THREE WINDOWS

Eddie Harris's influence as a saxophonist was monumental, and this compilation highlights some of his greatest contributions to the fields of rhythm, funk, and jazz. The iconic "Freedom Jazz Dance" and the sax solo of "Listen Here" electrify. Features the love theme from The Sandpiper "The Shadow Of Your Smile" and much more.

Push Push is a 1971 instrumental album by jazz flautist Herbie Mann and features rock guitarist Duane Allman. The record explored a range of popular genres, such as R&B, rock and funk music. [Note: This product is an authorized CD-R and is manufactured on demand] This means it is an M.O.D. title.

PLENTY PLENTY SOUL

Working primarily within the context of a trio, the renowned pianist has set the standard by which rhythm and improvisation are incorporated with space, silence and volume. Coinciding with the jazz pioneer's 50th anniversary of life in the spotlight comes Nature, a joint venture between Atlantic and the Paris-based Birdology label. Gorgeously evocative, the album blends straight-ahead jazz with the sounds of the Caribbean on a mix of fresh originals and standards.

LIVE AT THE HALF NOTE

The Clown introduced two of Mingus' finest compositions in the driving, determined "Haitian Fight Song" and the '40s-flavored "Reincarnation of a Lovebird," a peaceful but melancholy tribute to Charlie Parker; Mingus would return to both throughout his career.

Charles Mingus's consummate musicianship made live performance a tricky undertaking, his perfectionism often clashing with variables he couldn't fully control. In this set at Carnegie Hall, his gift as an arranger is most evident, his artful renditions of two Duke Ellington songs acting as a conversation between two musical giants, instead of just a retelling. Known to be thunderous, he was often just electrifying.

CHANGES TWO

Scott's unique voice, versatile style of singing for jazz and rarity as a performer are all on magnificent display in this heavily underrated 1993 album from when he was right on the cusp of his big comeback.

GARY BURTON & KEITH JARRETT / THROB

After working with high-calibre artists like Wynton Marsalis, Cyrus Chestnut has released his third album. The jazz pianist touches upon hymn, Jelly-Roll Morton bebop, slow blues and early jazz gumbo. Considering the fact that Cyrus holds the record at Gavin for the most jazz radio adds in 1 week, radio should definitely respond to tracks like "Cooldaddy's Perspective," "Whoopie," Grandma's Blues" and "My Song in the Night."

With a performing cast that includes Marcus Roberts, bassist Reginald Veal and drummer Herlin Riley, these 11 tracks (recorded in New Orleans) span a wide range of traditional styles - from blues to be bop to New Orleans swing.
