"Cell Walk for Celeste," a jagged yet intricately orchestrated Taylor composition, features Archie Shepp on tenor sax, while Dennis Charles replaces Higgins on drums. "Cindy's Main Mood" is a Taylor/Neidlinger/Higgins trio improvisation. The disc finishes with an Ellington tune, "Things Ain't What They Used to Be," performed by an octet featuring Steve Lacy, Roswell Rudd, and Clark Terry, among others. NEW YORK CITY R&B is an excellent starting point for those unfamiliar with Taylor's music. The set showcases Taylor's talent for reworking standards while representing the more challenging directions he would take later in the '60s.
Originally released under bassist Buell Neidlinger's name in 1961, this 4 song album contains two tracks featuring a trio with pianist Taylor, bassist Neidlinger and drummer Billy Higgins. One track adds the young tenor Archie Shepp (and has Dennis Charl

New York City R&B
 $10.05 
Cecil Taylor was among the principal figures that knocked the jazz world on its collective ear in the late 1950s and early '60s. Along with the creative efforts of John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, and Albert Ayler, Talyor tested, shocked, and finally revolutionized the jazz world with his spiky, percussive, unfettered approach to the piano and improvisation. With his sound informed by pre-bop eras of jazz (Monk, Ellington, even Dave Brubeck) as well as contemporary classical music, Taylor blazed new directions that influenced jazz--and beyond--for decades to come.
JUMPIN' PUNKINS is a 1961 session previously available only in Japan, and captures Taylor with players that span the jazz spectrum. Where else can one hear Clark Terry, Steve Lacy, and Archie Shepp having a fine old time on classic gems like Duke Ellington's "Things Ain't What They Used To Be" and the ...

New York City R&B
$8.45
Whether essaying his skittering, free-form variations on cornet, trumpet or pocket trumpet, the endlessly melodic creations of Don Cherry were a triumph of imagination over technique. Cherry was one of the most recognizable improvisers in all of jazz, who overcame his lack of virtuoso chops with melodic and harmonic resourcefulness, terrific swing and a childlike delight in the joy of a toy. There is a playfulness and a sense of discovery to his music--particularly his three masterful sessions for Blue Note--that mitigates the emotional gravity and rhythmic turbulence of his creations.
Often overshadowed by his legendary collaborators, it remains no coincidence that on the greatest recordings by such stalwart innovators as Ornette Coleman, John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, Albert Ayler and Archie Shepp, Don Cherry was their whimsical, fluttering foil. And given a chance to lead his own ensembles by Blue Note impresario Alfred Lion, Cherry responded with some melodically charming, rhythmically tumultuous works.
SYMPHONY FOR IMPROVISERS, the second work of his legendary triptych, expands upon Cherry's basic two horns/two rhythm format with the addition of saxophonist Pharaoh Sanders, bassist ...

Born and raised in the Appalachian Mountains of Scott County, Virginia, Jake started playing guitar at age 19. He moved on to the banjo, fiddle, and mandolin. Influenced by the rock and roll of Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, and Tom Petty and the banjo style of his uncle Jeff Winegar of the Boozy Creek String Band and the Rough Riders, Jake fuses ole time and traditional Appalachian music with hard driving rock’n roll energy. He showcases his take on roots rock with his version of the mountain folk song 'Red Rock’n Chair'. Of course classic arrangements of traditional tunes are not forgotten on his debut release titled Cat Town, which also includes original material like 'Compromise', co-written by lead guitarist Aaron Roberts, and 'Cairo', an instrumental reminiscent of the surreal Alfonso El Sabio era Spanish guitar music.Recorded in Jake’s home studio, ...
