Herbie Hancock- CLP7050-1 Takin' Off - His Blue Note debut, is a sophisticated showcase for Hancock’s ability as a group leader. Not as intellectually challenging or technically complex as his later recordings, the pianist nevertheless displays a restless imagination and technical verve. When he’s not striking off on funky, swinging solos, the backing chords are restrained and unassuming. He’s controlling the session and confident enough to let his soloists (Freddie Hubbard on trumpet and Dexter Gordon on tenor sax—both in fine, relaxed form) take the spotlight. From the now-legendary hit “Watermelon Man” to the reflective, noir-ish “Alone and I,” this is a great first album that foreshadows the greatness that would follow on his Blue Note masterworks, Empyrean Isles, and Maiden Voyage.

Wes Montgomery - CLP8672 California Dreaming. Like most of Montgomery’s Verve LPs, California Dreaming features arrangements by Don Sebesky. Sebesky used a large group of 19 players to produce an immense sound. Unlike the subdued, string accented Bumpin, California Dreaming is a brassy, bouncy affair (with definite emphasis on bounce!). The album features many fine soloists, including Herbie Hancock on piano, Bucky Pizzarelli on acoustic guitar, Ray Baretto on percussion, and the steady backbeat of Grady Tate on drums.
This album is a must have for all music lovers, and now with superior all-analog mastering and silent 180-gram vinyl it’s a treat for the audiophile as well!

Art Pepper - Meets The Rhythm Section - 45RPM 2LP Set - "Blazing 1958 session with the West Coast alto saxophonist Art Pepper, at the height of his fluency, joining up with Miles Davis' rhythm section of the day (Red Garland, Paul Chambers, and Philly Joe Jones). The band rips through the sheets in a way we don't hear on the pressure-cooking Miles sessions. Roy DuNann's minimalist miking yields an eerily realistic sound. The sounds burst out of your speakers, yet lay back when they're supposed to, too." - Fred Kaplan, The Absolute Sound, December 2005 (included in Kaplan's "Best-Sounding Jazz LPs")

Lou Donaldson - Blues Walk
EMI BST 81593-Stereo-200G
An alto player originally deep-rooted in bop, who by the late fifties was beginning to shed his Charlie Parker influences and take a more bluesy/soul approach. Blues Walk, from a one-day session in July of ‘58 has attained unanimous five-star status with the title track itself becoming one the leader’s signature tunes. Surrounding himself not with the usual all-stars found on many Blue Note dates from this period, Donaldson carefully chose his cohorts personally for their cohesiveness as a unit. Never one to engage frequently in wide-open “blowing sessions”, the results are powerful yet melodic and in one case, “Autumn Nocturne”, fairly romantic without causing full-blown diabetes. Pianist Herman Foster’s intense pianistics almost steal the show while Peck Morrison’s bass and the often-overlooked Dave Bai! ley’s d rumming augment to perfection. The addition of Ray Barretto’s congas (a regular on many of Donaldson’s sessions from this period) is tasteful and a nice touch without turning every song into a Latin re-write
