To say this one's been a long time coming would be an understatement! This awesome set features a 4 hour (!) DVD, loaded with rare footage of the Skatalites, Jackie Mittoo and Ernest Ranglin, plus in-depth interviews with Dodd and a whole host of artists that had worked their way through the Studio One stable throughout the years.
This is the story of Studio One Records, the most important record label in the history of Reggae. Synonymous with Studio One is Clement 'Sir Coxsone' Dodd, the founder of the label. The story is as much that of Clement Dodd as it is the story of Studio One.

Cold Fact is the debut album from American singer-songwriter Rodriguez.It was released in the USA on the Sussex label in March 1970.It is notable that while the album sold very poorly in the United States (Rodriguez was himself an unknown in the States),it managed to sell well in both South Africa and Australia without Rodriguez himself even knowing.
In 1971 the album was released in South Africa by A&M Records, who were by then the owners of the Sussex label.In 1976, several thousand copies of Cold Fact were found in a New York warehouse and sold out in Australia in a few weeks.It went to #23 on the Australian album charts, staying on the charts for 55 weeks.In 1998 Cold Fact was awarded a platinum disc in South Africa, and was 5x platinum in Australia. Rodriguez has since toured South Africa and Australia with much success, but remains relatively unknown in his native country of USA.

Carried by its almost impossibly infectious eponymous opening track, The Sidewinder helped foreshadow the sounds of boogaloo and soul-jazz with its healthy R&B influence and Latin tinge. While the rest of the album retreats to a more conventional hard bop sound, Morgan's compositions are forward-thinking and universally solid. Only 25 at the time of its release, Morgan was accomplished (and perhaps cocky) enough to speak of mentoring the great Joe Henderson, who at 26 was just beginning to play dates with Blue Note after getting out of the military.
Henderson makes a major contribution to the album, especially on "Totem Pole," where his solos showed off his singular style, threatening to upstage Morgan, who is also fairly impressive here. Barry Harris, Bob Cranshaw, and Billy Higgins are all in good form throughout the album as well, and the group works together seamlessly to create an album that crackles with energy while maintaining a stylish flow.

Where has Terry Callier been all of our lives? Outside of the lucky few collectors fortunate enough to possess copies of his 1968 debut The New Folk Sound of Terry Callier and the series of brilliant records he cut for the Cadet label during the mid-1970s, the Chicago singer/songwriter has otherwise slipped through the cracks of contemporary music; his resurrection has been a long time in coming, and Timepeace is indeed well worth the wait.
Long ago tagged with the label "folk-jazz," Callier's music eludes easy description; cosmic and spiritual, it also bears the influence of gospel and soul, yet synthesizes its disparate elements in unprecedented and breathtaking ways. Sparked by Callier's spiralling guitar leads, highlights like "Lazarus Man" and "Java Sparrow" seem to tap a higher consciousness, his yearning vocals channeling unfathomable power; the stark opener "Ride Suite Ride" matches the grace of Curtis Mayfield with the poignancy of Nick Drake, while "Coyote Moon" captures an ethereal yet pastoral beauty best likened to extraterrestrial country music.
It's wonderful to have Callier back again -- we need him now more than ever.by Jason Ankeny
This sort of folky, jazzy and soul-influenced style was also taken up occasionally by such people as Richie Havens, Taj Mahal, early Joan Armatrading and Gil Scott-Heron. On Time Peace, Terry Callier gives us one of the finest examples of the genre, with tasteful musicianship, an often atmospheric sound and Callier's outstanding vocals. Lyrically, the album seems a period piece, with his songs about peace, love and being positive to overcome adversity, racial or otherwise -- the old-fashioned values of idealism that have hardly been heard since the last Gil Scott-Heron album.By G.Graham.

A cool bit of bossa jazz from Italy – recorded by a group who clearly draw inspiration from Sergio Mendes, but also take their tunes in some bold new directions! Like other Euro bossa work of the time, there's really a strong respect here for the original Brazilian sound – but also a different sort of vibe too, one that clearly brings in some sunny Mediterranean moments to really spark things up!
Percussion is heavy, vocals are often sung together and sweet – and there's some nice use of organ bubbling around in the background, which links the record a bit to some of the Italian film scores that we love from the time. Very groovy stuff throughout – with lyrics in Italian, but a universal appeal to any lover of warm bossa grooves!

