WLV 82001 BOB DYLAN BOB DYLAM LP 11.2017
Wax Love present a reissue of Bob Dylan's debut album, originally released in March
of 1962. Bob Dylan's debut album announced the arrival of a singer-songwriter who
would change the face of 20th century music and popular culture. Though it was
Freewheelin' the following year that would make him an international star and the
voice of a generation, this debut is a crucial piece of folk music history and a
stunning example of his early song-craft. Back in print with a beautifully redesigned
cover on Wax Love. Includes a bonus track, "Mixed-Up Confusion".

WLV 82002 JUDY COLLINS GOLDEN APPLES OF THE SUN LP 11.2017
Wax Love present a reissue of Judy Collins's Golden Apples Of The Sun, originally
released in 1962. Legendary folk singer Judy Collins began her musical career as a
piano prodigy -- the daughter of a professional musician and radio host -- but it was
the work of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger that inspired Collins to pick up a guitar
in the 1950s and set her off down a career of folk music stardom. Originally released
in 1962, Golden Apples Of The Sun is her second LP and is mostly made up of traditional
material rearranged by Collins and her unique and iconic voice. A classic of the '60s
folk revival back in print on LP.

WLV 82003 ARETHA FRANKLIN THE FIRST 12 SIDES LP 11.2017
Wax Love present a reissue of Aretha Franklin's The First 12 Sides, originally released
as Aretha in 1961. Before Aretha hit big with her stomping southern soul sound in the
late '60s, she'd already had quite a career. Beginning as a gospel singer Franklin
spent the early '60s recording in a variety of styles to varying success. While her
other releases were overproduced and poppy, these very early recordings with the Ray
Bryant group are beautiful jazz vocal stylings in the manner of Sarah Vaughan or Ella
Fitzgerald. Beautifully recorded with no overdubs this is fantastic early '60s jazz
and her voice is as perfect a fit for this material as it is for the soul she's famous
for.

WLV 82004 PROFESSOR LONGHAIR : MARDI GRASS IN NEW ORLEANS LP 12.2017
Fusing diverse elements of blues, barrelhouse boogie-woogie, funk and gospel, with
mambo, rhumba and second-line street parade rhythms, Professor Longhair's contribution
to today's musical vocabulary is immeasurable. This compilation of B-sides, rarities
and alternate takes, recorded between 1949 and 1957, honours one of the great and
unique talents in rock'n'roll and blues history.

WLV 82005 DIZZY GILLESPIE : DIZZY ON THE FRENCH RIVIERA LP 11.2017
Wax Love present a reissue of Dizzy Gillespie's Dizzy On The French Riviera, originally
released in 1962. Recorded July 24, 1962 at the 3rd International Jazz Festival
D'Antibes/Juan-Les-Pins, this is classic 1960s Dizzy. It's smooth and swinging without
losing any of his patented power. Produced by Quincy Jones, and featuring piano and
arrangements from Argentinian master Lalo Schifrin, Gillespie shines here alongside
underrated reed man Leo Wright. A great early '60s Dizzy group absolutely slaying live
to a receptive audience.

WLV 82006 THE BEATLES : A TASTE OF HONEY-LIVE AT STAR CLUB, LP 11.2017
HAMBURG 1962
The Beatles played five residencies in Hamburg between 1960 and 1962, the last of
which is captured here in December of 1962, just a few months after Ringo Starr
replaced Pete Best and finalized the lineup that would soon be known as The Fab Four.
The group would soon be signed to Parlophone and the rest, as they say, is history.
This is part one of two historical live recordings, from a two-LP set originally
released as Live! At The Star-Club In Hamburg, Germany; 1962 in 1977, that capture
the band just before they rocketed to stardom. A truly important piece of Beatles
history back in print.

WLV 82007 ROVERT JOHNSON DRUNKEN HEARTED MAN LP 11.2017
A collection of the finest moments of the only two known recording sessions by the
King of Delta Blues, Robert Johnson. A man whose poorly documented life and death at
27 have given rise to much legend in the last 30 years, Johnson had little or none
public recognition for his work in his lifetime. Rumored to have sold his soul at the
crossroads to achieve success, Robert Johnson lived his whole life playing at street
corners and Saturday night dances, writing the soundtrack for half a century of rock
culture to come. Featuring all-time classics such as "I Believe I'll Dust My Broom"
or "Kind Hearted Woman Blues", this is mandatory for all early folk and blues
aficionados.

WLV 82008 WOODY GUTHRIE DUST BOWL BALLADS LP 12.2017
Wax Love present a reissue of Woody Guthrie's Dust Bowl Ballads, originally released
as a full LP in 1964. This is the first record that "The Oklahoma Cowboy" made in NYC
for Alan Lomax, after his arrival in 1940, as part of his work for the Library of
Congress, taped on April 26th and May 3rd. Originally released as three separate
78 rpm records, these are Guthrie's tales about one of the most dire periods in rural
America, the Dust Bowl era. This quintessential work proves that Guthrie was a true
minstrel of the other face of America, the one that you can't find in history books
: tales of poverty, migration, storms, illness, hunger and harsh criticism of the
American government. This record kills fascists.

WLV 82009 SCREAMIN' JAZ HAWKINS : AT HOME WITH... LP 03.2018
Wax Love present a reissue of At Home With Screamin' Jay Hawkins, originally released
in 1958. By far one of the most outrageous performers of the early years of rock, prone
to emerging from coffins on stage, with a flaming skull named Henry as his constant
companion, Screamin' Jay was an insanely theatrical figure long before it was even
remotely acceptable. His 1958 debut, At Home, featuring his legendary "I Put A Spell
On You," along with surreal hits like "Hong Kong," "Take Me Back To The Boot And
Saddle," or his wild-ass reinventions of old standards like "I Love Paris" and "Deep
Purple" is a carefully arranged yet gritty, Ray Charles-gone-crazy styled, full band
rhythm, and blues masterpiece, filled with enough howls and groans to send chills down
your spine.

WLV 82010 BOB DYLAN FREEWHEELIN' OUTTAKES LP 11.2017
[THE COLUMBIA YEARS, NYC, 1962
Unlike his debut (WLV 82001LP) -- which took only two days in the studio to record
-- The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan finally emerged in May 1963 after some eight sessions
at Columbia Records Studio A, over the course of nearly a year. The time and effort
paid off in spades, as he emerged from the studio a fully-formed bona fide songwriter
with a legitimate hit on his hands. Obviously, the final album left much material on
the cutting room floor and with this release, Wax Love bring some of that rarely heard
material back to light. A mix of originals that never made it onto any LP, alternate
takes, and cover songs, Freewheelin' Outtakes: The Columbia Sessions, NYC, 1962
captures America's most important living songwriter at a pivotal moment in his career
when he emerged from the Greenwich Village folk scene to become the voice of his
generation.

WLV 82011 JOAN BAEZ JOAN BAEZ LP 12.2017
Wax Love present a reissue of Joan Baez's self-titled debut album, originally released
in 1960. Joan Baez is one of the most prominent figures of the '60s folk scene and a
legendary musician, and activist. Growing up Mexican-American and in the Quaker faith
in the 1950s instilled in Baez a strong belief in pacifism and a deep dedication to
racial justice. After high school Baez moved to Boston and immediately fell in with
burgeoning folk scene there, meeting the influential Odetta, and performing with Bob
Gibson. It was her performance with Gibson at the 1959 Newport Folk Festival that led
to her signing and this debut album, a truly fantastic piece of 1960s folk and the
intro to one of the most important voices of the 20th century American left.

WLV 82013 BO DIDDLEY BO DIDDLEY AND COMPANY LP 10.2017
Reissued on wax, it's the killer 1962 full-length by Bo Diddley. This was the first
LP to feature his popular female rhythm guitarist sidekick, The Duchess. Though this
work doesn't feature any well known chart-toppers, it's a stunning slab of classic
R&B influenced rock and roll, essential for any Diddley-fan!

