Personnel: Booker Ervin (tenor saxophone); Booker Ervin; Jan Arnet (double bass); Woody Shaw (trumpet); Kenny Barron (piano); Billy Higgins (drums).
Liner Note Author: Michael Cuscuna.
Recording information: Van Gelder Studios, Englewood Cliffs, NJ (06/24/1968).
Tex Book Tenor was recorded in 1968 as a follow-up to Booker Ervin's debut date for Blue Note, The In Between, which was released in January of the same year. (Ervin had made two records for Pacific Jazz, which is now owned, like Blue Note, by EMI.) The album remained unreleased until 1976, when it was issued with an also unreleased Horace Parlan date on a double LP called Back from the Gig. This is its first appearance on CD. The lineup is stellar and includes Billy Higgins, Woody Shaw, Kenny Barron, and bassist Jan Arnet from Czechoslovakia. Barron and Ervin had worked together before, and Arnet had worked with Ervin three years earlier as a touring partner in Germany. The music here includes three Ervin originals, Barron's wonderful "Gichi," and Shaw's "In a Capricornian Way." The Afro-Latin-influenced ...
| | Dexter Gordon Clubhouse CD (1965) Remastered
Stitt Goes Green
$8.29
Recorded in 1965, but not released until 1990.
Personnel: Dexter Gordon (tenor saxophone); Freddie Hubbard (trumpet); Barry Harris (piano); Ben Tucker, Bob Cranshaw (bass instrument); Billy Higgins (drums).
Audio Remasterer: Rudy Van Gelder.
While Lester Young was indeed dubbed the "Prez" of the jazz tenor saxophone by Billie Holiday, a case could be made for Dexter Gordon to be considered Chairman of the Board. One of the very first tenor saxophonists to incorporate the innovations of Charlie Parker into his approach, Gordon influenced generations of sax-masters, including Sonny Rollins and John Coltrane. Like that other chairman, ...

The song titles of LIQUID SWORDS do not appear in order on the CD package.
Often acclaimed as the best Wu-Tang solo project of all, Liquid Swords cemented the Genius/GZA's reputation as the best pure lyricist in the group -- and one of the best of the '90s. Rich in allusions and images, his cerebral, easy-flowing rhymes are perhaps the subtlest and most nuanced of any Wu MC, as underscored by his smooth, low-key delivery. The Genius' eerie calm is a great match for RZA's atmospheric production, which is tremendously effective in this context; the kung fu dialogue here is among the creepiest he's put on record, and he experiments quite a bit with stranger sounds and more layered tracks. Not only is RZA in top form, but every Clan member makes at least one appearance on the album, making it all the more impressive that Liquid Swords clearly remains the Genius' showcase throughout. All of his collaborators shape themselves to his quietly intimidating style, giving Liquid Swords a strongly consistent tone and making it an album that gradually slithers its way under your skin. Mixing gritty story-songs and battle rhymes built on elaborate metaphors (martial arts and chess are two favorites), the Genius brings his lyrical prowess to the forefront of every track, leaving no doubt about how he earned his nickname. Creepily understated tracks like "Liquid Swords," "Cold World," "Investigative Reports," and "I Gotcha Back" are the album's bread and butter, but there's the occasional lighter moment ("Labels" incorporates the names of as many record companies as possible) and spiritual digression ("Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth"). Overall, though, Liquid Swords is possibly the most unsettling album in the Wu canon (even ahead of Ol' Dirty Bastard), and it ranks with Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) and Raekwon's Only Built 4 Cuban Linx as one of the group's undisputed classics. ~ Steve Huey
