| | Sonny Rollins Volume 1 CD Sonny Rollins Discography of CDs
Sonny Rollins' Blue Note years produced some of the quintessential recordings of the post-bop era. The simply titled VOLUME ONE is one such disc that exemplifies the classic swinging quintet format that defined small ensemble performance style from then on. Expertly recorded by the legendary Rudy Van Gelder, Rollins and his men--a young Donald Byrd (trumpet), the masterful Wynton Kelly (piano), Gene Ramey (bass) and bebop pioneer Max Roach (drums)--display expert improvisational skills on the bluesy opener "Decision" and the hard-swinging "Bluesnote."
Sounding very much like the famed Miles Davis quintet of the same period, the soft ballad "How Are Things In Glocca Morra" is one of Rollins' most sentimental performances, with graceful support from Kelley. The no-nonsense style of Roach propels the group through the bouncy "Plain Jane," which echoes Rollins' own "Oleo." Finally, the smoking "Sonnysphere" is a fast-paced blowing session for the entire group that rounds out this disc with a bang.

Purchase Volume 1 CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Blakey, Art & The Jazz Messengers Indestructible CD (1965) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Volume 1 album
 $8.85  
Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers: Art Blakey (drums); Wayne Shorter (tenor saxophone); Lee Morgan (trumpet); Curtis Fuller (trombone); Cedar Walton (piano); Reggie Workman (bass).
Lee Morgan once again became part of the Jazz Messengers after replacing Freddie Hubbard, who left after replacing Morgan originally. The band is rounded out by pianist Cedar Walton, a steaming Wayne Shorter on tenor, Curtis Fuller on trombone, and bassist Reggie Workman with Art Blakey on the skins, of course. Indestructible is a hard-blowing blues 'n' bop date with Shorter taking his own solos to the outside a bit, and with Blakey allowing some of Fuller's longer, suite-like modal compositional work into the mix as well ("The Egyptian" ...

Volume 1 CD music
$8.99  
Given the date of this release and the band lineup, one might assume that this is a straight-up hard-bop album. However, this 1966 Joe Henderson record--featuring trumpeter Lee Morgan, trombonist Curtis Fuller, vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson, pianist Cedar Walton, bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Joe Chambers--is a great example of modern jazz at its best. ...

| | Richie Hart Blues In The Alley CD (2004)
Volume 1 music CDs
$13.25
Although Richie Hart has been around the East Coast jazz scene since the '70s and has a long list of sidemen credits, his output as a leader has been sporadic. Recorded in 2003, Blues in the Alley is the guitarist's third album as a leader and his first since 1991's Remembering Wes on Triloka. Remembering Wes was, as its title indicates, a tribute to Wes Montgomery -- and stylistically, Blues in the Alley picks up where Hart's second album left off. Hart is still a very Montgomery-influenced player (with a strong appreciation of early George Benson as well), and he is still a hard bopper who knows his soul-jazz (which is why he has been employed as a sideman by Jack McDuff, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Don Patterson and other famous organists). Blues in the Alley isn't the least bit groundbreaking, but it's a decent effort that illustrates ...

Volume 1 CD music
$13.69
After marking time with a live release, Terry Evans returns after four years with a studio collection that, while it doesn't explore new territory, revels in the gospel-laced rocking R&B that has always been his forte. Old friend Ry Cooder sits this one out again (he does contribute a terrific if slightly off-kilter love song in "My Baby Joined the Army"), but his influence is never far from the proceedings when Mark Shark, Joe Colombo, or especially ex-Cooder cohort David Lindley picks up a slide guitar. Evans plays some rhythm guitar and penned or co-wrote six of these 11 songs, including the stirring "Walkin' Chains," the album's longest and most intense piece. Here the swamp, religious, blues, R&B, and folk strains that appear throughout the disc collide in an explosive, moving ballad that builds to a shattering climax with Colombo's Cooder-ish guitar wailing away. There's plenty of party music, too, with the self-explanatory double entendre "I Got a Pony (She Likes to Ride)," the funky "Let's Get Gone," ...