Sylvie Vartrans family emigrated from Bulgaria to Paris in 1952 when she was just
a child. Soon she would fall in love with the cosmopolitan Parisian music scene as
well as American jazz and rock and roll, and by 1961, at the young age of 17, she
began her recording career, one that would prove to be among the most illustrious
in French pop music of 20th century. Known for her tough and sultry vocals, Vartran
was an early star of the ye-ye scene and these first singles show why! Featuring many
French language re-workings of rock and R&B hits from The Isley Brothers to Mel
Torme, Paul Anka to Del Shannon, this collection is essential to any fan of 60s
French pop.

of Coltrane, Garland, Chambers, and Jones, this collection highlights that groups
ability to slow things down to a soulful, brilliant simmer. Classic jazz ballads that
swing, perfect for late nights with a lover at your side.

interest in Dylan. He proposed that Dylan sign with the prestigious publisher
M. Witmark & Sons. Dylan signed a contract with Witmark on July 12 and immediately
recorded a demo of what would become his breakthrough song, 'Blowin' In The Wind'.
All of Dylan's 1962 demos for Witmark are reproduced here on Wax

WLV 82018 CHET BAKER/BUD SHANK/LEITH STEVENS : THEME MUSIC FROM LP 06.2018
THE JAMES DEAN STORY
Wax Love present a reissue of Theme Music From The James Dean Story, originally
released in 1957. The James Dean Story is a 1957 documentary on the life of the
legendary American film actor James Dean, depicted through dramatic use of still
photography and interviews. Composed by Leith Stevens and featuring a veritable who's
who of West Coast cool jazz, the moody score perfectly encapsulates the life of the
brilliant and troubled heartthrob, a man whose influence on American culture of the
20th can't be exaggerated. With a band that includes Chet Baker, Bud Shank, Pepper
Adams, and Don Fagerquist, with arrangements by the brilliant Johnny Mandel, you know
this is going to be full of swinging and classy arrangements and soloing, and moody
ballad work. A truly great piece of West Coast jazz, the soundtrack to a film about
one of the most idolized actors in American film history.

Though she had been performing professionally since the late 1920s, as a teenager
in Harlem, during its Renaissance, the immortal Billie Holiday didn't play a single
night on the European continent until 1954. It was in that year that the great
journalist and musician Leonard Feather, and a Swedish promoter organized the Jazz
Club U.S.A. tour, named after Feather's wildly popular radio program. Featuring Red
Norvo, Sonny Clark, and more, the centerpiece of Jazz Club U.S.A. was, undoubtedly,
Lady Day. Recorded at various dates across the tour, Billie's Blues shows Holiday
still had it, despite the turmoil, and drug and alcohol abuse, her voice remained
strong, a stunning document of one of America's greatest treasures on her first ever
tour of Europe. Reissued with 5 bonus tracks.

18. CARTER LEWIS & THE SOUTHERNERS : TWO TIMING BABY
Though he's been dead for nearly 50 years, Joe Meek remains one of the most fascinating
and influential figures in British pop music. A brilliant and prolific producer and
songwriter - despite his inability to either play an instrument or read music - Meek
also happened to be an occultist, paranoiac, suicidal depressive and, to top it all
off, a murderer. Though only 37 at the time of his death Meek left a large body of
work rivaled only by his equally inspired/insane competitor across the pond, Phil
Spector. This brand new collection on Wax Love bring 18 of Meek's finest early '60s
pop productions back to life on vinyl, the format they were made for. Dig in!

In a career spanning over four decades, composer, conductor and arranger Enrico
"Henry" Mancini (1924-1994) won numerous Academy and Grammy awards for his scores
to well-known films and television series, including The Pink Panther, Hatari!, Two
For The Road, Wait Until Dark, Peter Gunn, and of course, 1961s Breakfast At Tiffanys
(which alone won five Grammys and two Oscars)! The Breakfast At Tiffanys soundtrack
is probably best remembered for Audrey Hepburns legendary performance of Mancinis
"Moon River" (lyrics by Johnny Mercer), which won an Academy Award for Best Song
that year. "Moon River" went on to become one of the best loved songs of all time,
but it first made its appearance here, in Breakfast At Tiffanys.

On December 4, 1956, four young musicians gathered by pure chance at Sun Records in
Memphis for what would become one of the greatest jam sessions ever. In fact, the four
guys in question happen to be Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee
Lewis, hence the name "Million Dollar Quartet". Not only does this recording show a
glimpse of the real Elvis, but it actually stands as a musical artifact in itself.
Ranging from gospel spirituals and country standards to covers of Bill Monroe and
Chuck Berry songs, these four all-time rock icons play with all the ingredients that
created rock and roll, just for the fun of it. A document showing the real feel of the
early days of rock and roll, finally back on vinyl.

This collection compiles many of the classic '50s and '60s sides that B.B. King
recorded for the Los Angeles based label Modern. Mostly recorded in King's home base
of Memphis, Tennessee -- some even recorded and produced by Sam Phillips of Sun
Records fame -- these sides are some of the most important and classic blues and R&B
tracks of the late 1950s and early 1960s. A true workhorse, King was often playing
more than 300 concerts a year at this point in his career, and it shows in these
performances where a tight band is led by one of the most practiced and technically
skilled guitarists of the era. King remains a huge influence on guitarists to this
day and these recordings, from nearly 60 years ago, are a perfect example why.

otherwise known as Sam Phillips' legendary Sun Studios. Famously Elvis Presley
walked in the door there in 1953 to record an acetate for his mother, Phillips
took down his name for future reference/possible label signing and the rest, as
they say, is history. Pressed into the wax on this LP are 20 of the most legendary
performances in rockabilly/country/rock and roll history. An absolutely essential
collection and possibly the greatest recordings of the King's storied 20+ year career.

When John Coltrane performed in 1963 at Penn State University, it was with the group
that is now considered his most "classic" group: the quartet featuring McCoy Tyner on
piano, Jimmy Garrison on bass, and Elvin Jones on drums. Featuring an epic, 25 minute
long, "Bye Bye Blackbird" among other early 60s originals and covers, this is the
sound of an artist coming into his own and truly shining. Coltrane at the top of his
modal/post-bop powers.

on New York's WBAI. It was on this show in early 1962 that she recorded an interview
and performance with the then unknown Dylan, whose first album had yet been released.
A stunning and clear performance featuring covers and many of his earliest canonical
songs, an important document in the nearly 60 year career of an American icon.

The great Eddie Cochran, an early rock and roll legend rivaled only by the likes of
Elvis, and his good friends Buddy, and Richie, was gone before his 22nd birthday, the
victim of a taxi cab crash while on tour in England. It's hard to imagine, when
listening to Cochran's body of work, that one man could record so much classic material
in such a brief period of time. Cochran's first solo release came in 1956, and in less
than 5 years he recorded dozens of singles, including 7 chart hits in the USA, and a
number more in the UK. This comp includes some of his biggest hits as well as numerous
b-side rarities, showcasing the breadth and depth of this legendary early rock and
roller.

10. SHE'S MINE
Houston, Texas favorite son Sam John Hopkins, better known as Lightnin, was recorded
in 1959 by the legendary musicologist Samuel Charters, predating and predicting the
folk-blues revival of the early 60s. Highly regarded as one of the finest acoustic
blues albums ever, Lightnin Hopkins established its hero as a legend. The very
definition of essential.

Chet Baker was the very definition of cool and this 1954 release, which introduced
the world to his unique jazz vocal delivery is arguably the finest work of his career.
His vocal style possessed a clear, pure tone devoid of vibrato, similar to his trumpet
playing, and was just as revelatory, this album is a landmark of West Coast cool jazz
perfect for those late, smokey nights, and an absolute essential for any fan of the
late great Baker.

