Spring Douban
Tony Williams genre: Jazz
release date 2009-02-24 publisher: Blue Note Records
Tony Williams was truly a phenomenom. When he made this album, he was 19 and had already put in more than two years with Miles Davis, participated in a dozen classic Blue Note recordings, cut his first album as a leader and revolutionized the way drums were played. This album features tenormen Wayne Shorter and Sam Rivers, pianist Herbie Hancock, bassist Gary Peacock, and Williams in a variety of combinations. The core of this music is empathy -- listening to each other and maintaining the highest level of creativity. It is the last album Williams would make before forming his fusion group Lifetime. Remastered by Rudy Van Gelder from the original analog tapes.

當藍調之音遇上UNIQLO Douban
★ 8.0 (5 ratings) Horace Parlan / Joe Henderson … genre: Jazz
release date 2011-04-29 publisher: EMI
2011年起，日本知名服飾品牌UNIQLO與「藍調之音」唱片公司合作，推出數十款以經典爵士唱片封面為圖樣設計的T恤。這肯定是一個足以互蒙其利的聰明做法，一來讓服飾品牌沾染了文藝氣息，再來讓爵士老店拼貼出年輕潮味，怎麼想都是個好主意！
「藍調之音」唱片，從來就以「1939年以降，最棒的爵士樂都在這兒！」〈Best Jazz Since 1939〉為號召，理直氣壯地行走江湖。早期著名的「獅狼兄弟」，老闆Alfred Lion與Francis Wolff，還有錄音魔法師Rudy Van Gelder，再加上身為樂手同時也是插畫藝術家的Gil Melle，這個黃金組合為「藍調之音」創造了不知多少將「音樂品質」、「發燒音質」與「封面藝術」這三種可貴元素合而為一的經典唱片。「藍調之音」的唱片封面一直是樂迷與收藏家的討論話題，國外甚至以專書介紹，原始的黑膠唱片在市場上更是以天價計算！現在可以把唱片穿在身上，大街上驕傲地宣稱「我就是要聽爵士樂！」，實在過癮！
選輯裡共十首歌曲，對應十張經典唱片的封面，也各自對應一件UT。音樂直接反映了衣著的態度，穿上爵士潮T聽爵士，整個人都搖擺起來了！
