Immanuel Wilkins - Immanuel Wilkins Quartet: Live At The Village Vanguard, Vol. 1 - VINYL LP

The Apex of Miles Davis' Electric Period Agharta Blows Minds with Funk-Rock Jazz Thrills, Improvisational Surprises, Band Chemistry, and Rule-Breaking FreedomSourced from the Original Master Tapes Mobile Fidelity's 180g 33RPM 2LP Set Presents 1975 Live Album in Audiophile Sound, Plays with a Scope That Matches the MusicThe capstone of Miles Davis' electric period, Agharta reigns as a funk-rock fireball - a blazing comet streaked energy and elan, a fearless organism feasting on adventure and freedom, a sevenheaded Godzilla stomping it's way through Osaka, Japan. Recorded on February 1, 1975 at Osaka Festival Hall at the first of a two-show stand, the double album offers an endless abundance of surprises and shifts - as well as a road-proven ensemble whose chemistry and abilities equal that of any of Davis' celebrated bands. If the true measure of jazz is the capacity to adapt to the moment and challenge perception, Agharta is consummate.Sourced from the original master tapes, housed in a Stoughton gatefold jacket, and pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing in California, Mobile Fidelity's numbered-edition 180g 33RPM 2LP set of this epic live presents it in audiophile sound on a domestic pressing for the first time. Offering greater degrees of separation, detail, and richness than the compressed CD editions and more clarity, openness, and presence than older vinyl versions, this reissue of the 1975 helps bring the concert stage to your home. Just make sure your turntable and speakers are up to the challenge of Davis and Co.'s explosive performances - and producing the decibels they demand.1/4' / 15 IPS ANALOG MASTER DSD 256 ANALOG CONSOLE LATHENumbered 180g 33RPM Vinyl 2LPNUMBERED SPECIAL EDITIONTrack ListSide One Prelude (Part I)Side Two Prelude (Part II)MaiyshaSide Three InterludeSide Four Theme from Jack Johnson Album Tracks 1.

HERBIE NICHOLS TRIO - Herbie Nichols was one of the most original pianists and composers in Jazz history. Blue Note founder Alfred Lion considered him to be as unique and important a voice as Thelonious Monk, another singular talent who Lion was the first to record a few years before he signed Nichols in 1955. Little-known during his lifetime, recognition has begun to grow in recent decades for Nichols' incredibly hip, angular compositions, each of which were miniature marvels built with their own sturdy inner logic. Following his introduction on the two 10Inch LPs The Prophetic Herbie Nichols, Vol. 1 and Vol. 2., Nichols returned to Rudy Van Gelder's Hackensack, New Jersey studio in August 1955 with drummer Max Roach and bassist Al McKibbon-and again in April 1956 with Roach and bassist Teddy Kotick-for sessions that produced Herbie Nichols Trio (BLP 1519). This 12Inch LP was another collection of idiosyncratic Nichols originals including InchThe Gig,Inch InchHouse Party Starting,Inch InchWildflower,Inch and perhaps his best-known composition InchLady Sings the BluesInch which was written for Billie Holiday.

Saxophonist/composer Immanuel Wilkins' 3rd studio album, Blues Blood, is a meditative offering partially inspired by his childhood, a multimedia performance about the legacies of our ancestors and the bloodlines connecting us. Co-produced by Meshell Ndegeocello and feat. Micah Thomas (piano), Rick Rosato (bass), Kweku Sumbry (drums), and vocalists Ganavya, June McDoom and Yaw Agyeman - with guest appearances by vocalist Cécile McLorin Salvant, Marvin Sewell (guitar), and Chris Dave (drums) - it's his most ambitious LP to date. Blues Blood marks the first time he's included vocalists on an album, with each distinctive voice tapping into different aspects of heritage. Blues Blood feels airy and celestial - a soothing balm for anyone searching for peace, and for Black people trying to reconcile history in a country that tries to erase it. It explores 'blues' as a symbol of radical optimism in the face of adversity and 'blood' as a symbol of all things ancestral and generational. 2 LP set. Album Tracks 1. Matte Glaze 2. Funmi 3.