10. TEASE YOU DADDY
The legendary John Lee Hooker began his long and storied recording career in 1948,
and over the next several years he released dozens of sides for the Los Angeles based
blues and R&B super power label Modern. This classic LP collects some of his finest
singles from 1948-1954, raw and powerful stuff that is as important as any from
Hooker's entire career. Often featuring just Hooker and his guitar, or with a small
backing combo, these tracks are sparse and deep, as real as the blues ever were.

Formed in 1961 when Dennis Wilson, the only Beach Boy to regularly visit the beach,
asked his brother Brian to write a song about the sport of surfing. The Beach Boys
reached number 75 in national charts with their first single (the resultant song
'Surfin'') and were immediately signed to a major label. Though many debut albums in
the early '60s were mainly built around a few smash-hits, the Beach Boys' 1962 full
length debut on Capitol (featuring such hits as 'Surfin' Safari,' '409' and their
version of the Eddie Cochran classic 'Summertime Blues') remains one of the greatest
first steps in American pop culture, and a mandatory chapter in the history of rock
and roll.

the Ol' 97," and "Folsom Prison Blues." The beginnings of an American country hero
also happen to be some of the finest recordings of his career, absolutely stellar
Southern Americana.

13. DON'T YOU KNOW
14. I GOT A WOMAN
Perhaps the greatest crossover artist that ever was, it is impossible to overstate
the impact that Ray Charles had on the evolution of both R&B and rock 'n' roll.
Charles' distinctive style transcended genres and influenced musicians from every
musical background and from every corner of the globe, but it was during the mid
-fifties that Charles really began to rule the R&B charts. His legendary debut LP
- originally released in 1957 (and later renamed Hallelujah! I Love Her So) for
Atlantic - was essentially a collection of those hit singles. In 1955 Ray had his
first number one hit, 'I've Got A Woman,' followed by his second and third number
one hits, 'A Fool For You,' and 'Drown in My Own Tears,' over just the next few
months. Almost all of the remaining tracks on the album were also top ten hits from
that same period, including 'Greenbacks,' 'Hallelujah I Love Her So,' and 'This
Little Girl of Mine.' This was undoubtedly the era that defined the legend."

WLV 82037 SAM COOKE : One Night Stand! Recorded January 12, LP 04.2018
1963 At The Harlem Square Club In Miami
Wax Love present One Night Stand!, a reissue of Sam Cooke's Live At The Harlem Square
Club 1963 originally released in 1985. This stunning live date from the great Sam Cooke
at Miami's Harlem Square Club went unreleased for years because his label thought it
was too raw and raucous, a complaint that hardly seems fair today as this is now known
as one of the great live albums of all-time.

WLV 82038 ELVIS PRESLEY : The King As Seen On TV! The Dorsey LP 04.2018
Brothers Show & The Ed Sullivan Show 1957
Wax Love present The King As Seen On TV! a collection of Elvis Presley TV appearances
in 1957. In his first nationally televised appearance, on the big band leaders Tommy
and Jimmy Dorsey's TV variety show, Elvis Presley shocked the country with his sultry
and sensational version of all-time classics like "Heartbreak Hotel" and "Blue Suede
Shoes". And, although the Dorsey Brothers Show might have been his first national
appearance, it was the legendary Ed Sullivan performance that truly put him on the
map, so to speak.

Beatles played five residencies in Hamburg between 1960 and 1962, the last of which
is captured here in December of 1962, just a few months after Ringo Starr replaced
Pete Best and finalized the lineup that would soon be known as The Fab Four. The group
would soon be signed to Parlophone and the rest, as they say, is history. This is part
two of two historical live recordings that capture the band just before they rocketed
to stardom. A truly important piece of Beatle history.

04. THE ARK
Wax Love present a reissue of Ornette Coleman's At The Town Hall, December 1962,
originally released as Town Hall - 1962 in 1965. Ornette Coleman's Town Hall show
from December 1962 is the stuff legends are made of. He'd already made a name for
himself with incredible releases on Atlantic including The Shape Of Jazz To Come
(1959) and Free Jazz (1961), but to some extent this live date feels like his free
-jazz coming out party. A true artistic statement of pure free energy, this live date
is both totally unhinged and completely in control. A necessary piece of free jazz
history on Wax Love.

08. "SAY BOSSMAN"
09. "DIDDLEY DADDY"
10. "DIDDEY WAH DIDDEY"
11. WHO DO YOU LOVE
12. PRETTY THING
The full-length debut by the man known as the originator of rock and roll should need
no introduction. Though never a top seller on par with his Chess Records rival Chuck
Berry, Bo produced a catalog of classics to compete with all but a handful of the best
early rockers, pushing rock and roll to its funkiest ever. The Bo Diddley beat--that
'bomp, ba-bomp-bomp, bomp-bomp' to which the pop-garage 1965 hit 'I Want Candy' by
the Strangeloves owes everything--is one of rock and roll's bedrock rhythms, showing
up in the work of Buddy Holly, the Velvet Underground, and the Rolling Stones to name
but a few. An all time classic that stretched back as far as Africa for its roots,
and looked as far into the future as rap, while still remaining a milestone in the
transition from blues to early rock and roll.

members of Count Basies group as well as crack New York sessions players, Genius
+ Soul = Jazz is one of the finest records in Charles storied career. Lushly arranged
and impeccably played, the group and performances are the perfect backdrop for
Charles whiskey smooth vocals. A crucial and essential piece of work from one of the
20th centurys most celebrated performers.

11. APRIL IN PARIS
Recorded at the famed Capitol Studios in Hollywood in 1956, this was the first, and
by far the best, of 3 albums Ella and Louis recorded in the late 1950s. Comprised of
classic ballads selected by the famed Norman Granz, Ella and Louis charm is undeniable.
A truly iconic jazz vocal album backed by The Oscar Peterson Quartet, Ella and Louis
is guaranteed to please listeners of any age.

08. VERY EARLY
Following the untimely death of his beloved bassist, Scott Le Faro, Bill Evans was
despondent, taking a several month hiatus from performing. Moon Beams was the first
Bill Evans Trio album recorded and released with new bassist, Chuck Israels, and a
beautiful return to form. Comprised of gorgeous ballads, Moon Beams title is perfectly
apt, a late night dreamlike album that subdues the listener. Truly gorgeous piano
jazz from the absolute master of the trio.

12. HE'S MY ROCK (WAIT ON JESUS)
13. LISTEN NOW! UNTIL JESUS CALLS ME HOME
14. END OF MY JOURNEY
Collecting some of his finest gospel sides with The Soul Stirrers, Peace In The Valley
is not just the starting point of Sam Cookes iconic career, it is also some of the
most beautiful music ever put to tape. Though the songs are religious in nature, one
can easily hear the architecture of Cookes later secular R&B work in these sides.
Soulful and sanctified music from one of the finest voices in the history of 20th
century popular music.

backing group, The Del-Tones, Surfer's Choice, is an absolute, stone cold, classic
and the first ever LP document of the brand new phenomenon of surf rock, a genre that
Dale, an avid surfer himself, singlehandedly created. An essential piece of surf rock
history, back in print on Wax Love.

