Chet Baker – In New York
84,00 €Add to cartChet Baker — In New York Mastering by Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman at Acoustech Mastering Double LP cut at 45 RPM and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings! Stoughton Printing Old Style Tip-On gatefold jacket with scuff-resistant matte finish On Chet Baker — In New York, Chet plays like an angel with a muted trumpet. In New York captures the moody prince of cool stepping into the East Coast hard bop ring — and holding his own with charm, tone, and those impossibly lyrical lines that seem to float above the beat like cigarette smoke in a club basement. Chet Baker didn't play the trumpet. He seduced it. His tone? So velvety, you might try spreading it on toast. His solos? Like a conversation with someone who never raises their voice — but always gets the last word. On In New York, Chet proves that his famously fragile persona belied a rock-solid sense of melody, timing, and understated swagger. Chet may be the name on the cover, but he came to town with some serious firepower. Johnny Griffin (tenor sax), known as the "Little Giant" brings a big sound and a bebop bite, pushing Chet into edgier territory — and yes, it works. Al Haig (piano), is bebop royalty. Cool, crisp, and a perfect harmonic foil for Baker's phrasing. Paul Chambers (bass), is from Miles' first-call list. He doesn't just walk the bass — he struts. Lastly, Philly Joe Jones (drums) swings so hard, it's a wonder the studio walls didn't cave in. This lineup turns In New York from a moody trumpet feature into a full-on jazz heavyweight bout, where elegance and energy shake hands for 42 glorious minutes. Among the tracks, "Fair Weather" opens like a sigh and builds to a gorgeous melodic statement. Chet's tone is so pure, you'll swear it's whispering secrets. "Solar" is the Miles Davis tune. Chet steps into the master's world and makes it his own. Confident, cool, and swinging. "Polka Dots and Moonbeams" is a ballad done Baker-style: Romantic, vulnerable, and smoother than a vintage Cadillac. These are just a taste of the treasures that await on In New York. This vinyl reissue is par excellence: Mastering by Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman at Acoustech Mastering, double LP cut at 45 RPM and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings! Plus it's housed in a Stoughton Printing Old Style Tip-On gatefold jacket with scuff-resistant matte finish. This is an album that deserves space in every jazz fan's collection. It captures a unique moment in Chet's career — between the breezy West Coast cool and the rawer later years. It's a must-have for any jazz collector who values tone, taste, and a little touch of trumpet romance. Add to cart. Drop the needle. Cue the cool.

Gene Ammons – Blue Gene
84,00 €Add to cartGene Ammons — Blue Gene Mastering by Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman at Acoustech Mastering Double LP cut at 45 RPM and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings! Stoughton Printing Old Style Tip-On gatefold jacket with scuff-resistant matte finish Jazz lovers and sonic thrill seekers — here's a horn-heavy hangout starring the smooth, swaggering Gene Ammons and a dream team of mid-century jazz legends. Think of it as a top-shelf jam session that someone wisely remembered to hit "record" on. This 1958 Prestige gem is bluesy by name and bluesier by nature — three of the four tracks ride those familiar blues changes like a Cadillac with velvet seats. But don't get too comfortable, because pianist Mal Waldron penned the entire setlist, including the haunting, minor-key ballad "Hip Tip," just to keep your ears on their toes. Gene Ammons, aka "Jug," brings that famously expressive tenor sax of his — rich enough to butter toast with — and pairs up with two of the finest co-conspirators ever to bless a horn: the sharp, soulful Idrees Sulieman on trumpet and the baritone brawler himself, Pepper Adams. This trio doesn't just blow; they converse, they duel, and occasionally they just throw down. Every player on this date had already jammed with Gene before, so the chemistry is tighter than a snare drum. It's the kind of session where everyone shows up knowing it's about to go down — and it does. The vinyl reissue is par excellence: Mastering by Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman at Acoustech Mastering, double LP cut at 45 RPM and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings! Plus it's housed in a Stoughton Printing Old Style Tip-On gatefold jacket with scuff-resistant matte finish. Blue Gene is a must-have slice of golden-era jazz — equal parts brains, brawn, and bluesy brilliance. File it under "Instant Vibe."

