The 1960 version of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers (which consisted of the drummer/leader, trumpeter Lee Morgan, tenor saxophonist Wayne Shorter, pianist Bobby Timmons, and bassist Jymie Meritt) was very well documented. This 1996 CD releases for the first time music from the second half of a Geneva concert by the band. One can argue that these performances of "It's Only a Paper Moon," "'Round Midnight," Wayne Shorter's "The Summit," "A Night In Tunisia" and Timmons' "This Here" do not add that much to the Messengers' vast legacy, but the music is really too good for hard bop fans (even those with many other versions) to pass up. ~ Scott Yanow

Jazz Messengers Music Review Purchase Jazz Messengers CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Allman Brothers Band Dreams CDs (1989) Box Set
Jazz Messengers album
 $38.09   
DREAMS is a 4-CD box set compiling in chronological order tracks by the Allman Brothers Band, as well as tracks by bands featuring one or more member of the Allman Brothers Band and solo performances by Gregg Allman and Dickey Betts.
Recorded between 1966 & 1988. Includes a 32-page illustrated booklet and liner notes by John Swenson.
Like nearly all box sets, DREAMS has plenty to recommend it-and a few nagging drawbacks. The set's chief shortcoming is its two conflicting goals: providing an overview of the Allmans' history, thus attracting buyers seeking the ultimate hits package, and including enough unreleased tracks and rarities to appeal to the band's most devoted fans. As a result, DREAMS is neither the definitive Allman Brothers ...

Jazz Messengers album

Sonic Boom was not released until 1979 and then remained in print only for a brief time before eventually being reissued years later. In addition to the great trumpeter Lee Morgan and a fine rhythm section (pianist Cedar Walton, bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Billy Higgins), the well-rounded set is a bit special for it allows the often R&B-associated tenor David "Fathead" Newman an opportunity to stretch out in a more challenging setting ...

Jazz Messengers music CDs
$9.79 
John Scofield has turned the corner from journeyman jazz guitarist to become one of the most inventive and witty players on the contemporary scene. This date, his first for the Blue Note label, builds on a discography following several recordings for the Gramavision label, and also progresses this contemporary jazz music into an individualism that can only bode well for his future efforts. Teamed with the rising-star saxophonist Joe Lovano and the bulletproof rhythm team of bassist Charlie Haden and drummer Jack DeJohnette, Scofield is emerging as a player of distinction on the electric guitar, and a composer whose mirthful ideas add spark and vigor to his newfound musical setting. In this co-production with Peter Erskine, Sco has found his melodic stride in making music that is bright and clever without being overly intellectual, retaining a soulful quality enriched by the deep-rooted, bluesy tenor sax of Lovano. What is most refreshing is that this music has broken free of clich�s from the earlier original fusion movement, and what Scofield might have accomplished prior. "Farmacology" is an excellent example of this, more in the hard bop vein and echoing both ringing country twang and the unique voicings of Ornette Coleman. There's rambling neo-bop and good-time fun in the unison of guitar and tenor sax during "Wabash III," a lighter, elegant, but free and melodic tone in 6/8 time for "Flower Power," and squeaky clean, ...

Jazz Messengers album
$18.55
Friends of the Stars have never done things the easy way. Nor have they often gone the right way; at least, not before a couple of ambitious, ill-conceived or simply stubborn blind alleys have been ventured down first.That’s why the appearance of “Lighting & Electrical”, their first commercially available album, is such a minor miracle.Let’s start by admitting it has taken more than two years to release. The cool way of looking at this is they wrote, played, recorded, and produced the whole thing themselves... at home. They roped in expert technical expertise from kindly friends who gave of their time without charge... which kind of means you can’t tap your watch and look miffed at them all the time. Basically, it’s homegrown. And you don’t rush ‘homegrown’.The other way of looking at this - the less cool, “accurate” way of looking at this - is that Friends of the Stars can sometimes be guilty of being headstrong about things they later regret. Not tuning the guitars to a piano for the first two or three months of recording, rendering them utterly useless, is a good example of this.In truth, both the cool and less cool ways of looking at “Lighting and Electrical” are true. All opposite things co-exist in the world of Friends of the Stars - right and wrong, a strong work-ethic mixed with sloth, acoustic and electric, English and Scottish, Anglo-Saxon and Celtic, country and folk, rock and the roll ... hell, even male and female.The other thing FOTS comprises is a rare mix of songwriting savvy, vocal harmo-nies and honest musicianship. There’s nothing forced or flashy about FOTS - there never has been in their seven year history. There never was a need, when you can plug your guitar in, walk up to the microphone and start playing songs as good as “Old Souls” or “Been Down” or “Sharpening a Blade”. But the album’s ten tracks tell that story better than any words on any page can. This is the first album the band have released but each song has been filtered through seven years of literally hundreds of songs, countless gigs, different line-ups, different priorities, different goals. Just as a sideline - despite this wealth of material (little of which has been released until “Lighting & Electrical”) the band’s bloody-mindedness led to them playing four cover versions for their second John Peel Session in 2002. That’s “national radio” chaps, nati-o-nal ra-di-o!The trio that comprises FOTS - Craig Hamilton, Anna Russell and Cam Docherty - share out the singing and songwriting duties. But, despite the different voices, there’s a unity of sound and a unity of purpose.They hope you enjoy it.**********************************************************Commercially Inviable Since 2000 : The ...