03. I FALL IN LOVE TOO EASILY
04. SO NEAR, SO FAR
05. BABY WON'T YOU PLEASE COME HOME
06. JOSHUA
Late 1962 and early 1963 were a period of transition for Miles Davis. He had health
issues and his original quintet from the 1950s was on its last legs. He played with
a variety of hired hands while working on assembling a new quintet. Seven Steps To
Heaven collected various recordings from LA and New York, and the New York recordings
are particularly interesting because they feature the 17 year old Tony Williams, as
well as Ron Carter, and Herbie Hancock, 3 of the brilliant players that would make up
Davis working Quintet for the next several years. While comprised of various players
and sessions, Seven Steps To Heaven is still a beautiful album from the legendary
trumpet player well worthy of inclusion among his finest works.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WLV 82048 JOHN COLTRANE THE BELIEVER LP 02.2018
01. THE BELIEVER
02. NAKATINI SERENADE
03. DO I LOVE YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL
The Believer collects recordings from 1958 from tenor master John Coltrane. Featuring
longtime collaborators Red Garland and Paul Chambers, as well as two of the finest
trumpet players to ever grace a jazz record, Donald Byrd and Freddie Hubbard, the
album begins with longtime Coltrane collaborator McCoy Tyners title composition.
Though its a piecemeal album, Coltrane is in top form and his soloing on tenor at the
time was unparalleled. Another great one from Trane.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WLV 82049 HERBIE HANCOCK INVENTIONS & DIMENSIONS LP 02.2018
01. SUCCOTASH
02. TRIANGLE
03. JACK RABBIT
04. MIMOSA
05. A JUMP AHEAD
Inventions & Dimensions is the third album Herbie Hancock ever released as a leader
and proof that he was not an artist who was willing to be pigeonholed. Featuring
a quartet made up of a bassist and two latin percussionists, Inventions & Dimensions
explores the possibility of latin percussion outside the context of a latin jazz
album. Comprised of post-bop and modal compositions all from the pen of Hancock, this
is a beautiful album that shows the promise of a young and confident pianist and
composer who would blossom into one of the most celebrated talents in jazz history.
Essential.

The 4th James Brown LP, originally released in 1961, is one of the harder titles in
his early discography to find. Though it doesnt contain any of his massive, instantly
recognizable hits, its regarded among collectors as one of the finest pure R&B albums
of its era. And it includes some of his best charting singles such as "Just You And
Me Darling", and "Lost Someone". Beg, scream, & shout along with the Hardest Working
Man In Show Business, The Godfather of Soul himself: Mr. JAMES BROWN!

WLV 82051 ROBERT JOHNSON ME AND THE DEVIL LP 05.2018
Wax Love present Me And The Devil, a collection of some of the finest moments of the
only two known recording sessions by the King of Delta Blues, Robert Johnson, made in
Dallas and San Antonio in 1936 and 1937. A man whose poorly documented life and death
at 27 have given rise to much legend in the last 75+ years, Johnson had little or none
public recognition for his work in his lifetime. Rumored to have sold his soul at the
crossroads to achieve success, Robert Johnson lived his whole life playing at street
corners and Saturday night dances, writing the soundtrack for half a century of rock
culture to come. Featuring all-time classics such as "Crossroad Blues", "Love In Vain",
and "Phonograph Blues", this is mandatory for all early folk and blues aficionados.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WLV 82052 ROBERT JOHNSON LOVE IN VAIN LP 05.2018
Though the legendary blues musician Robert Johnson was only known to have recorded
twice in his brief lifetime, in 1936 and 1937 in Texas, his output in those two brief
days so long ago was both endlessly influential and surprisingly prolific. Beyond the
classic sides that were released on 78 rpm at the time, there were numerous unreleased
outtakes and alternate recordings that went uncovered for decades after their
recording. Collected here are 12 alternate takes including essentials like "Crossroad
Blues", "Drunken Hearted Man", "Ramblin' On My Mind", and more. Essential and rare
Robert Johnson sides back in print on Wax Love.

WLV 82054 HOHN LEE HOOKER BOOM BOOM LP 06.2018
[VEE JAY SINGLES 1959-1962]
Following stints with Modern and Chess, legendary blues man John Lee Hooker joined
forces with the esteemed Vee-Jay label out of Chicago in 1955. For the next seven years
Hooker cut some of the most explosive and legendary blues sides of his career and
solidified his position as one of the greatest performers of the electric blues era.
By the 1960s the folk and blues revival would make international stars of many blues
performers but at the time of these Vee-Jay recordings this was music made by African
-Americans mostly for the African-American market, from Chicago to the South to Los
Angeles and New York and points between, and Vee-Jay was one of the first and most
successful African-American owned record labels. While many of his earlier sides feat.
only Hooker on guitar and vocals, his Vee-Jay sides feature a full rocking rhythm
section. Essential sides from one of the all-time greatest American performers of the
20th century. This first volume, Mambo Chillun, spans the years 1955-1958, and includes
the titular "Mambo Chillun" a play on his classic hit, "Boogie Chillun", as well as
16 more great late '50s blues sides. This second volume, Boom Boom, spans the years
1959-1962 and includes classics like "Boom Boom", "Want Ad Blues", and 16 more great
Hooker blues joints.

Like many of Johnny Cash's albums from the late 50s and early 60s, Blood, Sweat and
Tears is a concept album. This time around, for his 15th long player, The Man in Black
sings a suite of songs about the plight of the working man. Featuring The Carter Family
on backing vocals and longtime guitarist Luther Perkins, this is a killer album that
features two classics he'd later record on the legendary Folsom Prison sessions
("The Legend of John Henry's Hammer" and "Busted"). Another classic from Johnny Cash
on Wax Love.

WLV 82057 BOB DYLAN : LIVE AT THE GASLIGHT, NYC, SEPT. 6TH,1961 LP 06.2018
Live At The Gaslight, NYC, September 6th, 1961 is a historic performance in many
regards; it is one of the first known live recordings of the great Robert Zimmerman
and, more importantly, the first known live recording to feature original songs
("Man On The Street", "Talkin' Bear Mountain Picnic Massacre Blues", and "Song To
Woody"). Known amongst collectors as "The First Gaslight Tape", the sound quality on
these recordings is fantastic, and it holds up as one of the best early Bob Dylan live
recordings in both sound quality and performance.

The late, great, man in black made appearances on the legendary radio and TV show
broadcast out of Shreveport, LA in 1955, 1959, 1962, and 1963. This LP collects
recordings from all of those performances. Though we all know and love his studio
hits, Cash was often at his best in front of a live audience and his performances
here leave no doubt about that. With stunning performances from his Tennessee Two,
the loose, humorous vibe of these recordings highlight Cash's best side. Absolutely
essential.

stage and on his records. Hawkins, evoking voodoo images and using bone-rattling sound
effects, simultaneously entertained and bewildered rock'n'roll fans. Featuring his
all-time classic "I Put a Spell on You," along with a batch of hard-to-find classics

wonderful LP compiles the best songwriting demos from that fruitful period. Along with
early versions of stone cold classics like "Masters Of War", "Don't Think Twice,
It's Alright", and "The Times They Are-A-Changin'" this collection of a young Dylan
at the start of his brilliant half-century plus career also includes long-forgotten
beautiful obscurities like "All Over You", and "Walkin' Down The Line". Essential
early demos from America's greatest 20th century songwriter.

tutelage of Harry Belafonte, and moved to New York City in 1960 where she immediately
became a massive recording sensation. This LP collects some of that brilliant early
material that launched her career and made her one of the most beloved voices of the
20th century.

16. PERSON TO PERSON
17. LITTLE DEMON (ALTERNATE TAKE)
18. I PUT A SPELL ON YOU (ALTERNATE TAKE)
19. ALLIGATOR WINE (ALTERNATE TAKE)
In a long line of rock and roll outsiders hailing from Ohio, Screamin' Jay Hawkins
may very well be the first. Born and raised in Cleveland, Hawkins' 1956 single
'I Put A Spell On You' is one of the most instantly recognizable songs in the history
of R 'n' B and rock. Baptize Me in Wine compiles that classic track along with 18
other specimens of pure, unhinged, guttural R 'n' B madness into what is sure to be
considered the definitive Hawkins' collection on the vinyl market. Most tracks were
originally released as singles on the Okeh label except for the last four, which are
outtakes from the first album. Before Devo, before Pere Ubu, before Guided By Voices,
there was Screamin' Jay. There really must be something in the water out there.

