Hard Bop ART BLAKEYāS JAZZ MESSENGERS Impex Records
Some of the greatest jazz musicians of all time have passed through Art Blakeyās Jazz Messengers: Horace Silver, Hank Mobley, Kenny Dorham, Wayne Shorter, and Donald Byrd, among many others. However brief their stay, working with the demanding and full-throttle drummer not only increased their visibility, but also their chops and interprative capacity. Blakeyās ability to drum up the best players in the game may have even eclipsed his superhuman ability to play drums.

Jefferson Airplane – Volunteers 180g 45RPM 2 LP MOFI Vinyl
Seminal 1969 Album Steeped in Revolution, Vitality, Protest: The Aural Equivalent of a Demonstration March
Awash in controversy and loaded with revolutionary protest, Jefferson Airplane's Volunteers stands as the last album made by the group's classic lineup and brings insurgent closure to the peace-and-love era. The potent 1969 record confronts war, politics, greed, and environmental ruin in head-on fashion matched by few peers. Steeped in the belief people and music could transform the world, it steers the band in community-minded and county-rock directions, and features charged playing by guest luminaries such as Jerry Garcia, Stephen Stills, David Crosby, and Nicky Hopkins. Volunteers also benefits from being one of the first 16-track recordings. And now, the historic set can be heard in the fidelity the artists and producers intended.Dave Brubeck – Dave Digs Disney 180g Vinyl (Mono Version)
