in cairo , the egyptian environmental agency says the official count of
black cloud days
so far this year is two . last year , there were six . when people first noticed the cloud 10 or 11 years ago , it seemed to hang around for weeks on end .
in cairo , this is the season of the black cloud — the inky haze of pollution that on its worst days descends on the egyptian capital with noxious , throat - burning fumes .
egyptians battle the ' black cloud ' of cairo egypt ' s capital city is blanketed by an inky haze of pollution that on its worst days can bring noxious , throat - burning fumes . most people blame the black cloud on farmers burning agricultural waste . while the government has made some progress in trying to reduce the smog level , it has a long way to go .

black has thoroughly absorbed the memphis sound , incorporating the chugging rhythm , spritely horns , and soulful beats . meanwhile , her voice and method of interpretation echo the greats like dusty springfield , mavis staples , and ann peebles . and let ' s not forget the huge importance of memphis in the blues world as black ' s music bridges the worlds of blues and soul .

with his mature tracks , it’s not surprising that james got an early start , discovering his skills as a preteen and launching his career at 17 . “ever since then i’ve been dropping mixtapes , eps , lps and albums , ” he says . james connected with ie - based label black cloud music in early 2008 .

in the town of zagazig , the regional hub for farming villages north of the capital , environmental official omar abdelaziz akul says the farmers aren ' t getting a fair shake . he says the black cloud is made up of many types of pollutants .
amy black rediscovered her southern soul on 2015 ' s the muscle shoals sessions , whereas her earlier work placed black firmly within the americana scene . some of us happen to believe that soul music is americana and african american - originated musical forms have largely and wrongly been left out of the broad americana genre . so , in my book , her music still counts as americana as it melds roots music categorizations . for her new album , black went for the memphis sound , home to the all - mighty stax records and their signature horn sound , as well as hi records . titled memphis , the record will release 2 june 2017 on her own reuben records .
well that music video is now available to all through dubcnn and myspace . the single off the album
is home and as such his official site and forums are back in full effect with updates and new music .

“a lot of the songs on this album [ are ] very personal and heartfelt , some are also very dark and beautiful , i really put my heart in this album , ” he says . “i would love for my music to be beautiful but there’s a lot of darkness in me . in my music i reflected both and i didn’t separate them—there’s both in all songs . i learned how to accept the darkness and that’s the beauty in me . ”
started writing in the 9th grade . coming from a musical family , ( his aunt was part of the 70 ' s group , labelle ) , it didn ' t take long for him to find his way into music .
“the hi rhythm section and the folks who recorded with willie mitchell are now favorites of mine , but a year ago , i didn’t know about them , ” black admits . “now i’m also a huge fan of o . v . wright and otis clay . and ann peebles - - oh man , i just love the feel of her music ; i love what it does to me . that’s the coolest part of this project - - the exposure to these artists that have become a part of me . ”

