Review: Ugetsu from Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers is a live album put out originally by Riverside Records in October 1963. It features six cuts - although more were said to have been played on the night, but didn't fit on the record - and all are played by Blakey on drums, Freddie Hubbard on trumpet, Curtis Fuller on trombone, Wane Shorter on tenor sax, Cedar Walton on piano and Reggie Workman on double bass. It's a straight-up jazz set with classics like 'I Didn't Know What Time It Was' sounding all the better for being live and direct.

Review: ***B-STOCK: Sleeve damaged & record has light surface marks/scratches, otherwise in excellent working condition***

Review: Butcher Brown is a polymath-like band from Richmond, here following their critically lauded 2022 album Butcher Brown Presents Triple Trey with another superb long player. Solar Music arrives vida Concord Jazz and though rooted in jazz, very much finds the band expanding their horizons and exploring the spaces in between traditional genres. Their dynamic approach to recording sees the band draw on their own personal heritages and upbringing in Richmond to blend together elements of soul, funk, rock, and hip-hop. Several top guests including Pink Siifu, Charlie Hunter, Braxton Cook, Jay Prince, Nappy Nina, Keyon Harrold, Michael Millions and more all feature.

Review: The recordings that make up Afro Blue Impressions were acquired by jazz impresario and auteur Norman Granz, during the tours he produced for many jazz artists during the 1960s, though they weren't issued until 1973. Recorded at shows in Berlin and Stockholm, the John Coltrane Quartet - comprising pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Jimmy Garrison, and drummer Elvin Jones - is in tremendous form here, using a familiar repertoire in order to expand upon the group's own building blocks in creating the new post-harmonic system that the saxophonist was developing at the time. Reissued on vinyl by Craft Recordings, this one comes released as part of the Craft Jazz Essentials series.

Review: The Original Jazz Classics Series turns its attention here to the one and only Miles Davis, who worked with his quintet for the boldly titled Workin' With The Miles Davis Quintet album. This period back in the mid-50s was a halcyon one for Davis and jazz and for that reason the band is often called one of the best in jazz history. Alongside Davis on his trusty trumpet, John Coltrane was on tenor sax, with piano from Red Garland, Paul Chambers on bass and Philly Joe Jones on the sticks. This new version of this classic record has been remastered from original analogue tapes and been pressed to 180g vinyl so its sounds superb.
