Donald Byrd at the Half Note Cafe, Vol. 1 [LP] [VINYL]

Double vinyl LP pressing. For the first time on vinyl,  Keep Movin' On, a 23-song collection that encompasses some of Sam Cooke's best loved and most incisive songs and represents the artist both at the very pinnacle and, tragically, at the very end of his ground breaking career.  The songs that comprise Keep Movin' On were, for the most part, written and produced by Sam Cooke following his successful fight for complete creative and economic control over his recordings and repertoire. The notion of artistic self-determination was an unheard-of concept for virtually any recording artist, let alone a young rhythm and blues singer in the early 1960s. Reatures an essay by notable Sam Cooke biographer Peter Guralnick, written expressly for the initial CD in 2001. Guralnick defines Cooke's recordings sound Inchas spontaneous, as elegant, as full of mirth, sadness, and surprise as when it first came out of his mouth, translating somehow across the ages in ways that have little to do with calculation or fashion and everything to do with spontaneity of feeling, with a kind of purity of soul.

When considering the jazz vibraphone giants of the 20th century, seven stand out Lionel Hampton, Red Norvo, Milt Jackson, Terry Gibbs, Cal Tjader, Gary Burton, and Bobby Hutcherson. Bobby Hutcherson (1941-2016), originally inspired by Milt Jackson, emerged from Los Angeles in the late 1950s. After a stint with the Billy MitchellAl Grey sextet in 1962, Hutcherson moved to New York, becoming the house vibraphonist for the Blue Note tag. His foundation in hard bop did not limit him, as he also played in avant-garde sessions with artists like Eric Dolphy and Jackie McLean. On December 11, 1983, the 42-year-old Hutcherson performed seven standards with a stellar group. Pianist George Cables, consistently excellent throughout his career, had been working with Hutcherson since 1977. Bassist Herbie Lewis, a versatile musician, had collaborated with Hutcherson since 1966. Drummer Philly Joe Jones, known for his work with Miles Davis, also contributed to the session. The recording of the Four Seasons album features seven standards, starting with Thelonious Monk's 'I Mean You, ' which showcases each musician. Hutcherson's solo on Cole Porter's 'All Of You' is particularly adventurous. 'Spring Is Here' receives a beautiful interpretation, and 'Star Eyes' is taken uptempo. Hutcherson's introduction on 'If I Were A Bell' is notable, as is Jones's solo. The session spotlights Cables on 'Summertime' and concludes with a vibrant version of 'Autumn Leaves. ' Decades later, the music remains a timeless classic. Four Seasons is available on black vinyl, celebrates it's 40th Anniversary, and includes an insert with newly written liner-notes by Scott Yanow. LISTEN //youtu.