Jazz at The Philharmonic was a concert series produced by the legendary Norman Granz
all the way from 1944 to 1983. Billie Holiday performed several times in the 1940s
and 50s and was even a member of the touring troupe late in her career. These sides
were recorded in 1945 and 1946 with backing from legends like Illinois Jacquet, Lester
Young, and Barney Kessel. Recorded at the height of her technical prowess and before
her hard living affected her voice, these performances from Los Angeles and New York
City are some of the finest live recordings of her career. Absolute essentials from
a jazz legend.

03. LITTLE LIZA JANE
04. YOU'D BE SO NICE TO COME HOME TO
05. FLO ME LA
06. NINA'S BLUES
07. IN THE EVENING BY THE MOONLIGHT
When this album was recorded live at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1960, Nina Simone
had just had her first Top 20 hit with "I Loves You, Porgy", but the "Porgy" found
here (written by Jimmy McHugh and Dorothy Fields, most famous for "I Can't Give You
Anything But Love") is actually a continuation of Gershwin's original version of the
story. Other highlights include "Flo Me La", an African work chant, and "Little Liza
Jane", an African American folk song. A truly marvelous live performance from one of
the most original voices in 20th century music.

WLV 82065 CHARLES MINGUS : PITHECANTHTOPUS ERECTUS LP 04.2018
01. PITHECANTHROPUS ERECTUS
02. A FOGGY DAY
03. PROFILE OF JACKIE
04. LOVE CHANT
1956's Pithecanthropus Erectus is the Charles Mingus record where he really begins
to take hold of his own personal vision of how jazz music could look. After cutting
his teeth on the L.A. scene and touring with Louis Armstrong and Lionel Hampton,
Mingus moved to New York, began Debut Records with Max Roach, and entered into the
most productive and creative decade of his career. This album is held in the same
esteem as Mingus Ah-Um and The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady among jazz aficionados,
and one need listen no further than the 10 minute title track, a tone poem about the
rise and fall of man which includes one of the earliest free jazz / improvisation
segments put to tape. Absolutely essential jazz from the late great Charles Mingus
on Wax Love.

13. THERE'S A BOAT THAT'S LEAVING SOON FOR NEW YORK
Recorded in 4 sessions in 1958 at Columbia's 30th Street Studios with a large group
that included Cannonball Adderley, Paul Chambers, and Philly Joe Jones, this album is
Miles Davis and longtime collaborator Gil Evans' brilliant arrangement of the 1935 Ira
Gershwin classic Porgy and Bess. Miles Davis was one of the all-time greatest
interpreters of standards and with the arrangements from Evans, this album might be
the best example of Davis' interpretive prowess. A beautiful piece of 1950s jazz on
Wax Love.

and immortal of Chicago electric blues LPs. Featuring almost entirely songs by the
great Willie Dixon, this album from Chester Burnett, inspired everyone from Led
Zeppelin to The Stones, Taj Mahal to Jack White. Another all-time classic back in
print thanks to Wax Love.

including backing from Zoot Sims, Bud Shank, Shelly Manne, as well as arrangements
from Jack Montrose and Shorty Rogers, Chet Baker & Strings is a beautiful and airy
collection of some of Baker's most sultry trumpet work. The string section perfectly
complements the cool jazz quintet backing and makes this one of the Baker's finest and
most unique sets.

of his previous vocal records in which he updates old standards to a contemporary cool
jazz setting. Unlike previous releases by 1958 Baker's voice had reached a stunning
maturity and his trumpet playing is also at a near peak in quality. The song selection
is impeccable and everything about this record just oozes coolness. One of the finest
releases in Chet Baker's storied career.

Big Bill Broonzy experience more in his 55 years on this planet than most. Before his
recording career began in Chicago in the 1920s he had already been married, worked as
a sharecropper, a Pullman porter, a cook, and served for two years in World War I.
After cutting some of the most legendary blues 78s in the '20s and '30s, Despite some
success Broonzy still had to work odd jobs through most of the '40s to survive and by
the time the folk revival and Pete Seeger found him, he only had a few years left.
This collection documents those final years, from 1951 to 1958, where Broonzy was
touring Europe and finally receiving some of the worldwide acclaim he had long
deserved. Though these recordings come at the end of his life, his guitar skill is
honed and his voice like a fine aged whiskey. Another incredible collection of American
blues from Wax Love.

Son House is one of the most legendary Southern blues men in history. Just before the
Great Depression he recorded some sessions for Paramount that sold very little and when
the Depression hit, his recording career was halted. It wasn't until the Library of
Congress and Fisk University recorded him at Klack's Store, Lake Cormorant, MI, in
August 1941. and again in July of 1942 at Robbinsonville, Mississippi. Those recordings
have come to define his career and are a hallmark of the blues genre. Wax Love presents
a glorious retrospective compilation of those recordings, with some of his most well
known tunes like "Shetland Pony Blues", "Low Down Dirty Dog Blues", and "Walking
Blues." Classic.

Edith Piaf lived a tortured life. She died at 47 of liver cancer after years of alcohol
abuse and pill addiction, and it's reported that her last words were "Every damn thing
you do in this life, you have to pay for." While that's a hard way to live, her pain
and emotion rang true in song, and there's not a better or more gut wrenching torch
singer in history than Ms. Piaf. Collecting some of her most famous recordings, incl.
the immortal "La Vie en Rose", "Tout Fout le Camp", and "Le Vagabond", this is a
brilliant retrospective of her career and a perfect entry point into the world of one
of the greatest vocalists of the 20th Century.

covers of standards, Bluejean Bop is a quintessential album of the early era of rock.

blues recordings way more for the juke joints than the folk festivals. Lightnin'
Hopkins is one of the most crucial blues musicians in history, and these are his most
rocking and raucous sides ever!

Charley Patton was a pioneering Delta Blues singer and guitarist and is widely
considered one of the most influential musicians of the 20th Century. Though he
only recorded around 50 tracks in his entire career, he was a popular touring
performer and his legend has only grown in the nearly 100 years since his voice
and guitar were first pressed on shellac. Patton performed with and at times
mentored such blues legends as Robert Johnson, and Chester Burnett (aka Howlin'
Wolf). On Lord I'm Discouraged: The Gennett Records Recording Session, Richmond,
IN June 1929 Wax Love collects all the recordings Patton made for the legendary
label, the same label that released early jazz from Louis Armstrong and Duke
Ellington and tons of classic old-time and blues sessions. In just one day,
June 14, 1929, Patton recorded 14 of the most famous Delta Blues sides in history.
An essential collection for any fan of early acoustic blues.

cream of the crop. Another essential blues piece on Wax Love.

of his earliest recordings out of Detroit with The Falcons, and very early solo
material; this collection shows the legend of soul music when he was just getting
started. Though these are early recordings, Pickett's voice is fully formed and
some of these tracks are the equals of later hits like "In The Midnight Hour",
and "Ninety-Nine and a Half". For any fan of American soul music, this collection
is absolutely necessary.

Wax Love presents a reissue of Erma Franklin's Her Name Is Erma, originally released
in 1962. Erma Franklin was born in 1938 in Shelby, MS, but was raised -- with her
sisters, Aretha and Carolyn -- in Detroit, MI. The son of the legendary preacher,
gospel musician, and civil rights activist Rev. C.L. Franklin, Erma grew up singing
in the church, like so many other R&B and soul greats of the time. After recording
backing vocals with her sister, Erma got the chance in 1962 to cut her debut LP.
Though she would only record one more album, Soul Sister (VAMPI 029CD, 2011) and
retire from music entirely in the 1970s, this debut shows a singer just as talented
as her more famous sister. A husky, soulful belter of a voice is showcased here, with
all the tracks from the original album plus more.