Miles Davis Quintet – Great Prestige Recordings
279,00 €Add to cartMiles Davis Quintet — The Great Prestige Recordings A classic box set reborn! Mastered from the original analog tapes by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio 180-gram vinyl 33 1/3 5LP pressed at Quality Record Pressings Set includes pressings of The New Miles Davis Quintet (Miles), Cookin' with the Miles Davis Quintet, Relaxin' with the Miles Davis Quintet, Workin' with the Miles Davis Quintet, and Steamin' with the Miles Davis Quintet LPs housed in Stoughton Printing old style tip-on jackets Also includes a 12-page booklet with liner notes by Bob Blumenthal One of Analogue Productions' most successful and collectible projects has been the Miles Davis Quintet/The Great Prestige Recordings deluxe box set on 33 1/3 LP. Now, that beautiful five-album set is being reintroduced. Featuring a 12" x 12" 12-page gorgeous booklet, packaged with the LPs (each housed in a Stoughton Printing tip-on jacket) in a deluxe, heavy-duty box, this set is the end-all of Miles' work for the legendary Prestige label from 1951 through 1956. Stereophile awarded the first incarnation of this set Recording of the Month in their March 1997 issue, giving it five stars for both music and sonics. Miles Davis's final Prestige sessions came from a desire to move to Columbia in 1956 while still owing Prestige several albums. Using producer Bob Weinstock's loose recording approach, Miles and his first great quintet knocked out the obligation in two marathon sessions (May 11 and October 26, 1956) at Rudy Van Gelder's studio, playing their regular live repertoire with little rehearsal. Prestige later released the music as Cookin', Relaxin', Workin', and Steamin'. Intended as quick contract fillers, the recordings became landmark hard-bop albums and some of the most natural, swinging jazz ever captured. The Miles Davis Quintet featured what is likely Miles' best-ever group, featuring Davis, John Coltrane, Philly Joe Jones, Paul Chambers and Red Garland. All of those albums are included in this limited edition box set. The albums are pressed on 180-gram vinyl and mastered from the original analog tapes by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio. They are packaged in a deluxe box with original album covers plus the 12-page booklet by Bob Blumenthal. These were not rehearsed studio constructions but living, breathing performances — spontaneous, swinging, and electrifying in their interplay. From the simmering cool of "My Funny Valentine" to the hard-driving pulse of "Airegin," these sessions distilled everything that made Miles and his sidemen legends. This box set is essential listening — meticulously mastered, beautifully presented, and historically vital. Own the sound that started it all — Miles, Coltrane, and company at their most inspired.

Nils Lofgren – Acoustic Live
82,00 €Add to cart“Lofgren, no stranger to audiophiles, has standard recordings so good — the music, of course, warrants attention regardless of the sound quality — that ‘Keith Don’t Go’ has long been a show demo fave. This set from 1997, recorded when ‘unplugged’ was cool, is exactly what you’d want from a stellar guitarist with a distinctive voice, backed by piano and other guitars: an airy feel, a sense of space, all the requisite woodiness, the twang accounted for in a vivid manner that will make you wish you owned Quad ’57s.” — Sound Quality = 89% – Ken Kessler, HiFi News, August 2016 Guitarist and singer-songwriter Nils Lofgren in 1997 released a small treasure for longtime fans. Acoustic Live captures Lofgren alone in front of an appreciative audience, knocking out such favorites as “You,” “No Mercy” and “Keith Don’t Go,” plus six new songs. Even with the new songs, there are no real revelations, only a selection of little gems that will put a smile on your face as you listen. Yes, this is a digital recording. True to our company principles, Analogue Productions in almost all cases reissues recordings only where the analog master tape is available. However, there are rare exceptions that whether digitally recorded or otherwise, a recording is so outstanding it’s worthy of the highest quality vinyl reissue. Along with his work as a solo artist, Lofgren has marked more than 25 years as a member of Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band as well as a former member of Crazy Horse and Grin. Lofgren joined Neil Young’s band in 1968 at age 17, playing piano on the album After the Gold Rush. Lofgren would maintain a close musical relationship with Young, appearing on his Tonight’s the Night album and tour among others. He was also briefly a member of Crazy Horse, appearing on their 1971 LP and contributing songs to their catalogue. From ’71 to ’74 Lofgren was active in Grin, the band he founded in ’69. Solo albums and tours followed every year through the 1970s as Lofgren established himself as a top guitarist and live performer earning the respect and acclaim of his peers. Bruce Springsteen made the call in 1984 and Lofgren joined the E-Street Band for the Born in the USA tour. Lofgren was an instant hit with Springsteens fans through his playing and vibrant on stage persona. Lofgren remains a stalwart of the E-Street Band to the present day. “Acoustic Live is an interesting and charming album from Nils Lofgren in 1997 as he follow on in the Unplugged tradition that became popular in the 1990s. It was actually recorded at The Barns Of Wolftrap, Vienna in Virginia on January 18th, 1997.” — bestlivealbums.com

