Thelonious Monk - 'Live at the It Club'


'Live at the It Club' was recorded on October 31 and November 1, 1964, at the "It" Club in Los Angeles, California.  The album was produced by Teo Macero, and posthumously released on the Columbia Records label in 1982 as a 2LP set.

This is Monk's mid-60s quartet with Charlie Rouse on tenor saxophone, Larry Gales on bass, and Ben Riley on drums at the absolute peak of their onstage chemistry. 
The interplay between Monk and Charlie Rouse stands out as a high point.

Monk sounded like a mid '60s jazz pianist in the '40s.  In 1964, he was still ahead of the curve.  'Live at the It Club' is freewheeling, carefree, fun, and like all Monk, it's just so damn entertaining.

Santana - 'Amigos' (2026 Remaster)



'Amigos' was recorded in late 1975 and early 1976 at the Wally Heider Studios in San Francisco, California.  It was produced and engineered by David Rubinson and Fred Catero, and released on the Columbia Records label on March 26, 1976.

Columbia Records president Walter Yetnikoff, determined to secure a hit record, strategically recruited the production team of David Rubinson and Fred Catero to steer the band’s musical direction away from experimental jazz-rock fusion and towards a more cohesive, rhythm-driven, and classic Santana Latin/funk/rock sound.  This calculated move led to a commercial resurgence for the band, marking their first entry into the Billboard Top 10 since 1972.  However, it’s important to note that ‘Amigos’ is not exactly what one would describe as a commercial pop/rock album.

These sessions marked the highly anticipated introduction of a new lead vocalist, Greg Walker, who would also contribute vocals on 'Inner Secrets' and 'Moonflower'.  Additionally, these sessions would signify the end of an era, as they would be the final studio recordings of original bassist David Brown, who was the last surviving member of the band’s iconic 1969 Woodstock lineup to leave the group. 

 Also on the album are Tom Coster on Keyboards, Leon "Ndugu" Chancler on Drums & Percussion, and last but certainly not least the legendary Armando Peraza on Congas & Bongos, Armondo also sings the lead vocals on the track "Gitano".

Producer David Rubinson, also brought in three prominent session vocalists, Ivory Stone, Julia Tillman and Maxine Willard Waters to fill out the arrangements, which I'm led to believe was done in post-production.


Carlos in 1975

Carlos’s guitar throughout this album is as usual, pretty spectacular.

The freeload is the CD layer of the limited edition remastered hybrid SACD. This reissue was released on July 8, 2026, by Sony Music Japan. The sonics sound sweet.

Howlin' Wolf (2026 Acoustic Sounds Remaster)

 


'Howlin' Wolf' a.k.a. 'The Rockin' Chair Album' was released in 1962 on the Chess Records label.  The record is not a studio album recorded in a single block, but a compilation of 12 singles that Wolf recorded between 1957 and 1961.  

Willie Dixon took credit for the bulk of the songwriting, played double bass, and produced the sessions.  There are contributions from other blues legends including Otis Spann, Buddy Guy, Sam Lay, Jimmy Rogers, and Hubert Sumlin, who delivers that sharp, jagged, and heavily distorted electric guitar riffs that defined Wolf's sound.  Then there's Wolf's himself, whose singing, rhythm guitar and harmonica are as always a force of nature.

'The Rockin' Chair Album' is one of is without doubt one of the most influential electric blues albums of all time.  It features the definitive bridge between Delta acoustic blues and the high-energy electrified rock explosion of the 1960s; 
molding the future of rock and roll



This album belongs in every serious music collection.  If you already have it, upgrade to this version.  You won't be sorry!

The freeload is 24-bit/192 kHz (180-gram) vinyl rip of the Chess Acoustic Sounds Series, released on Jul 24, 2026.

Freddie Hubbard - 'Straight Life'


'Straight Life' was recorded on November 16, 1970, at Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey.  It was engineered Rudy Van Gelder, produced by Creed Taylor, and released on the CTI records label in January 1971.

