Exlusive Limited Edition Of 500copies, 180 Gram Vinyl — Audiophile Pressing, Includes 2 Bonus Tracks This essential release presents the blues masterwork "Slim’s Shout" (released on Prestige/Bluesville in 1961). The album was recorded by Rudy Van Gelder in his studio at Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, and features Slim as a leader, accompanied by Curtis and other jazz session players from the New York City scene, such as organist Robert Banks, bassist Leonard Gaskin, and drummer Belton Evans. Here Sunnyland Slim runs through a bunch of his own standards in pristine stereo sound. Highlights include “The Devil Is a Busy Man,” “Shake It,” and “It’s You Baby,” as well as the remake of “Sunnyland Special” – one of Slim’s most celebrated tunes. Even though the original liner notes to "Slim’s Shout" state that it was his debut album, he had actually previously recorded an LP titled "Chicago Blues Session" for the small local label 77 Records. The 2 bonus tracks contained on this collector’s LP vinyl limited edition, “Everytime I Get to Drinkin’” and an earlier reading of “Brownskin Woman,” belong to Chicago Blues Session.

Limited Edition 500 copies, Reissue, 180 Gram, 4 stars all music guide. From its earliest recordings at Paris’ Salle Playel in June of 1954 (with Red Mitchell on bass, and Frank Isola on drums), Gerry Mulligan’s (April 6, 1927-January 20, 1996) outstanding piano-less quartet with valve-trombone virtuoso Bob Brookmeyer (December 19, 1929-December 15, 2011) was performing some of the most intelligent and tasteful material of any small band in jazz.

Limited Edition of 500 copies, Reissue, 180 gram, includes 2 bonus tracks. The singer’s first major LP release, Songs from the Heart, was recorded in New York in October, 1955 and featured Hartman backed by trumpeter Howard McGhee, pianist Ralph Sharon, bassist Jay Cave and drummer Christy Febbo. The album, presented here, included a unique blend of classics from the jazz and pop idiom. As is often the case with albums of rare brilliance, it is difficult to pick out any particular highlights. Cole Porter’s “Down in the Depths (of the 90th Floor)” certainly receives the most unusual treatment, with the rhythm section seamlessly switching between a Latin groove and a steady swing feel.
