Blue Note Vinilo y CD

Review: 'Little Johnny C' was originally a track that caught the attention of Alfred Lion who saw Johnny Coles performing it and love it so much that he arranged a Blue Note recording session with Coles as the leader. He turned up with five of his own tunes that showcased his skills such as 'Heavy Legs' and 'My Secret Passion' as well as the more tender sounds of 'So Sweet My Little Girl.' He was joined by five other dynamic musicians next to his own work on piano with Joe Henderson on tenor saxophone, Leo Wright on alto saxophone and flute and Bob Cranshaw on bass amongst others.

Review: American jazz tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon was one of the most influential early bebop musicians alongside the likes of Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker. His 1962 album Go on Blue Note was not actually recorded in a club, but in a fashion in the studio that replicated that informal environment. The legendary Rudy Van Gelder oversaw proceedings at his Van Gelder Studio and had Sonny Clark on piano, Butch Warren on Bass and Billy Higgins on drums. Next to tunes Dexter wrote himself are covers of Cole Porter's 'Love For Sale' amongst other highlights.
