Music Matters by AP
Nuova Serie 45rpm
BLUE NOTE
Dal gennaio 2008 la AP ha deciso di pubblicare un nuovo gruppo di 25+25 titoli che hanno fatto la storia del jazz, questa volta dal fantastico catalogo BLUE NOTE. This reissue series will follow the aforementioned ultra-successful formula: Incredible jazz records + the original analog master tapes + cut at 45 RPM + mastered by Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman at AcousTech + pressed on two 180-gram virgin vinyl LPs by RTI = THE ULTIMATE LP REISSUE
Si tratta di 25 titoli scelti che verranno pubblicati a 2 a 2 a cadenza circa mensile. Solo 1000 copie verranno stampate per ogni titolo, tutte numerate! Le prime 100 sono numerate e firmate da Steve Hoffman e Kevin Gray (esaurite da molto tempo). Dalla 101 alla 250 sono numerate e riservate alle collezioni complete (esaurite) composte dai 25 titoli TUTTI col medesimo numero di serie! Le copie rimanenti sono riservate alla vendita titolo per titolo. Ogni disco è DOPPIO, su supporto da 180gr inciso su entrambi i lati.
The Big Beat Art Blakey (AMMJ 4029)
2 dischi 180gr
Art Blakey was one of the greatest of all jazz drummers, a masterful talent scout and the inspiring leader of the Jazz Messengers. For 35 years (1955-90), the Jazz Messengers featured brilliant young talent who were pushed by Blakey to write new music and play at their very best. Few lineups could compete with the 1960 edition of the Jazz Messengers featured on The Big Beat. Blakey, the "old man" of the band at 30, is joined by bassist Jymie Merritt and three brilliant stylists who were not only exciting soloists but very skilled songwriters: trumpeter Lee Morgan, tenor-saxophonist Wayne Shorter and pianist Bobby Timmons.

Speakin' My Piece Horace Parlan Trio (AMMJ 4043)
2 dischi 180gr
Like Django Reinhardt, Horace Parlan did the impossible and turned a disability into an advantage. Stricken with polio as a youth that left him with a partially paralyzed right hand, Parlan became a major jazz pianist who developed a highly original rhythmic style. By the time he recorded the classic Speakin' My Piece in 1960, he had convinced Charles Mingus (who hired him in 1957) that he was one of the most soulful pianists on the scene.
