Review: After nearly three decades and almost 20 albums, Bill Charlap remains a paragon of jazz piano, with his trio - bassist Peter Washington and drummer Kenny Washington - standing as one of today's premier jazz groups. Their latest Blue Note release, And Then Again, recorded live at the Village Vanguard, harnesses the trio's extraordinary synergy and intuitive communication. The trio's has an unparalleled cohesion with sharp decision-making, and dynamic improvisations. The album highlights a blend of songbook classics and compositions by jazz greats, including the vibrant lead track, 'And Then Again' by Kenny Barron. Each performance moves from a calculated vision to a more spontaneous and intuitive approach. Years of critical acclaim and regular performances at the Vanguard have solidified their status, with Charlap's early experiences at the famed club fueling his passion. A thrilling and heartfelt live recording.

Review: Recorded during the same intense August 1960 sessions that produced another iconic album, this release showcases the brilliance of a hard-bop quintet, combining fiery improvisation with introspective ballads. The album opens with a standard tune that became a regular feature in the group's live sets, setting the stage for a collection of original compositions. Lee Morgan's 'Johnny Blue' stands out with its infectious blues line, while Wayne Shorter's compositionsiparticularly 'Sleeping Dancer Sleep On'ireveal his growing mastery of melody and complex chord changes. The track is a highlight, with lush, gospel-funky piano and a slow, stunning waltz rhythm. Shorter's 'Noise in the Attic' is a powerful drum showcase, allowing for blistering solos from the horns but placing special emphasis on the piano work. 'Giants', another Shorter composition, closes the album with a hard-bop anthem that keeps the energy high and steady throughout. While Blakey typically dominates with his high-energy drumming, here he takes a more restrained role, allowing the melodies to breathe. The synergy of the quintet is palpable, with Bobby Timmons' percussive piano providing a dynamic counterpoint to the horn lines.

Review: Blue Note reissue the drummer Art Blakey and his Jazz Messengers' time-honoured hard bop album Mosaic, often cited as among his best. From the titular opener to the seguing montage-worthy sequences of 'Arabia', 'Crisis' or 'Down Under', we're met with huge, extruding saxes and trombones, backed by Blakey's un-pin-downable drumming, evocative of huge towering New York skylines and crowd bustle; apparently, the album was so tightly performed it needed no alternate takes.

Review: Blue Lab Beats have got their game down when it comes to that neo-soul-meets-hip hop sound. They first stepped onto the radar around five years ago, and since have released two albums and a string of singles showing off a refined and fully realised sound. Think smoky Rhodes, laid back lyrical flows and beats deep in the pocket. Now Blue Note have snapped up the duo, and following a couple of singles last year they're back with their third album Motherland Journey. The message is enlightened and empowered, and the music just gets deeper with every passing bar. Check the guest list too, with Major9 and Kofi Stone, Emmavie and Ghetto Boy and so many more folding into this stunning opus from a duo you'd be mad to miss.

Booker Little 4 & Max Roach (Tone Poet Series) (180 gram audiophile vinyl LP)
Cat: 488194 8. Rel: 03 Oct 24
Jazz
Review: The reissue of Booker Little 4 & Max Roach as part of the Tone Poet Vinyl Series is an exciting announcement for jazz fans. Booker Little, a brilliant trumpeter whose life was tragically cut short at 23, left an indelible mark on the jazz world. This 1958 album, recorded when Little was just 20, showcases his extraordinary talent both as a musician and composer. The LP features the dynamic interplay between Little and Max Roach, one of jazz's most influential drummers, along with George Coleman on tenor sax, Tommy Flanagan on piano and Art Davis on bass. It opens with a spirited rendition of Miles Davis' 'Milestones', setting the tone for the session, before the standards 'Sweet and Lovely' and 'Moonlight Becomes You' are given fresh interpretations. But the heart of the album lies in Little's original compositions: 'Rounder's Mood,' 'Dungeon Waltz,' and 'Jewel's Tempo.' These tracks highlight his inventive melodic sense and technical strength. The Tone Poet Series ensures an audiophile-quality experience, with meticulous mastering by Kevin Gray and a deluxe presentation that lives up to the highest standards.

Review: Extension was the last of three unique Blue Note sessions led by the singular saxophonist George Braith in the early 1960s. The album was rooted in soul jazz - with Grant Green (guitar), Billy Gardner (organ), and Clarence Johnston (drums) - but Braith's adventurous spirit led the music into unexpected realms on memorable originals like "Nut City." Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series is all-analogue, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Optimal.

