A Charlie Brown Christmas (Soundtrack) (Gold Foil Edition) (heavyweight vinyl LP in embossed sleeve)
Cat: 724102 8. Rel: 16 Sep 22
Soundtracks
Review: A Charlie Brown Christmas is a stone cold classic Christmas album that now comes with a specially festive gold sleeve. What's here has the air of a sophisticated evening spent enjoying slow drinks in a late night jazz bar. It's sexy and refined stuff, laidback to the point where you can almost see the flames in the fireplace, resulting shadows dancing off the walls. Yes, 'Skating' is far more uptempo, and both 'Hark, The Herald Angels Sing' and 'Christmas Time Is Here' take us to school age Yuletide plays with their vocal choirs. But, on the whole, this might be the most tasteful festive album we'll ever get. So dig in.

Review: Here's a masterclass in live jazz recordings, widely considered one of the best of all time and with very good reason. Bill Evans sat down at the piano for five consecutive sets at the Village Vanguard in New York on June 25 1961, joined by drummer Paul Motian and bassist Scott LaFaro (who died just 11 days later). Due to LaFaro's death, the album was put together as a tribute of sorts, bookended by LaFaro's own compositions and with other tracks selected to celebrate his outstanding playing. Other albums such as Waltz For Debby have since drawn on material from these sessions, but this original set remains the unrivalled pinnacle of live sets from Evans.

Review: The legendary Yusef Lateef is a jazz great, a true innovator and artist with several seminal albums to his name. His famous 'Eastern Sounds' was one of the last recordings made by the band shared with pianist Barry Harris. With the demise of their playing relationship coming to an end, the album is a spiritual journey through tonal and polytonal improv, building on the musical expertise of the far East and appropriating it for jazz. It's a historic album that captures a special moment in his career and still stands out as a vital listen.

Thelonious Monk With John Coltrane (180 gram vinyl LP with obi-strip)

Jazz
Review: As part of the newly relaunched Original Jazz Classics Series, Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio has remastered this seminal jazz record from Thelonius Monk and John Coltrane from the original tapes and in all analog fashion. It's a deserving treatment for what many believe to be one of the great ever collaborative jazz records. As well as those two legendary players and jazz innovators, further greats joined in the recording sessions including Art Blakey on the drums, Wilbur Ware on bass, and alto sax from Gigi Gryce. What a piece of history it is too.

Review: Know What I Mean? is a sublime collaboration between two jazz giants. Released in 1961, it showcases the unparalleled musical chemistry between Adderley's exuberant alto saxophone and Evans' masterful piano. With tracks like 'Waltz for Debby' and 'Elsa,' it blends lyrical melodies with inventive improvisation to mesmerise the mind while Adderley's dynamic energy contrasts beautifully with Evans' introspective style. That captivating interplay highlights the best of both musicians and means this album is a timeless gem in the jazz canon that is rightfully celebrated for its sophistication.

Review: The one and only Sun Ra recorded a wealth of seminal albums that took jazz into all new realms. One of them was The Futuristic Sounds Of Sun Ra and it is now 60 years old. To mark the occasion it gets a special anniversary reissue which maids us just how groundbreaking it was. This version features an all-analog re-mastering by Kevin Gray, plus Tom Wilson's original liner note and new essays by jazz historian Ben Young. It was first recorded in just one intense day and features a Latin-influenced opener, 'Bassism,' the bluesy 'Of Sounds and Something Else,' and plenty of other gems.

Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde: 30th Anniversary Edition (clear with purple & yellow splattered vinyl 2xLP + insert with obi-strip (indie exclusive))
Cat: 724457 1. Rel: 09 Feb 23
Hip Hop/R&B
Review: The Pharcyde are like a rap group from bizarro-world, known to the public for decades thanks to their cheeky lyricism and light-footed beats and rhymes, as well as the occaisional out of this world video. First out in 1992, Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde smells distinctly of Los Angeles - this was the period in which Cypress Hill also emerged - indulging in vinyl-textured beats and speakerphoney lyrics, almost mocking the sounds of contemporary artists like the Beastie Boys or De La Soul from a 'realer' perspective. The production on this classic album is cheerful, audiophilic and advanced, portraying a freak ride in their purpose-built rap theme park.

Review: Reissued via Craft now, after a long run with Art Blakey's original issuers Riverside Records, Caravan is the first record by the drummer to be released in 1963. With Freddie Hubbard on trumpet, Wayne Shorter on sax, Curtis Fuller on trombone, Cedar Walton on piano and Reggie Workman on bass, Blakey commands a fiery, banging temper on this eight-track record, yet somehow still makes such carpal explosives flow like poetry. The album's most notable element is that Blakey finds immense joy in subtly variating around difficult, tupletting riffs, which nonetheless go on to produce discernible and well-rounded progressions. We wouldn't expect anything less from the master.

