Sorcery [Jazz Dispensary Top Shelf] [LP]
-
LP
$28.99
Reader Reward Price: $26.09
Sorcery finds DeJohnette teamed up with a tight crew of virtuosic bandmates, including veterans like Dave Holland and Bennie Maupin. Discursive, meditative, trippy but grounded in tasty grooves, Sorcery is laced with flurries of Hendrix-on-jazz-steroids guitar tones and the ahead-of-its-time electronic processing of DeJohnette. This 180-gram reissue of the album was cut from the original analog tapes by Kevin Gray and pressed at RTI, and comes packaged in a tip-on jacket.

Speak Like A Child Lp

Following the release of his 1965 masterpiece Maiden Voyage, the brilliant pianist Herbie Hancock wouldn't record his Blue Note follow-up until 1968 with the innovative classic Speak Like a Child. The album was a showcase of several aspects of Hancock's artistry: as a pianist, a composer, and an arranger. The session found Hancock expanding his tonal palette by adding the unique coloring of flugelhorn (Thad Jones), bass trombone (Peter Phillips), and alto flute (Jerry Dodgion) to his trio with bassist Ron Carter and drummer Mickey Roker. However, the leader's piano would be spotlighted as the main solo instrument throughout this six-song set including Hancock originals like the alluring title track, the churning "Riot," the plaintive "Goodbye to Childhood," and the mysterious closer "The Sorcerer," a dedication to Miles Davis which had been recorded by the trumpeter's quintet the year prior. On Carter's spry and cheerful "First Trip" the trio goes it alone delivering a wonderfully agile and swinging performance for the ages. This gatefold Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is stereo, all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.

The Spiritual, a free jazz album recorded by The Art Ensemble of Chicago in 1974, finds the group of stellar musicians at their creative peak. With various types of percussion, though the absence of a traditional drummer, the ensemble is able to create vivid, freeing compositions without the confines of conventional structure. The quartet, consisting of Joseph Jarman, Roscoe Mitchell, Lester Bowie, and Malachi Favors, explore the depths of Avant-Garde Jazz through a means that has yet to be touched on in a comparable capacity. Previously released on red color vinyl exclusively for Record Store Day, The Spiritual will now be widely available on coke bottle clear color vinyl.
