Alto and tenor saxophonist David "Fathead" Newman was best known as sideman and soloist with Ray Charles. During the fifties, when Ray Charles was touring with his hits like "What'd I Say", "Talking About You", etc., he thought that his band, and his tenor man, David Newman, were so strong that they needed to record a straight ahead jazz album of their own. That album became "Ray Charles Presents David Newman". On that album there's also Hank Crawford playing on baritone sax, and trumpeter Marcus Belgrave, bassist Edgar Willis, drummer William Peeples and of course Ray Charles on piano, playing very strong solos. Is Ray Charles a great bebop player? Of course he is!

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.

Waltz for Debby is the fourth and final album by the Bill Evans Trio, a unit that redefined the notion of the piano trio. Recorded (like its companion volume Sunday at the Village Vanguard) just days before the accident that took bassist Scott LaFaro's life, it summarizes the level of creative interaction that made the famous trio a harbinger of jazz possibilities in the coming decades. Evans, LaFaro, and Paul Motian play with astounding freedom in these performances, maintaining all the while a keen balance and a pervasive sense of beauty. The flow of tempos and moods underscores the depth of the trio's concept, casting a spell that remains undimmed over half a century later. Vinyl Passion presents a double shot of the extremely influential Bill Evans Trio's career milestones Sunday At The Village Vanguard and Waltz For Debby in one 2LP, 180g, package!

Awaited solo album, stunning instrumental album by Martin Gore, songwriter and founding member of Depeche Mode, an evocative 16-track electronic instrumental album. Described by The Independent as “…perfect for sci-fi fantasies and… gritty urban narratives”, the 16-track album, comprising of textural, emotional and filmic instrumentals, is out now on CD, vinyl and download. From the Angelo Badalmenti – like atmosphere of ‘Elk’ to the industrial electro swagger of ‘Brink’, it landscapes a unique and arresting vision. Written and produced by Martin Gore, work began on ‘MG’ following the final dates of Depeche Mode’s ‘Delta Machine’ tour in March 2013 at Gore’s home studio in Santa Barbara. An entire instrumental album had been in his thoughts for some time, particularly since he has been writing instrumentals for Depeche Mode since 1981.