A modest man who defined himself as an Italian farmer, Carlo Rustichelli studied piano at the Academia Filarmonica in Bologna and composition at the Academia Santa Cecilia in Rome. After graduation he befriended a neighbor, director Federico Fellini, who led him to the Italian film industry. Rustichelli scored his first movie in 1939, but he wanted to concentrate on orchestral direction, theater and opera, and quit the industry. His musical style, based on popular sonorities, attracted filmmaker Pietro Germi, who brought him back to cinema forever.
Rustichelli was the most prolific composer of his times, and wrote some 250 scores (other sources claim around 400), including the classic Germi comedies Divorzio all'italiana, Seduced and Abandoned and Signore & signori / The Birds, The Bees and the Italians. Their collaboration was similar to that of Nino Rota and Fellini: he scored 18 of Germi's 19 films.
Rustichelli was also versatile, able to work on different genres, from spaghetti westerns, medieval chivalry farces, and fantasy films, to péplums (known as "cloak and sandal" movies), vehicles for the popular comedian Totò, and early giallos. He collaborated with filmmakers as varied as Pier Paolo Pasolini, Billy Wilder, Dino Risi, Bernardo Bertolucci, Mario Monicelli, Nanni Loy and cult favorite Mario Bava. He was also the first composer to use the Martenot waves as an instrument, in the score for the 1958 science-fiction film La morte viene dallo spazio.
Rustichelli retired in 1995. He won the Flaiano International prize for his career in 1974, and two Blue Ribbon awards from the Association of Italian Film Critics for his scores for Germi's Man of Straw (1957) and Monicelli's L’armata Brancaleone (1967)

Personnel: Art Farmer (trumpet), Jackie McLean (alto sax), Sonny Clark (piano), Paul Chambers (bass), Philly Joe Jones (drums)
Recorded in 1958, this legendary date with the still-undersung Sonny Clark in the leader's chair also featured a young Jackie McLean on alto (playing with a smoother tone than he had before or ever did again), trumpeter Art Farmer, and the legendary rhythm section of bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Philly Joe Jones, both from the Miles Davis band. The set begins with one of the preeminent "swinging medium blues" pieces in jazz history: the title track with its leveraged fours and eights shoved smoothly up against the walking bass of Chambers and the backbeat shuffle of Jones.
Clark's solo, with its grouped fifths and sevenths, is a wonder of both understatement and groove, while Chambers' arco solo turns the blues in on itself. While there isn't a weak note on this record, there are some other tracks that stand out, most notably Miles' "Sippin' at Bells," with its loping Latin rhythm. When McLean takes his solo against a handful of Clark's shaded minor chords, he sounds as if he may blow it -- he comes out a little quick -- but he recovers nicely and reaches for a handful of Broadway show tunes to counter the minor mood of the piece.
He shifts to both Ben Webster and Lester Young before moving through Bird, and finally to McLean himself, riding the margin of the changes to slip just outside enough to add some depth in the middle register. The LP closes with Henderson and Vallée's "Deep Night," the only number in the batch not rooted in the blues. It's a classic hard bop jamming tune and features wonderful solos by Farmer, who plays weird flatted notes all over the horn against the changes, and McLean, who thinks he's playing a kind of snake charmer blues in swing tune. This set deserves its reputation for its soul appeal alone.
P.s The CD version includes two bonus tracks "Royal Flush" and "Lover".Thanx Cousin.

The journey continues: in volume 2, Short reveals a distinctly European sound, modal montages inspired by pilgrimages to Asia and Africa, experiments in rhythm and sound where modern jazz meets traditional Balkan and Flamenco folk music.
The album is dedicated to British jazz pianist Michael Garrick, who passed away in November 2011. Included is ‘Temple Dancer’, a previously unreleased live recording, showing Garrick at the height of his prowess. Other rare treasures include ‘Bosna Calling’ by Serbian trumpeter Duško Gojković, with its forceful introduction from German bassist Rob Langereis. Finish jazz maestro Heikki Sarmanto’s offering is euphoric: a ten minute choral masterpiece, recorded live at a concert at Temppeliakuio Church, Helsinki, in 1978.
This project has been lovingly compiled, and comes accompanied by comprehensive liner notes with individual items on each track, album cover scans and previously unpublished photographs: an impossibly rare and beautifully presented collection.Gavin Kendrick
