In His Good Time

Chris McGregor

Ogun is extremely proud to present, for the first time on CD, this solo outing by the renowned South African band leaderand composer Chris McGregor, recorded live in his adopted homeland of France in 1977.

Best known as a member of the Blue Notes and leader of the international big band the Brotherhood of Breath,McGregor rarely recorded solo; his two recitals for the French Musica label have long since disappeared, and “In HisGood Time” has been unavailable for many years. This long-awaited reissue comes directly from the original uneditedanalogue tapes and boasts a wealth of bonus material, restoring in its entirety the first set of the evening, a continuousperformance of original works and arrangements of traditional South African folksongs. Five tracks edited from thesecond set complete the collection.

Wonderful! Wonderful!

Joey DeFrancesco

Joey DeFrancesco has come a long way from All of Me, his recording debut as a leader made in 1989 as a fresh-faced17-year-old. From the get-go, the Philadelphia native established his credentials with virtuoso technique and an innatesoulfulness that he brought to bear on the Hammond B-3 organ.

Throughout his early career, Joey was widely recognized as spearheading a renewed interested in the Hammond organ,and building a bridge from the instrument's golden period of the 1960s and early 70s to the modern vocabulary andusage that it enjoys today. With jazz guitar great Larry Coryell and legendary drummer Jimmy Cobb, Joey imbues thevenerable genre with new life, vigor and a modern sensibility which is at once of the moment and, at the same time,respectful of its roots and soulful history.

Woody Plays Woody

Woody Shaw

Woody Shaw is widely revered across the globe as the last major innovator to significantly revolutionize modern jazztrumpet playing. Shaw's innovations vastly extended the harmonic and technical vocabulary of the instrument and hisachievements, both as a stylist and as a master craftsman, remain largely unparalleled in the world of music. WoodyShaw is also remembered as one of the great, modern jazz composers to have developed a distinct musical sound andidentity through his original compositions. His work is currently studied all over the world and his instrumentalbreakthroughs are venerated by musicians of all levels, ages, styles, and nationalities.

Shaw's eclectic range of musical and cultural interests served to shape an artistic sensibility that was both distinct anduniquely personal. Throughout his musical career, Shaw traveled to such regions as India, Persia, Egypt, Japan, and allover Western and Eastern Europe. His encounters with the varied cultures of the world influenced his approach to musicas well his outlook on life. Here is a collection of Woody Shaw performing a suite of his own compositions together withsome of his favored sidemen, giving ample proof that when the future jazz history books are written, Woody Shaw will beremembered as a performing-composer of the highest level of excellence.

The Queen of the PartyThe Uptown Blues of Irene ReidIrene Reid

From her days singing with the Count Basie band as a replacement for Joe Williams, to her Indian summer of renewedpopularity, Irene Reid always lived up to her moniker, The Queen of Uptown Blues. Like Dinah Washington and EstherPhillips, Irene had a church background and never lost that divine intensity or power to convey the emotions in a lyric. Moving to New York from her native Savannah in 1947, Irene tried out for the Apollo Theater's Amateur Contest andended up winning it five consecutive times. With Basie in the early '60s, Irene toured Sweden, Switzerland, France andAustralia and recorded some albums with her own group, Irene Reid and Company. She went on to record two big-bandalbums for Verve but her most visible appearance in those post-Basie years was in the cast of the Broadway show, “TheWiz,” as the wicked witch Evillene, the role originated by Mabel King.

In 1997, after two decades spent largely under the show-business radar, Irene re-emerged on Savant records at therecommendation of B-3 organist Charles “The Mighty Burner” Earland. She recorded a number of albums for Savantbefore her passing in 2008, with each release winning her a legion of new fans. Here is a program featuring Irene, theMighty Burner, Eric Alexander and the rest of the crew doing what Irene did best the Uptown Blues. With her all-starBand, Irene's wit, sassy delivery and love of life is evident in every track.

