Recorded on October 9 & 17, 1963. Includes liner notes by Sid Mark.

Digitally remastered by Erick Labson (MCA Music Media Studios).

Over the years, Johnny Hartman had worked with big bands and small combos, interpreting everything from romantic pop to elegant jazz--without achieving the star status his talent so richly deserved. So behind all the debonair trappings of I JUST DROPPED BY TO SAY HELLO, one can detect a certain world weariness.

Which only adds to the after-hours mystique that makes I JUST DROPPED BY TO SAY HELLO one of the great jazz vocal recitals. Everything clicks--from the cat-like brushwork of Elvin Jones and the lyric refinement of brother Hank Jones, to the rock-solid bass-lines of Milt Hinton and the bluesy romantic machismo of tenor giant Illinois Jacquet. Hartman's accompanists aren't simply hired hands--they're a band. Just listen to Jacquet's epic testimony on "Stairway To The Stars," guitarist Jim Hall's probing counterpoint on "Charade," or the Jones brothers' brilliant coda to the title tune--the group rapport is telepathic.

Hartman intones silky phrases over a montundo groove on Henry Mancini's "Charade," moving to easy swing paraphrases in the bridge, and descending into his deepest register, twisting suggestively at the final syllables. Where Sinatra's classic "In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning" is a study in pathos, Hartman mines the tune for its sweet vein of romanticism. The title tune and "Stairway To The Stars" illustrate Hartman's gifts for balladry and theatrical gestures, as he moves easily between his upper and lower registers, between cool recitatives and smooth phrasing, minus the glib, corny vibrato of too many faux romantics. Here, Hartman shows he is the genuine article.

Personnel: Johnny Hartman (vocals); Illinois Jacquet (tenor saxophone); Hank Jones (piano); Kenny Burrell; Jim Hall (guitar); Milt Hinton (bass); Elvin Jones (drums).

Reissue producer: Michael Cuscuna.

Digitally remastered using 20-bit K2 Super Coding System technology. This is part of the Prestige Records 50th Anniversary Special Commemorative Edition series. These five tracks, recorded in the 1950s and reissued in 2006, feature Thelonious Monk and Sonny Rollins--two of the era's most progressive musicians--on the stand together. The interplay between Monk's skeletal, idiosyncratic, yet strangely logical playing and Rollins's full, rich tone and adventurous harmonic explorations complement each other beautifully on both standards ("The Way You Look Tonight") and Monk originals ("Friday the 13th"). "Friday the 13th" is the highlight of the set, featuring plenty of stretching out from Rollins, Monk, and French horn player Julius Watkins. This is a fine addition to any Monk and/or Rollins collection. The two greatest tenor saxophonists to emerge from the cauldron of '50s hard bop, both did significant finishing work in the musical academies of Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk. For John Coltrane and Sonny Rollins, these master mentors expanded their range and broadened their horizons to such a degree that when they finally emerged, they too were accorded respect as original thinkers. Sandwiched in between ...

Surprisingly, this Impulse album is the only recorded meeting between these two swing giants. Born just five years apart, Ellington and Hawkins led parallel lives through the swing era, but somehow never ended up in a recording studio together until this 1962 session. The pairing is certainly a good one that should have been repeated more often. Hawkins' famously robust tenor sax fits in seamlessly with Ellington and a small group of his top ...

A much admired and loved man, of all the many brilliant orchestration projects this was his finest in his own right. He teases us with the opening of 'La Nevada' until the gorgeous repeated four-bar riff finally bursts on our ears with orgasmic delight. There are wonderful brass solos from John Coles, Tony Studd and Budd Johnson and a bass showcase for ...

Since the age of 13, I have wanted to write songs and sing, but finding my voice wasn't all it should be. I gave up trying for a long while. Later when I met the man of my dreams, he gave me inspiration to write again. But then I became a full time mother of three and quit writing until I was 60 years of age.

I have been very ill since 1980 with the disease Fibromyalgia Syndrome. After becoming a reborn Christian and having a deeper ...

While it never completely went away, the jazz organ combo format (organ, drums, saxophone and/or guitar) has undergone a renaissance since the `90s. One of the players riding that wave is guitarist Greg Skaff. He's paid his dues with Stanley Turrentine (himself a veteran of the organ sound) and David "Fathead" Newman, and has learned his lessons well as his style leans towards the bluesy, burnished tone of Grant Green and pre-Top 40 George Benson. But on the smoking opener, "Willie D," and the blistering closer, "Fast As You ...