Review: The music of David Axelrod is a rite of passage for many record collectors. The great composer, arranger and multi-instrumentalists crafted several seminal albums that all take you deep into gorgeous worlds of jazz, funk and library music with narratives you'd expect in film scores and emotion in high supply. Heavy Axe might be one of his best and so this welcome reissue is a timely reminder of that. Its sweeping strings, grand horns and orchestral arrangements ebb and flow with great drama and absorbing artistry so stick it on loud and give yourself over to its rare pleasures.

Review: Bernard Purdie's Purdie Good! album is a cult classic of the funk world. Perdie is one of the most recorded rummers of his era and played on countless great records by everyone from Aretha Franklin to Steely Dan. His famous shuffling style also gave rise to a few solo sessions, one of which was this one. It was recorded by legendary engineer and audio obsessive Rudy Van Gelder in 1971 at his famous studio and mixes sup some of his own stylish originals next to his signature covers of the hits of the day. The take on James Brown's 'Cold Sweat' is a real standout. This reissue was cut from the original analog tapes by Kevin Gray.

Apocryphon (10th Anniversary Edition) (limited gatefold 180 gram yellow marbled vinyl LP)
Cat: 724558 7. Rel: 15 Dec 22
Psych/Garage Rock
Review: Announcing their amicable break up in October of this year, it only seems fitting to commemorate the Texas stoner-doom rock heroes after almost two decades of service with a ten-year anniversary reissue of their excellent fourth full-length, Apocryphon. Their first album following the departure of founding drummer, Trivett Wingo, and the arrival of his replacement, Santiago "Jimmy" Vela III; the project marked a departure from the preciseness of its predecessor, 2010's fan-favourite, 'Warp Riders', in favour of a looser, more mid-tempo approach, whilst maintaining their signature groove and heft. What resulted was an endlessly cavernous collection of stompers falling somewhere between Sleep and Black Sabbath, but with a sliver of Thin Lizzy melody.

Review: Following the muted reception to 1998's predominantly electronic based Up, alt rock giants REM opted to return to a more traditional style of songcraft with their 2001 follow up Reveal. While still relying on a bevvy of glistening synths, the material exuded a retrofitted approach to their dynamic songwriting, with primary songwriter Michael Stipe rediscovering his creative purpose and voice, even as recently as 2021, referring to the work as his personal favourite of the band's output. Best known for the latter day essential contribution to their back catalogue; 'Imitation Of Life', the project also boasts lush opener 'The Lifting', which served as a prequel to 'Daysleeper' from their preceding LP, as well as standout cut 'Disappear', which came from Stipe's motivating Thom Yorke of Radiohead to overcome his stage fright. This in turn led to the Kid A track 'How To Disappear Completely', which reverted back to Stipe penning his own musical articulation of his communing with Yorke. More than two decades on, this often overlooked gem couldn't be more deserving of a reissue and refreshed ears.

Review: Legendary jazz drummer Idris Muhammad really made his mark with his debut album Black Rhythm Revolution! for the Prestige label in 1970. Originally recorded at celebrated Rudy Van Gelder studio in Englewood Cliffs, it is bookend by length tunes 'By the Red Sea' and 'Wander' which feature tight grooves, compact solos and memorable melodies. It is not as intense of some of his later work and features the likes of Virgil Jones on trumpet Clarence Thomas on tenor and soprano saxophone and Jimmy Lewis on electric bass. Craft present this reissue with original artwork on nice 180 g limited edition vinyl.

Review: Here's a reissue of the 13th studio album by REM, one of the most influential bands of the 1980s and 1990s. More introspective and political than their previous albums, Around The Sun also contains guest appearances from the likes of Q-Tip and Patti Smith, making for a heartfelt and prescient album of its time, be it critical of subjects as violent as the Iraq War or as ephemeral as the passage of time. An initially lukewarm reception might've dealt it a blow, but REM diehards will undeniably still be chomping at the bit.

Review: Following the lukewarm reception to 2004's Around The Sun, the members of R.E.M. opted to take a radically different approach to album craft than they had done in the two preceding decades. Live testing the material over a five-night residency in Dublin's Olympia Theatre, before splitting recording sessions over three weeks in three cities, the resulting fourteenth studio effort Accelerate lived up to its title by reflecting the hectic recording schedule with their most guitar-driven, angst-riddled work in an age. Working with producer Jacknife Lee at the behest of U2's The Edge, the record would be the last from the band supported by a tour, with their 2011 swansong follow up Collapse Into Now receiving no live promotion.

Review: Revered jazz guitarist Wes Montgomery originally released Full House in 1962, and it became one of his most popular albums. Recorded live at Tsubo coffee house in Berkeley, California, the classic LP showcased particular selections from his performance which became hugely influential thanks to Montgomery's distinctive, expressive tone. Now Craft have gathered together all the original analogue tapes to present a definitive edition of the album spread across three discs, including some alternate takes recorded during the hybrid recording session and concert. After his untimely passing in 1968, Montgomery's playing became a source of fascination for successive generations of jazz guitarists, and here, laid out in comprehensive fashion, is the reason why.