if you ask egyptians who is responsible for the cloud , most will point north to the sharkiya governorate , where much of egypt ' s rice crop is planted . farmers traditionally burn their rice straw this time of year , and the smoke adds to cairo ' s already heavy pollution to create a dark layer of smog .
has witnessed and partaken in much of what you hear in the music we call hip hop - yet don ' t assume he encompasses a thug image and is caught up with discussing what heat he holds or how much weight he moved this week .
in one week we have arranged four contests for our readers . today we are proud to launch a contest in conjunction with another music industry giant . you will have noticed while browsing the site that mtv are advertising a special week this week - the
and james does more than rap , as he’s also a local hip - hop promoter ( hosting “the common ground” with lesa j , a biweekly sunday night at riverside’s the vibe ) and helps run bricktoyaface . com , a website featuring artist interviews , show videos and regional music promotions .
putting the team together , gluing it together . i ' m the one that puts everything in the proper perspective . get everyone thinking alike , moving alike , loving alike . let everybody know that it ' s built on love first . if we love each first , the music will kick right in .
air - quality chief ahmed abu sa ' oud says the cloud has had one positive effect — it spurred the government to tackle air pollution problems that have been allowed to grow for decades . in addition to the burning of agricultural waste , he says vehicle exhaust fumes and industrial pollution are major contributors . and he says the smog is worse this time of year because of meteorological conditions that trap the pollution in the lower atmosphere .
i wrote ' the blackest cloud ' during my first scouting trip to memphis last september . i came to town for a week to take it all in - - visit the historic sites , read up on the history , meet with possible producers , tour studios and do some writing . i was camped out in a little bohemian - style studio apartment in the cooper / young district . i would wake up in the morning , brew my coffee and write , still in my pjs . blackest cloud was the first song that came to me . it started with the horn and guitar riff and a beat ( that i worked out by slapping my hands on my legs ) . i didn ' t write with a guitar or keys , just my voice . i moved from the opening riff to the verses and the chorus - - it flowed pretty quickly from there .
well the goverment know him as walter gaines but the neighbourhood know him by his music . graduating from inglewood high in 2002 after swapping and changing schools he opted to head towards a career in hip - hop . when he turned 17 he looked at his life thus far and began to think that this was his calling .
the goal with the melody and groove was for it to be a fun song to sing along with and dance to , but the lyrics go deeper . the meaning is up to the listener . the blackest cloud could be anything from something in their past that won ' t let them move on to a current difficult experience that ' s bringing them down . i tend to carry the weight of the world on my shoulders , which can sometimes make it hard for me to enjoy life the way i ' d like to . i ' ve had some experience with depression , and i know friends and family who deal with it daily . when you are in the middle of it , it ' s like a dark cloud is following you around - - one you can ' t shake . finding hope can feel impossible in these times , but it is the key . i didn ' t give forethought about the outcome of writing and recording a song about this topic - - having to talk about why i wrote it - - but i ' m glad i put it out there . maybe the blackest cloud can encourage those who have this experience to know they aren ' t alone , and there is always hope - - and , on a smaller level , get them a reason to dance around the house . kitchen dancing always lifts my spirits !
whatever you believe it matters not , what counts is that on september 13th 1996 , a little piece of the artform we called hip - hop was lost forever . so raise a glass to the sky , toast a fallen icon and celebrate his life through his music in whatever way you see fit . dubcnn would like to pay its respect to

hot patada .
they dissed the hell out of each other in the early to mid - 90 ' s , they had look - a - likes dress up and kidnapped each other in their videos , and a lot more . the feud between ruthless records and death row records is to this day one of the most publicized beefs and probably the one that generated the hottest music .
killa klump is poised for a takeover with his new album
foundation
, and continuing the rah muzic movement of the super - hyphy sound that has become the bay area’s new signature sound . klump , born noah kerrien , is not new to the game , his father david wrote and worked with people like michael jackson in the early 80’s . klump was born with music in his soul . he started out in talent shows singing and developed a love for music . “this was in me before i was even born… . my dad is a musician , my grandmother use to sing at functions and it is what it is , it’s in my blood” . klump has worked on albums and mixtapes such as louieloc’s “power moves , ” ctdc’s “the arrival , ”
the mixtape was hailed as an underground gem and gave them the chance to headline a new years eve show . over the year that passed the duo went their separate ways due to creative differences . now older and wiser , they find themselves still in the music industry tired of the politics and restrictions but with a common goal of helping bring real hip - hop to the masses once more .
the video was shot all over memphis by stacie huckeba who is nashville - based but has a deep connection with memphis . we did an eight - hour shoot with 28 full takes of the song - - and energy remained high to the end ! we started at the top of the bass pro shop pyramid , where i danced myself dizzy on the observation deck , entertaining the diners ( think flashdance ) , moved on to a walking bridge that had us out over the middle of the mississippi river , then to beale street and lastly to the bar that claims to be the oldest in memphis , the lamplighter , where our gracious bartender ann , who has been there for 40 years , let us film . you can catch her cameo ( my favorite moment ) at the end of the video . on days like these , that black cloud is nowhere in sight ; it ' s all sunshine - - i ' m living my passion and falling more in love with a city that increasingly holds a special place in my heart .
we want to showcase the premiere new west hip - hop & r & b ; talent for a & rs ; , radio stations , labels and fans to see what the music is all about . we are offering one last spot on the mixtape to a new westcoast artist ( hip - hop / r & b ; ) that wants to be a part of this mixtape . you will be featured alongside names such as
is a proverbial sponge , he soaks up what he sees and he lays it out for others to interpret ; he sits between what some would call a
backpack
rapper and what the mainstream is used to ; exactly the kind of artist needed . he has real charisma , real emotion and when you hear him you can feel that passion that drives him to make music . . . the same passion that has earned him the accolades and the attention .
i finally got to really sit down with tyrese this week at his headquarter offices and check out his album and new mixtape . all i can say is wow . black ty has some shit for real , people have been doubting him getting into the rap game but he not only can spit , he really paints a picture with each song . check out his mixtape for the warm up , and make sure you stay tuned for his album . he ' s got everyone on it and the lead single is a banger . . . do not sleep and open your eyes !
ras and i were at element by ourselves and had ran into game several times that night . nothing was said at anytime . toward the last 15 minutes of the club all of us were standing on stage where the vip section was held that night , game calmly aproached ras to talk to him and ras turned around not acknowlding him . game then gave ras a cheap shot with a bottle while ras was turned around . ras fought back as i was dealing with others from the black wallstreet camp . security quickly stopped the fight and all involved were escorted out . ras is perfectly fine no damage done .

