Blue Mitchell, Down With It, 1966 on Blue Note

Another fantastic Blue Note jazz LP, this came out originally in 1966. It features Mitchell (trumpet) with Junior Cook (tenor sax), Chick Corea (piano), Gene Taylor (bass), and Aloysius Foster (drums), and was recorded at Van Gelder Studios in New Jersey.

My copy- via a private sale – is the Blue Note Tone Poet reissue from 2024, cut by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio and pressed at RTI. Great sound and packaging.

Bud Powell, Time Waits (The Amazing Bud Powell, Volume 4), 1958 on Blue Note

Powell joined by Sam Jones and Philly Joe Jones, recorded by Rudy Van Gelder in Hackensack NJ, and produced by Alfred Lion. Sleeve notes by Leonard Feather.

My copy is the 2022 Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series reissue, pressed at Optimal GmbH and mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent – wonderful pressing.

Wayne Shorter, Schizophrenia, 1969 on Blue Note

Eleventh Wayne Shorter album, with Herbie Hancock, Curtis Fuller, Ron Carter, James Spaulding, and Joe Chambers. Recorded by Rudy Van Gelder, with Francis Wolff producing.

This is transitional between post-bop and free jazz – looser and closer to the edge than my normal taste, but worth a listen for anyone interested in post-bop or Shorter and Hancock.

My copy as part of the Story of Blue Note Records VMP Anthology, 2024 reissue.

The glass of Bordeaux that I’ve been slowly sipping on is almost empty, and I’m not far from flipping this record to side 2. Relaxing in a comfy chair listening to great music is one of life’s greatest pleasures. Added this to an order from a Discogs seller because it was 5 bucks…it’s in pristine condition, and sounds amazing - even though it’s one of those thin floppy records! (Eat your heart out heavyweight vinyl people!) And the streak of “I have never been disappointed by a #BlueNote” continues. After side B I expect a glorious slumber.

This is an even better set than the last one, with great playing by Jones, Percy Heath (bass), Max Roach (drums), Barry Harris (piano), and Billy Mitchell (sax).

“[Little Big] feels like … a project that I’m going to keep turning to throughout the years. All of us in the band have a feeling of fellowship that we’ve started to build that is very special. The band also feels like an outlet for something I’m after creatively. I feel there’s something here with this particular intersection of different styles of music in the music we’re making. There’s still a lot more to find.” - Aaron Parks

Annie Lennox, Nostalgia, 2014 on Blue Note

Annie Lennox is of course best well known as one half of the dynamic duo that recorded and performed as Eurythmics, but she’s also made a number of wonderful solo albums, going back to 1992’s Diva.

This record, issued in the Blue Note Records 75th Anniversary series, has Lennox covering blues / jazz / soul standards, including “Mood Indigo,” “Summertime,” “Strange Fruit,” and “God Bless the Child.”

I know some people don’t go for the “rock stars doing standards” thing, but I’m a sucker for these, as I know and love the originals too, but appreciate the new spin.
