Elvis Presley Jailhouse Rock Dual Speed. „Jailhouse Rock“ war der Soundtrack zum dritten Elvis Presley Film aus dem Jahr 1957. Im Film spielt Elvis den hitzköpfigen Südstaatler Vince Everett, der unabsichtlich einen Mann tötet und ins Gefängnis muss. Dort findet er die Musik als neuen Weg ins Leben und es wurden gleich fünf Songs speziell für diesen Film geschrieben. Als die Single „Jailhouse Rock“ im Herbst 1957 in den Verkauf kam, blieb sie sieben Wochen Nummer Eins in den USA. Die Veröffentlichung in England im Jahr 1958 bedeutet den ersten Einstieg auf Platz 1 der Charts in der britischen Musikgeschichte.

Die fünf Songs…

Die fünf Songs auf diesem Album wurden ursprünglich nur als sieben Zoll EP mit 45rpm veröffentlicht und verkauften sich in dieser Variante mehr als zwei Millionen Mal. In Reminiszenz hieran erscheint das Audio Fidelity Re-Issue als 12 Zoll EP mit einer Seite mit 33rpm und einer Seite mit 45rpm. Die Neubearbeitung wurde durch Kevin Gray vorgenommen und man muss zweimal hinhören, um zu erkennen, dass es sich um Mono-Material handelt, denn Elvis steht auf einer breiten Bühne und bei „Young and Beautiful“ scheint er geradezu vor der Band zu stehen.

Das Audio Fidelity Re-Issue erscheint in einem mit Klarlack überzogenen Cover als 180g Pressung und dürfte ein Muss für jeden Elvis Fan sein, denn so gut hat man „Jailhouse Rock“ noch nicht gehört.

Titel:
Seite A – 33 1/3rpm:
1. Jailhouse Rock
2. Young and Beautiful
3. I Want to Be Free
4. Don’t Leave Me Now

Elvis Presley Jailhouse Rock EP on Dual Speed 12″ Vinyl from Audio Fidelity

5-Songs Presented on 33 1/3 RPM on the A-Side & 45 RPM on the B-Side!

Appearing for the Very First Time on This Format!

„Jailhouse Rock is Elvis Presley’s third appearance before the movie cameras. An Avon Production released through M-G-M, this film goes far beyond anything Elvis has done to date. Cast in the role of a well-meaning but fiery-tempered young Southerner, Elvis (Vince Everett in the film) finds himself sent to prison after he accidentally kills a man.

The changes wrought by his prison life and his relentless ambition to gain wealth and fame after his release are other aspects of this emotionally charged film. Needless to say, when Vince Everett looks for a means to gain wealth he naturally turns to singing, which gives Mr. Presley an excellent chance to utilize his voice while staying in character.

In this album, taken from the original sound track of the movie, Elvis sings all five of the songs which were written especially for the film. There is the throbbing title song, „Jailhouse Rock,“ which opens the album, followed by „Young and Beautiful,“ „I Want to Be Free,“ „Don’t Leave Me Now,“ and „Baby I Don’t Care, all in the inimitable style of this exceptional young singer and actor, Elvis Presley.“ – album liner notes

This Audio Fidelity release will be a dual speed, 12″ at 150g, 33 1/3 RPM on the A-side and 45 RPM on the B-side. Originally released in the fall of 1957 as a 7″ single, backed with „Treat Me Nice“ and was #1 on the U.S. chart for seven weeks. This is the first time the Jailhouse Rock EP is available on 12″ vinyl in this format. It’s Elvis Presley sounding better than ever and is sure to generate great interest from music collectors and Elvis fans alike!

Joanne Grauner introducing Lorraine Feather. Regrettably Joanne Grauer is listed with only three LPs to her name in encyclopaedias of jazz. The present album on the MPS label is the second, and certainly most sought-after, of this all-round musician. And it is probably Joanne Grauer’s most personal LP, for she was given all the time she needed in the studio together with her friends – and what is more the critic and producer Leonard Feather did not influence her musically in the very least..Even though she did was not totally uninfluenced by Horace Silver, Oscar Peterson and Bill Evans, it was the opportunities offered back in 1977 by the electronic keyboard that opened new doors for Joanne Grauer. But she is certainly not an avant-gardist for melodious sound-colouring is her top priority and she achieved mood music situated somewhere between the classical jazz piano trio and rock-pop sound. Most themes come from Joanne Grauer’s pen, and she is certainly in the foreground as a soloist too. In „See You Later“, „Can’t Sleep“ and „The Voice“, she is joined by the gentle voice of Lorraine Feather, while Ernie Watts’s saxophone provides a powerful, welcome contrast which successfully puts a halt to drifting off into mere melodiousness. Joanne Grauer’s final work on the album, „Frog Child“, is given over to be-bop and makes a wonderful final cadence to a recording which carries all the hallmark of the 70s but still sounds fresh and new in the year 2001.