Blue Mitchell – Blue’s Moods
84,00 €Add to cartBlue Mitchell — Blue's Moods Mastering by Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman at Acoustech Mastering Double LP cut at 45 RPM and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings! Stoughton Printing Old Style Tip-On gatefold jacket with scuff-resistant matte finish Meet your next favorite jazz record: Blue's Moods — because sometimes the mood is blue, but the groove is always gold. Released in 1960 on Riverside, this album finds trumpet wizard Blue Mitchell leading a top-shelf quartet that reads like a who's-who of tasteful, straight-ahead jazz. Mitchell's playing is lyrical without getting syrupy, swinging without showing off — think cool confidence with a velvet glove. Backing him is a rhythm section so tight they might be psychic. You've got Wynton Kelly on piano, a man whose comping is basically musical espresso — sharp, energizing, and never overdone. Sam Jones brings that rock-solid, walking bass that holds everything together like jazz duct tape (the fancy kind), and Roy Brooks on drums keeps the time crisp and the swing infinite. Stylistically, Blue's Moods sticks close to the heart of hard bop, with traces of soul, elegance, and a little late-night melancholy for good measure. It's the kind of record that doesn't shout for your attention — it just strolls into the room, sets down its drink, and has you hooked in two bars. This is a vinyl LP reissue unmatched. Mastering by Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman at Acoustech Mastering, double LP cut at 45 RPM and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings!

Bill Evans – Quintessence
84,00 €Add to cartBill Evans — Quintessence Mastering by Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman at Acoustech Mastering Double LP cut at 45 RPM and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings! Stoughton Printing Old Style Tip-On gatefold jacket with scuff-resistant matte finish Ready yourselves, jazz aficionados, for modal piano brilliance, Bill Evans style! Released in 1977, Bill Evans — Quintessence, has the maestro diving headfirst into a lush, melodic hornscape — an elegant, smoky surprise. Let's start with the man himself. By 1977, Bill Evans was less of a pianist and more of a philosopher with 88 keys. His technique? Still gentle, still whispery, still capable of melting diamonds. But here, he brings his lyrical poetry into a new context: a quintet. That's right — not just his beloved trio format, but a quintet, people. No safety net. No piano bench to hide behind. Just sheer harmonic magic. The Evans dream team of supporting players was a stellar lineup. Starting with Harold Land (tenor sax) — The West Coast legend whose tone is so smooth it could pass as jazz-flavored gelato. Warm, reflective, and the perfect foil to Evans' crystalline touch. Next, there's Kenny Burrell (guitar). Playing with such subtlety you'd swear he was painting chords with a sable brush. Never flashy, always perfect. On bass, Ray Brown — The anchor of jazz itself. You want groove? He'll give you groove. You want soul? He's got that in spades too. And on drums, Philly Joe Jones. Because if you're gonna swing, you call the guy who made Miles Davis' band sweat. Together, they form a unit so tight it's basically a telepathic jazz circle. They're not just supporting Bill — they're expanding him! What's On the Menu? "Sweet Dulcinea" — A tune that proves you don't need to play fast to say something profound. "Bass Face" — Ray Brown gets the spotlight, and boy does he shine. "Martina" — A waltz so beautiful it should come with a warning label: may cause reflective gazing into middle distance. "Second Time Around" — A standard for an album that's all about elegance, subtle swing, and refined musicianship. "A Child Is Born" — The kind of rendition that makes you think maybe the world isn't so bad after all. So why add Quintessence to your collection? Because this is Bill Evans unplugged from the trio comfort zone, letting his lush harmonic sensibilities dance with top-tier horn players and rhythm gods. This album is meditative but never sleepy, introspective but never self-indulgent. It's rich, warm, and brimming with the quiet confidence of a master stretching his wings just because he can. This reissue brims with superior quality. Mastering by Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman at Acoustech Mastering, double LP cut at 45 RPM and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings! Plus it's housed in a Stoughton Printing Old Style Tip-On gatefold jacket with scuff-resistant matte finish. Bottom line, if your jazz collection is missing Quintessence, it's like owning a Picasso with a blank corner. This is the kind of record that sneaks up on you — not flashy, but unforgettable. Go ahead. You deserve this kind of quintet magic.

