    180-gram vinyl Mastered by Kevin Gray from the original analog master tape Pressed at Quality Record Pressings Housed in Stoughton Printing tip-on single pocket jacket A historic meeting between pianist Art Tatum and tenor sax giant Ben Webster — recorded in 1956, but only first issued by Pablo Records in the 70s! At some level, it's clear that Tatum's the star of the sessions — as most tracks start out with that introspective and often complicated approach to the keys that marks his trio and solo work — but Webster always slides in just in time to keep the record from being a standard Tatum outing — blowing with a crisp tone that's beautifully recorded here, and hardly concerned at all with the presence of Red Callender on bass and Bill Douglass on drums - who are much lower in the mix. Titles include "Night & Day," "Where Or When," "My Ideal," "Gone With The Wind," and "All The Things You Are." Mastered by Kevin Gray from the original analog master tape, and pressed at Quality Record Pressings for optimal sound quality, this Analogue Productions 180-gram reissue is everything jazz fans expect from an audiophile reissue. Housed in a single pocket Stoughton Printing tip-on jacket.

Mastered by Ryan K. Smith at Sterling Sound from the original analog tapes 180-gram LPs pressed at Quality Record Pressings! Stoughton Printing gatefold old-style tip-on jackets Series supervised by Chad Kassem CEO of Acoustic Sounds "Mississippi Goddam" staked out Nina Simone's support of the Civil Rights movement when this album debuted in 1964, helping make it probably the most personal album that Simone issued during her stay on Philips during the decade. Writes AllMusic in a 4.5 Star review: "On most of her studio sessions, she worked with orchestration that either enhanced her vocals tastefully or smothered her, and she tackled an astonishingly wide range of material that, while admirably eclectic, made for uneven listening. Here, the singer and pianist is backed by a spare, jazzy quartet, and some of the songs rank among her most socially conscious declarations of African-American pride: 'Old Jim Crow,' 'Pirate Jenny,' 'Go Limp,' and, especially, 'Mississippi Goddam' were some of the most forthright musical reflections of the Civil Rights movement to be found at the time. In a more traditional vein, she also reprises her hit 'I Loves You, Porgy' and the jazz ballad 'Don't Smoke in Bed.'"

Originally released on either side of Smack Up, these albums underscore just how refreshingly creative Pepper was at the time. Gettin' Together's tight "Bijou the Poodle," penned by Pepper, leads the way, with Jazzwise admiring its "angularity...representing the darker side of the Californian jazz idyll." Often described as a sequel to Art Pepper Meets the Rhythm SectionGettin' Together! once again finds Pepper backed on beat by Miles Davis alums (bassist Paul Chambers, drummer Jimmy Cobb). Meanwhile, the San Francisco Examiner sums up 1963's Intensity, the last release of his early period, as Pepper being "well on his way toward a new kind of playing freedom." Writes AllMusic, "Pepper sticks to swinging standards such as ‘I Can't Believe That You're in Love with Me,' ‘Gone with the Wind, and ‘I Wished on the Moon' as points of departure on this interesting and largely enjoyable set." This new edition, released as part of the Contemporary Records Acoustic Sounds Series, features (AAA) lacquers cut from the original master tapes by Bernie Grundman and is pressed on 180-gram vinyl at QRP, and presented in a Stoughton Printing tip-on jacket.

    Contemporary Records Acoustic Sounds Series continues in 2024! Twelve standout albums from the Contemporary Records catalog reissued on 180-gram vinyl Titles featuring Art Pepper, Sonny Rollins, Helen Humes, Ben Webster and many more! Mastered AAA by Bernie Grundman from the original analog tapes 180-gram LPs pressed at Quality Record Pressings! Stoughton Printing gatefold old-style tip-on jackets Series supervised by Chad Kassem CEO of Acoustic Sounds Continuing Craft Recordings' celebration of seminal jazz artists from Contemporary Records A classic of the genre, Way Out West was tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins' first album for west coast label Contemporary Records. The New York Times wrote, "He is jazz's greatest living improviser, able to imbue his solos with wry humor, surprise, brilliant logical form, and profound emotion." In a genre where so much talent burned out too young, Rollins (now retired at age 93) held court as one of jazz's most formidable talents. Way Out West, his classic 1957 album, received 5 Stars from Rolling Stone's prestigious Jazz Record Guide and has prompted Pitchfork to deem it, "an album that looks like a novelty and sounds like transcendence." The album's infamous 3 a.m. recording sessions featured Rollins' sax strolling over the contributions of onetime Ella Fitzgerald bassist Ray Brown and iconic West Coast Jazz drummer Shelly Manne, neither of whom he'd ever played with. The results are incredible, with "I'm an Old Cowhand (From the Rio Grande)," a satirical song about Texas written by Johnny Mercer and made famous by Bing Crosby, skillfully merging country with jazz, while Rollins' own composition, the title track "Way Out West," reminds us of his dexterity and playful ambivalence towards time signatures. This new edition, released as part of the Contemporary Records Acoustic Sounds Series, features (AAA) lacquers cut from the original master tapes by Bernie Grundman and is pressed on 180-gram vinyl at QRP, and presented in a Stoughton Printing tip-on jacket.

    180-gram vinyl Mastered by Kevin Gray from the original analog master tape Pressed at Quality Record Pressings Housed in Stoughton Printing tip-on jacket Producer Norman Granz was an associate of Duke Ellington's for many years, and it is not surprising that his labels have frequently hosted Ellington tributes that bring out the best in the participating world-class musicians. Although Clark Terry is the only participant in the present celebration to have logged significant time as an Ellingtonian, all hands draw sustenance from the unbeatable material here. Of special interest are the tracks on which Zoot Sims plays soprano sax, especially the neglected "Tonight I Shall Sleep," and Sarah Vaughan's pair of urbane and intense vocals, accompanied only by the guitar of album-MVP Joe Pass and pianist Mike Wofford. Mastered by Kevin Gray from the original analog master tape, and pressed at Quality Record Pressings for optimal sound quality, this Analogue Productions 180-gram reissue is everything jazz fans expect from an audiophile reissue.

    180-gram vinyl Mastered by Kevin Gray from the original analog master tape Pressed at Quality Record Pressings Housed in Stoughton Printing tip-on single pocket jacket Anyone who ever heard Count Basie launch his band into a blues with several choruses of effortless piano has lamented that there is far too little of Basie the soloist among his recorded legacy. This shortage was rectified to a certain extent by the trio albums Basie made with Ray Brown and Louis Bellson in the Seventies, of which this is the sequel to the For the First Time set of the previous year. Once again, Basie's poetic introductions, precise calibrations of touch and coloration, and definitive swing create a joyous program of four venerable standards and an equal number of new blues. Bellson is empathetic throughout and dances with his brushes on "Sandman," while Brown's robust tone and earth-moving walking lines bring out the best in Basie the soloist and accompanist. Mastered by Kevin Gray from the original analog master tape, and pressed at Quality Record Pressings for optimal sound quality, this Analogue Productions 180-gram reissue is a reissue jazz fans and audiophiles alike will treasure.
