Blue
Note Records, the world's most respected and longest-running Jazz label, is
being commemorated for its 75th Anniversary throughout 2014 and beyond with a
broad range of special releases and events. Blue Note is pleased to announce a
new Blue Note Select collection entitled Sideman: Trane's Blue Note Sessions. A
collection of the legendary saxophonist's sideman sessions for Blue Note
Records from 1956-1957, when Coltrane was a regular member of the Miles Davis
Quintet and played with pianist Thelonious Monk. This set, conceived by former
Blue Note Records president Bruce Lundvall, marks the first time Coltrane's
sideman sessions for Blue Note have been collected in one place; albums include
recordings led by Paul Chambers (Chambers' Music, a.k.a. High Step, and Whims
of Chambers), Johnny Griffin (A Blowing Session) and Sonny Clark (Sonny's
Crib). The entire set will be in original Blue Note mono, with the mono version
of Clark's album on CD for the first time. The book-style package includes a
34-page booklet with an essay by author and educator Ashley Kahn, and other
elements as noted. ~ Amazon.com
WOLFGANG MUTHSPIEL / LARRY GRENADIER / BRIAN BLADE - DRIFTWOOD
Austrian
guitarist Wolfgang Muthspiel makes his ECM leader debut with Driftwood, a trio
album of subtlety and depth featuring renowned US jazz players Larry Grenadier
and Brian Blade. Muthspiel who recently made his first ECM appearance on Travel
Guide as a member of a cooperative trio with fellow guitarists Ralph Towner and
Slava Grigoryan has enjoyed long, productive musical friendships live and on
record with both Grenadier and Blade, leading to a sense of telepathic
interplay on Driftwood. The trio creates a ravishing sound, captured with
fidelity at Rainbow Studio in Oslo. Muthspiel has been praised by The Times of
London for his restless musical imagination. Lyrical, grooving, and atmospheric
by turns, the guitarist s compositions on Driftwood include tributes to his
heroes Joe Zawinul and Michael Brecker. ~ Amazon.com

jazzy groove, Mandela captures a rare acoustic performance, and One Happy Guy
delivers an unforgettable melody. This is the true musical lifestyle of
guitarist Matt Marshak. ~ Amazon.com