It's hard to believe this album was recorded in a single session, but the band assembled for 'Straight Life' pretty much explains why: Joe Henderson on sax, George Benson on guitar, Herbie Hancock on piano/keyboards, Ron Carter on bass, and Jack DeJohnette on drums.

Almost everyone that plays on this album had recorded with Miles Davis at some time or another, and Freddie Hubbard ended up with a monster of an album in incorporating all that talent into one group.

Unlike many slicker CTI productions of the era, 'Straight Life' relies on an unvarnished, high-energy jam-session feel across just three distinct tracks:


1. "Straight Life" was written by Freddie Hubbard.  At seventeen-minutes plus, it took up the first side of the original LP.  This is a high-energy, fast-paced track, with 
all the musicians in top form and turn in inspired solos, especially the spectacular saxophone work from Joe Henderson and George Benson's guitar.

2. "Mr. Clean" is a deep, funk-driven groove written by Weldon Irvine (also worth checking out is Weldon's own version from his album 'Liberated Brother').  Freddie's playing throughout this song is fluid and fiery and continues the rapid fire soloing and mood of track one.

3. "Here’s That Rainy Day"is a melancholic ballad penned by Jimmy Van Heusen and Johnny Burke, has become an American Songbook staple.  This rendition is a sublime duet between Freddie and George Benson.

'Straight Life' is of the finest soul/funk-influenced jazz fusion albums, you'll ever hear.

The freeload is a sweet sounding 24bit/192kHz 180g vinyl rip of a CTI reissue from 2016.  

As an added bonus, I'm adding the aforementioned 
Weldon Irvine's long out of print classic, 'Liberated Brother' from 1972.  If you are unfamiliar with Weldon Irvine a.k.a. "Master Wel", he is more than worth your time.

Jethro Tull - Aqualung (Steven Wilson Stereo Remix)

 

In 1971, the music industry witnessed the release of some of the most iconic and influential pop/rock albums of all time.  Among them are Imagine, Pearl, Sticky Fingers, Who’s Next, Tupelo Honey, Surf’s Up, Fragile, Led Zeppelin (IV, "Zoso" whatever you call it), Muswell Hillbillies, Tapestry, What’s Going On?, and Madman Across the Water.  These albums, along with today's freeload, Aqualung, represent a remarkable output for a mere twelve months.

'Aqualung' was recorded between December 1970 and February 1971 at Island Studios in London. It was produced by Ian Anderson and Terry Ellis, and released on the Chrysalis Records label on March 19, 1971.

The album is generally regarded as the pinnacle of Jethro Tull’s recorded output, front-man Ian Anderson’s songwriting, and its eclectic fusion of progressive rock, hard rock riffs, and acoustic folk melodies.  
Songs such as "My God", "Hymn 43", "Locomotive Breath", "Cross-Eyed Mary", "Wind Up" and of course the title track "Aqualung" became FM radio staples and are in-demand concert favorites to this day.

Jethro Tull
Ian Anderson - Lead vocals, flute, acoustic guitar
Martin Barre - Electric guitar, descant recorder
John Evan - Piano, organ, Mellotron
Jeffrey Hammond-Hammond - Bass guitar, alto recorder, odd voices
Clive Bunker - Drums and percussion

4. Locomotive Breath
5. Wind-Up

The freeload is a 24bit/96kHz vinyl rip of the 2011 Steven Wilson Remix.
As Steve himself tells it:
"As a long term fan of this music, my aim when remixing a classic album like this is to be faithful to the original, and to stay absolutely true to the spirit of the era in which the music was made.  Some cleaning up has been done, but only to the extent that it had zero impact on the audio (after all, a little bit of analogue tape hiss is part of the magic!) No attempt was made to "modernise" the mix, and to this end most of the equalisation, volume levels (and rides), stereo positioning, reverbs, echos and other effects processing are matched as closely as possible to the 1971 mix. The only exceptions to this are that we have brought some instruments in a little from extreme left or right in the stereo specgtrum, and a few details that may have been getting a little lost in the original mix have been given a lift in the new version."