WVL 82080 B.B. KING EASY LISTENING BLUES LP 12.2018
Wax Love presents a reissue of B.B. King's Easy Listening Blues, originally released
in 1962. A bit of an anomaly in the B.B. King catalog, Easy Listening Blues is all
instrumental tracks in the guitar-driven pop-blues style of early Freddie King.
Originally released on Crown (part of the RPM/Modern/Kent umbrella that King had
recorded for since nearly the beginning of his career more than ten years prior),
this collection was aimed at the burgeoning white market for R&B and blues and is
more pop-oriented than previous releases but that lends a charm to these recordings
not often found on other King releases. Easy Listening Blues is killer R&B/blues
instrumentals from one of the greatest guitarists of the 20th Century.

Formed out of the ashes of several different Houston, Texas groups in the late '50s
the core four of The Jazz Crusaders - Joe Sample, Stix Hooper, Wilton Felder, and
Wayne Henderson - all relocated together to Los Angeles in 1960 and quickly signed
a recording contract with Pacific Jazz Records. Freedom Sound is their debut album,
from 1961, and a great introduction to their 1960s hard-bop soul-jazz sound. Rounding
out their trombone-sax-piano-drums core with killer guitar work from Roy Gaines and
the bass of the prolific Jimmy Bond, this is soul-jazz mixed with a taste of West
Coast cool and an essential piece of The Jazz Crusaders' extensive catalog.

The great New Orleans R&B singer Larry Williams may not have the same name recognition
as Fats Domino, Ernie K-Doe, or Roy Brown but his hits, especially "Short Fat Fannie"
and "Bony Maronie", are still universally recognizable classics. Signed to Specialty
Records in 1957 after meeting Little Richard and his producer while he was recording
in NOLA, Williams struck gold with one of his earliest singles, "Short Fat Fannie",
which reached #1 on the R&B chart, and #5 on the pop chart. Here's Larry Williams
collects all his biggest singles on one LP along with some killer deep cuts. If you
dig piano driven R&B shouters this Larry Williams LP is absolutely essential, a classic
from one of New Orleans' greatest.

WLV 82084 SISTER ROSETTA THARPE : UP ABOVE MY HEAD LP 12.2018
Sister Rosetta Tharpe is often referred to as "the godmother of rock and roll" for
her pioneering guitar technique, use of distortion/reverb, and a 1963 UK tour with
Muddy Waters that has been cited as a huge influence by Eric Clapton, Keith Richards,
and Jeff Beck. Though she reached more widespread notoriety across the world in the
'50s and '60s thanks to the folk/blues revival and her beloved status among UK blues
and rock musicians, it's her early recordings from the late '30s and early-mid '40s
that are the most brilliant, visceral, and emotional of her career. Up Above My Head
compiles 18 of those amazing gospel and R&B sides into one place.

Wax Love presents a reissue of Muddy Waters' Folk Singer, originally released in 1964.
At the peak of the folk revival, Muddy Waters entered the studio to record an all

definitely a departure for Waters, but the results are historically great. A beautiful
album from start to finish, Folk Singer features the great Buddy Guy on guitar, and
Willie Dixon on bass (he also produced the album); this has come to be known as one
of Waters' best albums. A great piece of acoustic blues from one of the legends of
the genre.

"a slithery rhythm". And indeed, almost nobody else was making music as unique as
this in the 1950s, drawing influence from city sounds, and working on many of his
own instrumental inventions, Snaketime Series is truly cutting edge American
avant-garde.

Featuring two songs backed by The Beatles ("My Bonnie" and "The Saints"), his
1962 debut LP is a work of classic early-'60s European beat and early rock and roll.
Essential for any Beatles collector and any fan of early-'60s Euro-beat.

Brazilian album of all time by Rolling Stone it also features his fantastic
interpretation of another Jobim classic, "Desafinado", and his own "Bim-Bom" which
many believe to be the first written bossa nova track. Needless to say, this album
is a milestone in Brazilian recordings and bossa nova music and essential to any
serious collection of either.

the 1910s or early 1920s in rural Mississippi, Hooker moved to Detroit in 1943 to work
at the Ford Motor Company and soon began frequenting the city's blues clubs. Hooker
recorded for many labels throughout the 1950s but it was with Chess that he cut his
most memorable and famous sides. This album is the beginning of that fruitful
relationship and features simply Hooker's beautiful blues vocals, raw guitar playing,
and foot stomping to keep the beat. There's no more raw and real blues than right here
on this here LP!

Like so many great singers in history, East Orange, New Jersey native Dionne Warwick
got her start in the church, and for the family gospel group, The Drinkard Singers.
In the late 50s/early 60s she met Burt Bacharach at a recording session where she was
singing backing vocals and the rest, as they say, is history. Warwick collaborated
with the songwriting and production team of Bacharach and Hal David for dozens of
massive hits, and this, her 3rd album, features some of the biggest and bets hits of
her illustrious career, including "Walk On By", "You'll Never Get to Heaven (If You

The debut LP from one of the most dynamic duos in the history of recorded music, The
Soul Of Ike & Tina Turner was originally released on Sue in 1961. Featuring their
classic singles, "A Fool in Love", and "I Idolize You", this is one of the best R&B
records of the early 60s. After joining his group as a backup singer in 1957, it soon
became clear that Tina Turner's (then Ann Bullock, or Little Ann) talent and charisma
were better suited for the spotlight, and by 1960 the group had changed names to the
Ike & Tina Turner Revue. An essential record for any fans of Tina Turner or early 60s
R&B, truly a barnburner!

WLV 82099 [soundtrack] MILES DAVIS : LIFT TO THE SCAFFOLD LP 06.2018

French musicians. Here you have it as a reasonably priced vinyl reissue.

Heart Belongs to Me" and "Let Me Go the Right Way", none of which were chart smashes
but have since become regarded as classics. Full of that early Motown sound the world

Mance Lipscomb - born Beau De Glen Lipscomb near Navasota, Texas in 1895, and nicknamed
Mance (short for emancipation) by a childhood friend - was an incredible guitarist and
blues singers who didn't make a recording until the age of 65. Discovered during the
folk and blues revival of the late '50s and early '60s Lipscomb would record regularly
until his death in 1976 at the age of 80. A tenant farmer for most of his life,
Lipscomb was the son of a former slave father and half-Choctaw Indian mother. He began
playing guitar early in his life and spent most of his life performing at "Saturday
night suppers" hosted by local friends or, often, by himself and his wife. After his
discovery, Lipscomb would go on to perform at the first ever Monterey Folk Festival
in 1963 as well as at numerous clubs of the folk-revival, most notable The Ash Grove
in Los Angeles. Collected here are his earliest recordings, from 1960, and they are
some of the most beautiful and transcendent of Texas folk-blues. Crucial recordings
from one of the greatest individual voices of the folk and blues revival.

Huddie William Ledbetter, better known to the world as Leadbelly, was one of the
most celebrated guitarists and vocalists of 20th century American music. He introduced
the world to many traditional folk and gospel songs and his versions remain some of
the most well known and beautiful ever cut to tape. Born on a plantation in Louisiana
in 1888, Leadbelly got his start as a teenager performing in the red-light district
of Shreveport. "Discovered" by the legendary folklorists John and Alan Lomax while
Leadbelly was serving time in Angola state prison for attempted murder. They recorded
him while in prison and in 1934, at the age of 46, made these recordings, the first
commercial recordings of his career. Featuring a wide repertoire of folk and blues
songs along with his powerful voice and unique guitar style, these tracks are absolute
cornerstones of American folk and blues music and some of the greatest tracks he ever
cut.

