Jazz is an album by saxophonist John Handy III featuring tracks recorded in 1962 and originally released on the Roulette label.

Blue Flames is a collaboration album by organist Shirley Scott and saxophonist Stanley Turrentine recorded in 1964 and released on the Prestige label. Scott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars stating "All of the many collaborations between organist Shirley Scott and tenor saxophonist Stanley Turrentine in the 1960s resulted in high-quality soul jazz, groovin' music that was boppish enough to interest jazz listeners and basic enough for a wider audience" - Wikipedia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuqPKhuS7hQ&list=RDCuqPKhuS7hQ&start_radio=1 #ShirleyScott #StanleyTurrentine #HardBop #soulJazz #PrestigeRecords #Jazz #Music

Spring Fever by The Jazz Brothers feat. Chuck Mangione, Gap Mangione, Sal Nistico released on Riverside in 1961. From The Liner Notes: "The mode of expression for The Jazz Brothers is a modern, hard-swinging one, tempered by softer (but no less swinging) performances. The former vein is exemplified by Chuck Mangiones Brooks Brothers (a punning reference to an up-state New York disc jockey) and Spring Fever, and by Frank Pullaras Not Too Serious. The quietest moments are found on the celebrated standard ballad, What's New?, which contains a long, expressive Nestico solo, sandwiched by some sensitive muted work by Chuck..." https://www.mangionemagic.com/spring-fever.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTJjLDuiyUM&list=RDjTJjLDuiyUM&start_radio=1 #JazzBrothers #ChuckMangione #GapMangione #RiversideRecords #Jazz #HardBop #Music #SalNistico

Iberian Waltz by Sadao Watanabe & Charlie Mariano, released on Columbia as part of their Takt Jazz Series in 1969.

Soul Stirrin' is an album by American trombonist Bennie Green, recorded on April 28, 1958, and released on Blue Note later that year. Marc Davis of All About Jazz wrote, "This is a bluesy, almost pre-bop record... Soul Stirrin' is an unexpected pleasure from a jazz man who is largely forgotten. Now that I've discovered Bennie Green, I want to hear more." - Wikipedia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQcIGdqmSUk&list=PLyHn3f7-9IUJytpLkuf23PTYGlZwtzoUY&index=1 #BennieGreen #BlueNote #HardBop #Trombone #GeneAmmons #ElvinJones #Jazz #Music #BabsGonzales

European Jazz Sounds by Michael Naura Quintet, released on Brunswick in 1963. One of the greatest albums of European jazz from the early 60s -- a tremendous effort from pianist Michael Naura, working here with lots of vibes and a fair bit of grooves -- in a style that sounds a lot like some of the best early recordings made by the team of Roy Ayers and Jack Wilson! The groove here is definitely modern, but also plenty darn soulful too -- and thanks to some alto sax in the mix, the tracks have a cutting quality that really gives them an edge -- a kind of rasp that predates some of the late 60s soulfulness of the Saba/MPS scene, of which this album is a definite precursor! Alongside Naura's piano, the group also features vibes by Wolfgang Schluter, alto sax by Peter Reinke, bass by Wolfgang Luschert, and drums by the great Joe Nay - Dusty Groove https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3qGJ7z-Ii4&list=RDt3qGJ7z-Ii4&start_radio=1 #HardBop #ModalJazz #Jazz #MichaelNaura #Music #Vibraphone

Hootin' 'n Tootin' is the debut album by American saxophonist Fred Jackson, and the sole recording under his leadership, recorded in 1962 and released on the Blue Note label. The Allmusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine awarded the album 4½ stars and stated "Hootin' 'n Tootin' is a thoroughly enjoyable set of funky soul-jazz with hard bop overtones. It is true that Jackson doesn't try anything new on the set, but he proves to be a capable leader... the result is a modest but highly entertaining set of earthy, bluesy soul-jazz that should have been heard by a wider audience" - Wikipedia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAf0UfDG_00&list=PLqvV6qdeqPXoA87EwDrzf1ODeDHgv6kHc&index=1 #FredJackson #SoulJazz #HardBop #BlueNote #Music #Jazz #EarlVanDyke

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 3 stars stating "Pearson performs music in a style that would have fit in quite well on Blue Note ...

'S Make It (slang for 'Let's go') is a recording by the hard bop Art Blakey jazz ensemble. It was recorded in Los Angeles in 1964 and issued on the Limelight label. Jeffery S. McMillan has called the release one of Blakey's most underrated works and that it exemplifies his 1964–1965 work.[8] In a review in the December 1965 issue of Black World, the title track is described as "a diabolical concept, a dark image, invoking the innermost caverns of Manhattan.".. - Wikipedia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8D36xgmpHU&list=PLUJ7V33M1wR0bhL1mvkpM-4r8YXf7Z9yK&index=2 #ArtBlakey #JazzMessengers #HardBop #LeeMorgan #CurtisFuller #JohnGilmore #JohnHicks #VictorSproles #Jazz #Music #Limelight
