Herbert Jeffrey Hancock (born April 12 1940 in Chicago, Illinois) is an award winning American jazz pianist and composer. Hancock is one of jazz music's most important and influential pianists and composers. He embraced elements of rock, funk, and soul while adopting freer stylistic elements from jazz.

Released in 1970, Abraxas, Santana's second album, sees the band expanding its already wildly diverse Latin rock sound by adding deeper elements of blues and jazz to the sizzling mix. Abraxas is home to two more of the group's signature monster hits: the hypnotic, rhythmically hectic interpretations of Tito Puente's "Oye Como Va" and Fleetwood Mac's "Black Magic Woman."

Sundazed's exact vinyl replica of this calienté classic is sourced directly from the original Columbia masters.

Hot Buttered Soul was Isaac Hayes' second studio album. Released in 1969, it is recognized as a landmark in soul music.

专辑介绍:
素有［黑暗王子］之称的小喇叭巨擘 Miles Davis(1929-91)　是一位奠定50年代酷派（Cool School）冷调风格，开创60年代末期Jazz-Rock 融合（Fusion）新乐风的先锋；受到咆勃时期最具代表性萨克斯风大师Charlie Parker 提携，Miles Davis 由纽约52街的酒吧表演跨入大乐团，而后自组五重奏的历程，不仅绽放个人深刻色彩，更跨越肤色藩篱成就后起之秀。张专辑是Miles Davis将摇滚乐融入爵士乐的一张作品。在新推出之时，并没有多少人认同他的新乐风，直到五至年之后才陆陆续续有人能够理解其先见之创造力!"沈默之道"，那是这张《In A Silent Way》专辑的中文译名，也许翻成「宁静之道」更妥善，更能忠实地传达出Miles营造出的那种吓人的宁静革命。这是这张专辑的阵式：
时间：1969年2月18日
地点：美国纽约市，52街上的西51号，CBS录音室裏
乐器：三架电钢琴、电吉他、贝斯、tenor sax、风琴、鼓、小喇叭
人物：Herbie Hancock、Miles Davis、Chick Corea、Wayne Shorter、Dave Holland、
Josef Zawinul、John McLaughlin、Tony Williams等八位。
创意：无限
这天，他们八员就在录音室裏花了一天时间，唏哩呼嚕地将这张《In A Silent Way》录製完成。其实说穿了它也仅有两首曲子，各为18:03的《Shhh / Peaceful》、19:57的《In A Silent Way / It's About That Time》。这合计不到四十
分鐘的专辑，却让我爱得死去活来。怎么说呢？
这时Miles Davis的想法中已经不再是传统爵士乐，不只是那些钢琴、贝斯、Sax、鼓，还有追著先辈的步伐，沈重而蹣跚地走在前人的阴影下，在夹缝中寻找生存的契机，反之，他由60年代中期以来，脑子开始出走神游，由灵魂乐教父James Brown（此公曾因在舞台上表演过於投入及兴奋，当眾昏倒）、Sly And the Family Stone（此队人马的音乐会让你的细胞变成黑人那样有强烈的韵律和节奏感）、Jimi Hendrix（此君跟我同一月日出生，所以很伟大，喔不！他是个左撇子，吉电他在他手上於30年前弹出的音效，据闻至今依旧让许多吉他爱好者抓破了头皮还是弹不出来）得来的灵感，融入了Jazz音乐中，成了通了电的Miles Davis。
Shhhh / Peaceful
0:00
由电钢琴的颤音开始，还有电吉他的音色，随后就是贝斯「短─长─」、「低─
高─」式规则的起伏。像是在星夜下无边的旷野似的，有低鸣的虫嘶，远处有无
名的篝火一落落地延烧著。
1:43
Miles的小喇叭出现了，我们延续前面的想像力，想像一下，在静謐的星空下，
出现了长吟的小喇叭声音是何感觉？是了，这裏的Trumpet就是这样的感觉。小
喇叭吹得人心七上八下的，真是好听得让人受不了。
4:18 - 18:03
小喇叭到此来进入第一个高潮，也看得出它是个主导的狠角色。此后，一直再轮
流主旋律。Miles Davis特别把曲子拉得这么长，也许是刻意要塑造那种幽暗深
远的空间感和距离的迷濛美吧。
In A Silent Way / It's About That Time
0:00
同名的单曲在这裏使用了安宁的吉他做为开场，拖沓了好一阵子，带出小喇叭的
长音演奏。这裏的空间感更加深长了。
4:15
到这裏的旋律完全改变，成为具有太空现代感般的音乐，贝斯是在暗处鼓譟的，
电吉他和电钢琴的音色有种蓝黑色的不明景象感，听上去安静，可是事实上又不
安静……

Bitches Brew is a studio double album by jazz musician Miles Davis, released in June of 1970 on Columbia Records.[1] Recording sessions took place at Columbia's 30th Street Studio over the course of three days in August of 1969. The album continued Davis' experimentation of electric instruments previously featured on his critically acclaimed In a Silent Way album. With the use of these instruments, such as the electric piano and guitar, Davis rejected traditional jazz rhythms in favor of a looser, rock-influenced improvisational style.
Often cited as one of Davis' best-selling albums and masterpieces, Bitches Brew marked a turning point in modern jazz. Upon release, it received mixed criticism from fans and critics, alike, due to the album's unconventional style and revolutionary sound. Later on, Bitches Brew gained recognition as one of jazz's greatest albums and a progenitor of the jazz rock genre, as well as a major influence on rock and funk musicians.[2] In 1998, Columbia Records released The Complete Bitches Brew Sessions, a four-disc box set that included the original album as well as ensuing studio sessions through February 1970.