Also included in the freeload will be a bonus surprise mystery freeload of another classic Jethro Tull album. What will it be? The suspense just might kill you.

Etta James - 'Tell Mama' (2026 Acoustic Sounds Remaster)

 


'Tell Mama' was recorded at FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama between August 22, and December 6, 1967.  It was produced by Rick Hall, and released in February 1968 by Cadet Records subsidiary of the Chess label.

Etta had spent recent times detoxing at the USC County Hospital and also had spells at Sybil Brand, the women’s prison in Los Angeles, for drugs offenses. Amid such turmoil, no one, not even Etta James, could have predicted that she was on the verge of recording 'Tell Mama', one of the finest soul albums of the 60s.

As the summer of 1967 approached, things did not look auspicious for 29-year-old
.  In August, she arrived in Muscle Shoals, and in her words "I had tons of confusion and anger stored up inside...and ready to blow the doors off the studio."

In FAME Studios (where deep-fried Southern soul was the order of the day in '67)
Rick Hall brought in his core "Swampers" rhythm section of Jimmy Ray Johnson and Albert "Junior" Lowe on guitar, Roger Hawkins on drums, Barry Beckett and Spooner Oldham on keyboards and David Hood on bass.  He also brought in a brass section of Gene "Bowlegs" Miller on trumpet, James Mitchell and Aaron Varnell on saxophone, and Floyd Newman on baritone saxophone.


The longest song on 'Tell Mama' lasts two minutes and thirty-four seconds.  Obviously, it’s a compilation of attempts to get an AM radio hit, like all R&B LPs were in those pre 'What’s Going On?', 'Music Of My Mind', and 'Dance To The Music' days.  

The record shouldn’t be a masterpiece, but Etta James made it one. She idolized Billie Holiday and learned from her that the deepest sadness and greatest despair could be found in the silliest, most cheerfully inane songs.  The pain’s in the singer, not the song. No one who listens to 'Tell Mama' could think that Etta, singing with such terrible heartbroken rage is really singing about mothers-in-law and dancing on Saturday night.

There's not a track on "Tell Mama" that isn't worthwhile, but the highest points are the propulsive, brass-heavy title song (a gender-shifting remake of Clarence Carter's "Tell Daddy") and the unfathomably deep "I'd Rather Go Blind." Though its single release exiled it to the B-side of "Tell Mama," this is clearly Etta's finest moment. The guitar intro immediately whets the listener's appetite. Once Etta comes in with "Something told me it was over when I saw you and her talking," it's time to dim the lights and immerse yourself in the depths of her despair.

When released the album successfully revived her career and marked her return to the Billboard 200 chart for the first time since 1964.

Etta James went on to make many more fine recordings, but none surpass "Tell Mama" for sheer quality.

Today's freeload is 24-bit/192 kHz (180-gram) vinyl rip of the Chess Acoustic Sounds Series, released this past March.  This is the best 'Tell Mama' has ever sounded.

Lester Young, Roy Eldridge and Harry Edison - 'Laughin’ To Keep From Cryin'

 


Laughin’ To Keep From Cryin' was recorded on February 8, 1958, 

at Fine Sound Studios in Manhattan.  It was produced by Norman Granz, engineered by Robert Fine, and released on Norman's Verve Records label in the summer of 1958.

This is great little Verve session from the late 50s, and one that Norman Granz did so well at the time – taking some top-shelf musicians into the studio, and providing them with ample studio space to explore their musical abilities and engage in solos that were previously unattainable during the earlier era of jazz on 78-rpm records.

This album blends small-group swing with an introspective, relaxed atmosphere. Roy "Little Jazz" Eldridge on trumpet brings a fiery drive while Harry "Sweets" Edison also on trumpet contributes a smooth, bluesy restraint, using muted horns so as not to overpower a softer-toned Lester "Prez" Young.  This is a master class in differences in phrasing and tone.  The rhythm section is Hank Jones on piano, Herb Ellis on guitar, George Duvivier on bass and Mickey Sheen on drums, whom are all jazz heavy weights, in their own right.