the song was recorded at electraphonic on the first day of our sessions - - this was the day we had some of the next generation memphis players in the studio - - joe restivo from the bo - keys on guitar , al gamble from st . paul and the broken bones on keys , george sluppick on drums who just returned to memphis after living in la for several years and touring with chris robinson , joined by hi rhythm great leroy
flick
hodges on bass . later we added memphis horns arranged by marc franklin , who also plays the killer trumpet parts , and long - time memphis soul sirens , reba russell and danielle hill sang background vocals - - i joined in too to give it three parts . we recorded the album on 8 - tracks and had only one available for backgrounds on ' the blackest cloud ' , so we all jumped on the mic and did it together .
i didn ' t intend to alienate all arabs with that song , i just wanted to paint an accurate picture of what ' s really going on in our hood to provoke thought , letting black people know that we don ' t have to support those that do not have our best interest at hand . i had no beef with the arab clothing store owners because i didn ' t think it applied to them , but obviously they think it does . therefore , i say that i have no problem with any arab that respects our people and treats them with the same dignity that they treat their own with . however , i say - - - - you to all you bloodsucking arabs that have done nothing but leach off of our community for the longest and treat us like shit . i have no respect for you and no love . i will never shop with you again for attempting to ban and censor the truth . u will - - - - around and get banned from our community . as the last line in the song says ,
i know you think that we stupid , and u feel like we clowns , but we reserve the right to shut ya ass down ! ! ! ! !

james lists his musical influences as rakim , nas , big pun , bobby blue bland , b . b . king , maxwell and jill scott . non - musical inspirations include his grandparents , animal planet , wrestling , anime cartoons and greek mythologies . ( yes , it’s an interesting gathering . )
local hip - hop artist noa james tells us that he’s also known as “intelligent , ” “elegant” and “elephant . ” though we’re not sure on that last one—we’ve never compared indie rappers to pachyderms—we can say the rhymes james delivers are definitely smart , and they’re served in a way that’s not harsh . hey , two out of three’s not bad .
james says he’s seen the local hip - hop scene grow over the past couple years , with more colleges presenting events , clothing boutiques hosting hip - hop mixers and venues more willing to throw hip - hop shows . “even artists outside of the ie are wanting to come and make the ie a touring stop because they are now hearing about the hip - hop scene out here , ” he says .
local gigs for james have been solid , including a gig where “everyone went nuts , ” he recalls . “the owner of the spot had to stop the performance and tried to get everyone to calm down and sit back down . i was surprised that so many people knew the song and it got the reaction it did . ”
james will likely score more reaction with the release of beautiful darkness , which was recorded in san bernardino and scheduled to hit this week .

mosaic records is an american jazz record company and label established in 1982 by michael cuscuna and charlie lourie .

it produces limited-edition box sets that are available only by mail .

the sets are leased from the major record companies , usually for a three - or five-year period , with the edition limited to a specific number of copies typically 5,000 .

sometimes the complete catalog of a label would appear : the complete masters of milt gabler 's commodore records were contained in three sets consisting of some 66 lps .

in 2003 , the company initiated the select series of smaller sets , not necessarily " complete " in the usual sense .

in 2006 , the company began a third line , mosaic singles , a series dedicated to reissuing individual albums on cd that have not previously been available in us editions , or at all .

in 2009 , mosaic returned to the vinyl format with the hq vinyl series and began issuing three and four lp sets of 2,500-5,000 copies .

mosaic 's sets are primarily sold and distributed directly to customers , initially promoted through leading jazz publications , then mail order catalog , and now the internet .

the first three years of releases did not sell particularly well .

in 1986 , cuscuna reached out to a record-producing acquaintance , fred seibert , for help .

with partner alan goodman their company , fred/alan inc. in new york , devised a catalog and strategy that immediately increased sales almost tenfold and put the company on a solid footing for the first time .

mr. goodman continues to write the copy for all new release sales .

over 200 sets have now been issued by the company ( though most sets ' leases have now expired ) .

since 1998 , capitol records has owned 50 % of mosaic , and is part of the blue note label group .

