 Hank Mobley - A Slice of the Top LP (Blue Note Tone Poet Series)

Hank Mobley - A Slice of the Top LP (Blue Note Tone Poet Series) - Blue Note Records

Tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley had already been building a formidable Blue Note catalog for more than a decade when he conceived of his unique album A Slice of the Top, which was recorded in 1966 but not first released until 1979 as part of the LT Series. Inspired by Miles Davis’ Birth of the Cool, Mobley collaborated with Duke Pearson who arranged four Mobley originals and the pop standard “There’s a Lull In My Life” for an octet that added Kiane Zawadi’s euphonium and Howard Johnson’s tuba to a group consisting of James Spaulding on alto saxophone and flute, Lee Morgan on trumpet, McCoy Tyner on piano, Bob Cranshaw on bass, and Billy Higgins on drums. Behold Mobley’s lyrical flights on standout tunes including “Hank’s Other Bag,” “A Touch of Blue,” and “A Slice of the Top.”

 Freddie Roach - Good Move LP (Blue Note Tone Poet Series)

Freddie Roach - Good Move LP (Blue Note Tone Poet Series) - Blue Note Records

In the 1960s, Blue Note’s roster of organists was second to none with leading Hammond B3 practitioners like Jimmy Smith, Big John Patton, and Larry Young each honing their own distinctive styles on the instrument. Freddie Roach was first introduced to Blue Note listeners on Ike Quebec’s albums Heavy Soul and It Might As Well Be Spring and soon began his own run of leader dates for the label including the 1963 standout Good Move featuring Blue Mitchell on trumpet, Hank Mobley on tenor saxophone, Eddie Wright on guitar, and Clarence Johnston on drums. This soul jazz classic makes all the right moves with set highlights including “When Malindy Sings,” an Oscar Brown song that was performed by Abbey Lincoln, and Roach’s own church-rooted “Wine, Wine, Wine” and “On Our Way Up,” an uplifting anthem that he wrote on the day of the historic March on Washington.

Blue Note 85
 Grant Green - Idle Moments

Grant Green - Idle Moments - Blue Note Records

Grant Green - "Idle Moments" [Blue LP] Time and troubles seem to melt away during the fifteen enrapturing minutes of "Idle Moments," the opening track of Grant Green's sublime 1963 album of the same name. As the piece unhurriedly unfurls, all the unique colors of the ensemble present themselves with Green's soulful guitar joined by Duke Pearson's elegant piano, Bobby Hutcherson's crystalline vibraphone, Bob Cranshaw's reassuring upright bass, Al Harewood's subtle drums and Joe Henderson's magnificent tenor saxophone. The pace quickens for the rest of this tremendous set, including the nimble Green original "Jean de Fleur," a bluesy take on John Lewis' MJQ standard "Django," and a driving performance of Pearson's original, "Nomad." Indie Exclusive Blue 180gram LP. Limited Edition.

Blue Note 85
 Herbie Hancock - Maiden Voyage

Herbie Hancock - Maiden Voyage - Blue Note Records

Herbie Hancock -"Maiden Voyage" [Blue LP] Even by the high-water marks set by Herbie Hancock's tremendous 1960s output for Blue Note, 1965's Maiden Voyage remains one of the pinnacle artistic achievements of the great pianist's career. Hancock is joined by his Miles David Quintet bandmates, Ron Carter (bass), Tony Williams (drums), Freddie Hubbard (trumpet) and George Coleman (tenor saxophone). The quintet embarks on an oceanic exploration of five original Hancock compositions, several of which have since become enduring standards of the jazz lexicon, including "Eye of the Hurricane," "Dolphin Dance" and the title track. Indie Exclusive 180gram Blue LP. Limited Edition.

What's New 11-29-24

Michael & The Mighty Midnight Revival
Loma Vista Recordings

The Run the Jewels rapper follows up last year’s Grammys-sweeping Michael with an album of soulful rewinds and combative new tracks addressing a tumultuous few months. The curveball third act of Michael Santiago Render’s hip-hop career has been no less surprising, nor exciting, to behold.

Kim Deal
4AD

On the Breeders bandleader’s first-ever solo album, produced by the late Steve Albini, a thread of loss and grief gets tucked into a body of work that’s ageless and ever-evolving. It’s a singularly uplifting, life-affirming listen, where joy and despair are irrevocably entwined, and kept afloat by Deal’s unfailing lightness of touch.

Body Count
Century Media

The pioneering rap metal band returns with their much-anticipated 8th album. After persevering through personal tragedies, social opposition, and an army of naysayers, Ice-T and his crew emerge with more rage than ever. Featuring George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher (Cannibal Corpse), Joe Bad (Fit For An Autopsy), and Max Cavalera (Soulfly).

Distant
Century Media

Tsukuyomi: The Origin neatly ties together the past and the present, possessing enough combustible elements to level a small continent with its incredible array of guest vocalists bringing their signature swagger to proceedings. The deathcore powerhouse continue to showcase why they are deservedly amongst the top of the pack.

Marilyn Manson
Nuclear Blast

If you’re a Marilyn Manson fan, you are going to be eating very well here. If you’re a casual listener or a fan of industrial rock with a twist, you’ll still thoroughly enjoy what One Assassination Under God - Chapter 1 has to offer. A well-crafted album with a lot to unpack.

Defeated Sanity
Season of Mist

The beauty in the snarling and crushing atmosphere that Defeated Sanity creates exists in its ability to switch from knuckle-scraping slam to finger-testing climb. Chronicles of Lunacy, as a honed interpretation of the band’s already proven work, finds an easy spot in the upper tier of their storied catalog—and it doubles as a killer neck exercise.

The Smashing Pumpkins
Thirty Tiges / Martha’s Music

A bruising and shadowy return to form from original Smashing Pumpkins members Jimmy Chamberlin, James Iha, and Billy Corgan. Recorded in the immediate aftermath of their 33-song concept album, Atum, Aghori Mhori Mei harkens back to the band’s early 90’s canon; where guitars, bass, drums, and spiking vocals ruled.

Linkin Park
Warner Records

Coming seven years after the death of the beloved frontman Chester Bennington, From Zero manages to sound refreshed and current without denying the past. Linkin Park were always unafraid to take sonic risks, and another sonic risk is exactly what their comeback constitutes – one that has handsomely paid off.

The Beatles - 1964 US Albums (In Mono)
 

The Beatles - 1964 US Albums (In Mono) - Capitol

1964 was the year that the U.S. first fell head-over-heels for The Beatles, with an unprecedented run of albums and singles topping the charts and going on to sell millions of copies. But these albums are not simply replicas of the 1963 and 1964 albums released by Parlophone in the U.K. and rest of world. Seeing a different opportunity, Capitol Records and United Artists compiled these albums for U.S. release between January 1964 and March 1965.

To celebrate the momentous year when Beatlemania exploded across the U.S., seven Beatles albums are collected for a spectacular new 8-LP vinyl box set. Meet The Beatles!; The Beatles’ Second Album; A Hard Day’s Night (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack); Something New; The Beatles’ Story (2-LP); Beatles ’65; and The Early Beatles all feature faithfully replicated artwork and new four-panel inserts with essays written by American Beatles historian and author Bruce Spizer. The albums’ new vinyl lacquers were cut by Kevin Reeves at Nashville’s East Iris Studios with constant reference to the original vinyl first pressings to ensure they are faithful to the original release, while also enabling more musical information to be heard than was possible before. 180-gram audiophile pressing.