A major talking point of the record is Lester Young's return to the metal clarinet [something he hadn't done in years! - Ed.], on the first two tracks, "Salute to Benny" (a tip of the hat to Benny Goodman) and "They Can't Take That Away from Me", which was Side A of the original album's release.  Sadly, the album captures "Prez" just 13 months before his death in March 1959.  Some critics and fans often debate the overall technical strength of the date due to Young's fading physical health and weakened wind.  Be that as it may, to me this session remains an emotionally resonant musical conversation among the three jazz legends.

As I previously mentioned, this album was recorded at Fine Sound Studios which was located in the Great Northern Hotel (owned by world heavyweight champion, Jack Dempsey) on West 57th Street here in Manhattan.  The studio was in a former ballroom that had been converted into a recording studio.  

Studio owner/engineer Robert Fine, was vital to Verve's crisp high-fidelity acoustic output.  In many ways Robert Fine was to Verve, what Rudy Van Gelder was to Blue Note.  Robert is an unsung hero in Jazz.


The freeload is a reissue from 2000, as part of Verve Record's Master Edition CD series.  This series is known for its meticulous restoration of the original master tapes, in a high resolution, 96 kHz, 24-bit digital transfer.  Track 6 (Ballad Medley: "The Very Thought Of You"/"I Want A Little Girl"/"Blue And Sentimental") and track 7 ("Mean To Me") are bonus tracks from the original CD issue: 'The Complete Lester Young Studio Sessions On Verve'.

Nina Simone and Gregg Allman





 What's the connection you ask?



The cover of Nina's 'Little Girl Blue' was taken in Manhattan's Central Park in 1959, near Central Park South (59th Street).



That exact spot brings back a very cool memory.  So let’s take a trip down memory lane to 1974.  My husband Jerry and I along with Denise "The Grease" and her then boyfriend "Little Benny", went to Carnegie Hall to see Gregg Allman.

Inside Carnegie Hall waiting for the show to start the people next to us lit a joint and passed it to us, "The Grease" sparked one up, and we passed it to them, and we started talking.  Jerry had a bottle Jack Daniel’s he smuggled in, and we shared it all round.  They were very nice people and told us there was going to an after party in Central Park at midnight at the benches by the duck pond that faces the bridge.  This was a popular spot I knew well, and five-minute or so walk from Carnegie Hall on West 57th Street. 



I should point out, unlike today, Central Park in 1974 reflected the severe economic and fiscal crises of New York City.  It was unkempt, graffiti was everywhere, heroin was 
openly sold, it became even more dangerous after dark and the NYPD didn’t bother patrolling it.



After Gregg’s show we went to nearby bar, to kill time before the after party.  When arrived at the party it was underway, there were cans of beer in coolers, a constant stream of joints being passed around, someone even brought a charcoal grill and was cooking hotdogs and hamburgers.  The festivities went on till around 3AM.  These were the very last days of "Hippie New York".  Every time I see Nina Simone’s 'Little Girl Blue' I think back to that night.




'Little Girl Blue' (subtitled Jazz as Played in an Exclusive Side Street Club) is Nina's 1959 debut album.  Recorded in late 1957 for the Bethlehem Records label, the album beautifully showcases her distinctive blend of classical piano technique, jazz improvisation, and soulful vocal phrasing.  It includes her first major chart hit, "I Loves You, Porgy", along with the timeless classic "My Baby Just Cares For Me".

The freeload is a 24bit/174.4kHz SACD rip of the Analogue Productions reissue from 2015



Little did we know that night at Carnegie Hall, the show was recorded, and parts of it would be released as 'The Gregg Allman Tour' later in 1974.

