Terje Rypdal, ODYSSEY IN STUIDO & IN CONCERT

Terje Rypdal -][- Odyssey: In Studio & In Concert –Mp3– [ECM, 2012] –

Terje Rypdal’s Odyssey: In Studio & In Concert is a very special release. It includes not only the complete Odyssey album (recorded 1975) on CD for the first time (restoring the long track Rolling Stone to its rightful place), but also a full disc of previously unreleased material on which Terje Rypdal’s Odyssey band is augmented by the Swedish Radio Jazz Group in a 1976 live performance of Rypdal s suite Unfinished Highballs.

Bill Evans, Live at Art D'Lugoffs Top of The Gate

With Live at Art D’Lugoff’s Top of the Gate, Resonance Records offers listeners a table at the front of the stage for a stellar performance by one of jazz’s greatest trios. It’s October 23, 1968 in Greenwich Village, and legendary pianist Bill Evans is joined by bassist Eddie Gomez and drummer Marty Morell for two top-notch sets, represented here in their entirety. Aired only once, on Columbia University radio station WKCR-FM, this concert hasn’t been heard for more than forty years and has never been released in any form.

“This gives people a good idea of what it must have been like to be in the room at the time and experience the music,” says producer Zev Feldman. “We’ve done everything short of building a time machine.”

Chico Freeman - TRADITION in TRANSITION

Chico Freeman -][- TRADITION in TRANSITION – [Elektra/Musician-Wounded Bird, 1982]

A well-titled set from Chico Freeman – as the reedman definitely takes older modern modes into new territory here – moving in almost Monk-ish space, but with some sharper, bolder tones overall! The album’s a surprising one for an early 80s major label release – a great reminder that some companies were still willing to take a chance on jazz at the time – and Chico’s got a key assortment of players working with him on the date.

In addition to his own tenor, flute, and bass clarinet, the record features Wallace Roney on trumpet, Clyde Criner on piano, Cecil McBee on bass, Billy Hart on drums, and Jack DeJohnette on either drums or piano – shifting about a bit from track to track. Titles include “Mys-Story”, “At A Glance”, “In Spirit”, “The Trespasser”, “A Prayer”, and “Each One Teach One”. –Dusty Groove.com
