New releases from Impulse
Impulse recently announced the next two titles in its Verve Vault series, to be released in March. After eight previously released titles, including Antonio Carlos Jobim’s sublime The Composer Of Desafinado, Plays, the label will release Elevation (1974) by legendary saxophonist Pharoah Sanders, in which he expands his vision of spiritual jazz in an album recorded during two concerts and a studio session that strikes a balance between ecstatic expression and concentrated interaction between the musicians.
The other release is Gábor Szabó’s Spellbinder (1966), which introduced the Hungarian guitarist to a wider American audience with a hypnotic blend of powerful grooves and modal jazz, Eastern European folk influences, and pop textures typical of the 1960s. Both vinyl records are already available for pre-order.
New releases from Craft
Craft Recordings continues to add to its famous Jazz Dispensary series with the release of a post-bop classic, Joe Henderson’s cult album Tetragon. Mastered from analog tapes, this is the album on which Henderson continued to develop his sound in the field of post-bop before venturing into spiritual jazz. He is accompanied by a world-class ensemble including Ron Carter, Jack DeJohnette, Kenny Barron, Louis Hayes, and Don Friedman. Needless to say, we can’t wait to hear these gems on our turntables.
