Freddie Hubbard – Open Sesame (1960) [1998 Classic Records DAD ISO]
IMG Burn rip | ISO with LOG | scans | 1.3 GB | Genre: Jazz
Open Sesame is the 1960 album by jazz musician Freddie Hubbard. This is an official Digital Audio Disc (DAD) version made by Classic Records in 24bit/96kHz, presented in the ISO format. This is to burn on a DVD-R and play on your device.
Freddie Hubbard’s first recording as a leader, Open Sesame features the 22-year-old trumpeter in a quintet with tenor saxophonist Tina Brooks, the up-and-coming pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Sam Jones and drummer Clifford Jarvis. This set shows that even at this early stage, Hubbard had the potential to be one of the greats. On the ballad “But Beautiful” he shows maturity; other highlights include “Open Sesame,” a driving “All or Nothing at All” and “One Mint Julep.” It’s an impressive start to what would be a very interesting career.

Exceptional jazz musicians capture our hearts with a warm tone, lyrical lines, a feel for the blues, respect for space, sheer speed or stamina—to name just a handful of winning traits. But not all exceptional jazz musicians work well together and only a bunch of couplings have produced dazzling results. Perfect partnerships that come to mind include Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie, Billie Holiday and Lester Young, Max Roach and Clifford Brown, John Coltrane and McCoy Tyner, Blue Mitchell and Horace Silver, Sonny Stitt and Don Patterson, Jim Hall and Paul Desmond—to name a handful. Add alto saxophonist Johnny Hodges and organist Wild Bill Davis to the list.

Louis Hayes – Return of the Jazz Communicators (2014)
FLAC (tracks) 24-bit/48 kHz | Time – 01:15:26 minutes | 924 MB | Genre: Jazz

Recorded live at Smoke Jazz Club, New York City, November 16, 2013
DRUMMER LOUIS HAYES, one of the chief architects of modern jazz drumming, was the rhythmic drive for historic recordings by Horace Silver, Cannonball Adderley, Oscar Peterson, Joe Henderson, Dexter Gordon, and McCoy Tyner. His playing has a rhythmic intensity that is as subtle as it is complex creating a musical feel and vibe on every track that is unmistakably Louis Hayes. When he reformed this band that he co-founded in the late ’60s with Freddie Hubbard and Joe Henderson—which Freddie dubbed the Jazz Communicators—Louis purposefully deviated from a conventional quintet lineup by featuring a vibraphone / tenor saxophone out front. It’s the esteemed pair of Steve Nelson and Abraham Burton, respectively, and their chemistry with Louis, pianist David Bryant and bassist Dezron Douglas makes The Return of the Jazz Communicators an inspired and rewarding set of music. The selections include a nice balance of standards and originals such as a ballad-feature for Nelson, Lush Life, and one for Burton, A Portrait of Jennie as well as the deep, loose groove of Mulgrew Miller’s Soul-Leo, which opens the record. Return of the Jazz Communicators captures this important jazz quintet in front of an enthusiastic and appreciative live audience. In the words of Louis Hayes, “I try to do what I do best and what makes me feel good…I guess I might as well keep on swinging. And, that’s basically what I’m going to do.” Return of the Jazz Communicators is available for purchase as a 8-panel CD-Deluxe Album complete with liner notes, interview and additional photos or as a high resolution download mastered for iTunes.
