REECE, DIZZY	Asia Minor	LP	HONEY PIE RECORDS	HONEY 099LP
$24.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/18/2024 Jamaican-born jazz trumpeter Dizzy Reece recorded one of his best opus in 1962. Released on the New Jazz label the album featured greats such as bassist Ron Carter, renowned saxophonist Cecil Payne and pianist Hank Jones, it's a beautifully recorded and sequenced album, the compositions reflecting Reece's interest in the music of the Asian continent and regions of North Africa, with each piece transitioning nicely into the next. Asia Minor would be the last session Reece would lead until 1967/68. A fixture of the European jazz scene of the '50s, Reece came to New York in 1959. This intriguing, Eastern-flavored date, is still regarded has one of the best examples of cross-pollination in the jazz genre.

SCHIFRIN, LALO	Piano Espaniol	LP	HONEY PIE RECORDS	HONEY 100LP
$24.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/18/2024 Piano Español is led by Lalo Schifrin on piano with the colorful rhythms of Latin America and Spain. The record treats listeners to a listening panorama of the multi-talents of Lalo Schifrin. He wrote all the arrangements and it is this writing, along with his piano interpretations that set this recording apart. Lalo is devilishly clever. He gives listeners an ample smattering of Latin jazz through the use of four trumpets, five saxes, oboe and bongo drums as his piano cuts through "Frenesí", "My Shawl" and "El Cumbanchero." In the latter, Lalo displays his command of jazz piano and the unusual speed of his hands along the keyboard.

PUENTE, TITO	Afro-Cuban Percussion	LP	HONEY PIE RECORDS	HONEY 098LP
$24.00 NOT IN STOCK Timbalero and vibraphonist Ernesto Antonio "Tito" Puente (1923-2000) is known for his Latin albums, their convoluted but accessible and feisty percussion segues and the introduction of the Mambo subgenre to North American ears. There is, however, only one album where he truly concentrates on the Latinized percussion side of things, and it may be both his most experimental or reduced and his best exotic work at the same time. This 1957 recordings -- originally by the name of Top Percussion -- brought together Tito, Mongo Santamaria, Willie Bobo, Aguabella, and Julito Collazo on percussion with vocalists that included Mercedita Valdez, in seven wonderful cuts of traditional and (then) contemporary Afro-Cuban skin-on-skin. Then as an unexpected gift, there is a seven-minute Latin-jazz suite featuring Puente's considerable jazz-arranger head and a powerful band with Doc Severinson on lead trumpet.

FARMER/DONALD BYRD/IDREES SULIEMAN, ART	Three Trumpets	LP	HONEY PIE RECORDS	HONEY 097LP
$24.00 IN STOCK Three Trumpets is an album by the Prestige All Stars nominally led by trumpeters Art Farmer, Donald Byrd, and Idrees Sulieman, recorded in 1957 and released on the New Jazz label. With a fine rhythm section (comprised of pianist Hod O'Brien, bassist Addison Farmer, and drummer Ed Thigpen), the brassmen perform five originals (one apiece from Farmer, Byrd, and O'Brien, and two from Sulieman). Although none of the songs caught on ("Palm Court Alley" is actually a blues), there are some fireworks during these performances.

DOLPHY, ERIC	The Complete Uppsala Concert Vol. 1	LP	HONEY PIE RECORDS	HONEY 094LP
$24.00 IN STOCK Recorded live in Sweden in September 1961, the Uppsala Concert is an important document from Dolphy's first Swedish tour as leader of an obscure but talented local quartet featuring Rony Johansson (piano), Kurt Lindgren (bass), and Rune Carlsson (drums). Master Dolphy shines, as always, on all his instruments alto sax, bass clarinet, and flute, while the track list consists of a rare mix of standards such as Milt Jackson's "Bags Groove," Monk's "52nd Street Theme," Cole Porter's "What Is This Thing Called Love?" and the famous unaccompanied alto sax version of "Laura," all this plus a 20-minutes-long version of Dolphy's blues "245" where every single note played by Dolphy sounds as pure gold.

JAMAL TRIO, THE AHMAD	Chamber Music Of The New Jazz	LP	HONEY PIE RECORDS	HONEY 095LP
$24.00 IN STOCK Often taken as inspiration by the likes of Miles Davis and Gil Evans, Ahmad Jamal is definitely one of the greatest artists in jazz history.