Charlie Byrd – The Artistry Of Charlie Byrd
84,00 €Add to cartCharlie Byrd — The Guitar Artistry of Charlie Byrd Mastering by Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman at Acoustech Mastering Double LP cut at 45 RPM and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings! Stoughton Printing Old Style Tip-On gatefold jacket with scuff-resistant matte finish Picture this: it's 1960, and the world is still reeling from the Eisenhower era, poodle skirts, and the faint hum of early rock ‘n' roll trying to steal jazz's thunder. Charlie Byrd's album The Guitar Artistry of Charlie Byrd drops like a perfectly timed rimshot, ready to remind everyone that jazz can be sophisticated, soulful, and swing like nobody's business. It was at Edgewood Studios in Washington, D.C. where Byrd, the Virgina-born guitar wizard, with his trusty unamplified Spanish guitar, plied his magic. Recorded in 1960 and released in 1963 on Riverside Records (after a limited run as Charlie's Choice: Jazz at the Showboat, Vol. 4 on Washington Records' Offbeat imprint), this album is Byrd at his peak, blending jazz's improvisational fire with the refined finesse of classical technique. The tracklist reads like a love letter to versatility: from the peppy "Taking a Chance on Love" to the dreamy "Moonlight in Vermont," and a nod to his idol Django Reinhardt with "Nuages." Oh, and let's not forget "Django," a solo guitar performance that's so intimate, you'll swear Byrd's playing it just for you in your living room. The album's vibe is like a martini — smooth, sophisticated, but with a kick that sneaks up on you. AllMusic gave it a glowing 4½ stars, calling it "pleasing," and Byrd's style "clean, beautifully articulated" which is critic-speak for "this is the kind of record you'll spin until your turntable begs for mercy." It's not just background music; it's a conversation between Byrd's fingers and your soul, with every plucked note saying, "Hey, jazz can be classy and cool." Byrd doesn't go it alone here — he's got the perfect wingmen. On bass, we have Keter Betts, whose steady, soulful lines are the heartbeat of the trio. Betts, a D.C. jazz staple, keeps things grounded while Byrd's guitar soars. On drums, Buddy Deppenschmidt lays down rhythms so tasteful, you'd think he's seasoning the tracks with pixie dust. Together, they're tighter than a hipster's skinny jeans, creating a sound that's both relaxed and razor-sharp. And that solo "Django"? That's all Byrd, baby — proof he could hold court without a rhythm section and still leave you gobsmacked. The Guitar Artistry of Charlie Byrd didn't top the Billboard charts like Byrd's later bossa nova blockbuster Jazz Samba (1962, with Stan Getz), but it was a sleeper hit in jazz circles. Its initial limited release on Washington Records meant it was like finding a rare Pokémon card for early collectors. When Riverside picked it up in '63, it rode the wave of Byrd's growing fame, especially after he introduced bossa nova to North America. Jazz fans, already smitten with Byrd's genre-hopping genius, snapped it up, and it became a staple in collections for its pure, unadulterated guitar artistry. This reissue brims with superior quality. Mastering by Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman at Acoustech Mastering, double LP cut at 45 RPM and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings! Plus it's housed in a Stoughton Printing Old Style Tip-On gatefold jacket with scuff-resistant matte finish. For a jazz music collector, The Guitar Artistry of Charlie Byrd is like a holy grail with a side of hot sauce. It's a masterclass in guitar-driven jazz from a guy who could make nylon strings sing like nobody else. It's the kind of record you'll play to unwind, to impress, or to remind yourself why you fell in love with jazz in the first place.

