If you are a jazz organ fan and you have never heard of Jimmy Smith's SIX VIEWS OF THE BLUES, don't worry. This 1958 Blue Note session went unreleased for 40 years before reissue king Michael Cuscuna uncovered it. Why this sizzling disc waited so long to see the light of day is a mystery. Smith's powerful blues chops and the collective power of his guests warrant this disc be considered an immediate classic. No less than Cecil Payne, Kenny Burrell, and Art Blakey (also Donald Bailey) join Smith for one of the most down-home swinging blues sessions that Smith ever laid down. Included are the classic "St. Louis Blues," here at a lazy shuffle pace, and "The Swinging Shepherd Blues," which is taken as a light and airy bounce. The focus of the session is the blues tracks numbered 1-4 that range from a crisp jaunt ("No. 1"), a melancholy mope ("No. 3"), a sizzling burner ("No. 4"), and a swinging stomp ("No. 2"). No Smith fan should be without this one. Now that it finally exists, you won't have to.

The same personnel who performed on Grant Green's classic IDLE MOMENTS session in November 1963 reconvened for Bobby Hutcherson's first recording as a leader one month later. THE KICKER, however, was never released and waited more than 35 years to see the light of day. Thanks to reissue king Michael Cuscuna, ...

Having quit his longtime gig with the Rippingtons in early 1999 to focus on his own career, saxman Jeff Kashiwa's Native Language debut, Another Door Opens, is a true sink or swim proposition. Fortunately, he's not totally a babe in the woods; he has a legion of loyal Rippingtons fans who might be curious to check out his new stuff, as well as the smaller following of his own band, Coastal Access, built over preceding years while doing numerous gigs in Southern California. More importantly, the saxman brings two crucial legacies from his tenure with the Ripps: first, the tutelage of mentor Russ Freeman and, second, the forging of an amazing creative partnership with Ripps keyboardist Dave Kochanski, who co-produced Another Door Opens and wrote four songs, including the brassy, swaying retro-funk-flavored "Hyde Park (The 'Ah, Ooh' Song)" on which Kashiwa winds a catchy lead melody over flowing brass embellishments, an infectious, soaring female backing vocals, and reoccurring snappy acoustic guitar licks from Marc Antoine.
While he's becoming a better sax player on all three saxes across the board, the real test of his solo future lies in his ability to compose strong melodies over today's popular urban shuffle grooves. On "Power of Midnight," he floats an emotional and wistful soprano melody over the thick, throbbing bass of Melvin Davis and clicking drums of Ricky Lawson. While most of his ...