Blind Boy Fuller, from Wadesboro, North Carolina, was one of the originators and most
famous progenitors of what's known as the Piedmont Style of blues music, characterized
by rhythmic bass lines played by the thumb while the melody is fingerpicked, resulting
in a sound similar to ragtime. Though he lived only until the age of 40, Fuller
recorded extensively from 1935-1940 and the recordings collected here are some of
his most famous ever. Essential blues on Wax Love from one of the greatest talents
of the Southeast.

the historical meeting between Genius Ray Charles and the wonderful Betty Carter,
one of the greatest female Jazz singers of all times. A powerful duet combination
with Ray's deep-sweet tone in almost sensual relation with Carter's highly pitched
and energetic vocals. The two literally fly on top of a series of sophisticated string
arrangements and some highly swinging big band charts. Among the players are some of
Ray's close collaborators such as reed men Hank Crawford and David "Fathead" Newman.

saxophonist took the chance to lead a quartet session with the Davis rhythm section,
a hard swinging combo with pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist extraordinaire Paul Chambers

05. BIRD FOOD
06. UNA MUY BONITA
07. CHANGE OF THE CENTURY
The second album by Ornette Colemans legendary quartet featuring Don Cherry, Charlie
Haden, and Billy Higgins, Change of the Century is every bit the equal of the
monumental The Shape of Jazz to Come, showcasing a group that was growing ever more
confident in its revolutionary approach and the chemistry in the bandmembers
interplay.
When Coleman concentrates on melody, his main themes are catchier, and when the pieces
emphasize group interaction, the improvisation is freer. Two of Colemans most memorable
classic compositions are here in their original forms -- "Ramblin" has all the swing
and swagger of the blues, and "Una Muy Bonita" is oddly disjointed, its theme stopping
and starting in totally unexpected places. An American free-jazz classic from one of
the biggest names in the genre.

The great Bassist and band leader Charles Mingus cut some of his most exciting and
rewarding recordings in 1960. Taped during the apex of Mingus creativity, shortly
after masterstroke Mingus Ah Um, just before his brilliant Oh Yeah, and in the same
year as the classic Blues & Roots, this incredible session showcase such stars as
Eric Dolphy, Roy Eldridge, and Tommy Flanagan. Mingus' arrangements are, as always,
top notch with an unparalleled understanding of space and melody, and the playing is
without doubt up to his standards. Mingus is one of the greatest jazz minds of the
20th Century and these sessions are another fine example of his genius.

Dorothy Ashby was perhaps not Detroit's most famous female jazz harpist as that
distinction belongs to Alice Coltrane but she was notably the first and a trailblazer
who overcame massive setbacks throughout her nearly 30 year recording career. Playing
on an instrument not usually associated with jazz, in a male dominated field, Ashby
is a true and amazing original. Originally released in 1962, and with the help of
a rhythm section of Herman Wright on bass and John Tooley on drums, Dorothy Ashby
is one of her earliest titles as a leader and a beautiful piece of innovative mid
century jazz. A mix of originals and tastefully selected covers like Ellington's
"Satin Doll" and Neal Hefti's "Li'l Darlin'" this is another lost jazz classic
resuscitated by Wax Love.

WLV 82113 CHARLES MINGUS : RIGHT NOW-LIVE AT JAZZ WORKSHOPS LP 03.2019
01. NEW FABLES
02. MEDITATION (FOR A PAIR OF WIRE CUTTERS)
With Clifford Jordan on tenor, John Handy on alto, Jane Getz on piano, and Dannie
Richmond on drums, Charles Mingus went into San Francisco and whipped up a storm.
This LP contains two compositions over 23-minutes each: "New Fables" and "Meditation
(For A Pair Of Wire Cutters)." "New Fables" features a ten-minute solo from Jordan,
some fine ensemble work, and a solo encounter from Handy. Mingus changes the mood
he sees fit, and one would describe these different styles as avant-garde (in 1964),
blues, flamenco, and straight-ahead jazz. Handys work is stirring, deeply imaginative,
technically thrilling, and a harbinger of what was to come the following year at
Monterey. In "Meditations" Mingus bowing the bass in the cello range with that certain
sad quality, Jane Getz playing loose, free, and exciting, much as she does today, and
a moment where Mingus joins Getz for a fourhanded piano romp. The piece is a flowing
ballad, but there are constant changes throughout(...) (allaboutjazz).

04. THE NIGHT HAS A THOUSAND EYES
05. BROWNSKIN GIRL
While so much attention is paid to his titles on Blue Note, Contemporary, and Prestige,
Sonny Rollins' RCA sessions from the early '60s are some of his finest sessions and
they don't get nearly the attention they deserve. In 1962 alone he released two classic
titles, The Bridge and this album, What's New? Featuring Jim Hall on guitar and Candido
on percussion among other heavy hissing session musicians, What's New? is particularly
remarkable for the Rollins' originals including the blazing, Latin influenced "Jungoso"
which features one of the most forceful solos of his career. A beautiful bossa-inspired
bit of early '60s jazz that stands tall among the catalog of one of the true pillars
of the tenor saxophone.

WLV 82115 JOHN COLTRANE MY FAVOROTE THINGS LP 03.2019
01. MY FAVORITE THINGS
02. EVERYTIME WE SAY GOODBYE
03. SUMMERTIME
04. BUT NOT FOR ME
Credit for this album is partially due to Miles Davis, who had somewhat recently
purchased Coltrane his first soprano saxophone, previously it had been little used
in jazz. This 1961 album also seems to fully mark Coltrane's transformation into
modal jazz, another Davis influence, and his modal take on the the classic standard,
"My Favorite Things", from The Sound Of Music soundtrack, remains one of the more
iconic jazz songs in history. Rounded out by 3 more standards, performed in modal
interpretations that completely redefined the meaning of a "standards" album, My
Favorite Things, is one of the many transcendent jazz albums the legendary John
Coltrane is responsible for.

10. TOO MARVELOUS FOR WORDS
11. WILLOW WEEP FOR ME
12. I THOUGHT ABOUT YOU
Though her late career was marred by addiction and personal issues, and her chipper
voice had grown raspy and hardened by the years and the pain, Lady Sings The Blues
has come to be regarded as one of the finest albums of her career, despite a lack of
critical enthusiasm at the time. Originally released in 1956, concurrently with her
autobiography, Holiday was joined for these sessions by tenor saxophonist Paul
Quinichette, trumpeters Charlie Shavers and Harry Edison, pianist Wynton Kelly, and
guitarists Kenny Burrell and Barney Kessel. A beautiful, smoky, and slow-burning
piece of jazz vocal history. Essential.

The king of West Coast Jazz caught in Milan during his first European trip. The band
assembled for these sessions features some of the best Italian Classic Jazz musicians
of the time. The basic quartet includes Chet Baker (trumpet) Renato Sellani (piano)
Franco Cerri (bass) and Gene Victory (drums). However, that unit is often upgraded to
a sextet with Glauco Masetti (alto sax) and Gianno Basso (tenor sax). The cool spirit
of Baker's music lives through some inspired fluid performances of American Bop
classics such as Miles Davis' "Tune Up" and Charlie Parker's "Cheryl Blues."

Grant Green, pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Philly Joe
Jones - this set includes 4 Mobley originals and a smoky version of "The Best Things
In Life Are Free." Essential.

06. SWEET SIXTEEN BARS

Ray Charles' 1957 album The Great Ray Charles is his second long player for the
legendary Atlantic Records. An instrumental jazz album, it was released 2 years before
Charles became an international superstar with the hit recording "What'd I Say".
Though Charles was already nearly a decade deep into his recording career he'd yet
to have a massive hit and was a difficult artist to pin down as his tastes ranged
from jazz to pop to R&B. Featuring longtime band member David "Fathead" Newman and
with help from the arranging and songwriting genius Quincy Jones, this is a beautiful,
swinging, and laid-back jazz album necessary for any fans of Ray.

02. WHEN I GROW TOO OLD TO DREAM
03. MINOR CHANT
04. MESSY BESSIE
The Incredible Jimmy Smith, one of jazz music's most popular artists of all-time,
recorded this classic piece of swinging and soulful organ grooves in 1960 with the
help of longtime bandmates Stanley Turrentine on sax, Kenny Burrell on guitar, and
Donald Bailey on drums. One of his catchiest early titles, this is pure party music,
the perfect compliment to a summer BBQ with a cold beer.

