Back in 1980, Weather Report consisted of Wayne Shorter (tenor and soprano sax), Joe Zawinul (keyboards), Jaco Pastorius (bass), Peter Erskine (drums), and Bobby Thomas Jr. (percussion). Often considered as one of the best line ups in the band's history, this was a super tight combo playing with the same energy and power of a big band. The 1980 tour, also known as the "Night Passage" tour, is also remembered for the great visual impact, a large-scale staging including laser and film projections. The Atlanra Fox Theater show sees the band at its peak, performing great renditions of classic tunes such as Zawinul's "Madagascar" and "Fast City," Pastorius' "Three Views of a Secret," and Shorter's "Port of Entry." This is an important live document from the greatest electric jazz band of all times, period!

Miles Davis' historical second quintet with Wayne Shorter (tenor sax), Herbie Hancock (piano), Ron Carter (bass), and Tony Williams (drums).

The opening track, "New Light," is a 16-minute journey of pure joy.

Max Roach, the father of modern jazz drumming, caught in action in Paris, France in 1964. This is one of the few live documents in his 1960s dense activity. Here Roach is at the head of a strong quintet featuring the deep voice of Mrs. Abbey Lincoln and tenor sax giant Clifford Jordan. Starting from an almost all standard repertoire (including gems like Duke Jordan's "Jordu" and Ellington's "Sophisticated Lady") Roach along with Eddie Khan and Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson drive the music with their solid hard swinging pulse. Recorded in Paris, January 18, 1964.

Catch a Fire, the Wailers' first output on the Western market was released in April 1973, and this BBC recording from May was the band's first major radio exposure in the UK. This was an incredible show based on a strong tracklist including several immortal pieces from the early Wailers' repertoire: "Concrete Jungle," "Slave Driver," "Midnight Ravers" and "Get up Stand Up." just to name a few. Needless to add that this was the original line-up of: Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, and Bunny Wailer, plus Earl 'Wya' Lindo on keyboards and the super tight one-drop riddims of Aston and Carlton Barrett respectively on bass and drums.

In 1983 Herbie Hancock's glorious career in jazz (and fusion) experienced a resounding mainstream breakthrough thanks to the extraordinary success of the transcendent "Rockit," a single taken from the Grammy award-winning album Future Shock (1983) that has gone down in history as the first crossover between jazz, hip-hop, and scratching (breakdancers elected it in those years as their world anthem). The piece, in a nearly 11-minute version, is included in the radio-originated live performance culled from a concert that the legendary keyboardist and his band -- including Anton Fier, Bernard Fowler, D.ST., J.T. Lewis, Jeff Bova, and Wayne Brathwaite -- held on July 24, 1984 at the Yomiuriland Open East Theatre in Tokyo: synthesizers and electronics characterize a set that includes versions of other pieces from the Future Shock album (the title track, "Earth Beat," "Autodrive," "Rough"), "Stars In Your Eyes" from Monster (1980) and the final 17 minutes medley of "Crazy Cuts/Chameleon".

The so-called Special Edition was one of the most creative and successful coalitions created by Jack DeJohnette at the exact turn between the '70s and the '80s. A great combination of young talents such as alto sax genius Arthur Blythe, the hyper energetic tenor sax of Chico Freeman, and the super-solid bass lines of Peter Warren, last but not least the hard swinging drumming of DeJohnette, one of the greatest drummers in jazz history. Recorded live at The Famous Ballroom in Baltimore on May 4th 1980 for an NPR broadcast, this awesome performance is based on expanded renditions of two beautiful DeJohnette's compositions, "Zoot Suite" and "One For Eric" both from the group's first ECM release.

Historical and exclusive live performance from the almighty Chicago soul singer, Curtis Mayfield. By 1972 the German TV show Beat Club would let famous artists stretch out and play more than just the usual one or two hits. In this case, Mayfield recorded an hour of music in a TV studio for the producers to select from. Most of this performance was lost in someone's vault for many years. The concert is from early 1972 and predates his masterpiece Superfly. You'll find several tracks from his two earlier acclaimed solo albums as well: Curtis and Roots. An astonishing performance you don't want to miss. Personnel: Curtis Mayfield - guitar, vocals; Craig McCullen - guitar; Joseph "Lucky" Scott - bass; Tyrone McCullen - drums; "Master" Henry Gibson - percussion, congas, bongos.
