Honeypie present a reissue of Les McCann Sings, originally released in 1961. Here's a true West Coast soul-jazz gem originally released on Pacific Jazz. Les McCann's warm and emotional singing shines over some gorgeous big band arrangements signed by the great conductor and bandleader Gerald Wilson. McCann's usual trio with Herbie Lewis on bass and Ron Jefferson on drums is augmented by a phenomenal bunch of West Coast top musicians including clarinetist Buddy Collette, tenor sax lions Charles Lloyd, Teddy Edward, and Harold Land, and two absolute guest stars: tenor sax giant Ben Webster and organ stylist Richard "Groove" Holmes, what else? "Soul-jazz and blues at their best." --All Music

Honeypie present a reissue of The Harold Land Quintet's The Fox, originally released in 1960. Harold Land was one of the greatest West Coast tenor saxophone voices of all time. A strong player rooted in bop language, famous for his role in the legendary Max Roach and Clifford Brown quintet and later as part of another great Los Angeles based combo, such as bassist's Curtis Counce group. The Fox is a 1960 album originally released on the Hifijazz label and reissued by Contemporary in 1969. Here, Land is at the head of a marvelous quintet, some sort of who's-who of the LA jazz scene: Dupree Bolton (trumpet), Elmo Hope (piano), Herbie Lewis (bass), and Frank Butler (drums). Besides the well-known instrumental skills of these musicians, the album displays four superior compositions by the great pianist Elmo Hope and two of Land's originals. Music that combines a deep feeling for the blues and a highly sophisticated West Coast sound approach. "This is high-quality hard bop, easily recommended to fans of straight-ahead jazz." --Scott Yanow, All Music

Honeypie present a reissue of Wilson Simonal's Tem Algo Mais, originally released in 1963. A strong figure in the development of Brazilian pop music, a real superstar in the '60s, a key voice in Rio's soul scene, even though still largely unknown outside South America. In fact, Simonal never fit completely in the dominant bossa nova sound of the period. Tem Algo Mais, originally released in 1963 was his second album, a highly distinctive and very successful formula based on the idea of a marriage between bossa nova, jazz, and stylized orchestral pop arrangements. All without forgetting Simonal's hyper-smooth vocal style, the fruit of old school Brazilian approach, and genuine '60s positive vibes.

Honeypie present a reissue of Dave Pike's Bossa Nova Carnival, originally released in 1962. Here's another beautiful example of the great impact of Brazilian music on American jazz in the '60s. Vibraphonist Dave Pike, mostly known for his work with the likes of Herbie Mann, Bill Evans, and Paul Bley, displays a marvelous sextet performing music of Brazilian composer João Donato. Recorded and released in 1962 on the New Jazz label, and considered one of Pike's essential albums, Bossa Nova Carnival sounds like a perfect combination of Brazilian sensuous flavor and jazz-swing sensibility. Personnel: Dave Pike - vibraphone, marimba; Clark Terry - flugelhorn; Kenny Burrell - guitar; Chris White - bass; Rudy Collins - drums; Jose Paulo - cabasa, banderol.

Honeypie present a reissue of Eddie Jefferson's Letter From Home, originally released on Riverside Records in 1962. Letter From Home was the debut album of jazz vocalist Eddie Jefferson. Often credited as the founder of vocalese, Jefferson wrote memorable lyrics to classic jazz standards including "Parker's Mood", "Lady Be Good", "So What", "Freedom Jazz Dance," and others. Eddie Jefferson is backed here by a bunch of jazz heavyweights, all at the top of their game. Among them: tenor sax masters Johnny Griffin and James Moody, trumpeter Clark Terry, pianists Winton Kelly and Joe Zawinul, bassist Sam Jones, and two hyper swinging drummers, Louis Hayes and Osie Johnson. This is an often underrated vocal jazz album, a hidden gem ready to be unearthed.

Honeypie present a reissue of Sonny Stitt's Still Goes Latin, originally released in 1963. Musically born in the great tradition of Charlie Parker, Sonny Stitt was one of the alto sax giants in Jazz history. Recorded in 1963 and originally released on the Roost label, Stitt Goes Latin catches him at the head of an all-star line-up, a highly distinctive combo in full Latin mood, featuring Thad Jones on trumpet, a young Chick Corea on piano, Larry Gales on bass and a fabulous drums and percussion section with the great Willie Bobo (drums), Carlos "Patato" Valdes (congas, bongos), and Osvaldo "Chihuahua" Martinez (cowbell, maracas). Needless to add that on this fine disc the music flies high through a series of catchy elegant tunes and highly sophisticated and yet infectious Afro-Latin grooves.