05. BROWN BABY
06. ZUNGO

08. CHILDREN GO WHERE I SEND YOU
Nina Simone is one of those rare artists whose greatest work might have been her live
recordings. A consummate interpreter of other's songs, it was on live recordings that
she really stretched out her sound and truly found her most powerful voice. This 1962
live recording was her 3rd live album for Colpix and the loose, swinging trio that
backs her perfectly compliment her versions of classics like "House of the Rising
Sun", "Bye Bye Blackbird", and Olatunji's "Zungo". A perfect live recording from one
of the masters.

08. ISN'T THIS A LOVELY DAY?
1958's Music For Torching With Billie Holiday is the quintessential torch singer
album. Sultry, smoky, and nearly perfect, this is the great Billie Holiday at her
absolute peak. Featuring the subtle and perfectly complimentary work of guitarist
Barney Kessel, pianist Jimmy Rowles, and trumpeter Harry Edison, with an amazing
cover from the legendary David Stone Martin, this is one of the greatest jazz vocal
albums of all-time, beautifully repressed by Wax Love.

1962's Johnny a l'Olympia is Johnny Hallyday's first live album and features "The
French Elvis" near the peak of his early popularity. Though he's still largely unknown
outside of the Francophone world, his pure rock and roll voice and charismatic
personality win over new fans worldwide every day. The Jimi Hendrix Experience opened
for him, he's hung with Dylan and played with Page and Frampton, and he was married
for years to famous chanteuse Sylvie Vartan. This live album is the perfect
introduction to Hallyday or an essential piece if you're already a fan. Killer post
-Elvis rock and roll from a true legend.

Brubeck Time is a jazz album by The Dave Brubeck Quartet, a rare studio recording
from that period of the band, when it was recording mostly live albums.[3] It was
recorded in the fall of 1954, and originally released in 1955 under the Columbia
label as CL 622. The album features one of the earlier Quartet lineups, with Bob
Bates on bass and Joe Dodge on drums. Although now not as famous as some of the band's
other albums, in retrospect it has a lot of depth, and those interested in jazz will
find it "certainly worth acquiring".

Jazz big band and of course the highly energetic Raelettes.

Herbie Hancock's stunning debut album was released by Blue Note in 1962. Hancock's
modern and dynamic form of Jazz takes off from here, with the young pianist leading
a marvelous All-star quintet including Freddie Hubbard - trumpet, Dexter Gordon
- tenor sax, Butch Warren - double bass and Billy Higgins - drums. The album contains
Watermelon Man, Hancock's first big hit, the one we all know as a classic standard
in the history of Jazz and popular music. In one word: Essential!

(bass) and Louis Hayes (drums), plus Curtis Fuller (trombone) Ali Jackson (bass)
Howard Williams (piano) and Art Taylor (drums) on couple of tracks. in 1958 Coltrane
was deeply exploring the Hard Bop idiom, that's when the saxophonist was still playing
around with Monk and Davis and just before he would begin leading his own groups.
A fine document!

The music conceived by Miles Davis and Gil Evans between 1949 and 1950, and released
in 1957 on Capitol records marks an important new step in Jazz. Featuring an unusual
line up and innovative classical oriented arrangements, this historical album
represents the birth of a new form of Jazz. For the occasion Davis and Evans display
a stellar nonet including, among others, Lee Konitz (alto sax), Gerry Mulligan
(baritone sax), John Lewis (piano) and Max Roach (drums). The result was an
unprecedented and highly sophisticated form of music which would be subsequently
called "Cool Jazz".

An interesting and quite obscure 1957 album from the Dave Brubeck quartet featuring
alto sax giant Paul Desmond, bassist Bob Dates and the great Joe Morello on drums.
Here one of the most famous groups in the history of Jazz is augmented by tenor
saxophonist Dave Van Kreidt. All the music is composed by Van Kreidt and the overall
sound is very different from the classic Brubeck set up. This is some sort of
classical influenced West Coast Jazz and unlike anything else in the Dave Brubeck
discography.

WLV 82130 MAX ROACH : We Insist! Max Roach's Freedom Now Suite LP 11.2019
Wax Love present a reissue of Max Roach's We Insist!, originally released in 1960.
Roach's 1960 masterwork We Insist! is a suite based on the Civil Rights Movement,
and involves variations on the theme of the struggle for African Americans to achieve
equality in the United States, a struggle that is still all too relevant. Roach began
composing with lyricist Oscar Brown Jr. in 1959, with the initial intention of having
the suite performed in 1963, on the 100th anniversary of The Emancipation Proclamation.
Featuring the wonderful Abbey Lincoln on vocals, as well as Booker Little, Julian
Priester, Coleman Hawkins, Olatunji, and more, We Insist! is a truly stunning album,
one that knows no equal from that time or since.

WLV 82131 MILES DAVIS CONCEPTION LP 11.2019
Following the 1949 and 1950 recordings compiled on Birth Of The Cool (1957), which
created the sub-genre of cool jazz, Miles Davis had already moved onto the next thing,
because that's what an innovator does. By 1951 he was recording hard bop of the
highest order on a variety of formats, including 10" and 7". This LP compiles a number
of those recordings, and the fact that the entire record was recorded on one day,
October 5, 1951, would be surprising if it weren't the one and only Miles Davis.
Featuring Art Blakey, Sonny Rollins, Walter Bishop, Jr., Tommy Potter, and Jackie
McLean in his very first recording session, this is classic '50s Miles Davis.

WLV 82132 THELONIOUS MONK : THE UNIQUE THELONIOUS MONK LP 11.2019
Wax Love present a reissue of the seven-song The Unique Thelonious Monk, originally
released in 1956. The release was the pianist's second during his remarkable five-year
tenure on Riverside. His debut for the label was the aptly titled Plays Duke Ellington
(1955) and once again, on this disc, Thelonious Monk's song selection did not feature
any original compositions. Rather, the well-chosen standards included exemplify and
help further establish the pianist and bandleader within the context of familiar
melodies at the head of a trio -- consisting of Oscar Pettiford (bass) and Art Blakey
(drums). Regarding the personnel, while Pettiford had also accompanied Monk on the
Ellington sides, Blakey replaces Kenny Clarke. The pairing of Monk and Blakey cannot
be overstated. Immediately, evidence of their uncanny instrumental interaction is the
rhythmic focal point of "Liza, All the Clouds'll Roll Away" as the two play musical
cat-and-mouse. They cajole and wheedle atop Pettiford's undulating undercurrent as it
sonically corals their skilled syncopation and otherwise inspired mile-a-minute
interjections. This is starkly contrast to the haunting, lyrical piano solo on
"Memories Of You". Monk infuses the piece with such profound ingenuity and integrity
that his re-evaluation and innovative arrangement are singularly and undeniably his
own.

WLV 82133 WANDA JACKSON ROCKIN' WITH WANDA! LP 11.2019
Wax Love present a reissue of Wanda Jackson's Rockin' With Wanda!, originally released
in 1960. Absolutely the best collection of Wanda Jackson's rockabilly recordings,
including her key 1956-1960 singles -- "Fujiyama Mama", "Mean Mean Man", "Hot Dog!
That Made Him Mad", and others. Rockin' With Wanda! is a leading candidate for the
best female rock & roll album of the 1950s.

WLV 82134 MILES DAVIS : MONTEREY JAZZ FESTIVAL 1963 LP 11.2019
Recorded September 20, 1963, at the Monterey Jazz Festival, this set featured Miles
Davis's new quintet, with George Coleman, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, and Tony
Williams. This group, minus Coleman and with the addition of Wayne Shorter, would
soon go on to make some of the most highly regarded jazz LPs of all time. This smoking
set features a wonderful rendition of "So What", among others. Essential live jazz
classic.
