Blues for Vita provides listeners with an outstanding eight-selection presentation that is a modernized throwback to the days when tenor-trumpet quintets such as Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, Lee Morgan's, and Cannonball Adderley's ensembles were the mainstays of jazz labels such as Riverside, Columbia, and Blue Note. The album offers a well-produced mix of straight-ahead, boogaloo, and Latin-flavors from five terrific Paul Carlon originals, two Broadway musical grabs, and a Larry Willis tune made most famous by Woody Shaw on his Rosewood CD (Columbia, 1978).

For ezz-thetics' revisited series' fourth Ornette Coleman album, the label has ventured back further than any of its previous Coleman albums, to New York City in December 1960 and January 1961. Recorded at A&R Studios on Wednesday December 21st 1960 from 8pm to 12.30am, the Free Jazz session produced two pieces, the thirty-seven minute "Free Jazz" itself, which was issued in September 1961 on an Atlantic album entitled Free Jazz: A Collective Improvisation By The Ornette Coleman Double Quartet, and the seventeen minute "First Take" which was issued on the Atlantic album Twins in 1971. The latter is not included on this album.

Once the vinyl renaissance proved the adage that "there is gold in them there hills," labels began scouring their vaults to put out an ongoing stream of products. Owning the rights to over 1.2 million songs, Concord Records was perfectly poised to take advantage of a huge cash cow through vinyl reissues. Their Craft Recordings subsidiary has been a model of not only bringing out worthwhile material but doing it in a manner that ensures high quality and a reasonable price.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, recently introduced a six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie who is looking for her forever home. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, has recently introduced a tiny 8lb dog named Bingo who is looking for her forever home. Bingo is a 3-year-old Shih Tzu mix with an adorable appearance and a sweet disposition.

If discovery is an element, and most certainly it is if one is an adventurous listener, uncovering new talent motivates your listening habits. With a release like Integration!, the exploration is nearly effortless. For those not yet familiar with the label Jersika Records, the album is a Latvian production under the careful guidance of its chief Mareks Ameriks. For the technical nerds out there, Integration! was captured on analog reel-to-reel tape using a Studer B 67 ¼" two-track tape recorder without editing or overdubbing. The vinyl was cut directly from the original masters on a Neumann VMS70 cutting lathe using a Neumann SX74 cutting head. Translated for the rest of us, the vinyl LP has extraordinarily good sound.
