This was the last album the Masters before splitting in 1972. Although duly ignored at the time, is seen today as a work very well designed and popular.
In Germany, France, Holland and Britain, is considered a great album of progressive rock and sought after as collector's item.
In early 72 the band released "A Toast to Panama Red," who died without leaving a trace.
It is now acclaimed as one of the most creative and innovative albums in Australia.
The diversity of styles, instruments, choirs and unusual vocals make this album is still pleasantly accepted in Europe (Where are releasing bootleg copies of it).

Art BLAKEY & Jazz Messengers - Buttercorn Lady 1966

Not only is this a great album...its one of the top classic jazz album ever.  To me, the only thing that comes close is the Modern Jazz Quartet.  Milt Jackson and his insane-ism .  But wow this is one of the best albums of the classic jazz period.  The late 70's were the best for this type of music and allowed for alot of expression.  All of which is lost in the currrent generation. 


Whatever, download this album becuse its pure genious.

Jean-Luc Ponty - Cosmic Messenger

The latter part of the 1970s was an incredible time for fusion, as record compnay support allowed the top artists the time (and promotion) to make artistic statements that were also commercially viable.


Jean-Luc Ponty had been building a solid foundation for cross-over appeal to his work and this 1978 album arguably is his shining moment in the spotlight. The album is the total package; from the intriguing artwork on the cover to the hot rock/jazz on each composition.
Tracks:
1. Cosmic Messenger (4:38)
2. Art of Happiness (4:33)
3. Don't Let the World Pass You By (6:23)

Sweet Smoke - Just A Poke (1970)

These guys produce some stunning music, an amalgam of rock, jazz, songer-songwriter stuff, and, yes, lyric

& a visual style that with some reason can be called dated.

Why didn't this band become famous?
The musical ingenuity is outstanding. Lead singer and guitarist Marvin Kaminowitz displays a rare combination of spectacular vocals and masterful guitar playing that most "pop" bands never attain. Anyone who appreciates quality original music will love this CD.

Andrew Dershin / bass

Wayne Shorter-Schizophrenia

Wayne Shorter was at the peak of his creative powers when he recorded Schizophrenia in the spring of 1967.  Shorter found a band that was capable of conveying his musical "schizophrenia," which means that this is a band that can play straight up jazz just as well as they can stretch the limits of jazz. At their best, they do this simultaneously, as they do on the opening track "Tom Thumb." The beat and theme of the song are straightforward, but the musical interplay and solos take chances that result in unpredictable music. And "unpredictable" is the operative phrase for this set of edgy post-bop tunes. Shorter's compositions have strong themes, but they lead into uncharted territory, constantly challenging the musicians and the listener. Schizophrenia crackles with the excitement of Shorter and his colleagues trying to balance the two extremes. Tracks: 1. Tom Thumb

2. Go

3. Schizophrenia

4. Kryptonite

5. Miyako

6. Playground

Personel:
Wayne Shorter - Saxophone, (Tenor)
James Spaulding - Flute, Sax (Alto), Sax (Soprano)
Curtis Fuller - Trombone
Herbie Hancock - Piano
Ron Carter - Bass
Joe Chambers - Drums

Gary Burton - Dream So Real

Gary Burton-Vibes
Steve Swallow-Bass
Bob Moses-Drums
Mick Goodrich-Guitar
Pat Metheny-Guitar

This is a classic album.  It features the compositions of Carla Bley - Burton was one of the musicians who early on both recognized her talents and wanted to do her music justice.  It is a classic. High energy, fluid through the complex changes.

It is good fun to hear Metheny, sinking his considerable teeth into early solos, and ably playing a supporting role. But the real treat is the ensemble as a whole, a true collaboration of virtuosos, melding their talents to present the works of Carla Bley with the energy and sparkle they deserve.

Tracks:

1. Dream So Real

2. Ictus/Syndrome

3. Jesus Maria

4. Vox Humana

5. Doctor

6. Intermission Music

Jimmy Smith-Midnight Special (1960)

Another fine organ lead band from Jimmy Smith.  Legend has it that he locked himself in a room for months after buying his first Hammond B and just learned stnadards everyday.  Thats how he came to be. Midnight Special was culled from the same recording session that produced Back to the Chicken Shack. If you're familiar with that session you may as well just download this now because this disc is comparably smoking. This recording is great and with a super line-up:


Organist -Jimmy Smith
Tenor saxophonist -Stanley Turrentine
Guitarist -Kenny Burrell
Drrummer-Donald Bailey

Tracks:
 1. Midnight Special
 2. Subtle One
 3. Jumpin' the Blues 
 4. Why Was I Born?
 5. One O'Clock Jump