Stoughton Printing Old Style Tip-On gatefold jacket with scuff-resistant matte finish Quiet Kenny isn't just a highlight of the Prestige catalog; it is a definitive argument for Kenny Dorham's status as a titan of the trumpet. While often overshadowed by his flashier contemporaries, this 1959 session captures Dorham at the absolute peak of his powers, delivering a performance defined by understated elegance and profound emotional depth. Supported by a rock-solid rhythm section featuring Tommy Flanagan, Paul Chambers, and Art Taylor, Dorham navigates a program that balances heartbreaking ballads with sophisticated, original blues. On standards like "My Ideal" and "Alone Together," his tone is intimate and breathy-limning each melody with a vulnerability that few could replicate. Dorham also digs deep into his own compositions, exploring the harmonic richness of "Blue Friday" and "Blue Spring Shuffle."

Stoughton Printing Old Style Tip-On gatefold jacket with scuff-resistant matte finish The Wes Montgomery Trio - A Dynamic New Sound: Guitar/Organ/Drums, was the album that said: "Hello world, Wes has arrived — and he brought friends!" Before Full House brought the fire, The Wes Montgomery Trio brought the vibe. Released in 1959, this was Montgomery's debut on Riverside Records — and let's just say, he didn't exactly tiptoe onto the scene. He kicked the door in with thumb-picking swagger, octave magic, and tone so warm it could toast bread. So, what's the deal with this album? It's right there in the subtitle: Guitar. Organ. Drums. That's it. No bass, no brass, no safety net. Just Wes on guitar, the criminally underrated Melvin Rhyne on Hammond B-3 organ (talk about groove!), and Paul Parker on drums keeping it tight and tasteful. The result? A sound so lean and soulful, it practically invented the jazz organ trio aesthetic we know and love today. Wes' tone? Velvet meets voltage. Melvin's organ work? Church on Sunday meets smoky after-hours club. Paul's drumming? Like a good bartender — never flashy, but always exactly what you need. This was a bold move: no bass, no piano, just pure stripped-down swing — and it worked. Why? Because these guys listened to each other. They locked in and gave Wes the space to shine. You can hear the joy in the playing, the energy of three guys who knew they were onto something. Jazz fans didn't just nod politely — they flipped. Critics called it fresh, hip, and boundary-pushing. Montgomery's style, which fused bluesy soulfulness with dazzling technical control, immediately caught ears. This wasn't just a good debut — it was a statement. And it sold, helping launch Wes into the jazz stratosphere. We've given this timeless album the full Analogue Productions treatment: Mastering by Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman at Acoustech Mastering, double LP cut at 45 RPM and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings! Plus it's housed in a Stoughton Printing Old Style Tip-On gatefold jacket with scuff-resistant matte finish. This classic album belongs in your jazz collection because it symbolizes the moment the legend began. It's raw, it's real, and it's ridiculously cool. If jazz history were a superhero movie, The Wes Montgomery Trio would be the thrilling origin story. Plus, it grooves hard enough to make your neighbors forgive you for playing it at full volume (again). Go ahead — make room on the shelf. This one earns it.

