Out Of The Blue. ![]() One of the strongest of Miles Davis' recordings with his first classic quintet (a group also including the young tenor saxophonist John Coltrane, pianist Red Garland, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Philly Joe Jones), this CD reissue is highlighted by If I Were a Bell, I Could Write a Book and Sonny Rollins' Oleo.

A listening feast! ![]() A compilation of Cuban conguero Ramon "Mongo" Santamaria's first two albums for Fantasy Records, Afro Roots features not only an all-star percussion section, including Willie Bobo, Francisco Aguabella, Carlos Vidal, and Armando Perazza, but also musicians such as flutist Paul Horn, vibist Cal Tjader, and saxophonist Jose "Chombo" Silva. This disc also includes the original version of Santamaria's classic "Afro-Blue" (a simmering, sensual reading featuring Horn). The music, closer to traditional Cuban music than to any notion of Latin jazz, sounds as fresh and engaging as when it was recorded, in 1958. The set includes nods to traditional Afro-Cuban religious ritual music ("Afro-Blue," "Bata," "Imaribayo") and classic rumba ("Chano Pozo," "Meta Rumba," "Yambu," "Columbia") but also conga ("Conga Pa Gozar"), merengue-rumba ("Che-Que-Re-Que-Che-Que"), and an elegant but forceful mambo ("Mazacote," featuring Tjader). —Fernando Gonzalez ![]() The first Christmas album ever by the Monkees, Christmas Party is collection of holiday standards and new classics that include “The Christmas Song,” “Silver Bells,” Wonderful Christmastime” and the focus track “Unwrap You At Christmas.” Christmas Party includes new vocals by Micky Dolenz, Michael Nesmith, and Peter Tork, plus the late Davy Jones’ unmistakable voice – taken from vintage recordings – also appears on two songs. In addition to classics, Christmas Party features new songs written by Rivers Cuomo (Weezer), Andy Partridge (XTC), and Peter Buck (REM). ![]() No Description Available ![]() Sundazed introduces vinyl LP's of the first five Monkees albums!
