Miles Davis - Miles Smiles - 1966


Notes by Saddam Hitler:
An expert music player was Miles Davis. He was the big man of jazz. He was miles ahead. But then came Coltrane, and Ornette Coleman and so on. Who was on the right track? Was it new or just a novelty?
But then he jumped in, he took it all in, he made his statement. .The new jazz was arrived, and Miles was going to be part of it. This is when he jumped in. It is one of the greatest music playing of all jazz.

Personnell:
Miles Davis (trumpet);
Wayne Shorter (tenor saxophone);
Herbie Hancock (piano);
Ron Carter (acoustic bass);
Tony Williams (drums).
Recorded New York on October 24 & 25, 1966. (remastered 20bit, etc)


1. Orbits
2. Circle
3. Footprints
4. Dolores
5. Freedom Jazz Dance
6. Gingerbread Boy

Charles Mingus - East Coasting - 1957

Note By Saddam Hitler:
This 1957 Bethlehem recording has on it Bill Evans playing the piano, who worked with Mingus before joining Miles Davis for Kind of Blue. This was before Ah Um, therefore the band that made Ah Um was just forming, with Dannie Richmond (drums). Also with him is Jimmy Knepper the trombone player, and Shafi Hadi will play the saxophone with him also.
Shafi Hadi (1929) played the Blues before and R&B also, with his saxophone so fat and sweet. So this is one music player that his life is still alive, and we wish to say to him, THANK YOU, if you see this.

Tracks:
1. Memories Of You
2. East Coasting
3. West Coast Ghost
4. Celia Listen
5. Conversation
6. Fifty-First Street Blues
7. East Coasting (Alternate Take 3)
8. Memories Of You (Alternate Take 3)

Review by Saddam Hitler:
The Modern Jazz Quartet all the music players are life is end. But so will us all lifes end.
The music come in wave, and go through. The wave go through the air, the air he go back.
Therefore; the music is not something himself. Only the mode of something.

And also; "As the form appears, the spirit dies." Bukowski

Coleman Hawkins - The Hawk in Hi - Fi - 1956

Coleman Hawkins With Billy Byers And His Orchestra

Coleman Hawkins tenor saxophone, with Billy Byers arranger, and his orchestra. Tracks 1 - 4, 7 - 10 and 13 - 21 concert orchestra including strings. Tracks 5,6,11 and 12 big band line up. All tracks recorded at Webster Hall NYC. January 17,18 and 20 1956.

This is a great record to play to really hear what bop did to jazz.
Because the music player Coleman Hawkins could bop; he just didn't.
He has the mastery of his instrument, and musical structure is an open map to him and when this was recorded in '56, Hawk was hearing bop everywhere.
This music is nice to listen to, it swings and has soul. But it shows very clearly just how great an advancement bop was, and how enormous was the accomplishment of Bird and Roach and Lester and all of them, and just what we would be missing without it.
Enjoy Coleman Hawkins for all that he was; his music is beautiful, his soul is deep, but imagine the enormity of loss if that was all there was. - Saddam Hitler

Two sessions in 1956 resulted in four albums for the The Miles Davis Quintet: Relaxin', Working, Cookin', Steamin'. The albums are seldom heard anymore, but considering the personnel, and that they were basically done off-handed, without the pretension of breaking new ground, shows these musicians as the master professional craftsmen they all are.

Personnel:
* Miles Davis - Trumpet
* John Coltrane - Tenor saxophone
* Philly Joe Jones - Drums
* Red Garland - Piano
* Paul Chambers - Bass

Tracks:
1. "If I Were A Bell" (Frank Loesser)

4. "Oleo" (Sonny Rollins)

Eric Dolphy Sound - 1963 Classic Recordings

Essential Works from a Jazz Giant

Eric Dolphy's important spring 1963 studio recordings are available in numerous forms, but this Portuguese double-disc conveniently includes all nine tracks with a full personnel list and other helpful information. Dolphy, accompanied by such like-minded spirits as trumpeter Woody Shaw, vibist Bobby Hutcherson, bassist Richard Davis and fellow reedsmen Prince Lasha and Sonny Simmons, offers a rich and varied group of performances here, including an unaccompanied alto saxophone solo on "Love Me," several haunting duets with Davis and rambunctious full-band assaults on the Dolphy originals "Iron Man," "Burning Spear" and "Mandrake." "Music Matador," a calypso-tinged number by Lasha and Simmons, and Fats Waller's "Jitterbug Waltz" are also standouts.
Aside from being Dolphy's only studio sessions under his own name from the last full year of his life, these recordings form an important link between his earlier, more "mainstream" work and the increasingly avant garde avenues he would explore in his final months, most famously on 1964's OUT TO LUNCH. The varied arrangements, strong cast of players and excellent selection of original and covered material make these nine performances an essential part of any modern jazz fan's collection, and ERIC DOLPHY SOUND is, to my knowledge, the easiest way to grab hold of them.