• our perspective was that mosaic records is more than a bunch of wonderful box record sets , it was a inspiration of artistic and business values . the “promises” described in each and every brochure have been kept for over 30 years . now , that’s a “ brand . ”
in the late 70s fred was producing jazz records and became friendly with michael cuscuna , soon to become one of the medium’s most revered producers and the leading reissue producer in history .

in the early 1980s michael and former bluenote / columbia / warner records executive charlie lourie started the pioneering mosaic records as the first company specializing in boxed set reissues of classic performances , available only by mail order . we became reacquainted when fred ordered their first set ( the complete bluenote recordings of thelonious monk ) and michael asked fred / alan to get involved with helping them out of the hole . it turned out their ‘sure thing’ idea wasn’t having many takers and they were worried about shutting down .

( charlie lourie passed away in 2000 but his passion and respect for jazz will always be a part of all that mosaic offers . )

• of course , we helped keep mosaic in business , insuring that michael’s and charlie’s vision of exposing some of america’s greatest art throughout the world .
although mosaic records ' first release came out in july of 1983 , the seeds for the business were planted in 1970 . as a journalist , radio show host and record producer , i began coming into contact with many musicians who had been major players in blue note ' s repertory company . since blue note had always been my favorite label for its consistent quality , conversations would ultimately drift to those great days of the label .
this is dial records , complete and like you’ve never heard it before ! using the best available transfers of the label’s , steve marlowe and jonathan horwich have done an amazing job of restoring and remastering these treasures . the music is rich in sonics and free of extraneous scrunches , ticks and pops .
we consider our customers a part of our family and our main imperative is that every mosaic limited edition set be available to everyone who cares as these sets will pay dividends for a lifetime .
as we ' ve stated from the beginning , mosaic box sets are limited to a specific number of copies . rest assured , in no case do we ever manufacture more than the stated figure .
this is a sealed limited 15 l . p . box set of the complete roulette studio recordings of count basie and his orchestra . mosaic mq15 - 149 . this is number 794 of 3500 .
mosaic records , the select reissue jazz label , which launched thirty years ago this summer , is on an anonymous street in stamford , connecticut , about a half mile from the glass castles of ubs and rbs . it shares a plain white building with , among others , a lighting company , a fencing studio , and an upholsterer , but if anyone wanted to immerse themselves in what some refer to as america ' s only original art form , this street — fairfield avenue , it ' s called — would be as valuable as west 52nd or bourbon .
three years later fred / alan was doing a little better and mosaic was doing a lot worse ; michael and charlie successfully prevailed on us to finally help . we knew no more , but full of the arrogance of youth we took alan’s first generation portable computer and invented the first mosaic 12 - page brochure on our summer rental’s picnic table . alan wrote every word ( fred directed “strategy” – what else is new ? ) , our friends tom corey and scott nash designed the thing , jessica wolf supervised the production and we mailed out the first mosaic catalog ever in the autumn of 1986 .
mosaic does not own the blue note , pacific jazz , atlantic , columbia , rca , or any other catalogue . with the exception of our charlie parker - dean benedetti set ( which is not a limited edition ) , mosaic leases all of it . these leases eventually expire . so , even if we haven ' t reached our stated goal , when the lease expires the set must be discontinued .
this is a limited edition 5 lp box set of the complete serge chaloff sessions . mosaic mq5 - 147 . hand numbered 1686 of 5000 . booklet has a little spotting . box is in excellent condition .
the label — originally founded in los angeles by michael cuscuna , a noted jazz producer at atlantic and blue note , and charlie lourie , a former executive at cbs records — produces beautiful , limited - edition box sets ( cd and vinyl ) with a 12 - by - 12 - inch booklet ( that ' s actually in a readable typeface ) . its stark , now - signature black - and - white design was born out of frugality — mosaic started as a labor - of - love side project on a shoestring budget — but also of the two partners ' love of vintage jazz photos .

