PRESTON, BILLY	16 Yr. Old Soul	LP	HONEY PIE RECORDS	HONEY 026LP
$19.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/26/2021 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 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/26/2021 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.

SOARES, ELZA	A Bossa Negra	LP	HONEY PIE RECORDS	HONEY 028LP
$19.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/26/2021 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.

VA	Jazz in Jamaica: The Coolest Cats From The Alpha Boys School	LP	HONEY PIE RECORDS	HONEY 025LP
$19.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/19/2021 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.

This is Herbie Hancock's creature caught live at the Juan-les-Pins Jazz Festival in France on July 21st, 1971. A highly progressive form of modern jazz based on the mix of different elements. Some sort of Afro-electric-funk sound journey where waves of multiple pulsating sounds develop in a continuous alternation between tension and release. A marvelous band for which live performances often show more than studio recordings. Personnel: H. Hancock - piano and Fender Rhodes; Bennie Maupin - saxes, bass clarinet and flute; Eddie Henderson - trumpet; Julian Priester - trombone; Buster Williams - bass; Billy Hart - drums.

DOLLAR BRAND	Plays Sphere Jazz	LP	HONEY PIE RECORDS	HONEY 008LP
$19.50 NOT IN STOCK Honey Pie Records present a reissue of Dollar Brand Plays Sphere Jazz, originally released in 1962.

Recorded in Johannesburg in 1962 and reissued here for the first time on LP, Plays Sphere Jazz is also one of the very first African jazz productions. This is vibrant and emotionally powerful music performed by an extremely inspired trio including Dollar Brand himself on piano and two other historical South-African musicians: Johnny Gertz on bass and Makaya Ntshoko on drums. A great album, rescued from the mists of time almost 60 years later.

JONES SEXTET, PHILLY JOE	Blues For Dracula	LP	HONEY PIE RECORDS	HONEY 014LP
$19.50 IN STOCK Honey Pie Records present a reissue of Philly Joe Jones Sextet's Blues For Dracula, originally released in 1958. Blues For Dracula is the debut album by American jazz drummer Philly Joe Jones which was recorded in 1958 for the Riverside label. A former child tap dancer, Philly Joe Jones was destined to become something of a percussionist. As it was, he became world renowned as the drummer of Miles Davis first great quintet, serving as the rhythm and time keeper of that great outfit between 1955 and 1958. He left for a solo career in 1958. His debut became an instant classic thanks to the title track (written by Johnny Griffin) and the similarly themed cover. The song packs plenty of hard-charging swing and blues-drenched improvisation from cornetist Nat Adderley, trombonist Julian Priester, saxophonist Johnny Griffin, pianist Tommy Flanagan, and bassist Jimmy Garrison. But it's also a cheeky take on the horror-film craze of the 1950s, complete with a Bela Lugosi impersonator who intones with a thick Transylvanian accent, "I'm the Bebop Vampire. I like the song the song to shine!" Thereafter, Philly Joe both led his own groups (he would record a further twelve albums up to 1982) as well as performing as a sideman for a wide variety of musicians including Bill Evans and Hank Mobley.

Close collaborator of saxophone giants such as Charlie Parker, Lester Young, and Coleman Hawkins, and member of Miles Davis's classic quintet. Solar consists of a solid quartet session held in New York on January 30, 1962, and originally released on Jazzland Records in the same year. Garland's quartet consists of Les Spann on guitar (and flute on two tracks), Sam Jones on bass, and Frank Grant on drums. A total of eight tunes split between originals and some underplayed standards such as "Where Are You?" and "The Very Thought of You".

AYERS, ROY	West Coast Vibes	LP	HONEY PIE RECORDS	HONEY 012LP
$19.50 NOT IN STOCK Honey Pie Records present a reissue of Roy Ayers's West Coast Vibes, originally released in 1963. West Coast Vibes consists of Roy Ayers's debut recording session and it can be easily seen as the purest jazz statement of his long career. Recorded in 1963 and still far from his latter-day funk-fusion output, West Coast Vibes is the result of a fine straight-ahead jazz studio session featuring Ayers's vibraphone, Curtis Amy's saxophone, and Jack Wilson's piano, among others. A one-off chance to hear Ayers dealing with standards like Monk's "Well You Needn't" and Parker's "Donna Lee". This is old school west coast jazz at its best.

$19.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/13/2020 Honey Pie Records present a reissue of Nathaniel Mayer's Going Back To The Village Of Love, originally released in 1963. American rhythm 'n' blues singer Nathaniel Mayer (1944-2008) is mostly remembered for his raw vocal timbre and for his particularly wild live act. Originally released in 1963 on Detroit based label Fortune Records, Going Back To The Village Of Love still sounds like an incredibly explosive hyper-energetic irreverent piece of pure Detroit sound.

One of the great figures in the New Orleans music scene and one of the most-recorded drummers ever. His highly dynamic drums style has served hundreds of hitmakers such as Fats Domino, Little Richard, Sam Cooke, Ray Charles, The Beach Boys, Eddie Cochran, Dinah Washington, Dizzy Gillespie, you name it. Drumsville!, originally released on Liberty Records in 1961, features a selection of rare gems produced under his name. Twelve instrumental tracks based on lots of fat horn charts, reverberating guitars, grinding organs, and of course a full catalog of hyper-creative drums beats.

$19.50 IN STOCK 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.

LAND QUINTET, THE HAROLD	The Fox	LP	HONEY PIE RECORDS	HONEY 005LP
$19.50 IN STOCK 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

SIMONAL, WILSON	Tem Algo Mais	LP	HONEY PIE RECORDS	HONEY 007LP
$19.50 NOT IN STOCK 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.

$19.50 NOT IN STOCK 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.

$19.50 IN STOCK 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.

STITT, SONNY	Stitt Goes Latin	LP	HONEY PIE RECORDS	HONEY 001LP
$19.50 IN STOCK 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.
