Stance Brothers : Duktus

Teppo Mäkysen The Stance Brothers julkaisee marraskuussa ensimmäisen pitkäsoittonsa yli kymmeneen vuoteen. Tiukasti groovaavilla seiskatuumaisilla viime vuosina ilahduttanut Mäkysen studioprojekti ottaa LP-muodossa askelen postmodernimpaan ja kerroksellisempaan suuntaan. Seiskoilta tuttuja rapsakoita rumpubiittejä ja vastustamattomia vibrafonimelodioita maustetaan entistä enemmän syntetisaattoreilla, ja äänessä on myös muutama vierailija.

Blakey, Art / Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers : Ugetsu

Ugetsu, a 1963 live set from the original Birdland, finds Art Blakey & His Jazz Messengers at the peak of their powers with one of their strongest lineups. The group primarily recorded sessions for Alfred Lion's Blue Note label, but this Riverside date is as strong as any of their previous outings. Having acquired the services of trombonist Curtis Fuller in 1961, the Messengers' front line was its most robust ever, with Wayne Shorter and Freddie Hubbard consistently turning in some of their best performances.

Jimenez, Kenneth : Sonnet to Silence

Koma Saxo : Post Koma

Koma Saxon Post Komalla livesoitto ja samplet, orgaaninen ja elektroninen kadottavat rajansa. Ideoita on tuhlattavaksi asti; maukkaat koukut ja isot melodiat tekevät tilaa uusille hengästyttävällä tahdilla. Albumilla kuuluu kaikuja nimistä kuten Art Ensemble of Chicago, J Dilla, Madlib ja Don Cherry, mutta Koma Saxon sointi on kokonaan omanlaisensa ja jäljittelemätön.

Wilson, Jack : Easterly Winds

This stereo Tone Poet Vinyl Edition was produced by Joe Harley, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original analog master tapes, pressed on 180g vinyl at RTI, and packaged in a deluxe gatefold tip-on jacket.

Coltrane, John : Coltrane

Released in 1957 on Prestige Records, this album was recorded by Rudy Van Gelder on May 31, 1957.

The line-up includes Johnnie Splawn (trumpet), Sahib Shihab (baritone saxophone), Red Garland and Mal Waldron (piano), Paul Chambers (bass), and Albert "Tootie" Heath (drums).

Davis, Miles / Miles Davis All Star : Walkin'

More than sixty years old, Walkin' still remains a crucial staging post in the history of jazz. Originally recorded in 1954 and initially issued on a couple of 10 albums, tt features a mix of quintet and sextet material, recorded during his spell with Prestige Records and produced by Bob Weinstock. The various tracks were gathered together, along with a previously unreleased track, and issued as a 12 album in 1957. The end result is an important album in the development of bop music, a genre Miles Davis practically owned.

Reed, Mike : The Separatist Party

Black vinyl

Gillespie, Dizzy / Roach, Max / Powell, Bud / Quintet / Mingus, Charlie : Jazz At Massey Hall

This modern jazz summit meeting in Toronto has been called ""the greatest jazz concert ever."" We owe the survival of the music to Charles Mingus, who, along with Max Roach, taped the concert and subsequently issued it on his own new Debut label. There was tension between the giants before, during, and after the concert. Bird arrived without a horn and had to borrow a plastic alto (he made it sound like gold). The hall was three-quarters empty (the promoters had overlooked the coinciding heavyweight championship match between Marciano and Walcott). But the true heavyweights were onstage, and the results have been knocking out the world of jazz ever since. With Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Bud Powell, Charles Mingus, Max Roach.

Lötjönen, Antti : Circus/Citadel

Basisti-säveltäjä Antti Lötjönen julkaisee helmikuussa toisen Quintet East -albuminsa We Jazz Recordsilla. Suomi-jazzin huipputekijöistä koostuva kvintetti käsittelee Lötjösen uusia, villejä sävellyksiä ennakkoluulottomalla asenteella. Circus/Citadel on ennen kaikkea yhtenäinen albumikokonaisuus. Sävellyksissä ja yhtyeen dynamiikassa on vaihteluita, mutta kokonaisuus soljuu eteenpäin vaivattomasti. Sävellysten ja soiton tiukkuus yhdistyy seikkailulliseen asenteeseen vastustamattomalla tavalla.