KOMEDA, KRZYSZTOF	Jazz Jamboree 63	LP	HONEY PIE RECORDS	HONEY 093LP
$24.00 IN STOCK This is the legendary Krzystof Komeda Quintet caught live at the Jazz Jamboree Festival in Warsaw in 1963. A marvelous combo featuring some of the greatest Polish jazz musicians such as Tomasz Stanko (trumpet), Michal Urbaniak (tenor sax), Maciej Suzin (bass), and Czeslaw Bartowski (drums). Komeda, Stanko and Urbaniak were sort of pioneers who effectively opened up a way for jazz in Poland. Komeda's fluent modern jazz conception was a perfect synthesis between the American influence and a certain Slavic lyricism. The album includes an astonishing version of "Ballad -- From Knife In Water" from Komeda's soundtrack for the 1962 Roman Polanski movie. A major statement in the East European music history.

CACHAO	Cuban Music In Jam Session	LP	HONEY PIE RECORDS	HONEY 092LP
$24.00 LOW STOCK LEVEL Double bassist and composer Cachao Lopez was one of the greatest personalities in the history of Cuban music. A true innovator who already in the '40s pioneered a new exciting form of dance music subsequently worldwide known as mambo. Cuban Music in Jam Session stands as one of his classic albums from the late '50s. A great example of Cachao's innovative jam sessions called "descargas" where various legendary musicians such as tenor sax player Emilio Penalver and trumpeters Armando "Chocolate" Armenteros and Alejandro "Negro" Vivar, improvise over highly infectious grooves and rhythms laid down by Cachao himself on bass and a bunch of super tight percussionists. A great statement from the Latin music golden era!

ABDUL-MALIK, AHMED	East Meets West	LP	HONEY PIE RECORDS	HONEY 090LP
$24.00 IN STOCK Ahmed Abdul-Malik was best known to jazz listeners as a bassist with Thelonious Monk, Randy Weston, Coleman Hawkins, and many others. He made a few records as a leader, with this one being his most exotic. The Brooklyn native was of Sudanese descent; in addition to playing bass, he also plays oud, the forerunner to the lute. Originally released in 1960, this album is rich and heady, a multi-layered set of tonal grooves that are wrapped tight beneath the melody lines. The musicians on Malik's eight originals vary from track to track. On the mournful "La Ibky (Don't Cry)," Malik's oud shares the spotlight with a tenor sax (either Benny Golson or Johnny Griffin) plus trumpeter Lee Morgan. "Rooh (The Soul)" features the 72-string kanoon (which is sort of a brittle sounding and much smaller harp) played by Ahmed Yetman, along with Malik's arco bass and the droning violin of Naim Karacand. His ability to fuse Western jazz with the driving rhythms created by his oud that seems almost sequenced, are startling.

KOMEDA, KRZYSZTOF	Ballet Etudes	LP	HONEY PIE RECORDS	HONEY 091LP
$24.00 IN STOCK Recorded at the 1962 Jazz Jamboree festival in Warsaw and originally released in 1963 on Danish Metronome label, here's a true gem from one of the most important figures in Polish music and a founding father of European jazz. Ballet Etudes was one of the three full LPs released during Krzysztof Komeda's short lifetime. His fluent modern jazz conception was a perfect synthesis between the American influence and the European harmonic complexity, a unique kind of marriage colored by a clear Slavic lyricism. For many years considered a rare collector item Ballet Etudes comes back to life as a major statement in East-European music history. Featuring Allan Botschinsky (trumpet), Jan Wróblewski (tenor sax), Krzysztof Komeda (piano), Roman Dylag (bass), and Rune Carlsson (drums).

The whole album is a treat!

The album sees Scott joining a local Marabi dance band called Alexandra Dead End Kids and playing live with his jazz quartet in front of hyper-enthusiastic crowds. It's great to hear his masterful clarinet splitting between the penny whistle sound of South African folk tunes and the virtuosity of a real jazz performance. This disc reveals Scott's great versatility, high spirit and deep love for music and people.

$24.00 IN STOCK All of You is a live album by American jazz pianist Ahmad Jamal featuring performances recorded at Jamal's own club in Chicago in 1961 and released originally on the Argo label. Jamal's group had a personal sound of its own, often playing quietly and leaving space but never losing the passion. These versions of "Time on My Hands," "Star Eyes" and "All of You" in particular are well worth hearing. On the cover, photographed by Don Bronstein, one of the first staff photographers for Playboy magazine, Jamal sits in an MAA chair, designed by George Nelson.

ELLINGTON, DUKE	Afro Bossa	LP	HONEY PIE RECORDS	HONEY 082LP
$24.00 IN STOCK Reissue, originally released in 1963. This is a majestic piece of work. Considered as one of Duke Ellington's best studio recordings of the sixties this is also an essential mosaic piece within Duke's open wide Afro-centric vision.

REDD, VI	Bird Call	LP	HONEY PIE RECORDS	HONEY 081LP
$24.00 IN STOCK Reissue, originally released in 1962.

Another invaluable document from the historical yet unknown LA's black community jazz scene.