Owls Talk

Alexandra Grimal / Lee Konitz / Gary Peacock / Paul Motian

A superb encounter for the young French saxophonist, leading this date with three venerable masters of the genre. Thealbum was recorded in New York in 2009 and originally released in France on Marge but now sees a proper internationalrelease. Grimal, playing more accessibly (though hardly mainstream) than on her other recordings, composed orco-composed nine of the 15 tracks and the excellent sound provides a rewarding listening experience.

"An incredible encounter. A moment suspended in time. I don't have the words to describe what happened on those colddays in December 2009. Singular emotions, beyond anything language can express. A waking dream… or theawakening of a dream?"Alexandra Grimal

Dell Westergaard Lillinger feat. John Tchicai

John Tchicai

John Tchicai, the Afro-Danish saxophonist who was born in 1936, is one of the few remaing active players whose rootslie in the New Wave of Jazz in the sixties. He formed the New York Art Quartet, and later the New York ContemporaryFive with Archie Shepp and Don Cherry, and recorded with Coltrane, Ayler and many more.

Tchicai met vibes player Christopher Dell in Berlin in 2010, as part of a memorial concert to Johnny Dyani with whom hehad played in the Brotherhood of Breath. Three tracks (30 mins) of the material presented on this album is from that duoconcert. The other nine tracks (42 mins) were recorded three days later in a Berlin studio with a young rhythm section.The inter-generational project works supremely well, with genuine empathy between the musicians who emerge as acollective rather than Old Master and backing band. Tchicai's playing is restrained and lyrical, the mood one of serenityand probing thoughtfulness.

Day and Night

Gerd Dudek

Gerd Dudek came to London early in 2012 to give a concert at the Vortex. The next day the quartet went to CurtisSchwartz’s studio deep in the English countryside to record. Gerd and Hans Koller between them chose a programme ofsome of their favourite jazz tunes.

Dudek is a German saxophonist who played in the early line-up of the Globe Unity Orchestra, and later with Alex VonSchlippenbach, Manfred Schoof, Albert Mangelsdorff and many others. His origins are in free jazz but his playing hasadopted a somewhat gentler tone in recent years. Although recordings have been infrequent Dudek remains one ofGermany's best jazz musicians.

ALL MUSIC GUIDE (Printed edition, 2002): Jazz at Storyville“This excellent album gives one a definitive look at altoist Lee Konitz at a period of time when he was breaking away frombeing a sideman and a student of Lennie Tristano, and asserting himself as a leader. With pianist Ronnie Ball, bassistPercy Heath and drummer Alan Levitt, Konitz explores a variety of his favorite chord changes, some of which weredisguised by newer melodies such as ‘Hi Beck’, ‘Subconscious Lee’ and ‘Sound Lee’. Among the other highpoints of thiswell-recorded set are ‘Foolin’ Myself’ and a lengthy exploration of ‘If I Had You’.” (Scott Yanow)

Porgy & Bess+ 2 bonus tracksElla Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong

THE COMPLETE CLASSIC VERSION OF GERSHWIN’S PORGY & BESS BY ELLA AND LOUIS, ONE OF THE TRUEGEMS OF JAZZ HISTORY. AS A BONUS, TWO RARELY HEARD DUETS RECORDED LIVE AT THE HOLLYWOODBOWL IN 1956. INCLUDES 16-PAGE BOOKLET.

George Gershwin composed Porgy & Bess ten years after his success with Rhapsody in Blue. By this time he wasalready a major figure in American music. Originally conceived by Gershwin as an "American folk opera," Porgy & Besspremiered in New York in the fall of 1935 and featured an entire cast of classically trained African-American singers. Italso received ample play by jazz artists, who made countless versions (both vocal and instrumental) of numerousselections from the opera (including those by the Modern JazzQuartet, Miles Davis with the Gil Evans Orchestra, and the Oscar Peterson trio; “I Loves You Porgy” became one of BillieHoliday’s greatest hits). The most celebrated jazz version of Porgy & Bess, however, is the 1957 recordings by LouisArmstrong and Ella Fitzgerald reissued here, which contain the most famous version ever recorded of the perennial“Summertime”. Although both Ella and Louis continued their respective careers with great success after 1957, Porgy &Bess would be their last recorded collaboration ever.

