I just got an email from Hiroshi Tanno of Early Records with information about some upcoming Japanese CD releases. I will update the first post in this thread when new releases are announced as to have all releases of 2008 in one single post. I'll highlight the latest additions in red (I suppose noone is using a monochrome monitor these days...).

Prices are in Japanese Yen, (*) indicates a mini-LP sleeve.

TOCJ 66430 Silver, Horace(p) / New Port Live '58 2500

I wonder what this one sounds like? In checking out Horace's discography, this appears to have been originally issued on a Spotlight LP. One of Horace's best bands, with Cook in the tenor chair. I'll have to consider this one. I put a call into Cuscuna to see if they're thinking about issuing it in the US any time soon.

LINER NOTES

Horace Silver is a dichotomy. He is one of the most meticulous and organized musicians in modern jazz and yet one of the funkiest. His Virgo-driven (born September 2, 1928) sense of order never dampened the soulful passion of his music; in fact, it enhanced the precision and impact of his work.

In 1955, he formed an alliance with Art Blakey to form a co-operative group entitled The Jazz Messengers with Hank Mobley, Doug Watkins and Kenny Dorham (later replaced by Donald Byrd). While I can’t think of two more different people than Horace and Art, their musical sites were set precisely on the same target – to bring the audience back to jazz by using the time-honored language and feeling of blues and gospel music to do it. The group jumped from Blue Note to Columbia and had a healthy degree of success before inevitably disbanding in the summer of 1956 due to the widely varying personalities and degrees of responsibility among its members. Co-operatives can’t survive in an art form that demands individuality. Essentially Blakey kept the name and Horace inherited the sidemen.

That November, he returned to Blue Note to record Six Pieces Of Silver with Byrd, Mobley, Watkins and Louis Hayes. One of Horace’s new pieces was Senor Blues; never had anyone in jazz come up with a tune that was so Latin, so funky and so unyieldingly hip. Silver and producer Alfred Lion must have known the potent commercial power of this tune at the session because they cut a shorter 45-single version at the date. The album was rushed out within weeks of recording and met with great reviews. Senor Blues received unrelenting airplay in every major city in the United States. In 1979, Horace told me about its origin, “I have always been turned on by Latin music as well as blues and gospel. I used to listen to Tito Puente at Birdland and other bands of that type. I was always fond of Latin rhythms.”

As airplay of Senor Blues spread, offers from clubs around the country came in and suddenly, a ubiquitous New York freelance musician became a bandleader. The Horace Silver Quintet was born as a working enterprise, as an outlet for Horace’s brilliant compositions and as an influential and shaping force in hard bop. Horace hit the road with Art Farmer, Mobley, Teddy Kotick and Hayes, his first real working band. In May 1957, they cut The Stylings Of Silver. But by late summer, Clifford Jordan replaced Hank Mobley who would leave to join Max Roach’s group.

When Further Explorations was cut on January 13, 1958, the group with Farmer, Jordan, Kotick and Hayes was intact. Five months later, Horace would make the first of many group changes in his career with Louis Hayes as the only holdover. Junior Cook, whom Horace had met in Washington D.C. when they both sat in with Lou Donaldson, came in on tenor. Gene Taylor was the new bassist. By the time they went into the studio on June 15 to cut a vocal version of Senor Blues with Bill Henderson, the trumpet chair had yet to be filled and Donald Byrd came in for the record date.

By the time of this Newport appearance, Louis Smith was hired as trumpeter. Smith had come to Blue Note in 1957 when Alfred Lion bought a number a masters from Tom Wilson’s defunct Transition label, including an unissued album by the superb young trumpeter. Smith was born in Memphis on May 20, 1931, attended Tennessee State University majoring in music. He eventually transferred to the University of Michigan where he met many of the musicians on the fertile Detroit scene. After an army stint, he accepted a job teaching music at Booker T. Washington High School in Atlanta. And that’s where he was when he came to New York in February 1957 to record the Transition album that would become one year later his Blue Note debut Here Comes Louis Smith. The album included Cannonball Adderley, using the pseudonym Buckshot LaFunke, and the first recorded composition of young Atlanta talent by the name of Duke Pearson who would, beginning in late 1959, figure large in Blue Note’s future.

Alfred Lion certainly liked what he heard and recorded a second Smith album Smithville on March 30, 1958 and used him on Kenny Burrell's Blue Lights session of May 15, which also included Junior Cook. It’s likely that Alfred pulled Horace’s coat to the dazzling talent. And by the end of June, he was in the band. Unfortunately, at the end of the summer, Smith decided to leave the group and return to teaching music. Except for a 1959 album called Down Home Reunion with fellow Mempheans Booker Little, George Coleman, Frank Strozier and Phineas Newborn, he would not record again until the Danish label Steeplechase sought him out in 1978.

