Sam Taylor Saxophone Lady. Developed in the postwar era, Enka is a Japanese music genre, which was popular at one time. Considered to resemble traditional Japanese music stylistically, Enka is also a form of sentimental ballad music, presenting a unique sense of vicissitude among Japanese.

Similar topics are used in the lyric and title of Enka over and over again, such as ocean, liquor, tear, woman, rain, northern land, snow, separation and so on, in order to convey pathos and bitterness between lovers around these topics. Aiming to highlight special flavor and elegant demeanor of Enka, this album is performing with saxophone which is considered to be “the unparalleled romantic instrument”. Therefore, please fully Indulge yourself in the enchanting cooperation of saxophone and Enka.

The Lionel Hampton Quartet. They were known as The Perfect Quartet! And it wasn’t just their producer Norman Granz, surely not unbiased as to the greatness of his jazz musicians, who called them so. So it was only logical to put this Super-Quartet together. Just as the start of his career, the great Oscar Peterson was eager to show off all that he had learned from copying and listening to his maestro Art Tatum; Ray Brown provided swing and bop which he had perfected in Dizzy Gillespie’s big bands; Buddy Rich, billed as ‚the world’s greatest drummer‘, could lend impetus to simply any band; and the grandmaster of the sticks, known as ‚The Hamp‘, could hammer away at the vibraphone just as Benny Goodman before him – full of verve and swing, rhythmic and melodic, ecstatic and sensitive.

The lucky person…

This release on the Clef label, with a fitting cover by David Stone Martin, contains four numbers: two from the Quartet’s first session, and two from the second six months later. All four are an ideal starting point for lengthy improvisations much in the style of the Jazz At The Philharmonic idea, but without winds, just with a rhythm group. Nevertheless, not a single second is dull or boring, and if you were sitting in the audience at the concert you’d be crying out »more, more, more!«.
The lucky person with this re-release in his collection just needs to turn the LP over and set the needle down on the groove for more, more, more!

Recording: September 1953 and April 1954 in New York City

Erwin Lehn Orchestra Color in Jazz. As they say: ŤWonders never ceaseť! Who’d have believed that the disco kids of today would dance to a radio dance orchestra performing big band jazz? The excerpt „Color“ on the „Talkin‘ Loud“ sampler certainly wets one’s appetite for the full eleven minutes with the Erwin Lehn Orchestra. The album’s motto is „Color In Jazz“ and all seven titles of this re-issue are as colourful as a painter’s palette: spicy rhythms in the winds, varied rock and sweet beats, a touch of Latin, lyrical melodies on the flugelhorn, and powerful tuttis are the ingredients mixed together to produce the sound colouring of these compositions by Bernd Rabe (who unfortunately died last year) and Erwin Lehn (an extremely active pensioner)..It would be too simple to simply attach the label „commercial“ to this particular area of big band jazz. „Popular“ would be more appropriate – an epithet which never troubled swing bands in the USA. Hopefully this re-release will attract new fans to the area of big band swing. Just listen to this album, which can easily hold its own against anything coming from America as far as musical and technical quality are concerned, and you’ll be thrilled!