Africa / Brass LP+ 1 bonus trackJohn Coltrane Quartet

This was Trane’s first album with a big band. The unique instrumentation included four French Horns, tuba, twoeuphoniums, two trumpets, three reed players, and a rhythm section including two bassists. The tight arrangements wereprimarily penned by Trane and McCoy Tyner, and orchestrated by Eric Dolphy. It must be admitted, however, that eventhough Down Beat published an unenthusiastic review, the original liner notes for Africa/Brass were written by anotherDown Beat collaborator, Don Cerulli, who praised the work.

Africa/Brass marks the first collaboration between Coltrane and Eric Dolphy, who on this album played reeds (but didn’tsolo), wrote all of the orchestrations and conducted the ensemble. The sessions took place on May 23 and June 7 of1961. Sandwiched between both sessions, Trane and Dolphy recorded the septet album Olé (on May 25, 1961), againwith two bassists (Reggie Workman and Art Davis), and also adding Freddie Hubbard on trumpet to McCoy Tyner andElvin Jones.

The formation heard here marks the third incarnation of Art Blakey (1919-1990) and the Jazz Messengers, with trumpeterLee Morgan, tenor saxophonist Wayne Shorter, pianist Bobby Timmons and bassist Jymie Merritt, plus the addition oftrombonist Curtis Fuller. (The first stable formation, in 1954, consisted of Donald Byrd, Hank Mobley, Horace Silver andDoug Watkins, while the second one, in 1957, included Bill Hardman, Johnny Griffin – or Jackie McLean – Sam Dockeryand Spanky Debrest.) Benny Golson was the tenor saxophonist for a short while in 1958-59, and also acted as thegroup’s musical director. He wrote several jazz standards which began as part of the band book, such as “I RememberClifford”, “Blues March”, “Along Came Betty” and “Are You Real?”. Many of these songs would be revived by latereditions of the group.

Very Tall LP+ 1 bonus trackOscar Peterson Trio with Milt Jackson


Very Tall marked the first recorded collaboration between Oscar Peterson and Milt Jackson. The two musicians wereboth highly regarded and successful jazz figures by 1961. Peterson had recorded innumerable albums with his own trioand backing such stars as Louis Armstrong, Lester Young, Ben Webster and Billie Holiday, to name just a few. Jacksonhad played with most of the great names in modern jazz and had been a founder of the Modern Jazz Quartet.

Very Tall features Jackson as an added member of the legendary Peterson Trio with Ray Brown and Ed Thigpen. AfterVery Tall, Peterson and Jackson wouldn’t record together again for ten years. They rejoined forces in Villingen, Germanyin July 1971, where they made another quartet album, titled Reunion Blues. The album featured the rhythm section of theOscar Peterson Trio of that period, which included Ray Brown again on bass, and Louis Hayes on drums. The pianistand vibraphonist would continue to play together, mostly in live settings, and various albums appeared taken from suchperformances.

Tanguísimo

Astor Piazzolla

8 CD box set with bonus 9th CD.

Originally conceived as a Complete Works of the the Argentinian maestro, this set through force of circumstance becamean anthology deprived of the 'Complete' tag. The booklet reflects on the inaccessibility of various works, but rather thandwell on what is missing, the set focuses the attention on the period 1945-1961 and includes a whopping 213 tracks,presented in chronological order. The Bonus CD features the American recording sessions of 1958-59 wherein Piazzollaorchestrated and arranged works far removed from his beloved tango.

From the sleevenotes: A prolific period, during which Astor Piazzolla carved out his own musical aesthetic, as personal as it is universal, andraised Tango to the ranks of classical music without causing it to lose any of its force, its character, its originality or itsroots. The clear break he brought about by shaking up the musical codes of Tango felt like sacrilege to the oldergeneration, but like a much-needed revolution to those who dreamed of modernity. The second real icon in the history ofArgentinian music alongside Carlos Gardel, Astor Piazzolla, like his illustrious forefather, left his imprint on this style ofmusic in spite of its rules, which were anchored in a set of seemingly immutable traditions.