The Waiting Game (Tone Poet Series) (reissue) (gatefold 180 gram audiophile vinyl LP)
Cat: 893419. Rel: 29 Jan 21
Jazz
Review: Tina Brooks' final album was one of his most underrated. The tenor saxophonist really brought the goodness on The Waiting Game, which she record din 1961 but did not put out until 1999. The undervalued player might have played a big part in the hard bop era but only one of his Blue Note sessions ever made it out. Here he is joined by Johnny Coles on trumpet, Kenny Drew on piano, Wilbur Ware on bass, and Philly Joe Jones on drums, and wrote five of the six tunes himself. It's a soulful sound with highlights like modal masterpieces 'Dhyana' and 'David the King.'

Review: Tina Brooks is actually the name that American tenor sax man Harold Floyd "Tina" Brooks went by. He was a hard bop pioneer active from the 50s onwards and he recorded with But Note between '58 and 61 with sidemen such as Kenny Burrell, Freddie Hubbard and Jimmy Smith. He recorded five albums for the label but many came after his death. Not True Blue, though, which came at the same time as his Blue Note debut, Open Sesame. it wasn't actively promoted but has since got plenty of appreciation from fans and critics alike.

Review: Brother Jack McDuff's Moon Rappin is one of those records which sets off a thousand sample-spots. The prolific jazz man made an incredibly catchy kind of jazz funk on this record, with the title track making for something of a peak of the genre in its cool and deadly groove. It's got soul for days and plenty of compositional chops to keep you locked in for the duration. Equally, if you're looking for hot breaks, they're smattered all over this record thanks to Joe Dukes holding it down on the skins and McDuff working his magic on the organ. A timeless classic, repressed by the good folk at Blue Note with their high quality standards present and correct.

Review: The incomparable trumpeter Clifford Brown recorded two leader sessions for Blue Note in 1953 - a co-led quintet date with Lou Donaldson and his own sextet date - that were compiled on the 12" Memorial album, shortly after his tragic death in 1956. Brownie's star burns bright from the blistering 'Cherokee' to the stunning ballad 'Easy Living'. This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is mono, all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.

Jazz
Review: The Tone Poet series from Blue Note continues apace with this reissue of Kenny Burrell's masterful self-titled album. As guitarists go, Burrell has a sound which dances with nimble eloquence few could even dream of matching. Hear him cavorting across 'Be Happy' and it's quite hard to imagine the notes were played by human hands. Despite that, it's also a wonderfully delicate, rounded sound which more than makes it worthy of an entry into this series - just marvel at that tone, captured across a variety of spots in New York in the spring of '56.

Review: The Tone Poet series from Blue Note recently reissued legendary American guitarist Kenny Burrell's self-titled album, which was recorded in 1956 across several of New York's finest venues. Now it looks to his KB Blues album which came a year later and was his third session as a Blue Note label leader in the studio of legendary producer Rudy Van Gelder in New Jersey. His signature playing style comes to the fore with Horace Silver on piano, Hank Mobley on tenor saxophone, Doug Watkins on bass, and Louis Hayes on drums. The album features their take on Silver's 'Nica's Dream' and Burrell's 'Out for Blood' plus two different takes of Burrell's easy-going 'K.B Blues.' A really swinging set.

Review: The great and hugely prolific Donald Byrd dropped many seminal albums both solo and with his Byrds and 'Byrd's Eye View', arriving now on Blue Note's Tone Poet Series which is renowned for its audiophile-grade vinyl reissues, is one of them that makes for a captivating jazz journey. With Byrd's virtuosity and innovation shining throughout, the album showcases his signature blend of hard bop and soulful melodies.

Review: This is a very special release indeed, for fans of Donald Byrd's 70s period and Blue Note devotees of all types. There was a heavy presence from the Blue Note roster at the 1973 Montreux Jazz Festival, and many of the performances were released under the Live Cookin With Blue Note at Montreux banner - Bobby Hutcherson, Bobbi Humphrey and Marlena Shaw being some notable mentions. But this set from Donald Byrd inexplicably sat on master tapes in relative obscurity for a long time and now, on what would have been Byrd's 90th birthday, this raw and urgent live performance gets a proper release. It's in the vein of his seminal Black Byrd LP, but there's a more direct attack from the band in their live form - take one listen and you'll see exactly what we mean.