a series of double albums , combining unissued material with reissues , started in 1975 . it stopped and started again . the king records in japan took over the blue note lease there and contacted me about unissued material . i started a series for them . when emi assumed ownership of blue note and liberty , i convinced them to put out a series of unissued albums as the blue note classics series .
we waited for the order phones to ring , and lo and behold , in the first three weeks mosaic’s business had increased 10 fold . they were in business forever . alan’s still writing the brochures , fred’s still lobbing in ideas from the side . we’ve never been prouder of any project . so proud , in fact , that alan continues writing all new release copy , and former fred / alan cfo fred pustay is now a mosaic partner .
from 1992 onwards , fred / alan no longer existed , but alan goodman and jessica wolf continued writing and producing the following catalogs for several years . more than 30 years later , alan’s still the primary mosaic brochure writer .
mosaic is very pleased to present

finally , charlie lourie , a former jazz and classical musician and executive at cbs records , accepted the job as head of marketing for blue note in late 1974 . we met in los angeles in the spring of 1975 . i showed him my notebook , which by this time had grown to sizable proportions . he was so excited that the next morning a contract was drawn up and by afternoon , i was at last in the blue note vaults .
modern jazz quartet complete atlantic studio modern jazz quartet 1956 - 64 ( # 249 ) the modern jazz quartet was certainly one of the most distinctive voices in the history of jazz , thanks to the unique qualities of personal expression and collective vision of its members milt jackson , john lewis , percy heath and connie kay . they were also exceptionally prolific during their tenure at atlantic records , producing 14 albums in eight years . - limited edition : 5 , 000 copies

• we both ( fred and alan ) believed in fans , and always worked on projects that revolved around what is now talked about as “ fandom ” or “community . ” michael and charlie epitomized that at mosaic , and we made sure their fans were front and center in all our work for the company .
dial the complete dial modern jazz sessions ( # 260 ) as most jazz fans know , among the most important records to hear in your life are charlie parker’s dial sessions , recorded between 1946 and 1947 . but dial was way more than parker . it was a microcosm of the explosive changes happening at a moment in time . and we have everything . every master , every important alternate , and many intriguing false starts , on nine cds . the set was only previously collected in japan 20 years ago . now it’s available worldwide at last . - limited edition : 7 , 500 copies
by mid 1981 , all of the programs to issue unknown blue notes had come to an end ( again ) . by this time , i was tired of having to convince each new company president to start a jazz vault program . but i thought i would try one last time . i called charlie lourie , and we collaborated on a widespread proposal for capitol records . nothing came of the catalog , i wanted to do definitive , complete box sets that would bring out unissued material , correct mistakes on past reissues and draw a whole body of work together with a serious , deluxe , booklet .
stanley turrentine blue note stanley turrentine qt . / sxt . sessions ( # 212 ) strong , bluesy and soulful . the six blue note dates collected on our mosaic set are in a class by themselves ; they are pure hard bop with stanley turrentine sharing the front line with a horn equal to him in talent . - limited edition : 5000 copies
our artwork problems caused mosaic ' s release to be slow in coming out , our orders were slow at first because there were no reviews and because people are naturally skeptical of mail order businesses . but great reviews started to come by september of 1983 and so did orders and recognition . in fact , our monk package has been nominated for a grammy .
for the 30th anniversary , mosaic won ' t celebrate with bells and whistles , only with triumphal woodwinds and brass , specifically john coltrane ' s the complete sun ship session ( three lps , out may 21 ; two cds out now from verve , mosaic ' s partner on this project ) and the unheralded 1960s and 70s trumpeter woody shaw in the complete muse sessions ( seven cds , available next month ) . for coltrane - heads , this set is significant . it was the last recording date for the classic quartet of elvin jones , mccoy tyner , and jimmy garrison and is buttressed by all sorts of new material : alternate takes , conversations between the band members , solos edited out of the original recording , even false starts ( like we said , for coltrane - heads ) .
the nicest part of having this dream come true was the response of the musicians . i remember when i first starting producing andrew hill for freedom records . he sat in my living room and from memory gave me the complete personnel of 12 unissued blue note sessions , hoping i could get them out . once walking down broadway , i heard my name shouted form a cab . it was howard johnson asking me if i had found the hank mobley date that he told me about and if it was coming out . people like elvin jones and hank mobley would come up to me in clubs and hug my and thank me for getting albums issued . the approval and the enthusiasm of the artists who made the music was very important to me .
we turned them down two years in a row with a lot of unsolicited advice about what they could do better –our company was barely alive itself– even if we were talking through our hats . everything we knew about direct mail cataloging was from being mail order catalog customers ourselves and from a direct mail how - to book fred had read ( at least the first chapter ) . we admired what michael and charlie were trying to accomplish at mosaic , but our bandwidth was just too narrow .
bing crosby the bing crosby cbs radio recordings ( 1954 - 56 ) ( # 245 ) the 160 songs in this mosaic collection were recorded with the buddy cole quartet between 1954 and 1956 for bing’s cbs show are absolutely revelatory . crosby’s early jazz roots informed his influential career as a pop singer . to our knowledge , these are the only recorded performances of crosby singing the great american songbook in an informal atmosphere with a consummate small jazz ensemble . - limited edition : 20 , 000 copies
eddie condon eddie condon & bud freeman : complete commodore & decca sessions ( # 259 ) thanks to mosaic ' s ability to bundle collections from numerous labels and archives , we can finally present , for the first time anywhere , the complete commodore & decca eddie condon & bud freeman sessions . it ' s a substantial set - eight cds containing 199 tracks in all . the set spans the years 1938 , when chicago - style jazz first took root in new york , through 1950 . - limited edition : 5 , 000 copies
cuscuna , a self - proclaimed
vault rat ,
got the idea in the early 1980s when he discovered twenty - eight minutes of unreleased thelonious monk material from his blue note years , the pianist ' s most important phase . that box set in 1983 , the complete blue note recordings of thelonious monk , was mosaic ' s debut . the label wasn ' t successful at the outset ; it took three years before cuscuna and lourie collected a salary and by then they moved to stamford , cuscuna ' s hometown . slowly , it gained momentum . thirty years later , there have been 155 releases , about 40 of which are still in print . ( extract from that what you will , kickstarters ) .