While auditioning tapes at the Library of Congress recently, I came upon this Newport performance and was struck by the fact that a full performance during Louis Smith’s brief tenure with the group existed and that they actually performed Tippin’, a little known Silver original that was recorded three weeks earlier as the flip side of the vocal version of Senor Blues. Horace told me in 1979 when that single was issued on LP, "We were between albums, so I thought I should write something for the back side of the single instead of using something off the older albums. I guess that it was forgotten by the time we began planning the next album." That next album was Finger Poppin’ done on February 1, 1959, by which time Blue Mitchell was firmly in place in the trumpet chair.

Having known that George Avakian supervised the recording of the entire Newport festival that year for Columbia, I scoured their vaults and found a pristine three-track masters of Horace’s 44-minute performance which closed the Sunday afternoon program that year. It is a testament to the popularity of this young bandleader that he was afforded over 40 minutes of stage time when most bands were held to 20.

Tippin’ is a typically wonderful and memorable Silver line with a traditional 32-bar, AABA structure. Clearly, Gene Taylor and Louis Smith had already locked up as a rhythm section by this time. Junior Cook, like his predecessors in the band, never used an excessive amount of notes, built his solos methodically and always swung. Louis Smith’s gorgeous sound and fluid technique betray the influence of his favorite trumpeters Fats Navarro and Clifford Brown. And the ever-quotateous Horace is playing here with the kind of drive that one was more likely to hear from him on a bandstand than in a studio. It’s a shame that he didn’t choose to record live more often.

The Outlaw, like some of Horace’s most ingenious compositions, has a more unusual structure but flows beautifully. It is essentially a 13-bar line, the last six of which are over a Latin rhythm, played twice, then a ten-bar bridge, a 16-bar Latin vamp and two-bar tag. And the musicians solo on the structure! Cook, Smith and Silver take three choruses each, before they share a chorus and then return to the theme. George Shearing recorded this tune in 1960 and performed it frequently. Silver alumnus Brian Lynch cut a version in 1986, but it is woefully neglected piece in the Silver canon.

Horace’s Senor Blues is a magnificent creation, a sly, funky minor blues with a spare, memorable theme played over a captivating triple-meter Latin beat in an easy medium groove. Cook, Smith and Silver all solo in the pocket and maintain the tune’s understated tone. The trumpeter sounds eerily like his successor Blue Mitchell on the first few bars of his solo.

Cool Eyes, which was also introduced on Six Pieces Of Silver, is another ingenious Silver composition that became the quintet’s theme song. Horace has always been a unique and exciting comper, but he outdoes himself here, driving the proceedings as much as Hayes.

All five men solo brilliantly on this swinger.

Less than three months after this concert, Louis Smith returned to teaching and Horace hired Blue Mitchell for the trumpet position in the band. Except for one personnel change, when Louis Hayes left to join Cannonball Adderley in late 1959 and was replaced by Roy Brooks, this band lasted more than five years, becoming one of the most popular and recognizable groups in jazz with a legacy of six-and-a-half classic albums on Blue Note.

At this writing, Junior Cook and Gene Taylor are no longer with us. Louis Smith has retired from teaching and a stroke has ended his playing career. Louis Hayes is still working constantly and sounding great. Horace recently authored his autobiography Let’s Get to The Nitty Gritty (University Of California Press). In 2005, the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS) gave him the President’s Merit Award. He is also the president of Ecaroh Music Inc. and is actively involved in his website www.horacesilver.com.

It would be easy to call this Horace’s golden era, but he never stopped writing great compositions or putting together great bands. But this early chapter in the history of his longest-lasting band is a wonderful performance and valuable addition to his discography.

A little surprising that Michael doesn't know that the performance of "Tippin'" came out on the CD I linked to above ... but regardless, I'm really looking forward to hearing this, and also to see what Wolf photo they use to create a Reid Miles-like cover.

And its sad to hear that Louis Smith had a stroke and stopped playing. His last couple of recordings for Steeplechase have some fine straightahead playing, easily recommended.

UCCO 9273(DSD Mastering) Kelly, Wynton(p) / Piano* 2200

I see this title alternately referred to as either 'Piano' or 'Whisper Not' -- any particular reason for this?

The record was originally released as Wynton Kelly - Piano (RLP 12-254); a few years later it was re-released on Jazzland as 'Whisper Not' (JLP 83). That might be the reason...

Well let's see if they'll rename it again and call it 'Wynton the Kid' ....then we'll add in a few outakes a la Tommy Flanagan 'Overseas' and see if we can't get Reinier to buy it? :excited:

Does anyone know the story on the 7xxx series Blue Notes? Rebadged 4xxx series perhaps?

A kind and reliable person told me these are (most probably repressed) RVG remasters.

Right, I believe that they are just Japanese releases of the US RVG series.
