Nice!

Put Zev Feldman on the case! He's the "jazz detective," isn't he?

In the liner notes to Arnett Cobb Live (Timeless), Lee Jeske wrote in 1982: "A couple of years ago Lionel Hampton assembled an all-star band for a European tour and then had to drop out of the tour due of illness. However, he sent the unit out with his two star tenormen - Cobb and Jacquet - to make up for any disappointment that Hampton's non-appearance would cause. Now this was truly an all-star band - Ricky Ford, Kai Winding, Curtis Fuller, Benny Bailey, etc. - but when those two Texas longhorns started butting heads, there was no stopping them. The other musicians had to steal solo space whenever they could get it, but the audience - on the night I saw the band - was goggle-eyed from the deepfried tenor playing from those two titans." Are there any recordings of this tour?

Release date September 27: As the superlative liner notes by C. Andrew Hoven for the album suggests, this recording marks the new chapter of trumpeter/composer Dave Scott’s musical history. Dave Scott recorded exclusively his adventurous original compositions in a series of releases in the past. Here for the first time Scott dedicates the whole album on a canon of jazz standards where he finds his roots and source for inspiration. He selected a collection of his favourite songs to complement his highly refined quartet. Sweden in the 60s was experiencing the surge of cool jazz (Tristano tradition) and saw young alto saxophonist Rolf Billberg emerged on the scene as one of its most talented practitioners. Due to his premature death at age 35 ten months after this recording his name never made it to the stardom. This hitherto unknown album is one rare testimony to the state of Swedish jazz scene. It was recorded in November 1965 privately in the legendary live/rehearsal basement club Subland in Malmö.

Release date September 20: This second pairing of the dominant trombonist of our time and the prolific idiosyncratic composer Gregg Hill, plays out in an expansive aural sandbox. Full of reminders of '70s cinema, Zappa albums circa The Grand Wazoo, bebop, and Big Bands through the ages, the strong melodies and committed musical integrity assure the feeling is substantial, swinging, and exciting. Structured and highly contrapuntal pieces unfold in sections, with the world-class soloists imbuing the music with an organic energy that ties together the storylines. Dease, performing on trombone and baritone sax, is joined by the woodwind section of Sharel Cassity, Rudresh Mahanthappa, Jason Hainsworth & Virginia MacDonald, Matt White on trumpet, Nanami Haruta on trombone, and the rhythm section of Bill Cunliffe, Katie Thiroux, Colleen Clark, and Gwendolyn Dease on marimba & percussion.Bustling like a mashup of Ray Anderson and Charles Mingus, Dease's band carves a broad swath through territory that seems somewhat familiar. - DownBeat

Release date October 4: Though the term "visionary" is rather overused, it certainly applies to tenor saxophonist and composer JD Allen. A musical sponge of sorts, Allen is a remarkable amalgam of a wide variety of musical styles and influences, blurring the boundaries of contemporary jazz by creating a dynamic fusion of tradition and modernity. There is a decidedly "third stream" quality to Allen's compositions, combining as they do advanced classical compositional techniques, the incorporation of electronic sounds and the distillation of historic jazz genres such as call and response, field hollers and, of course, the blues. This type of music relies on the total dedication of all the performers and Allen's latest recording features three of his regular colleagues, the acoustic and electric basses of Gregg August and Ian Kenselaar and the remarkably expressive drummer, Nic Cacioppo. These men have worked with Allen on his previous Savant recordings, perhaps most notably on the unofficial trilogy of "Americana," "Americana Vol. 2" and "Barracoon," and can be considered kindred spirits with their leader. Together, they delve into themes of culture and history, offering moving narratives through their sophisticated approach and profound improvisational skills.

Release date September 27: Tomas Fujiwara : Drums and Vibraphone, Michael Formanek : Double Bass, Mary Halvorson : Guitar... Celebrating a dozen years of work, the all-star jazz trio Thumbscrew celebrates by releasing their eighth album, also their eighth album for Cuneiform, who has been with them since the beginning! All of these players are respected leaders in their own right, and all work together in a number of other projects each led by one or another. While all of the three members of Thumbscrew are noted players, we would be remiss not to point out that the this seems to be Mary Halvorson's decade, as she's won the DownBeat Critic's Poll as Guitarist of the Year for the last few years, as well as placing fifth place this year as Artist of the Year; no one interested in contemporary creative composition and performance can ignore her!