the complete 1932 - 1940 brunswick , columbia , and master recordings of duke ellington and his famous orchestra ,
an unprecedented 11 - cd set that compiles these recordings for the first , and quite possibly the last , time . there would be many more exceptional compositions in the years following , including his highly regarded suites and longer works , but the scope of our latest , lavish mosaic collection is the period when ellington would establish himself as the most important composer ever in jazz . - limited edition : 5 , 000 copies
as lofty as jazz is often perceived , and how inside - baseball some of the mosaic box sets sound — duke ellington : 1936 - 40 small group sessions ; novus & columbia recordings of henry threadgill and air ; the complete ahmad jamal trio argo sessions — there ' s not a whiff of pretension from cuscuna or his two - person staff , fred pustay , the cfo , and scott wensel , the encyclopedic brain of the pre - bop era and who also enjoys new york rangers hockey . ( lourie passed away in 2000 . ) cuscuna himself prefers cuss words and a guttural laugh to pat market - speak ; he doesn ' t utter the word
brand ,
even if he ' s created , and sustained , quite a distinctive one .
my personal favorite is the thelonious monk collection . when the idea of mosaic was first born , my first thought was to completely delve into all of the monk sessions , in hopes of finding enough material to justify a boxed set . the first step was to find the original discs on which the sessions were recorded , wash them and then retransfer them with today ' s technology . the result was cleaner and more natural sounding tapes that really bring out the true texture and overtones of the music like no blue note album issue ever did . and those original discs were filled with some amazing alternate takes , including a most astonishing take of
well , you needn ' t
on which monk totally alters the composition . so the monk set was born . i will forever regret that it was not finished before monk died . i would have wanted him to see it .
roland kirk roland kirk : the limelight / verve albums ( 4 lps ) ( # 3006 ) these four albums were recorded at some of the finest studios in the new york city area including nola studios and capitol studios . “rip . rig and panic” and “now please don’t you cry , beautiful edith” were two of the three times that kirk recorded at the famed van gelder studio in englewood cliffs , new jersey ( the first was his one prestige album with jack mcduff ) . all four of these albums have been mastered from their original analog masters by ryan smith at sterling sound in new york city . this is the first mosaic set to be pressed at chad kassem’s quality record pressings in salinas , kansas . about the pressings coming out of qrp , michael fremer wrote on trackingangle . com , ” all i can say is this is incredible ! ! ! ! ! ! - limited edition : 3500 copies

