CAP)

Hi-Res Distinctions 4 étoiles Rock & Folk - Grammy Awards
Often pigeonholed as being prolific to a fault, Beck took an extended break from recording after the 2008 release of Modern Guilt. He kept himself busy, producing acclaimed albums for Charlotte Gainsbourg, Thurston Moore, and Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks, blowing off steam via his mischievous Record Club (an online series where he and his friends covered classic albums), and then easing back to original songwriting through the ambitious Song Reader project, a folio containing sheet music for 20 unrecorded songs. He also suffered a spinal injury in 2008, a fact not publicized until he was ready to release Morning Phase, his first album in six years, early in 2014. As Morning Phase is a slow, shimmering album deliberately in the vein of classic singer/songwriter LPs, it's easy to think of it as a pained, confessional sequel to Sea Change, the 2002 record written and recorded in the wake of a painful romantic breakup. Beck didn't shy away from these comparisons, calling it a "companion piece" to his acclaimed 2002 LP, and as "Morning" glimmers into view, sounding for all the world like "Golden Age," it almost seems as if Beck covered himself as part of the Record Club. Morning Phase soon develops its own distinct gait, one that's a little more relaxed than its cousin. Crucially, Beck has swapped sorrow for mere melancholy, a shift in attitude that makes this 2014 album sweeter than its predecessor, a distinction sometimes distinguished by moments where words, traditionally the sadness signifiers for sensitive troubadours, are washed away by cascading waves of candy-colored sound. Underneath this warm, enveloping aural blanket lie some sturdily constructed compositions -- the haunting "Heart Is a Drum," bringing to mind memories of Nick Drake; the loping country-rock "Say Goodbye" and its sister "Country Down"; "Blue Moon," where the skies part like the breaking dawn -- but the abiding impression left from this album is one of comfort, not despair, which makes Morning Phase distinctly different than its companion Sea Change.© Stephen Thomas Erlewine /TiVo

Iroko

Avishai Cohen

Jazz - Released May 5, 2023 | naïve

Hi-Res
In a duet with singer and percussionist Abraham Rodriguez Jr., the bassist Avishai Cohen is now fulfilling a lifelong ambition with the release of his Iroko. He has been passionate about Latin music since his arrival in New York in 1992, where he began to take lessons from the legendary Puerto Rican bassist Andy Gonzalez. It was during this period that Cohen also crossed paths with Rodriguez, who was playing in Ray Santiago’s (a salsa pianist) group. The two musicians immediately discovered elective affinities. Embarking on the career that we now know (Iroko is nothing less than his 20th record as a leader), the double bassist never lost contact with Rodriguez, who, during a break, became known as the one of the most sought-after percussionists and singers on the New York Latin scene. Determined to make public his love for this rich and complex musical tradition, Avishai Cohen, before leaving on tour at the head of a sextet made up of his favourite New York Latin musicians, could only take advantage of the opportunity to finally record this long-awaited brotherly duet with Rodriguez. With a varied repertoire combining traditional Yoruba tunes, popular Afro-Caribbean songs, and masterfully revisited US classics (from James Brown to Frank Sinatra), the two men draw their energies and references from a vast melting pot of genre-wide hybridizations from the New York Latin music scene. What resulted was a striking catalogue of grooves combining the heritage of Afro-Cuban traditions with elements of R'n'B, jazz, and Motown soul. Both minimalist and sumptuous, bursting with heady polyrhythms, subtle vocal harmonies, and potent melodies, Iriko's music is certainly rejuvenating. © Stéphane Ollivier/Qobuz

View With A Room

Julian Lage

Jazz - Released September 16, 2022 | Blue Note Records

Hi-Res
Recognised as a gifted guitarist from a very young age, Julian Lage’s reputation has not made him complacent, nor has he simply capitalised on his knowledge and virtuosity. Instead, he constantly challenges himself, exploring new horizons through unexpected collaborations (from Charles Lloyd to John Zorn!) and ever more ambitious personal projects. This new release comes barely a year after his previous album, Squint, which was the first he released under the prestigious Blue Note label and the first he recorded as part of a spectacular new ‘power trio’ (in which double bassist Jorge Roeder and drummer Dave King join Julian Lage and his guitar). View With A Room (again on Blue Note, with Lage leading the trio) is a record which sees the musicians expand their sonic aesthetic and explore new sound perspectives thanks to modern jazz icon Bill Frisell appearing on two-thirds of the tracks.On ten original compositions exploring all the stylistic registers of Americana (from bluegrass and blues through to modern jazz, folk and pop), the two guitarists gracefully weave their fluid phrasing together, creating deliciously complementary sonic textures and colours. The resulting sound is lush and skilfully paradoxical: both mournful and earthy, dreamlike and energetic. Masterfully orchestrated and arranged, it’s propelled by an inventive rhythm section and brought to life by two guitarists at the top of their game. This exceptional quartet, which is all about interaction and reactivity, has produced a beautiful record–hopefully the first of many. © Stéphane Ollivier/Qobuz

Crescent

John Coltrane

Jazz - Released July 1, 1964 | Impulse!

Hi-Res
John Coltrane's Crescent from the spring of 1964 is an epic album, showing his meditative side that would serve as a perfect prelude to his immortal work A Love Supreme. His finest quartet with McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison, and Elvin Jones supports the somewhat softer side of Coltrane, and while not completely in ballad style, the focus and accessible tone of this recording work wonders for anyone willing to sit back and let this music enrich and wash over you. While not quite at the "sheets of sound" unfettered music he would make before his passing in 1967, there are hints of this group stretching out in restrained dynamics, playing as lovely a progressive jazz as heard anywhere in any time period. The highlights come at the top with the reverent, ruminating, and free ballad "Crescent," with a patient Coltrane acquiescing to swinging, while the utterly beautiful "Wise One" is accented by the delicate and chime-like musings of Tyner with a deeply hued tenor from Coltrane unrushed even in a slight Latin rhythm. These are the ultimate spiritual songs, and ultimately two of the greatest in Coltrane's storied career. But "Bessie's Blues" and "Lonnie's Lament" are just as revered in the sense that they are covered by jazz musicians worldwide, the former a hard bop wonder with a classic short repeat chorus, the latter one of the most somber, sad jazz ballad reflections in a world full of injustice and unfairness -- the ultimate eulogy. Garrison and especially Jones are put through their emotional paces, but on the finale "The Drum Thing," the African-like tom-tom sounds extracted by Jones with Coltrane's sighing tenor, followed by some truly amazing case study-frantic snare drumming, makes it one to be revisited. In the liner notes, a quote from Leroi Jones/Amiri Baraka states John Coltrane was "daringly human," and no better example of this quality transferred to musical endeavor is available than on this definitive, must have album that encompasses all that he was and eventually would become.© Michael G.
