Now! Hear! by Andy And The Bey Sisters, released on Prestige in 1964

Review by Michael G. Nastos

Expressive vocalists hook up with Jerome Richardson (sax and flute), Kenny Burrell (guitar) for expansive treatments of jazz.

I love that the first lines of the liner notes for this LP from 1964 by Joel Dorn are

"We live in the age of the computer,. We have been area coded, zip coded and IBMed to the nth degree"

The Dissection and Reconstruction of Music From the Past as Performed by the Inmates of Lalo Schifrin's Demented Ensemble as a Tribute to the Memory of the Marquis De Sade is a 1966 studio album by Lalo Schifrin.

The AllMusic review by Richard S. Ginell awarded the album three stars and said that "This crackpot title...is a front for a not-so-dangerous, hard-swinging album in which Schifrin invents or borrows 18th-century classical themes and sets them into big band or small-combo contexts. With the cream of New York's jazz session men of the '60s on board...jazz buffs will have a fine time with this collision of the centuries, which leans heavily to the jazz side"... - Wikipedia

Presenting Thad Jones/Mel Lewis & the Jazz Orchestra Review by Scott Yanow

The debut recording of the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra launched a mighty (if part-time) all-star big band. With arrangements by Jones, Bob Brookmeyer, and Tom McIntosh and such soloists as baritonist Pepper Adams, pianist Hank Jones, valve trombonist Brookmeyer, Jerome Richardson on various reeds, altoist Jerry Dodgion, and Joe Farrell and Eddie Daniels on tenors (in addition to flügelhornist Jones), it is not surprising that the orchestra was soon rated near the top. Among the seven selections are four Thad Jones originals (including "Mean What You Say"), "Willow Weep for Me," and Brookmeyer's lengthy "ABC Blues."

Wave is the fifth studio album by Brazilian jazz musician Antônio Carlos Jobim, released in 1967 on A&M Records. Recorded in the US with mostly American musicians,

Wave was arranged and conducted by Claus Ogerman, and features jazz musicians including trombonists Urbie Green and Jimmy Cleveland, flautist Jerome Richardson, and bassist Ron Carter, as well as a string section. Photographer Pete Turner created the solarized cover photo of a giraffe.

Chris May, in a review on All About Jazz, said Claus Ogerman's simple string arrangements added to the "modern appeal" through "vivid evocation of a long-gone time and place." - Wikipedia

The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady is a studio album by Charles Mingus. It was recorded on January 20, 1963, and released in July of that year by Impulse! Records. The album comprises a single continuous composition—partially written as a ballet—divided into four tracks and six movements. It is widely regarded as one of the greatest jazz records of all time.

Bob Hammer was co-orchestrator and arranger for the album. In the book The Penguin Jazz Guide: The History of the Music in the 1000 Best Albums, Sue Mingus says: "In some fashion, Charles absorbed Bob Hammer's rehearsal band for a six-weeks gig he had at the Village Vanguard in 1963, which provided a unique opportunity to work out, night after night, one of his greatest compositions, The Black Saint and The Sinner Lady.".. - Wikipedia

Can't Buy a Thrill is the debut studio album by American rock band Steely Dan, released in November 1972, by ABC Records. It was written by band members Walter Becker and Donald Fagen, and recorded in August 1972 at the Village Recorder in Los Angeles with producer Gary Katz...

The title of the album is a reference to the opening line of the Bob Dylan song "It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry".The album cover features a photomontage by Robert Lockart. It includes images of muscle-men and a line of prostitutes (standing in Rue du Gros-Horloge in Rouen, France),[citation needed] waiting for clients, which was chosen because of its relevance to the album title..

...Robert Christgau ... said he found the lyrics "oblique, even philosophical [...] as befit a band named after a dildo in a William Burroughs novel.. - Wikipedia