Review: Jazz trumpet legend Donald Byrd has one of those seemingly endless discography that takes in solo and group albums and is full of treasure that is well worth exploring no matter your particularly stylistic penchant. 1963's A New Perspective is a landmark album that brings gospel and soul elements into his usual jazz sound. It features a stellar lineup including Herbie Hancock and Hank Mobley and the centerpiece is the iconic 'Cristo Redentor,' a soulful composition that showcases Byrd's lyrical trumpet playing. With its fusion of genres, the album broke new ground and paved the way for future jazz explorations that Pitchfork have said is one of the best albums of the 1960s. Byrd's innovative approach and the ensemble's tight chemistry make that so.

Review: Donald Byrd's 1967 Slow Drag album came after the jazz legend had already recorded more than dozen albums for the seminal Blue Note label. He was joined for it by the drumming of Billy Higgins, alto saxophonist Sonny Red, pianist Cedar Walton, and bassist Walter Booker who all bring their own original compositions to the album. It's a pure hard bop session that marked the end of this chapter of Byrd's sound before he moved into fusion territory. Plenty of edgy groove-fess, ad-libbed vocals and boss flavours feature on what is one of many Byrd essentials.

Review: Recorded in 1956 for producer Tom Wilson's Transition Records, Byrd Blows on Beacon Hill presents trumpeter Donald Byrd in a relaxed quartet setting. Joined by Doug Watkins on bass, Boston-area musicians Ray Santisi on piano and Jim Zitano on drums, Byrd delivers a standards-heavy set recorded on a rainy spring afternoon in the Beacon Hill home of engineer Steve Fassett. This casual atmosphere contributes to the album's easygoing charm and intimate feel. Highlights include Byrd's lyrical rendition of Joe Sullivan's 'Little Rock Getaway' and beautiful interpretations of 'Polka Dots and Moonbeams,' 'If I Love Again,' and 'Stella by Starlight.' The trumpeter steps back on tracks like 'People Will Say We're in Love' and 'What's New,' allowing the trio to really shine.

Royal Flush (Classic Vinyl Series) (reissue) (180 gram audiophile vinyl LP)
Cat: 650076 5. Rel: 17 Oct 24
Jazz
Review: Donald Byrd's Royal Flush, released in 1961 on Blue Note, exemplifies his mastery of hard bop, featuring a stellar lineup that includes a young Herbie Hancock on piano, Pepper Adams on baritone sax, Butch Warren on bass, and Billy Higgins on drums. This album marks Hancock's recording debut, showcasing his burgeoning talent as he steps into the shoes of Duke Pearson. The combination of Byrd's trumpet and Adams' baritone sax creates a unique, textured harmony that is both bold and refined. Tracks like 'Hush' and 'Shangri-La' highlight the band's cohesive interplay, with solos that are both distinct and beautifully integrated into the compositions. 'Requiem,' a standout piece penned by Hancock, offers a mid-tempo, gospel-tinged piano blues that allows Hancock to explore melodic space, supported by Byrd and Adams' plaintive lines and Warren's resonant bowed bass solo. What sets Royal Flush apart is Byrd's understated leadership, allowing each musician to shine while maintaining a unified sound. The result is an album rich in melody, brimming with the synergy of seasoned players and a young, innovative pianist on the rise.

Review: Donald Byrd's Kofi, part of the esteemed Tone Poet Vinyl Series, presents a compelling snapshot of the trumpeter's transition from hard bop to fusion. Recorded in December 1969 and December 1970 but only released in 1995, this LP captures Byrd at a pivotal moment in his career, straddling the line between traditional jazz and the emerging fusion genre. The 1969 session features Byrd's originals 'Kofi' and 'Fufu,' with Duke Pearson's electric piano adding a shimmering layer to the complex arrangements. The ensemble includes notable musicians such as Lew Tabackin on flute and tenor saxophone, Frank Foster on tenor saxophone, William Campbell on trombone, Ron Carter on acoustic bass among other strong musicians. The 1970 session continues this exploration with tracks like 'Perpetual Love' and 'Elmina,' featuring Wally Richardson on guitar and Mickey Roker on drums, along with Moreira and Dom Um Romao adding percussion. This reissue, curated by Joe Harley and mastered by Kevin Gray from the original analog tapes, is pressed on 180g vinyl and housed in a deluxe tip-on jacket.

Review: Sonny Clark's Cool Struttin' album is a jazz classic. The artist himself shone bright for a brief but intense period of creativity, much like greats before him such as Charlie Parker and Fats Navarro. His intricate playing and hard swing mentality makes for music filled with nuance and detail but sadly he never got the recognition he deserved during his short life (he died aged 31). He put out seven records in all on Blue Note and played with the likes of John Coltrane and Donald Byrd. This memorable session was recorded by Rudy Van Gelder and features a quintet made up of altoist Jackie McLean, trumpeter Art Farmer, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Philly Joe Jones.