Release date September 27: “colorful, witty, unpredictable, inventive and swinging” is what jazz critic Scott Yanow observes of cornetist/composer Knuffke. He created here an astoundingly musical sounding board by the two phenomenal double bass players: SteepleChase stalwart Jay Anderson (left channel) and Swedish born Thommy Andersson (right channel). Just like his previous “unusual” album of cornet and tuba Tight Like This. this one will be regarded as “very memorable and very entertaining ” . (K. Oleksiuk – The New York City Jazz Record)

Release date September 20: As a composer and bandleader, trumpeter David Weiss is dedicated to the proposition that there are still new stories to be told from within the bebop tradition. The several collaborative bands he's spearheaded over the last 3 decades - including the superband, The Cookers - are towering examples, but none more personal to his voice than this ongoing Sextet. With longtime collaborators saxophonist Myron Walden and drummer EJ Strickland, and newer musical partners such as tenor saxophonist Nicole Glover and pianist David Bryant, Weiss creates expansive harmonic and rhythmic frameworks for the group to explore and summit. Intriguing melodies and virtuosic solos highlight this set of five originals, along with compositions from Freddie Hubbard and Slide Hampton. "... innovating while drawing from tradition... creating a powerful, propulsive force." - Jazz TimesHarmonies shift in unsettled patterns; the pieces, beautiful as they are, work through their troubles in long, ruminative phrases; and the soloists likewise pitch their virtuosity in search of an elusive place they can call home... The tunes are lovely. - DownBeat.

Release date October 4: As far as drummer Brandon Sanders is concerned, everyone should have a grandmother who runs a jazz club. It was at the Casablanca, his grandmother's nightspot in Kansas City, that he was first exposed to the music of such greats as Jimmy Smith, Grant Green, and Lou Donaldson. Sanders may be long removed from those formative days, but on this CD, his sophomore recording for Savant, he pays homage to the influence and memory of his grandmother, Ernestine Parker, in the the album's first track, "Miss Ernestine." With his understated, whispery light touch on the drums, Sanders breathes fresh life into favorites, such as Parker's "Moose the Mooche" and Monk's "Four in One." The group shifts into pop mode on the Michael Jackson hit "Human Nature," which features guest vocalist Christie Dashiell, who also delivers a sensuous version of Ellington's "Prelude to a Kiss." Featuring vibraphonist Warren Wolf, pianist Keith Brown, bassist David Wong and saxophonist Chris Lewis, "The Tables Will Turn" marks another important chapter in Brandon Sander's career. Release date November 15: Jazz legend George Cables celebrates his 80th birthday with a stunning new recording, showcasing the timeless artistry that has defined his illustrious career. Known for his flawless technique and unparalleled musicianship, he has established himself as a towering figure in the jazz world. With icons like Art Pepper, Dexter Gordon and Freddie Hubbard he solidified his reputation as one of the most versatile and sought-after pianists of his generation. This album does not just honor his storied past but, with tunes both old and new, it captures the essence of a musician who has not only shaped jazz history but continues to influence it's evolution. The recording features jazz standards by legends like Cole Porter, Duke Ellington, and Horace Silver, as well as a tribute to the next generation of jazz talent with a piece by Arcoiris Sandoval, an exciting female pianist making waves in the jazz scene today. Throughout, Cables bridges the past and future of jazz, crafting an album that is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado. Join in celebrating this milestone and the remarkable contributions of a true jazz giant.

As long as Amazon still carries that album.

I imagine the software gets cheaper with each passing year, so in the near future you'll be able to do it.

Truly a loss. May his memory be for a blessing.

I would guess there's more of a fraternity/cameraderie among players (musicians, record owners, etc.) in the jazz world. They all knew each other, and most were friends. After a while, they probably didn't care, and wanted the real story to get out (so that "Zeke" could get some recognition, for example). Another example is Bennie Green's "Soul Stirrin'" on Blue Note. At the time of its release, Gene Ammons was credited only as "Jug." But by the '80's reissues, he was credited in full.