Review: The Black Hawk Vol. 1 by Shelly Manne & His Men is a classic hard bop album that captures the energy and excitement of a live performance. Originally released in 1960 and now in 2024 with stunning sound quality. The album features a dynamic band led by the legendary drummer Shelly Manne, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest jazz drummers of all time. The group also includes tenor saxophonist Richie Kamuca, trumpeter Joe Gordon, pianist Victor Feldman, and bassist Monty Budwig. The album opens with a laid-back rendition of "Summertime," which sets the stage for the more up-tempo bop tunes that follow. The band swings with effortless precision, and the solos are all top-notch. At The Black Hawk Vol. 1" is a must-listen for any fan of hard bop or jazz in general.

Review: Award-winning American jazz pianist Hampton Hawes joins forces with Barney Kessel on guitar, Red Mitchell on double bass and Shelly Manne on drums pn this 1956 release that has since been dubbed a jazz classic. With performances that have been described as perfect all round, each song is a progressive epic that feels like its own organic sphere, the instruments communicating to each other from across the room, the microphone placed right next to the piano - the session being recorded in the golden era of stereo channel separation - as Hawes absolutely demolishes the keys unlike anything you've ever heard. The control is unparalleled in the way he occasionally holds a note, briefly pauses or just plays at blinding speeds. Truly an ace of all trades when it comes to jazz piano mastery.

Review: For all but the most ardent followers of jazz and diehard Miles Davis fans, it can be hard to keep up with the many different albums he put out alongside his Quintet. That Quintet, often said to be the greatest in all of jazz history thanks to including Miles on trumpet next to John Coltrane on tenor, Red Garland on keys, bass from Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones on drums, put out several long players with very similar titles including this one, Miles: The New Miles Davis Quintet, in 1956. It is one of the earlier works from the then newly formed band and the songs in it are a mix of pop and jazz standards.

Review: The indestructible Ray Barretto demonstrated superb skills on this record back in 1973. His band were at the forefront of the new Afro-Cuban musical movement that was emerging and became known as salsa. His composer skills were well known after he wrote 'Cocinando' and his band were also much loved in the live area though Johnny Rodriguez on bongo and cencerro, bassist Dave Perez, pianist Louis Cruz, along with trumpeter Rene Lopez and vocalist Adalberto Santiago all left him soon after. HIs Indestructible album is his most remarkable, with a constant sense of flow to the rhythms from front to back.

La Gran Fuga: The Big Break (reissue) (limited 180 gram vinyl LP + poster)
Cat: 725603 4. Rel: 11 Apr 24
International
Review: Craft Latino's vinyl reissue of Willie Colon and Hector Lavoe's 1970 album La Gran Fuga is a welcome revival of one of Latin music's most iconic collaborations. Newly remastered and pressed on 180-gram vinyl, this release allows listeners to experience the brilliance of Colon and Lavoe's sixth album in all its glory. With classics like 'Barrunto,' 'Pa' Colombia,' and 'Abuelita,' 'La Gran Fuga' presents the duo's unparalleled creativity and commercial success. Backed by a talented lineup of musicians overseen by Johnny Pacheco, Colon and Lavoe push the boundaries of salsa music, incorporating diverse musical traditions and delivering dance-floor hits alongside emotive ballads. The album's iconic cover art, featuring Colon's "Malo" alter-ego in an FBI wanted poster, adds to its cultural significance. Despite initial controversy, La Gran Fuga became a massive success, earning the duo their second Gold certification and solidifying their place in Latin music history. Retrospectively praised as "essential music" and lauded for its confidence and flexibility, La Gran Fuga remains a shining emblem of the Colon/Lavoe musical aesthetic. As listeners revisit these timeless tracks, they're reminded of the duo's remarkable talent and enduring legacy.

Review: American jazz vocalist Abbey Lincoln recorded her standout album Abbey Is Blue in 1959. It was for the Riverside label and was her fourth overall, but was arguably her most accomplished work and the one that really broke her through. It is packed with remarkable vocal performances that show great control and an ability to go from tender and quiet to visceral and potent. The Civil Rights movement was just around the corner which no doubt fuelled Lincoln's fire as she performed a stunning suite of songs that deal in sorrow, loss and injustice.

Vandals' signature blend of humour and melody synchs nicely with their status as pop-punkers whom to find out about requires a little bit more digging than normal. This reissue celebrates the 25th anniversary of the album and comes with an alternate cover art and a white and blue splattered vinyl.

Review: Originally released in 1960, Harold Land's Fox has not been reissued since 1969; this Craft Recordings reissue is long overdue. The tenor saxophonist delivers six fast-paced hard bop dazzlers here, flaunting an ultra-speedy take on the already high-velocity sound. Aside from the obvious talents of Land, the listener will be equally impressed by the inclusion of St. Elmo Hope in the Land band as pianist, lending an extra-special dimension to this challenging, whimsical, but still breezy album.