"Astor Piazzolla turned Tango into more than just the music of one nation and one people; he made it into a universal arton a par with the works of Johann Sebastian Bach and Claude Debussy. Like Orpheus descending into the underworld toseek Eurydice, Piazzolla tracked Tango down to the hidden places where the Guardia Vieja were keeping it a jealouslyguarded secret, and brought it up into the daylight so he could share it with the world…. Except that he never turnedaround, so his Eurydice is still alive and well!" Juan Esteban Alvarez de Molina

Corazon De Piel Afuera - Godino

Cuarteto Cedron

The Paris-based Argentinian tangeros release an album of two halves, or two new albums on one disc: "Corazon..." and"Godino"

"In this album – the part devoted to Miguel Angel Bustos – you will come across some poems where the blend oftenderness, innocence, the unfathomable beauty of a small child, the never-ending sadness of an orphan, cold solitudeand at the same time, intense love, warm and soft like the sun will leave you breathless. The embalmed young lady ('LaSeñorita Muerta') who manages to become a pure beauty and seduces whoever turns up; a lullaby for a serial killer whoin turn is also killed himself ('Canción de cuna para Godino') ; the many facets of the utopian city of San Jamás; thewounds, moments of sweetness and illusions of love – is this reality or fiction? The incredible portraits of the prodigiousflautist ('Ah la Flauta') and the poet of multiple faces ('el Irlandés'), all generous or coarse, to avoid over-simplification, areligion not professed within the Cuarteto. What year does the action take place in when Juan Cedrón sings a huella('Colombianas del Ecuador') that sounds like it did a hundred years ago? The only thing we have that has no limits is ourimagination.

And other stories: the ones from memory and the soliloquies, inevitably every bit as creative! All these stories becomingone with the voice inventing them or recounting them from memory. Juan Cedrón's ample, swelling tone is that of theCuarteto too, a voice that is both melody and stage for a one-act show, impossible to repeat, yet multiple, where theactor makes us believe he's a real man…or a man who's laughing or suffering his own song and he has us believe he'snothing but a simple actor, whereas the only real thing is his voice, authentic in its pure illusion and the way it feels at thehypnotic moment of the tale."Guillermo Pintos

Diaspora in Buenos Aires

The Linetzky Family

Andrés Linetzky’s grandfather José was born in 1916 in Belz, in the heart of Europe. At the time, 6,000 people still livedthere, 3,600 of them Jews. Jewish culture is at home in the town. The Linetzkys live in the ‘Street of musicians’. They are‘Klezmers’, as musicians who play ‘yiddish’ music are referred to, and they own a bookshop. In 1929 – José is eightyears old – the Linetzkys emigrate to Buenos Aires, escaping extermination. Among the few things they carry in theirluggage, there is José’s mother’s mandolin. Almost a hundred years later, her instrument can be heard on this album.The young Linetzky generation plays ‘Beltz mas Sher’, a tribute to Belz. In their new South American environment, theLinetzkys meet regularly to play music at home. Klezmer is played, cultivated and transmitted from the great-grandfatherto the grandfather, from the grandfather to the father, the son and the grandson. Diaspora in Buenos Aires. The traditionlives on!

Soul of the Ultimate NationCollector's Edition Vol.2Howard Shore

Howard Shore began writing the score for the massive multiplayer online role-paying game, Soul of the Ultimate Nation(SUN) in the summer of 2004. In November of that year, Shore was in Moscow conducting The Lord of the RingsSymphony at the Kremlin with the National Philharmonic of Russia and Victor Popov’s Academy of Choral Arts. Followingthe Moscow concerts he traveled with the orchestra and chorus for another three concerts in Tokyo.

“I was still composing the music for SUN at this time and while in Japan I decided I wanted to write the piece specificallyfor this orchestra and chorus,” said Shore. “I wanted the chorus to sing in ancient Korean as a way to express the worldof SUN. It seemed like the perfect opportunity to bring together the western and eastern concepts at play. The pieceswere composed as tone poems to express the different characters, cultures and the world of this wonderfully detailedgame.”

The game SUN has gradually made its way around the world although the music has only been released in parts of Asia.Now for the first time, as the second Collector’s Edition series of the Composer’s work, Howard Shore’s original score forSUN is available to a worldwide audience.
