  2. Bill Evans - Interplay

    Jim Hall is featured so much on this great album that I'm surprised he's not considered the leader.

    Anyway, great new mastering on OJC/Craft of this 1962 classic with Evans (piano), Hall (guitar), Freddie Hubbard (trumpet), Percy Heath (bass), and Philly Joe Jones (drums).

    Essential music, mastering, pressing, and if you've only got an old copy, worth the upgrade.

  3. Thad Jones - The Magnificent Thad Jones

    Jones' Blue Note follow-up after Detroit - New York Junction ( mas.to/@dnanian/11080482305941 ), this release part of the Classic Vinyl Series.

    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).

  4. Charlie Parker, The Mercury & Clef 10-inch LP Collection

    This 2021 box collects / reproduces the 10″ LPs put out in the early 1950s:

    • Charlie Parker With Strings (1950)
    • Charlie Parker With Strings #2 (1954)
    • Bird and Diz (1952)
    • Charlie Parker Plays South of the Border (1952)
    • Charlie Parker (1954)

    I don’t normally collect 10″ records, but got a good deal on this box, which is very well made, reproducing original covers and labels, and with an included book. Neither of the two “Charlie Parker With Strings” LPs actually has the #2 on it which can get confusing – the one with the two birds on it is the second. Most of these reproduce their Mercury labels except for the one just titled Charlie Parker which was only on Clef.

    Artwork on all these covers by David Stone Martin. Players with Charlie Parker include Bernie Leighton, Buddy Rich, Ray Brown, Mitch Miller, Max Roach, Al Haig, Percy Heath, Thelonius Monk, Curly Russell, and Dizzy Gillespie (among others). Norman Granz wrote most (all?) the sleeve notes and supervised the recordings.

    Still available in the Verve Store (and elsewhere I’m sure) it is well worth picking up.

  8. Milt Jackson, Ballads & Blues, 1956 on Atlantic

    Jackson’s most well know as the vibraphonist in the Modern Jazz Quartet but he also collaborated and recorded with many other bop musicians. Here he is joined by Lucky Thomson (sax), John Lewis (piano), Skeeter Best (guitar), Oscar Pettiford (bass), Kenny Clarke (drums), Barney Kessel (guitar), Percy Heath (bass), Lawrence Marable (drums), and Barry Gailbraith (guitar). (Lewis and Clarke had […]

  9. Miles Davis and Milt Jackson - Quintet / Sextet

    Or should I say Miles Da Vis? (Sheesh, that some kerning.)

    Hard to believe this came out *four weeks* after Blue Moods back in the mid-50s. Anyway, it’s a nice gathering of top players, including Jackie McLean (whom Davis had critical words about his drug use, but he seems to be in fine form).

  10. The Modern Jazz Quartet - Concert in Japan ‘66

    This is a rare album, only issued in Japan, and only in mono (as it was recorded), 10 years after it was recorded. (Four tracks appear in the MJQ: 40 Years CD box set.)

    It's *well* worth hunting down. Here's some info/background:

    jazzhistoryonline.com/mjq-conc

    Fantastic performances all around (as you'd expect from MJQ), six weeks before Blues at Carnegie Hall.

  11. Cannonball Adderly (with Bill Evans) - Know What I Mean?

    We do, Mr. Adderly...we do.

    An MJQ/Evans Trio crossover event with Evans on piano (of course), Cannonball as leader on sax (of course) and…Connie Kay on drums with Percy Heath on bass.

    Yes, this is as great as that sounds.

    Recent OJC release, remastered, flat, silent...good stuff.

  12. The Heath Brothers - Paris 76

    Percy Heath from the Modern Jazz Quartet formed this group after the MJQ played it's "last concert" a few years earlier. (Of course, the MJQ got back together.)

    Anyway - this was recently released on SAM records in a limited edition of 3000 and it’s...great.

    Fremer does a better job than I could (with a lot more space) discussing: trackingangle.com/music/the-he