Adrian Belew is a guitar virtuoso who became one of the prestigious members of King Crimson in the early 1980's. He remains a member of that group to this day. Over the years he has issued numerous solo albums. Inner Revolution was originally issued in 1992, but has been out of print for years. We happily make this excellent album available on CD once again. Wounded Bird. 2004.

Italian two-on-one reissue combines the Italian progressive rock act's 1973 self-titled debut album, 'Dedalus' with its 1974 follow-up 'Materiale Per Tre Esecutori E Nastro Magnetico'.

Birds of Fire is the second studio album by jazz fusion band the Mahavishnu Orchestra. It was released on January 3, 1973 by Columbia Records and is the last studio album released by the original band line-up before it dissolved.
As with the group's previous album, The Inner Mounting Flame, Birds of Fire consists solely of compositions by John McLaughlin. These include the track "Miles Beyond (Miles Davis)", which McLaughlin dedicated to his friend and former bandleader.
The back cover of the album features the poem "Revelation" by Sri Chinmoy.

Ai Kuwabara (born September 21, 1991) is a modern jazz pianist from Chiba, Japan.

Info sur le titre de l'album Osore-zan
Sur l'ile de Honshu dans l'arriere pays de TOHOKU, un volcan est l'attraction principale
de tous les passionnes de sueurs froide. 'la Montagne de la Peur' : un volcan qui fume sans cesse, et
dont le cratere (qui porte un lac immobile symbolisant les enfers bouddhiques) accueille chaque annee
des sorcieres-mediums, les itako. Ces jeunes femmes, souvent aveugles, sont formees par des pretresses
chamanes pour servir de porte-paroles des morts pour les familles.
Autour du Mont Osorezan, elle s'installe proche des vapeurs et entament un ceremonial ou s'elevent des voix
d'outre-tombe (est-ce le meme procede que pour la pythie de Delphes : une mise en transe par l'effet des fumees volcaniques ?).

Commentaire
Ce disque est une bombe. Une comete. Mais qui ne vaut que pour le premier instrumentale.
La seconde face est plus experimentale et risque d'en derouter plus d'un sauf si vous vous mettant dans l'ambiance flippante.
Tout de suite, ferme vos volets, fermez les yeux, et plongez dans l'horreur.
Car on flippe litteralement en ecoutant l'album. Imaginez-vous en pleine nuit, au pied de cette montagne, seul.
Du brouillard. Le vent dans les arbres. Et...je vous laisse a votre imagination pour la suite
Prologue : 0 a 2:18
Un cri dechirant vous fait sursauter, puis une douce percu annonce la couleur.
Basse electrique ensuite, et cris des itako. Soudain une femme a la voix douce chante
une priere tres melodique alors que les cris des fantomes et vent l'accompagnent.
Arrivee du synthe. Silence.
Developpement
[U]Intro :[/U]
Bruit de pas, et. Riffe de guitare electrique. Batterie. Que la melodie est belle. Des voix feminines, des voix de fantome, riffs plannant de guitare.
L'intro monte crescendo jusqu'a l'explosion qui est le plus beau moment du disque.
[U]Explosion lyrique[/U] a partir de 8:13
(le plus beau morceau de Geinoh Yamashirogumi)
Percu et basse annonce la couleur et la fantastique chorale commence comme une ballade de l'horreur.
Les Pink Floyd n'ont qu'a bien se tenir.
Gros solo melodique a la guitare (a partir de 9:28) - Un pure bonheur qui n'a rien a envier au Pink Floyd, c'est encore mieux ici.
Solo synthe a partir de 13:25
Retour des voix, cris dechirants melodiques, un pur bonheur artistique. Je rappelle que ce disque a ete compose en 1976. :blink:
Final (16:13 a fin)
Superbe melodie douce. Les voix ne sont plus flippante mais reposante. La conclusion est tres belle, puis, comme une
voix qui pleure, une femme chante une melopee japonaise ancienne, magnifique.

Geinoh Yamashirogumi (The Yamashiro Art Group) are a collective of about 200 people working in cultural anthropology, ethology, molecular biology and other related fields. From the 1960s they studied musical cultures from around the world, mastering something like 80 different musical systems. Listen and you would never know they were Japanese as they sing Bulgarian polyphony, or play Balinese gamelan. At the same time they play their own world mix of sounds in a hi-tech environment. Their music is mostly east Asian sounding, a sort of techno-gamelan rock, with Buddhist chanting, thundering Japanese drums or a collection of Tibetan instruments. They are probably best known for creating the soundtrack to the classic animated film 'Akira' an incredible collage of sounds that mixed gamelan with church organ and rock guitar. Osorezan (Ghost Mountain) comes with a health warning as it starts with a chilling scream, before developing into a collage of Japanese voices, gamelan, electric guitars and more weird screams. Track 2 has more vocal styles including shomyo (buddhist chants) and kecak (chanting) from Bali. Truly astonishing.
