(je pense que c'est le morceau que j'aime le plus au monde, pour de vrai)
la version

Phil Woods Quartet - Woodlore

It's weird initially running into Phil Woods because of Steely Dan's "Doctor Wu" on Katy Lied, but that's how I first encountered him.

Woodlore is his second outing as a leader, in 1956, and while brief, it's quite a good time in quite a "live" studio space.

He's joined by John Williams (piano, and no, not that one), Nick Stabulas, (drums), and Teddy Kotick (bass).

lou donaldson - here ‘tis

Tone Poet Society release of this 1961 session from Donaldson (sax), Grant Green (guitar), "Baby Face" Willette (organ), and Dave Bailey (drums) has a heavy emphasis on blues and soul-jazz, with some hard bop.

Lots of good moments, and although I tend to prefer piano/bass in there rather than organ, Willette's playing is hard to dismiss.

Music Inc. - Live at Slugs - Volume I & II

Previously two separate Strata-East LPs, combined on a CD at some point, and now given a really respectful, deluxe treatment by Mack Avenue.

Remastered by Kevin Gray, pressed at RTI…

Anyway, Charles Tolliver (trumpet), Stanley Cowell (piano), Cecil McBee (bass), and Jimmy Hopps (drums) ride the line between hard bop and avant garde jazz to great effect.

Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers - A Day with Art Blakey 1961

Blakey is joined at Sankei Hall in Tokyo by Wayne Shorter (sax), Lee Morgan (trumpet), Jymie Merritt (bass), and Bobby Timmons (piano).

This is a radio recording, made by TBS, with decent-to-good sound, and very good performances for an enthusiastic crowd. Artists must have loved their time in Japan…

Hank Mobley Quartet - s/t

Terrific 1955 debut Blue Note session of the 25-year-old Mobley (sax), Horace Silver (piano), Doug Watkins (bass), and Art Blakey (drums)...which may sound familiar, given the Jazz Messengers (which Mobley played with, too).

Old(ish) Music Matters 45 RPM re-release of 25 minutes of mono hard bop, mostly Mobley originals, save for Porter's Love for Sale.

Landslide is an album by American jazz saxophonist Dexter Gordon featuring recordings from 1961 and 1962 which was first released on the Blue Note label in 1980 as part of the Blue Note Classics series.

The Allmusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine stated: "Landslide is comprised of previously unreleased material from three separate Dexter Gordon-led sessions between May 1961 and June 1962. ... All three sessions hold together fairly well, and although nothing on the record qualifies as a masterpiece, nothing is bad, either. In comparison to the released sessions, this material may pale somewhat, but it remains first-rate hard bop and is recommended to Gordon collectors". - Wikipedia

Beat Review by Jason Ankeny

Recorded for Berry Gordy's short-lived Workshop Jazz imprint, Roy Brooks' simply but authoritatively titled Beat fuses the intellectual rigors of the modern idiom with the physical prowess of soul-jazz to create a record of uncommon scope and reach. Working with Horace Silver Quintet colleagues Blue Mitchell, Junior Cook, and Gene Taylor alongside Detroit contemporaries George Bohannon and Hugh Lawson, Brooks channels influences spanning the breadth of the Motor City scene, resulting in a clutch of challenging but engaging performances with the unmistakable patina of the embryonic Motown sound. While their technical proficiency is stunning, Brooks' rhythms never lose sight of the almighty groove, and for its hard bop stridency, the record has the proverbial good beat and you can dance to it.