This isn't just any album — it's a legendary collaboration between the velvet-voiced crooner Tony Bennett and the piano wizard Bill Evans, two titans who decided to waltz into a studio and create pure magic. Spoiler alert: they nailed it. This album was a critical darling, earning rave reviews for its intimate, stripped-down vibe. It charted respectably, but its real triumph lies in its enduring legacy — decades later, it's still a go-to for jazz lovers who crave soulful authenticity. Bennett's warm, storytelling vocals paired with Evans' lyrical, impressionistic piano work made this a standout in both their discographies. The Personnel Tony Bennett: The man with a voice like buttered velvet, turning standards into heartfelt confessions. Bill Evans: The piano poet, whose delicate touch and harmonic genius could make a metronome weep. Recorded in a cozy, no-frills session at Fantasy Studios, with just the two of them (and a trusty engineer, Helen Keane, keeping the vibes pristine). No big band, no overdubs-just raw, unfiltered artistry. This album is a masterclass in less-is-more. Recorded live in the studio with minimal takes, it captures the spontaneity of two masters riffing off each other like old friends at a late-night jam. The production is crystal-clear, letting Bennett's nuanced phrasing and Evans' shimmering chords breathe. Evans' harmonic choices-think lush, unexpected chord voicings-add a layer of sophistication, while Bennett's impeccable timing keeps it grounded. The balance between voice and piano is so perfect, you'd think they shared a telepathic link. Plus, the song selection (standards like "My Foolish Heart" and "The Touch of Your Lips") is a love letter to the Great American Songbook. Why Jazz Fans Need This in Their Collection If your record shelf is craving a dose of elegance, this album is your ticket. It's intimate enough to feel like a private concert but profound enough to reveal new layers with every spin. For fans of vocal jazz, Bennett's delivery is a masterclass in emotion without excess. For piano nerds, Evans' introspective solos are practically a spiritual experience. Grab The Tony Bennett & Bill Evans Album and let these two charmers remind you why jazz is the coolest kid on the musical block. Your turntable (and your soul) will thank you!

Recorded in 1962 in front of a lucky live audience, this is Wes unleashed — no studio tricks, no second takes, just raw, elegant fire.

Enter Johnny Griffin, aka "The Little Giant," who rips into his tenor sax with the ferocity of a caffeinated tornado. His solos on "Cariba" and "Blue ‘n' Boogie" aren't just impressive — they're straight-up volcanic. You don't listen to Griffin — you brace yourself for him. And then there's the rhythm section. Oh, just your average trio of jazz legends: Jimmy Cobb (yes, that Jimmy Cobb from Kind of Blue) driving the drums, Paul Chambers holding it down on bass like the heartbeat of heaven, and Wynton Kelly on piano with a touch so smooth it should be illegal.

Stoughton Printing Old Style Tip-On gatefold jacket with scuff-resistant matte finish For Wynton Kelly, Kelly Blue marked a career highlight. A blueprint for blues-infused hard bop, Kelly Blue is Kelly's definitive statement as a bandleader — a swinging, blues-soaked masterclass in touch, taste, and timing. This is the sound of a pianist playing with both finesse and fire. The Pitch (and it swings hard) If you're assembling a jazz collection and Kelly Blue isn't on your shelf, you're basically hosting a dinner party without food. Kelly was the pianist Miles Davis trusted enough to bring into his band and replace Red Garland. Kelly was the ultimate sideman turned understated hero — blending gospel fire, blues grit, and bebop elegance into a buttery-smooth flow that made his touch unmistakable. On Kelly Blue, he steps out of the shadow and into the spotlight, where he glows like a well-polished Steinway under stage lights. And Kelly brought friends on this auspicious date. Paul Chambers (bass) — So solid, they used him to calibrate metronomes. Jimmy Cobb (drums) — Subtle as a whisper, sharp as a whip. And Nat Adderley (cornet), Benny Golson (tenor sax), and Bobby Jaspar (flute) — Because sometimes, you need a horn section that sounds like they're reciting poetry in perfect harmony. These cats don't just support Kelly — they elevate him. Bottom line, Kelly Blue is an essential slice of jazz heaven — warm, witty, effortlessly cool. What's Inside? "Kelly Blue" - The blues never felt this fresh. This is the sound of a pianist playing with both finesse and fire. "Softly, As in a Morning Sunrise" — A standard, yes. But Kelly makes it his. "Keep It Moving" — Exactly what this band does, with grooves slick enough to hydroplane on. Ballads and burners alike - Every track is a reminder that Kelly could do anything at the keys — except be boring. Kelly Blue is the sound of a pianist at the peak of his power, surrounded by friends who know exactly how to keep up. If your jazz collection were a cocktail, this album would be the splash of bourbon that makes everything come together. This is a vinyl LP reissue unmatched.