increasingly , i would hear about tantalizing unissued sessions . soon i began writing down sketchy information from musicians about these unknown treasures in a notebook . the staggering amount of unissued material soon became evident , and i tried constantly to get into the vaults . but george butler , who had been put in charge after frank wolff ' s death , was oblivious to serious jazz and took the label into a very commercial direction . he stalled me for years .
the experience was staggering . there were far more unissued sessions than i had even imagined . the only trouble was that all of the company files were lost or missing , and the tape boxes only had the recording date and the name of the leader . so began a long odyssey to unravel this mess and shape it into a body of work that could be released .
i used every detective trick in the book . i would listen to a session . if i knew the leader or recognized the sidemen , i would call them to see what they would remember . then i ' d send them a cassette . i would also research any song copyrights registered around the time of the session to see if it i could determine the originals on the dates . some musicians like andrew hill , woody shaw , charles tolliver and howard johnson had amazingly accurate memories . i would also research musicians ' union contracts for titles and personnel .
this sounded to me like a dream that was too good to be true . i tossed these thoughts at charlie , who is a great deal more experienced , mature and practical in such matters . in a series of discussions , we looked at the realities , shaped these thoughts into finite concepts and set about making our dream come true . it took us almost one year to get clearance from emi to lease blue note masters . but that time was well spent as charlie explored all sorts of manufacturing companies to get the business structure . meanwhile i was in new york getting financing and researching the first release .
in november 1982 , the lease came in and we officially became a company . by the end of june , we had finished copies of our first release : the complete blue note recordings of thelonious monk ( mr 4 - 101 ) . the complete gerry mulligan quartet and tentette with chet baker ( mr5 - 102 ) and the complete blue note recordings of albert ammons and meade lux lewis ( mr3 - 103 ) . the thrill of getting those finished albums was indescribable on so many levels . we were finally doing it . and we had pulled off , through months of research , the first definitive job on these artists in this area .
as serious collectors and lovers of the music , charlie and i hope to assemble packages that all collectors and serious students of jazz will find valuable . that is one reason why we strive to make every set complete within its own scope . this not only brings unissued material to light , but eliminates the need the have music stretched over scattered albums of varying quality in an incoherent form that makes intelligent listening difficult . the mulligan set is a classic example . in order to have the 49 issued from our set , one would have to own 10 different albums , most of them very rare and many having duplication of tunes
our first year was filled with both problems and rewards . but we wouldn ' t have had it any other way . as for the future , in true jazz tradition , we ' re just going straight ahead .
each of our sets is a time - consuming affair to assemble from securing rights to tape research to studio mastering to the photographic , historical and discographical research for our booklets . each step is fraught with surprises and therefore it is possible that the future projects may not see the light of day . these are not yet available for preorder

edmond hall / james p . johnson * / sidney de paris / vic dickenson
edmond hall / james p . johnson * / sidney de paris / vic dickenson -
the complete edmond hall / james p . johnson / sidney de paris / vic dickenson blue note sessions
james p . johnson was one of the most important , if not the most important , stride pianists , a style that developed in new york in the 1920s and the first music that sounds like what we call jazz . it was more rhythmically complex than anything before it . more harmonically challenging . more exuberant and crafty
this set was mastered from the original analog masters . discs four and five were issued only in japan in the ‘80s and mastered from 16 - bit digital masters , so we returned to the original session reels to rebuild those albums in true analog for the first time . superior sound !
ninety recordings have never been available until this limited edition collection . with buddy cole on keyboards , plus guitar , bass , and drums , they are an ideal setting for appreciating her extraordinary voice .
the live performances from 1947 to 1958 have been collected at last , let it be known that anyone who overlooks the music louis armstrong made on those concert stages does so at great expense to his or her personal joy .
for 60 years , every top name in jazz has seemingly made it up to newport at least once , if not multiple times . louis armstrong was a fixture for many years and two of his complete sets , from the 1956 and 1958 festivals , are being released here in their entirety for the very first time .
this will certainly rekindle interest in and broaden consideration of clifford jordan’s overall career , presenting as it does some unpolished diamonds and previously unreleased gems of a late - 60s / early 70s recording .
the music that was the root of everything magical and life - affirming at the savoy ballroom - - the music of chick webb featuring his discovery , ella fitzgerald - - is still here and utterly glorious .
“there’s a great trumpet player… he can play different from all of them .
– miles davis
“almost all of the recordings hawkins made throughout a 45 year period were outstanding examples of improvisation , but among them were masterpieces by which all jazz tenor saxophone solos will forever be judged . ”
while “slightly latin” and “now please don’t cry , beautiful edith” are excellent albums , “spirits” and “rip , rig and panic” were two of roland’s proudest moments in a recording studio and remains two peaks among his many achievements .
sun ship , recorded august 26 , 1965 , captures one of the last sessions by the classic john coltrane quartet ( coltrane , mccoy tyner , jimmy garrison and elvin jones ) . it comes at the culmination of a year in which coltrane arguably reached his creative peak , a year rich in such masterworks .
- david wild , liner notes
brown’s solos , which marry the technical mastery of dizzy gillespie , the melodic flow and big sound of fats navarro , and a determined optimism all brown’s own , became touchstones for a generation of young trumpeters ; but roach’s contributions are equally important and made a similar impact .
- bob blumenthal , liner notes
it’s the 4th of july once again , and along with the fireworks , bbq and marching bands , there is of course louis armstrong , who believed his birthday to be july 4 , 1900 . here is the story behind finding the real birthdate of pops .
enliven your 4th of july with the music of louis armstrong , broadcast all day on wkcr , 89 . 9 fm in the new york area , and streaming live at urltoken . go here for more info .
here is a great article on saxophone doctor perry ritter by corey kilgannon for the new york times . having tried unsuccessfully to master the instrument many decades ago , i love the sound of the horn in all its sizes and marvel at the range of tones that artists achieve in their quest for their own sound . i also think the tenor saxophone is one of the most exquisite sculptures in the world .
in case you wanted to know what benny goodman felt were the 60 greatest jazz albums of all time ( at least when he was asked this in 1961 ) , here it is . i guess he hadn’t dug coltrane just yet .
this is max roach’s 1960 pianoless quintet with tommy and stanley turrentine , julian priester and bob boswell during a paris concert . it great to see and hear this band in performance , but max’s drums are almost non - existent in the mix .
david adler contributed this essay to wbgo’s website . charles mingus’s career was one of many milestones and tragedies . the album tijuana moods was both . the brilliant album was recorded in 1957 but sat in rca victor’s vaults until 1962 , when it became a critical hit . it has become one of mingus’s most influential albums , conceptually and compositionally . charles was born and raised in the border town of nogales , arizona , and his roots have taken on new relevance with the border tensions that have spread throughout america . the mingus dynasty performed the music from this album in tijuana on january 21st and then toured the southwest . music is , indeed , the healing force of the universe .
this extensive jazzprofiles column pulls from many sources and covers just about everything you should know about one of the most famous underrated artists in jazz : zoot sims . zoot also had the driest wit , with famous lines like “stan getz is an interesting bunch of guys . ”
dr . david schroeder sat john mclaughlin down for a fabulous one - hour interview in 2016 , as part of the nyu steinhardt jazz studies series . mclaughlin is a gracious and articulate human being who has had a wide - ranging career over the last 50 years .
in the ‘50s , shorty rogers was successful , ubiquitous and popular . by the mid ‘60s , his star had faded , though a growing appreciative public began to build in england and europe . journalist steve voce urged him to come to europe , where a second career phase began for shorty . voce’s 1982 interview with rogers for jazz journal is reprinted in jazz profiles .

