JuJu is the fifth album by American jazz saxophonist Wayne Shorter. It was released in July 1965 by Blue Note Records. It features a rhythm section of pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Reggie Workman and drummer Elvin Jones, all of whom had worked extensively with Shorter's fellow tenor saxophonist John Coltrane.

Writing a retrospective review in AllMusic, Stacia Proefrock avers that the use of Coltrane's rhythm section "bolstered" criticism that Shorter was "a mere acolyte of John Coltrane". Proefrock goes on to say that "The truth is, though, that Elvin Jones, Reggie Workman, and McCoy Tyner were the perfect musicians to back Shorter." Proefrock concludes that the album "blooms with ideas, pulling in a world of influences and releasing them again as a series of stunning, complete visions." - Wikipedia

It's Time! is an album recorded by a group led by American saxophonist Jackie McLean recorded in 1964 and released on the Blue Note label.

It's Time! Review by Thom Jurek

...The music was written entirely by either Tolliver or McLean and walks the line between modal post-bop and free jazz. It came hot on the heels of McLean's first forays into these waters on 1963's One Step Beyond and Destination Out!. There is more to it than that, of course; chordal improvisation still plays a large part in the music on this fine record. Hancock's solo on the opening "Cancellation" is the most angular thing here, and the tempo is simply breathtaking...

Doin' the Thang! is the debut album by jazz pianist Ronnie Mathews featuring trumpeter Freddie Hubbard recorded for the Prestige label in 1963.

Alex Henderson of AllMusic said "the LP's focus is modal post-bop and non-soul-jazz hard bop. But even though the material isn't soul-jazz, Mathews' quintet is certainly soulful... Hubbard, who was only 25 when Doin' the Thang was recorded, brings a lot to the session – not only fire, guts, and passion, but also a big, highly appealing tone"

Joshua Redman Quartet - MoodSwing

A quartet of stars, in their first outing together, in 1994: Redman (Sax), McBride (bass), Brian Blade (drums), and Brad Mehldau (piano).

Two discs full of originals, really nicely recorded. The performances are uniformly great, too.

Liner notes were left out of this, but are on Redman's website, and well worth reading:

The Real McCoy is the seventh album by jazz pianist McCoy Tyner and his first released on the Blue Note label. It was recorded on April 21, 1967, two years after Tyner's departure from the John Coltrane Quartet and during a difficult period in which Tyner considered leaving jazz and taking a day job as a cab driver.[6] It features performances by Tyner with tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson, bassist Ron Carter, and former Coltrane Quartet drummer Elvin Jones. Producer Alfred Lion recalls the recording session as a "pure jazz session. There is absolutely no concession to commercialism, and there's a deep, passionate love for the music embedded in each of the selections." - Wikipedia

Vibrations, Themes & Serenades by Byron Morris & Unity, released on E.P.I. Records in 1978.

Vibrations, Themes and Serenades Review by Alex Henderson
Many jazz critics have dismissed the 1970s as a vast wasteland for jazz, but in fact, just the opposite was true. The 1970s were banner years for jazz -- not only because of the fearless explorations of fusion and soul-jazz innovators, but also because of all the interesting modal post-bop coming out. Recorded in 1975 and 1978, Vibrations, Themes and Serenades illustrates the richness of modal jazz and paints an impressive picture of that time. This was the second LP that Byron Morris recorded with Unity, and the band is quite cohesive on spiritually-minded pieces such as "Like a Galaxy of Stars," "Eyewitness News Bluze" and "ERAA," all of which feature the expressive vocalist Jay Clayton...

We had to look. Bloody hell, Joel is only 30 and already an acclaimed composer and performer and teacher at 2 NYC conservatories. Yet he makes time to come to Norfolk, workshop with the ODU Music School and local high school musicians and play for us.

Joel Ross took over Mission Control of our local jazz trio Saturday night to play 2 killer sets. Joel set the local guys to cooking straight off. They’ll need a week to recover as it was a night of Joel’s music, mostly.

The one standard I recognized was Herbie Hancock’s “Maiden Voyage”. You can’t miss it with that big ballsy intro. And they played it hot. Space folded!

Joel Ross, King of Vibes! I like punny titles!

Something for your day/night from a post-bop trio influenced by Béla Bartók and Radiohead.

Oliver Nelson - The Blues and the Abstract Truth

This post-bop classic from 1961 has a pretty incredible lineup of collaborators, including Bill Evans (piano), Roy Haynes (drums), Eric Dolphy (alto, flute), Oliver Nelson (tenor & alto sax), Paul Chambers (bass), and Freddie Hubbard (trumpet). George Barrow (baritone sax) is not on the cover, because he doesn't solo, but everyone else does...and well.

Breaking Point! is an album by trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, recorded on May 7, 1964, and released on the Blue Note label. This album features Joe Chambers' recording debut. Although it features performances by Hubbard's recent collaborators Ronnie Mathews and Eddie Khan, it was a departure in style from his work with Mathews and the Jazz Messengers.

Chris Slawecki in his review for Encyclopedia of Music in the 20th Century called the album "a crackling mixture of free atonality, beautiful melody and blues feeling." - Wikipedia