For this tour, Gregg Allman deviated from the usual Allman Brothers Band lineup.  He was accompanied by a 24-piece orchestra, along with the band Cowboy, a Capricorn label-mate who had been a personal favorite of his late brother, Duane Allman.

Originally released as a double LP, the album blends Southern rock, Blues, R&B, honky-tonk, and Gospel music.

The freeload is a sweet sounding, remastered limited edition SHM-CD, that was reissued for the Japanese domestic market (a "JDM" to music collectors) in 2008.

If Nina and Gregg made an album together, I'll bet it would have been a pretty cool Jazzy Bluesy affair.

For the freeload name a male and female artist 
living or deceased, who you think should or should have collaborated on an album.

'Bo Diddley' (2026 Acoustic Sounds Remaster)

Bo Diddley’s self-titled debut album, released in 1958 on The Chess Records label, is a compilation of singles recorded between 1955 and 1958.

This album is an even dozen of Bo Diddley's greatest recordings.  There are songs about the man himself on "Diddley Daddy" and "Hey! Bo Diddley", an atypical exercise in credit-sharing on "Bring it to Jerome", some straight-up Chicago blues on "I'm a Man,", "Before You Accuse Me"and "Say Boss Man", the first rock 'n' roll song with more or less psychedelic lyrics on "Who Do You Love?", the guttural growls of "Dearest Darling," and the outright sexism of "Hush Your Mouth" and "Pretty Thing."

Bo Diddley didn’t invent his signature beat; it’s an ancient African rhythm that had been used in American music for at least a decade before Bo transformed it into his own.  He became synonymous with this rhythm because most of his best songs feature it, and the entire rock world adopted it to some extent due to these songs. 

Without Bo’s early singles, a significant portion of rock music wouldn’t exist.


The so-called "Bo Diddley Beat" (a two-measure syncopated feel often counted as shave-and-a-haircut, two-bits, or mathematically as a 3-2 clave accent profile), was also the forerunner of disco, funk, hip-hop, house, techno, and every other beat-crazed genre that has dominated U.S. popular music since the middle 1970s.  Bo's penchant for naming songs after himself has paved the way for countless rappers.

Bo Diddley's influence is immeasurable.


Ellas Otha Bates a.k.a. "Bo Diddley" let Elvis be the King, Little Richard be the Queen, and Jerry Lee Lewis and Chuck Berry be prancing princes looking for underage "skirts".  Bo didn't give a flying squirrel he namechecked himself in his songs all he wanted to — he knew he was the man.

Miles ’56: The Prestige Recordings

 My cataract surgery went well, and my eye is healing nicely.  I want to express my deepest gratitude to everyone for their heartfelt wishes and support.



The 2026 Newport Jazz Festival was a blast — so many great acts, so much great music.  
As always, Newport blended tradition with innovation, as the festival's headliner, Herbie Hancock was a living testament to.



At the1955 Newport Jazz Festival Miles Davis (who was not even listed in the official festival program), played a 23-minute set with an ad-hoc group featuring Thelonious Monk on piano, Gerry Mulligan on baritone saxophone, Zoot Sims on tenor saxophone, Percy Heath on bass, and Connie Kay on drums.  They were introduced by Newport Jazz Festival founder George Wein as 'The Miles Davis All-Stars'.


The unexpected brilliance of Miles' performance caught the jazz world and music critics completely off-guard. Columbia Records producer George Avakian was so impressed that he got Miles' a recording contract with Columbia Records and secured him with a $4,000 advance, which adjusted for inflation would be worth around
$50k in 2026.

Just one problem, Miles' still owed Bob Weinstock’s indie jazz label Prestige Records four albums, so his new Columbia recordings were held until that contract ended, leading to his iconic label debut, 'Round About Midnight'.  

To fulfill his Prestige contract Miles put together a group consisting of Red Garland on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, "Philly Joe" Jones on drums, and a not well known John Coltrane who was recommended to Miles by "Philly Joe".  This lineup would go on to be known as the "First Great Quintet".