These are the audiophile jazz fan's definitive releases for your collection!For jazz collectors, At Shelly's Manne-Hole isn't just another Bill Evans record — it's a landmark. This was Evans' final album for Riverside, the label that first brought his genius to light, and his last chapter in one of the most creative partnerships in modern jazz recording.Captured live at drummer Shelly Manne's famous Hollywood club in 1963, the album finds Evans in rare form — intimate, reflective, yet full of quiet fire. It's only the second time Riverside ever caught him in a live setting (the first being the legendary Village Vanguard sessions), and it documents a fleeting but brilliant trio: Evans with bassist Chuck Israels and drummer Larry Bunker.The sound is wonderfully alive — you can feel the room, the energy, the warmth of an audience hanging on every note. For collectors, this is the bridge between Evans' early introspection and the confident, searching tone of his later work.Musicians:Bill Evans, pianoChuck Israels, bassLarry Bunker, drums -

82,00 €Add to cartBill Evans — Everybody Digs Bill Evans Individual title from The Bill Evans Riverside Recordings Box Set 180-gram 45 RPM double LP Mastered by Kevin Gray & Steve Hoffman at AcousTech Mastering AAA analog from original master tapes Praise for our Riverside Recordings LP Box Set from Analogue Productions "These are, for the most part, extraordinary-sounding recordings, better than any you're likely to find. If you love the music, you should consider the purchase." — Fred Kaplan, Stereophile, Nov. 1, 2017 "Bill Evans' recordings almost always received good to excellent sound, and the Analogue Productions reissues are no exception. ... The 45 rpm reissues are more musical and transparent; instruments have greater three-dimensionality and frequency extremes, especially lower octaves, exhibit greater resolution and impact. Get them before they're sold out!" Myles Astor, Positive-Feedback Online, Issue 34 Of everything Analogue Productions has reissued, few titles have sparked the accolades accorded our 45 RPM versions of Bill Evans titles from his Riverside catalog. Now, we're breaking the titles out from that terrific set for individual sale. These are the audiophile jazz fan's definitive releases for your collection!The legend of Bill Evans really begins with this album, his second. The pianist had just spent most of 1958 as part of one of the major units in jazz history: The Miles Davis Sextet that also featured John Coltrane and Cannonball Adderley. His fellow musicians already knew his worth (the album title was almost literally accurate, and the four endorsements on the cover, which embarrassed Bill, could easily have been greatly multiplied). With this record, the jazz public began to follow their lead.Here, joined by bassist Sam Jones and drummer Philly Joe Jones, Evans delivers some of his most fluid, swinging trio performances — elegant, lyrical, and rhythmically alive. Yet it's the solo improvisation "Peace Piece" that forever marked his arrival. Built on two hypnotic chords, it unfolds with a quiet intensity that feels both spontaneous and transcendent — a glimpse into the meditative, deeply personal world Evans would explore for the rest of his career.For collectors, Everybody Digs Bill Evans captures that pivotal moment when a brilliant accompanist became an icon in his own right. It's the bridge between promise and legend, a record that doesn't just showcase Evans' genius — it invites you into it.Musicians: Bill Evans, piano Sam Jones, bass Philly Joe Jones, drums -

Count Basie 6 – Kansas City
54,00 €Add to cart180-gram vinyl Mastered by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab from the original analog master tape Pressed at Quality Record Pressings Housed in Stoughton Printing tip-on jacket With Count Basie, Cleanhead Vinson, and Willie Cook all gone, there is cause for gratitude that Norman Granz thought in 1981 to bring them together with a great rhythm section. The result was one of the happiest of Basie's celebrated "Kansas City" sessions for Pablo. Cook and Vinson, marvelous soloists who deserved wider fame, were both great bebop players able to tailor their work to Basie's more elemental requirements without condescending or losing anything essential. Additionally, as he demonstrates to a fare-thee-well on "Wee Baby," Vinson was a terrific blues shouter. In his small groups, Basie the pianist was on more prominent display than in the big band, and there are plenty of reminders here that his keyboard talent encompassed much more than wryness and subtlety. Mastered by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab from the original analog master tape. Pressed at Quality Record Pressings for superior sound quality, and housed in a handsome Stoughton Printing tip-on jacket. Musicians: Count Basie, piano Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen, double bass Louis Bellson, drums Joe Pass, guitar Eddie Vinson, saxophone Willie Cook, trumpet