3. Misty Dreams & Ruffy’s Eyes

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!

Perez Prado and His Orchestra Prez. It could well have been that Peréz Prado regarded his nickname ‚The King of Mambo‘ not only as an honour but also restricting with regard to his ambition to move into big band jazz. Whatever the case, the release of his album with the shortened word ‚Prez‘ as its title shows that the Cuban-born arranger had plenty of self-confidence – it shouldn’t be forgotten that the saxophonist Lester Young, a living legend at that time, held the office of ‚President‘ in 1958.

Cu-Cu-Rru-Cu-Cu-Paloma

In his aspiration to enter the soundworld of the well-established bandleaders and soloists (and this album certainly signals healthy rivalry), Peréz Prado first strolls down the familiar path of Afro-Cuban folkmusic with such numbers as the sawing and gurgling „Maria Bonita“ and the highly descriptive „Cu-Cu-Rru-Cu-Cu-Paloma“. All the more surprising then is the B side which begins with a version of „Lullaby Of Birdland“ which is shaken to the core by hefty conga drum solos. Prado gives us his snappy mambo arrangement of „Flight Of The Bumblebee“, the first jazzed-up version of which was heard to buzz in concert halls in the Forties, performed by the brilliant trumpeter Harry James. Among the numbers are several red-hot big band pieces such as „Leo’s Special“ and „Fireworks“ which has a particularly lively trumpet section with the power to blast the paint off the walls.
All in all this is a recording which combines easy listening with a peppy Latin jazz feeling.

Eartha Kitt That Bad Eartha. Diva, dream woman, or femme fatale? Eartha Kitt was a little of each and certainly did not need to worry about her image. No lesser man than Orson Welles summed up her extraordinary talents in the fields of dancing, singing and performance: for him she was the most exciting woman alive.
„That Bad Eartha“, her second album, which appeared in the same year as her debut record, should doubtless be regarded as her most memorable. Just like the first, it catapulted Eartha into the charts among the ‚top five‘ and contained the most important titles of her entire career such as „I Want To Be Evil“, „My Heart Belongs To Daddy“ and „Under The Bridges Of Paris“ which she sang in two languages. When you listen to her intimate and supple rendering of „C’est Si Bon“, her signature tune, you simply cannot believe that you are listing to an American singer! Each and every one of the twelve numbers is an absolute hit, and so there’s only one conclusion to be made: this lady is missing in the collection. Let’s Do It! Eartha Kitt That Bad Eartha

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!

David Garrett, born in Aachen, Germany to an American prima ballerina and German lawyer, is a classical violinist and recording artist.

When David was four years old, his father bought a violin for his older brother. David took interest and soon learned to play. At the age of five, he won first prize in his first competition. By the age of seven, he was playing once a week in public and studied violin at the Lubeck Conservatoire. 

Garrett studied one semester at the Royal College of Music in London at the age of 17. In 1999, at the age of 19, he moved to New York to attend the Juilliard School, winning the 2003 Composition Competition of Juilliard School with a fugue. While at Juilliard, Garrett studied under world-renowned violinist Itzhak Perlman.

For those who noticed Garrett is as good looking as he is talented, you might be interested to know while studying at Juilliard, he supplemented his income by working as a model.

David Garrett has done much to encourage and entice young people to the genre of classical music. His 2010 release, Rock Symphonies, includes an innovative mashup of U2’s „Vertigo“ with Vivaldi’s Four Seasons while his rendition of Michael Jackson’s „Smooth Criminal“ appears on the 2008 album Encore.

This 2007 release, Virtuoso, includes Garrett’s renditions of „La Califfa“ by Morricone, „Nothing Else Matters“ by Metallica and „The Flight of the Bumble Bee“ by Rimsky-Korsakov.

In dieser neuen Produktion ging es uns darum, eine Art Konzert mit anspruchsvollen Tanzsätzen aufzuzeichnen, wie es in dieser Weise bisher noch nirgends veröffentlicht wurde. Beliebte Walzer und Mazurken von Chopin und ein vergessener Walzer von Liszt durften hier ebenso wenig fehlen, wie weitgehend unbekannte Musik von Smetana, Debussy und Dvořák. 13 Tänze sollen dem Hörer ermöglichen, fast eine Stunden zauberhafter Musik, meisterhaft auf einem wunderbaren Flügel vorgetragen, zu genießen.
