VA	Jazz in Jamaica: The Coolest Cats From The Alpha Boys School	LP	HONEY PIE RECORDS	HONEY 025LP
$19.50 LOW STOCK LEVEL Talking about the foundation of Jamaican music, the Alpha Boys School in Kingston can be considered as one of the places where it all began. Back in the day, under the direction of Sister Mary Ignatius, the school was the place where young boys from the poor neighborhoods in Kingston could embrace an instrument (mostly brass and drums). Then history tells us that some of these kids became among the most influential musicians in the history of Jamaican jazz, ska, and reggae. Joe Harriott, Dizzy Reece, Tommy McCook, Don Drummond, Cedric Brooks, Rico Rodriguez, Johnny Osbourne, Leroy Smart, and Yellowman are just some of the fruits of such a great community art project. Now this compilation contains some rare gems produced between 1959 and 1962 by Jamaican jazz heavyweights such as Tommy McCook, Don Drummond, Ernest Ranglin, Lennie Hiibert, Cecil Lloyd, and others. This is highly swinging music inspired by the Black American tradition with a unique and inevitable Caribbean flavor. Also features Wilton Gaynair, Lance Hayward, Totlyn Jackson, The Eric Grant Orchestra, Cecil Lloyd Group, The Workshop.

SOARES, ELZA	A Bossa Negra	LP	HONEY PIE RECORDS	HONEY 028LP
$19.50 NOT IN STOCK Honey Pie Records present a reissue of Elza Soares's A Bossa Negra, originally released in 1961. One of the most shocking but ultimately uplifting stories of Brazilian music: Soares grew up in extreme poverty in a favela, at 13 was forced to marry a man who raped her, gave birth to three stillborn children -- but still fought her way to the top of the industry, married Garrincha, lost him to booze and loose women, in addition to their son and her mother in car accidents. And she is still going strong! This is probably her best album and indeed is absolutely lovely, grooves like nothing else. She sings with passion and fire in her lungs like the fabulously versatile singing magician she is. Her husky voice became her trademark. After finishing A Bossa Negra -- her second album -- Elza went to Chile to represent Brazil in the 1962 Football World Cup, where she met with Louis Armstrong personally.

PRESTON, BILLY	16 Yr. Old Soul	LP	HONEY PIE RECORDS	HONEY 026LP
$19.50 IN STOCK Honey Pie Records present a reissue of Billy Preston's 16 Yr. Old Soul, originally released in 1963. "Most listeners only became aware of Billy Preston as a solo artist after he signed to Apple Records in the late 1960s. But he'd been recording for a long time prior to that, dating back to when he was a teenager. This instrumental album for Sam Cooke's SAR label (issued on its sister Derby imprint) was cut in March 1963, when Preston was still going to high school in Los Angeles. The very fact that it's wholly instrumental indicates that it's pretty early in Preston's evolution, and though he does play some piano, it's really on the more up-tempo, organ-dominated tunes where he hits the best groove. In truth, these aren't any great shakes even when it comes to soul organ instrumentals, but they have a nice swinging bounce that places them a cut above period background music, though they fall a good ways short of being spellbinding. The slower numbers (including covers of hits by Sam Cooke and Ray Charles) verge on easy listening; in contrast, the more urgent cuts are cookin', with bop, jazz, and gospel influences spicing up the soul/R&B recipe." --Richie Unterberger (AllMusic)

CLAY, CASSIUS	I Am The Greatest!	LP	HONEY PIE RECORDS	HONEY 027LP
$19.50 LOW STOCK LEVEL Honey Pie Records present a reissue of I Am the Greatest!, a comedy album by boxer Cassius Clay, released in August 1963. Released six months before he won the world heavyweight championship, publicly announced his conversion to Islam, and changed his name to Muhammad Ali. It was released by CBS Columbia. The album helped establish Ali's reputation as an eloquently poetic "trash talker". The album has also been identified as an early example of rap music and a precursor to hip-hop music. The liner notes were written by the American poet Marianne Moore, a longstanding fan of Clay. Clay collaborated on the writing for the album with the comedy writer Gary Belkin, who was listed as producer on the original release. The album idea had been proposed to Clay by the William Morris Agency, and the recording was conducted at Columbia Records' 30th Street New York Studio before an audience of 200 people. Rather than being listed as "tracks", the first 8 entries on the album were listed with "rounds" numbers.
