The Jazz Record Art Collective is proud to present a livestream performance featuring the Brown/Pratt Duo performing Herb Ellis & Joe Pass' "Two For The Road", released in 1974.

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 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."
-David Adler

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

The Jazz Record Art Collective is proud to present a livestream performance featuring The Andrew Distrel Trio performing Chet Baker's "The Touch of Your Lips", released in 1979! 

ALBUM BACKGROUND:
The Touch of Your Lips was recorded in 1979 and released on the Danish SteepleChase label. This was the perfect setting during his later years. Chet Baker sounds very relaxed and comfortable while accompanied by the duo of guitarist Doug Raney and bassist Niels Pedersen, taking some consistently lyrical solos on the six standards. -Scott Yanow

Sunday, December 20th at 8pm:
The Jazz Record Art Collective is proud to present a livestream performance featuring The Geof Bradfield Trio performing Jimmy Guiffre's "The Easy Way", released in 1958! The evening will also feature live art by Karen Parisian.

ALBUM BACKGROUND:
Jimmy Giuffre's small-group recordings of the late '50s and early '60s are renowned for his lyrical tone and intimate chamber jazz settings. Joined frequently by collaborator Jim Hall on guitar and bassist Ray Brown, Giuffre primarily sticks to clarinet in his interpretations of the standards "Mack the Knife" and "Come Rain or Come Shine." Switching to tenor sax, Giuffre negotiates Jim Hall's tricky "Careful," though it is Hall's bluesy solo that is the highlight of this track. Giuffre's "Ray's Time" is a blues dedicated to Brown, featuring his driving bass underneath the leader's smoky tenor sax. Giuffre's effort on baritone sax, "Time Enough," makes it obvious that this isn't his primary instrument; his sound is much harsher and less melodic than either clarinet or tenor sax. -Ken Dryden

The Jazz Record Art Collective is proud to present a livestream performance featuring the Jon Deitemyer Quartet performing Joe Henderson's "FOUR!", released in 1968. The night will also feature live art by Arthur Wright!

ALBUM BACKGROUND:
"This live session from 1968 features the great tenor Joe Henderson playing for the first and possibly only time with the Wynton Kelly Trio. Henderson, pianist Kelly, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Jimmy Cobb really stretch out on six standards... Henderson really pushes the rhythm section (which, although they had not played with the tenor previously, had been together for a decade) and he is certainly inspired by their presence. This is a frequently exciting performance by some of the modern bop greats of the era." -Scott Yanow

The Jazz Record Art Collective is proud to bring back the Richard Johnson Quartet for a livestream performance of Dave Brubeck’s "Time Out", released in 1958. The night will also feature live art by Lewis Achenbach.

ALBUM BACKGROUND:
“Dave Brubeck's defining masterpiece, ‘Time Out’ is one of the most rhythmically innovative albums in jazz history, the first to consciously explore time signatures outside of the standard 4/4 beat or 3/4 waltz time…It doesn't just sound sophisticated -- it really is sophisticated music, which lends itself to cerebral appreciation, yet never stops swinging. Countless other musicians built on its pioneering experiments, yet it's amazingly accessible for all its advanced thinking, a rare feat in any art form.” ~Steve Huey

Wednesday, December 2nd at 8pm:
The Jazz Record Art Collective is proud to present a livestream performance featuring the Tonchev/Crawford Duo performing Jim Hall & Ron Carter's "Alone Together", released in 1972.

ALBUM BACKGROUND:
"Long considered a classic and a revelation to listeners who had taken guitarist Jim Hall for granted, this set of duets with bassist Ron Carter (reissued on CD) has near-telepathic communication between the two musicians and quiet music full of inner tension and fire. Hall and Carter brought in an original apiece and also collaborated on six standards, including "St. Thomas," "Softly As in a Morning Sunrise," "Autumn Leaves," and "Alone Together." Introspective and thought-provoking music."

Wednesday, November 18th at 8pm:
The Jazz Record Art Collective is proud to present a livestream performance featuring the Alyssa Allgood Quintet performs Abbey Lincoln's "You Gotta Pay The Band", released in 1991.

ALBUM BACKGROUND:
"Stan Getz is featured on one of his final recordings on this excellent Abbey Lincoln CD; Getz's cool tenor fits in very well with Lincoln's voice, making one wish that they had met up previously. With pianist Hank Jones, bassist Charlie Haden, drummer Mark Johnson, and (on two songs) Maxine Roach's viola completing the group, it is not surprising that Lincoln sounds typically inspired. Actually, her version of "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?" is a bit of a misfire with its dated lyrics (which should have been modified and altered to fit a female). However, "Bird Alone," Freddie Hubbard's "Up Jumped Spring" (given lyrics by Lincoln), and five of her originals more than compensate. Recommended." -Scott Yanow

The Jazz Record Art Collective is proud to present a livestream performance with the Luke Malewicz Quintet performing Frank Rosolino's "Free For All", released in 1958!

ALBUM BACKGROUND:
“The fine bop trombonist Frank Rosolino teams up with tenor saxophonist Harold Land and a West Coast rhythm section (pianist Victor Feldman, bassist Leroy Vinnegar and drummer Stan Levey) for a set of standards and melodic group originals. Originally cut for Specialty, the formerly rare session has its strong moments although it is not really all that essential but fans of Rosolino and Land will want to get it.”
