Jimmy Farace - Hours Fly, Flower Die - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

'Big Shoulders, Big Sounds' is a raw, high-wire baritone sax trio album led by Jimmy Farace with Clark Sommers on bass and Dana Hall on drums. Rooted in the baritone lineage and the Chicago scene, the music balances tradition and risk-big sound, fearless improvisation, and deeply personal originals alongside respectful nods to the past. Album Tracks 1. Decorah's Dance 2. Just Us Blues 3. Prophetic Dreams 4. DST 5. I'll Be Seeing You 6. Cloud Splitter 7. Chelsea Bridge 8. Three Headed Dragon

The Fantastic Jimmy Smith is a collection of tunes that are believed to be the very first recordings of the great jazz organist Jimmy Smith as a leader fronting his own band, featuring the singing drummer Don Gardner. The recordings portray a young Jimmy Smith whose style is still in development and shows the direct influence of the great Wild Bill Davis. The album should be a real eye opener for those who are only familiar with Smith’s early work for the Blue Note tag. All selections have been newly remastered. Album Tracks 1. Stranger in Paradise 2. Jimmy's Jam 3. It's a Sin to Tell a Lie 4. I Can't Give You Anything But Love 5. I Had the Craziest Dream 6. Tell Me 7. I Hear a Rhapsody 8. Jeepers Creepers 9. Jimmy's Swing 10. Misery

Blazing with intensity and fluid grace, this debut ignites a fusion of jazz, rock, and Latin fire, each track flickering with bold improvisation and masterful interplay. Melodic embers smolder, rhythms spark, and the ensemble's searing energy keeps the flames dancing from start to finish. Album Tracks 1. Inside My Love 2. Minha Saudade 3. Wooden Ships 4. Castles of Spain 5. Flight to Tel Aviv 6. Circle of Fire 7. Mellow 8. Sharyna
