Everyone got ya ears on and all that jazz
Trumpeter Donald Byrd's (1967) last "Hard Bop" recording before transitioning towards modal music & avant-garde
A fine recording with further remastering by Rudy Van Gelder who has said the remaster process was always much easier for him when it was he himself who did the original process.
Nearly all the early jazz players, by word of mouth, wanted to be working with Rudy, having heard each others recorded results being truer to the in room experience and how Rudy valued both the artist and their creations.
1963/2012 remaster is soo very sublime
(1964 VERVE)
COLEMAN (THE HAWK) HAWKINS' ONE AND ONLY BOSSA NOVA ALBUM !
(1962/2023 IMPULSE)
Hawkins was always a modern musician and had ears for anything new. He is widely regarded as the “father” of the tenor saxophone in jazz. Although there were already competent saxophonists prior to Hawk, he was the first jazz saxophonist to achieve greatness.
Desafinado was a Bob Thiele-produced album Hawkins did for Impulse.
Producer Bob Thiele and music director Albam were strong in their resolve directing Hawkins to do this project, and the results are fairly predictable, especially considering that every single track is played in mid-tempo.
The difference is the deployment of two guitarists in Barry Galbraith (lead) and Howard Collins (rhythm) split into separate stereo channels, with bassist Major Holley and no full kit drummer, although Eddie Locke with a minimal and stripped-down setup, Willie Rodriguez, and even Tommy Flanagan play small Latin percussion instruments. The simplified style of this album overall perfectly suited the amiable, good-natured, and laid-back Hawkins at a time when the world was somewhat in political turmoil regarding Caribbean nations and the role of South America in the emerging so-called Third World.
Coleman Hawkins would continue playing and recording until his very last days.
He died on May 19, 1969, at the age of 64.
Gene Ammons - Boss Tenor
(1960/1986 Prestige) Rudy V.G, said: Being in the studio for the original recording he believes this remaster better captures that live take as he remembers. With the advancements in the technology vs the tools used at the time, substantial corrections and improvements in the audiophile quality product can now be heard and appreciated here on our higher end gears .
Imagine - Disbelief is easily suspended with eyes closed, you are there ~
1958 - Oh so very nice

Don't take away the music
It's the only thing I've got
It's my piece of the rock