dorthaan kirk is an amazing lady , who stood behind rahsaan roland kirk with love during the hardest years of his life and who helped build wbgo in newark and promote jazz in general like an unstoppable force of nature . this interview with david cruz sheds light on this remarkable woman .
with the passing of lorraine gordon , we lost another colorful fixture on the new york jazz scene . lorraine often put on a grouchy façade and enjoyed people’s reaction to it . she was dramatically different from her late husband max , the gentle , bemused founder of the village vanguard in the ‘30s . but when we lost max , lorraine jumped in and kept this institution alive . ethan iverson recounts his experiences at this jazz mecca .
al jackson from tremé in new orleans discovered that the homeless who were invited to sleep at the black musician’s union hall were sleeping on some very historical pillows .
pitchfork revisits miles davis’s get up with it with rich background on what was going on miles’s life at the time . like its predecessor big fun . this double lp was not so much an album as a collection of music recorded over a two - year period .
another quick glimpse into the transfer process at battery studios during our work on the teddy wilson set . michael brooks , producer for columbia producer , joins matt cavaluzzo and myself as we hear for the first time a previously unissued performance on our newly released wilson set .
the office is a mess , and a delightful one , part museum — there are francis wolff photos of art blakey , and john coltrane with lee morgan — part library , part man cave , and part ( relatively ) thriving business .
the label does virtually no retail business , nor do they sell through amazon or make the music available through downloads . almost all of its sales come through its website ; they ' ve recently come to twitter . it was boutique before boutique , curatorial before everyone in brooklyn was a curator .
it ' s been a dream come true ,
says cuscuna , a reddish - gray bearded man in his sixties , below a painting of jimmy smith ' s midnight special , the famous blue note cover .
cuscuna , in addition to unearthing new material —
because if it ' s not issued , it really doesn ' t exist
— is keen on recording dates and re - establishing their order to present a chronological artistic narrative . repair jobs , he calls them , before he self - edits himself and says ,
no , rescue missions .
cuscuna credits the new york times , the wall street journal , and npr —
without them we ' d be out of business
— for the label ' s staying power , and , of course , the fans , which he says is a range .
there are lots of kids in there twenties who are starting to develop their jazz collections ,
he says .
so you get the novices and dabblers as well as the obsessed lunatics — and make sure that you put that i ' m one of them .
