The Jazz Record Art Collective is proud to present a livestream and in-person performance featuring the Luke Malewicz Heritage Jazz Orchestra performing Count Basie’s "Kansas City Suite", released in 1960. The night will also feature live art by Arthur Wright!

ALBUM BACKGROUND:
“These two 1960 sessions gave Benny Carter a unique chance to write a full program for Count Basie's orchestra. Arranged as a type of suite, the ten originals pay tribute to the various Kansas City clubs that were active in the '30s when Basie was a resident. The band swings throughout as usual, with concise solos adding color to this memorable modern session.”

The Jazz Record Art Collective is proud to present a livestream and in-person performance featuring Chicago fusion group, General Zod performing Mahavishnu Orchestra's "Inner Mounting Flame", released in 1971. The night will also feature live art by Yvonne Doll!

ALBUM BACKGROUND:
"This is the album that made John McLaughlin a semi-household name, a furious, high-energy, yet rigorously conceived meeting of virtuosos that, for all intents and purposes, defined the fusion of jazz and rock a year after Miles Davis' Bitches Brew breakthrough. It also inadvertently led to the derogatory connotation of the word fusion, for it paved the way for an army of imitators, many of whose excesses and commercial panderings devalued the entire movement." -Richard S Ginell

The Jazz Record Art Collective is proud to present a livestream and in-person performance featuring Neil Carson's Day-Glo Freaks performing Steely Dan's "Gaucho", released in 1980.

ALBUM BACKGROUND:
"Steely Dan's  37-minute album Gaucho took two years to record and was the most expensive record ever made when it came out on November 21, 1980. The band’s seventh studio album, which followed the triumph of 1977’s Aja, was fraught with major tragedies during production. Gaucho is a testament to fine multitrack record-making, and the attention to detail was remarkable, even in the mixing stage. Despite all the difficulties, Gaucho was a huge commercial success. The New York Times declared it to be the best album of 1980." -Martin Chilton

The Jazz Record Art Collective is proud to present a livestream and in-person performance featuring the Joan Hickey Quintet performing Bill Evan's "Interplay", released in 1963. The night will also feature live art by Arthur Wright!

ALBUM BACKGROUND:
"Interplay stands as some of Bill Evans' most enigmatic and unusual music in makeup as well as execution. It was recorded in July 1962 with a very young Freddie Hubbard from the Jazz Messengers, guitarist Jim Hall, bassist Percy Heath, and drummer Philly Joe Jones performing five veteran standards. Evans has a more blues-based approach to playing: harder, edgier, and in full flow, fueled in no small part by Hall, who is at his very best here, swinging hard whether it be a ballad or an uptempo number. Hubbard's playing, on the other hand, was never so restrained as it was here. Using a mute most of the time, his lyricism is revealed to jazz listeners for the first time -- with Art Blakey it was a blistering attack of hard bop aggression."

The Jazz Record Art Collective is proud to present a livestream and in-person performance featuring Fareed Haque performing Pat Martino's 1977 release "Joyous Lake". The evening will also feature live painting from visual artist Alex Puryear.

ALBUM BACKGROUND:
"1977's Joyous Lake, that the increasingly well-known and already influential guitarist from Philadelphia took the big dive into electric waters, with a crack band of then-largely unknowns...for those who enjoy their fusion with a stronger tie to the tradition, even as its grooves and colors are irrefutably electric and in their energy, electrified, Joyous Lake remains an undervalued gem in Martino's discography, and one that absolutely merits Rediscovery.

The Jazz Record Art Collective is proud to present a livestream and in-person performance featuring the Jon Deitemyer Group performing Art Pepper's 1960 release ART PEPPER + ELEVEN. The evening will also feature live painting from visual artist John Airo!

ALBUM BACKGROUND:
"This is a true classic. Altoist Art Pepper is joined by an 11-piece band playing Marty Paich arrangements of a dozen jazz standards from the bop and cool jazz era...Throughout, Pepper sounds quite inspired by Paich's charts which feature the band as an active part of the music rather than just in the background. Highlights of this highly enjoyable set include "Move," "Four Brothers," "Shaw Nuff," "Anthropology," and "Donna Lee," but there is not a single throwaway track to be heard. Essential music for all serious jazz collections."

The Jazz Record Art Collective is proud to present a livestream and in-person performance featuring the Brown/Pratt Duo performing Herb Ellis & Joe Pass' "Two For The Road", released in 1974. The evening will also feature live painting from visual artist Emma Lyons!

ALBUM BACKGROUND:
"This recording was the third and final matchup between guitarists Herb Ellis and Joe Pass and, unlike the first two (which were both made for Concord), this is a duo date rather than a quartet session. Passwas just beginning to gain recognition for his remarkable unaccompanied solos, but Ellis had not recorded in such a sparse setting before. They complement each other quite well on such tunes as "Love for Sale," "Seven Come Eleven," "Oh, Lady Be Good," "I've Found a New Baby," and two versions of "Cherokee." Highly recommended." -Scott Yanow

The Jazz Record Art Collective is proud to present a livestream and in-person performance featuring Connor Bernhard Quintet performing John Coltrane's "My Favorite Things", released in 1961. The evening will also feature live painting from visual artist Ryan Miller.
 
ALBUM BACKGROUND:
"The ultimate listenability may reside in this quartet's capacity to not be overwhelmed by the soloist. Likewise, they are able to push the grooves along surreptitiously and unfettered. For instance, the support that the trio -- most notably (McCoy) Tyner -- gives to Coltrane on the title track winds the melody in and around itself. However, instead of becoming entangled and directionless, these musical sidebars simultaneously define the direction the song is taking."

The Jazz Record Art Collective is proud to present a livestream and in-person performance featuring the Harry Tonchev Trio performing Pat Metheny's "Question & Answer", released in 1989! The night will also feature live art by Kenny Lapins.

ALBUM BACKGROUND:
"From this combination of guitar, standup bass, and acoustic drum kit, you've got nine tracks of sheer jazz joy -- three guys just blowing for the hell of it, recorded on the fly. Pat Metheny's playing is definitely modernistic, highly fluid, almost liquid lightning -- no effects boxes here. This is an album with serious crossover potential, and it should definitely be heard by anyone serious about music in any way."

The Jazz Record Art Collective is proud to present a livestream performance featuring the Erik Skov Quartet performing Kurt Rosenwinkle's "Intuit", released in 1993.

ALBUM BACKGROUND:
"Intuit, a quartet session devoted entirely to standards, is not entirely representative of Kurt Rosenwinkel's art. However, it does reveal the depth of the guitarist's expertise in the bop idiom, and is therefore worth the attention of devoted fans. Rosenwinkel's sound throughout this straight-ahead excursion is fairly dry -- a touch of reverb, no shimmering delay, no ethereal vocalizing, a bit less distinctive than usual. His highly modern approach to harmony often comes through."

The Jazz Record Art Collective is proud to present a livestream performance featuring the Andrew Meyer Quintet performing Kai Winding & J.J. Johnson's "The Great Kai & J.J.", released in 1961. 

ALBUM BACKGROUND:
"This lively Impulse! set was the first recorded reunion of trombonists J.J. Johnson and Kai Winding. With pianist Bill Evans, either Paul Chambers or Tommy Williams on bass, and Roy Haynes or Art Taylor on drums, the two trombonists are in melodic and witty form on such tunes as "This Could Be the Start of Something Big," "Blue Monk," "Side by Side," and "Theme from Picnic." Recommended." -Scott Yanow
