Ronnie Cuber - Four

Styles: Saxophone Jazz
Year: 2019
File: MP3@320K/s
Time: 66:43
Size: 153,9 MB
Art: Front

(4:50)  1. Battery Blues
(7:24)  2. Sidewinder
(5:28)  3. Motivation
(9:17)  4. Tenderly
(6:56)  5. Just Friends
(6:14)  6. Bluesette
(5:24)  7. Coming Home Baby
(6:02)  8. How High the Moon
(8:49)  9. Sugar
(6:15) 10. Four

Ronnie Cuber's always a hell of a swinger, but he sounds especially nice here  really letting his baritone hit some bold, soulful sounds in the company of Hammond organist Brian Charette, guitarist Ed Cherry, and drummer Adam Nussbaum! The record's got this soul jazz vibe that's a bit different than some of Cuber's other records and features a number of tunes penned by older heroes of the genre – like Horace Silver, Lee Morgan, Stanley Turrentine, and others – which makes for a set of songs that has Ronnie sounding completely wonderful all the way through. There's few cats who could ever make a baritone sax sound this wonderful – and we think you'll agree after hearing tracks that include "Four", "Battery Blues", "Bluesette", "Coming Home Baby", "Sugar", and "Motivation". https://www.dustygroove.com/item/936387/Ronnie-Cuber:Four

Personnel: Ronnie Cuber – baritone saxophone; Ed Cherry – guitar; Brian Charette – Hammond B3.; Adam Nussbaum – drums

Cannonball Adderley - Quintet In Chicago

Styles: Saxophone Jazz

Year: 1959
File: MP3@320K/s
Time: 34:03
Size: 78,2 MB
Art: Front

(4:40)  1. Limehouse Blues
(6:14)  2. Stars Fell on Alabama
(5:46)  3. Wabash
(4:33)  4. Grand  Central
(5:34)  5. You' re A Weaver Of Dreams
(7:13)  6. The Sleeper

This exciting session consists of the 1959 edition of The Miles Davis Sextet minus its leader, though it was later reissued as Cannonball & Coltrane, as there was evidence that both men had considerable input into the date. A brisk "Limehouse Blues" features great exchanges between the saxophonists, while Adderley's soulful "Wabash" is more easygoing. This newly remastered CD is a distinct improvement over the earlier retitled reissue. ~ Ken Dryden  http://www.allmusic.com/album/cannonball-adderley-quintet-in-chicago-mw0000088595

Cannonball Adderley Quintet: Cannonball Adderley (alto saxophone); John Coltrane (tenor saxophone); Wynton Kelly (piano); Paul Chambers (bass); Jimmy Cobb (drums).

Bobby Hutcherson - Stick Up!

Styles: Vibraphone Jazz
Year: 1997
File: MP3@320K/s
Time: 40:26
Size: 93,1 MB
Art: Front

(6:26)  1. Una Muy Bonita
(6:58)  2. 8/4 Beat
(6:59)  3. Summer Nights
(6:57)  4. Black Circle
(9:32)  5. Verse
(3:32)  6. Blues Mind Matter

One of Bobby Hutcherson's best albums, Stick-Up! was also his first official release not to feature drummer Joe Chambers, who was a major part of Hutcherson's outside leanings. Instead, Stick-Up! stakes out the middle ground between hard bop and the avant-garde, offering a set of structured yet advanced modal pieces indebted particularly to Coltrane. Hutcherson's originals (five out of six selections) show him at the top of his game as a composer, and the ensemble's playing is tight and focused throughout, but what really lifts Stick-Up! to the top tier of Hutcherson's discography is its crackling energy. It's quite possibly the hardest-swinging album he ever cut, and part of the credit has to go to the stellar rhythm section of McCoy Tyner on piano, Herbie Lewis on bass, and Billy Higgins on drums, who lay down a driving, pulsating foundation that really pushes Hutcherson and tenorist Joe Henderson. Tyner in particular is a standout, charging relentlessly forward on the intricate "8/4 Beat" and "Black Circle" and lending a Coltrane-ish flavor to the spiritually searching "Verse." The lone non-Hutcherson piece, Ornette Coleman's sometimes overlooked "Una Muy Bonita," is given a fantastic, rollicking treatment as catchy as it is progressive, proving that the piece is a classic regardless of whether it's interpreted freely or with a steady groove and tonal center. Hutcherson's originals are uniformly strong and memorable enough to sit very well next to it, and that coupled with the energetic performances ranks Stick-Up! with Dialogue and Components as the finest work of Hutcherson's tenure at Blue Note.
