Liner Note Author: Raymond Mouly.
Simply put, this is Collectables' issue of two fine, early Atlantic recordings by MJQ. While it's true that Lonely Woman might have been better served aesthetically by being paired with the brilliant self-titled debut for the label instead of The Comedy, these two offerings were basically in chronological order and released in 1962. The Comedy is notable for its deep consideration of both the theater and of classical music while remaining firmly in the jazz canon, and to a lesser degree, for the appearance of Diahann Caroll (yes, the actress) on "La Cantatrice." The latter album, with the quartet's haunting read of Ornette Coleman's "Lonely Woman," is all killer, no filler; it's one of the most exploratory recordings the band did together and stands among their finest outings.

Live Recording
2 LPs on 1 CD: WARMING UP!/INTERLUDE.
Personnel: Doug Watkins, Henry Grimes (bass instrument).
Warming Up! collects two trio albums recorded by pianist Billy Taylor in 1960-1961, the first under the same title, the second Interlude. On the first 12 pieces he's joined by bassist Henry Grimes and drummer Ray Mosca, on the later 11, Doug Watkins takes Grimes' place. The similar setup and personnel mean that both albums flow together as a piece, though each carries a separate mood owing to the albums' different conceptions. Warming ...
| | Duke Ellington Afro Bossa CD (1963)
Comedy/Lonely Woman
$9.95  
Personnel includes: Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn, Cat Anderson, Jimmy Hamilton, Johnny Hodges.
Liner Note Author: Stanley Dance.
By the beginning of the 1960s, Duke Ellington and his faithful collaborator, Billy Strayhorn, had been exposed to many different cultures throughout the world, influences heavily reflected in the compositions on AFRO BOSSA. Ellington had been seeking new musical pastures for some time, and his signing with Frank Sinatra's Reprise imprint provided some of the impetus for this 1962 release, one the first fruits of his and Strayhorn's labors for the new label. However, no matter how exotic the musical source material, all these compositions carry the classic Ellington stamp, from the concise piano and bass duet introduction to "Purple Gazelle," to the sumptuous brass arrangement that heralds the opening of "Pyramid."
Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn combined old and new compositions to create the album Afro-Bossa, ...

| | Modern Jazz Quartet Sheriff CD (1964) Reissued
Comedy/Lonely Woman
$9.69
The Modern Jazz Quartet: John Lewis, Connie Kay, Milt Jackson, Percy Heath.
Recorded in 1963, The Sheriff features the Modern Jazz Quartet in fine swinging form. The program is not as sharply focused as on some of the earlier Atlantic releases, but it is compelling nonetheless. There are four originals by pianist John Lewis, including the fleeting, bluesy title cut, and the moody, spacious "In a Crowd," -- originally composed for the 1961 film A Milanese Story. Its stepped-up time signature and series of phrases played ...

The historic live Town Hall sessions by Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker from 1945 have been discovered on an acetate pressing, and are transferred with digital enhancement to CD. Why this concert was not issued initially is understandable, but Ira Gitler's informative and insightful liner notes suggest they likely were misplaced. ...

Comedy/Lonely Woman
$13.69 
Nick Curran & The Nitelifes includes: Nick Curran (vocals guitar); Leroy Biller (guitar).
Recorded at Fort Horton Studios, Austin, Texas.
Personnel: Nick Curran (vocals, guitar).
If Fixin' Your Head's grainy, vintage sound turned a lot of heads, Nitelife Boogie will certainly put more than a few blues fiends into neck braces. Utilizing vintage recording equipment and a live performance aesthetic, guitarist/singer Nick Curran reinterprets jump blues classics along with rarities and originals in the exact style of the original recordings. This guy uses Murray's Superior Hair Dressing on his pompadour, wears some snappy vintage threads, and is backed by a tight rhythm section and two tenor saxophones. ...
