Patti Austin – Intimate Patti Austin

Here Patti caresses twelve timeless melodies with great sensitivity and emotional depth, taking the listener on a warmly romantic journey. Intimate Patti Austin presents the "best of the best" ballad interpretations from her wonderful version of the classic Stylistics hit “Stop, Look, Listen” to the first recording of the now standard Ivan Lins/Alan & Marilyn Bergman gem “The Island.” Also featured a superb version of Patti’s own “In My Life” and a swooning take on “Cry Me A River” from her wonderful collection of standards, The Real Me.

The Ultimate Jaco Pastorius

Renowned as the most important electric bassist in the history of jazz, Jaco Pastorius was a revolutionary figure in modern music. Ultimate Jaco Pastorius traces the highlights of his career, beginning with Charlie Parker's "Donna Lee" from his self-titled debut recording on Epic, contributions to Weather Report like "Barbary Coast" and "Teen Town", his tantalizing bass playing and brilliant arrangement on Joni Mitchell’s "The Dry Cleaner from Des Moines", his classic compsitions "3 Views of a Secret" and "Liberty City" and more.

David Sanborn - Heart To Heart

With the 1978 release of Heart to Heart, alto saxophonist David Sanborn's distinctive sound and unique perspective was represented properly on record. This most ambitious recording covers many bases, with melodic pop ("Solo"), funky jazz ("Heba") and soulful gospel ("Sunrise Gospel"), with a standard thrown in ("Anywhere I Wander"). Of particular note are David's gorgeous interpretation of the Don Grolnick ballad "Lotus Blossom" and "Short Visit", which was arranged by jazz great Gil Evans. Heart to Heart is a fully-realized artistic statement by a modern jazz master.

Ruby Braff - HiFi Salute To Bunny Regularly $15.00, now $10.00

1957 marked the 15th anniversary of the death of the remarkable trumpeter and bandleader Bunny Berigan. To pay homage to Bunny, RCA Victor (Berigan's label for most of his recorded output) decided to bring Ruby Braff and seven mainstream veterans and newcomers to the studio and perform nine tunes associated with Berigan including I Can't Get Started, Marie and Downhearted Blues.. He is joined by Pee Wee Russell, Dick Hafer, Benny Morton, Nat Pierce, Steve Jordan, Walter Page (one of his last recordings) and Buzzy Drootin. The band swings from first note to last and stretches out soulfully on each tune (six of which are over six minutes). Did I Remember?, a bonus track originally issued only on a compilation, completes the sessions.

Slide Hampton - Drum Suite Regularly $15.00, now $10.00

After two high-profile years (1957-59) with Maynard Ferguson as trombonist and key arranger/composer. Slide Hampton struck off on his own as the leader of his own ingeniously conceived octet. While the octet never got off the ground commercially, it was a major creative force in New York for three years, recording for Atlantic among other labels. In April 1962, Slide was given the opportunity to record one album for Columbia's Epic label. The result was Drum Suite, on which Slide brought in guest artists Freddie Hubbard, Yusef Lateef, Tommy Flanagan and Max Roach. Lost in the shuffle of major label business, this album offered some of Slide's best writing, much of which was specifically written for Lateef and Roach. We have resurrected this crown jewel in Hampton's woefully neglected octet discography and remixed it adding two additional tunes.

Thelonious Monk – Live In France 1969 – Regularly $24.98, now $14.98

Just Monk, a grand piano and two cameras - no audience, no sidemen, no emcee, no clock-watching stage manager, no set list, no distractions. The result was an astonishingly intimate and revealing portrait of a man and his music. Monk sits at the piano and plays whatever occurs to him. In this case, it was nine originals and two of his favorite standards.

Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers – Live In France 1959 – Regularly $19.98, now $9.98

In the fall of 1959, the group was in a fascinating transitionwith newcomer Wayne Shorter whose sound and conception would forever change the sonic landscape of the Jazz Messengers. Walter Davis, Jr. filled in for Timmons's several months with Adderley. Walter was a two-fisted pianist out of the Bud Powell school and he had as much drive on his instrument as Blakey had on his drums.

They have a Ben Webster CD coming out that looks interesting.

I've been watching for this one it now finally shows as available for pre-order on their site, release date a week away:

http://www.dottimerecords.com/product/ben-webster-valentines-day-1964-live/

plus $5.50 flat rate shipping worldwide, this looks to be a better source than Amazon, which has never updated the listing page for this release and has a nonsensical photo up for the item:

https://www.amazon.com/Valentines-Day-1964-Live-Webster/dp/B073CSCNGT

With that flat rate shipping I threw in the Joe Bushkin/Buck Clayton release discussed here:

Looking forward to these two for sure.

The Amazon listing for the Fitzgerald chautauqua sets has a comment complaining that that it's an illegal recording--not cleared through the Estate. That surprised me as I thought Dot Time was a legit label?? (There are also complaints about sound quality.)