Miles Davis and his 
quintet entered Rudy Van Gelder’s studio for two intense marathon sessions in May and October 1956.  There was little preparation beforehand. Miles treated both sessions as if he were playing a gig, calling out the song titles and counting in the band.  They quickly went from one song to another without any fuss or second takes, and they recorded enough material for four albums.

These recordings were eventually sequenced by Bob Weinstock into four different albums:



"Cookin' with the Miles Davis Quintet" released in 1957


'Relaxin' with the Miles Davis Quintet released in 1958



"Workin' with the Miles Davis Quintet" released in 1959



"Steamin' with the Miles Davis Quintet" released in 1961 

This set also has a few tracks featuring Sonny Rollins, that would be released on the Prestige album, 'Collector's Items'.

Today's freeload, 'Miles ’56: The Prestige Recordings' was released on June 19, 2026, by Craft Recordings, as a limited-edition 4-LP, a 3-CD box set and a 24bit/192kHz digital album.

The sound quality on this set is in a word: superlative, and is without doubt the best I've ever heard these recordings sound.  It was mastered from the original analog tapes by Grammy-winner Paul Blakemore and restored using Plangent Processes (see below) alongside lacquers cut by Kevin Gray.  The result is pristine audio clarity, vivid instrument presence, and a robust, warm low-end "thump".


The Plangent Process, an analog-to-digital audio transfer and restoration technology developed by Jamie Howarth, addresses tape transport speed errors like wow, flutter, and scrape flutter.  It achieves this by capturing the ultrasonic bias tone recorded on the original magnetic tape and utilizing it as a timing reference to stabilize pitch and clarity.

I do have one minor quibble, this set is in chronological order.  I would have much preferred them as the individual albums the way they were released, as the running order of "Cookin'", "Relaxin'", "Workin'", and "Steamin'" are entrenched in my psyche.

On June 19th, UPS delivered a box to the Button Factory containing promotional versions of the 4-LP, and the 3-CD box set.  Also in the box was an envelope with card that read "With the compliments of Craft Recordings" (I have low friends in high places).  In the envelope was also a card with a code to get the 24bit/192kHz digital album, which will be today's freeload.  If 
Cookin', Relaxin', Workin', and Steamin' are deeply entrenched in your psyche, do what I did, and re-tag the files.

For the freeload, let's do another "Ask Babs".  Ask me anything (tasteful), and I'll answer your questions.

I'm Taking A Short Break






Another summer, another Newport Jazz Festival.  This will be my 50th Newport weekend.  Back in 1975, a group of friends my husband Jerry and I knew from the Manhattan Jazz clubs and after-hours jam session joints decided to go to the 1975 Newport Jazz Festival together.  At the time we all lived in Greenwich Village and we called ourselves "The Lucky Thirteen."  We’ve been going to Newport every summer since (except for 2020, which was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic).  In 2026, we’re down to six members.

 
On Thursday, August 6th, I'm having cataract surgery.




I'll be back to posting, sometime during the week of August 9th to the 15th, depending on how it all goes.


So here's something to keep you busy in my absence.  


'The Complete Live at the Plugged Nickel 1965' is an 8CD set that was recorded on December 22 and 23, 1965, at the Plugged Nickel nightclub in Chicago.  Teo Macero produced the original sessions, Buddy Graham and Frank Bruno were the recording engineers.  It was released July 18, 1995, on the Columbia/Legacy Records label. Michael Cuscuna produced the reissue.

This is Miles' "Second Great Quintet" with Wayne Shorter on tenor saxophone, Herbie Hancock on piano, Ron Carter on bass, and Tony Williams on drums.  [This is my all-time favorite group of any genre - Ed]

These eight CDs capture seven sets 
of music spread across 39 tracks for over seven and a half hours of music.  Don't let the repeating song titles fool you, no two performances sound even remotely alike.  There is sublime creativity on display here, and is a master class in the art of improvisation.

Play this LOUD, close your eyes, and you'll be right in the middle of Plugged Nickel in 1965.
