Them Talk (Personnel: Jay Bellerose, David Piltch, Greg Leisz, Patrick Warren, Kevin Breit, Greg Allman, Solomon
Burke, Robert Plant, KD Lang, T-Bone Burnett, Alison Krause, John Legend) [2010] 2011 debut album from the
British actor, comedian and musician best known for playing the title role in the television series House. A glorious
celebration of New Orleans Blues, ‘Let Them Talk’ unites Laurie’s musical talent with a very personal selection of
standards and lost Blues classics performed with his band of renowned musicians and some very special guest stars.
Produced by Joe Henry and recorded at sessions in Los Angeles and New Orleans, ‘Let Them Talk’ sees Laurie on
vocals and piano heading a team of musicians whose previous collective credits include work with artists as varied
as Greg Allman, Solomon Burke, Robert Plant, KD Lang, T-Bone Burnett, Alison Krause and John Legend. Together, they interpret and revive songs
originally recorded by NOLA Blues legends such as Leadbelly, Robert Johnson, Ray Charles and Memphis Slim. [Item Code: 72676 CD: $19.00]

Was I Born? • Big Paul • Winner’s Circle: If I’m Lucky • Turtle Walk (Collective Personnel: Wilbur Harden, Curtis Fuller, Coleman Hawkins, Mal
Waldron, Tommy Flanagan, Thelonious Monk, Kenny Burrell, Wilbur Ware, Paul Chambers, Art Blakey, More) [1957-1958] 2-CD set. Four
albums that show Trane in his more formative years playing as leader and sideman. The first album with the unique
composer and piano genius Thelonious Monk includes some of the most compelling music with horns that Monk
ever made. Trane plays humbly almost in deference to the great man. On the often underrated ‘Cattin’, Trane is in
a more relaxed mood alongside tenorman Paul Quinichette as the two horn men discover common ground with
a light, joyous feel to their music. Another adventure for Trane, this time he is the sideman to trumpeter and fleugelhornist
Wilbur Harden on ‘Jazz Way Out’. The session takes on an air of experimentation featuring three superb
extended improvisational pieces. Harden, who came to the jazz worlds attention via his stint in the unusual sounding
Yusef Lateef Quintet, is joined by important new faces, Curtis Fuller on trombone, Tommy Flanagan on piano,
Ali Jackson on bass and Art Taylor on drums and of course Trane on tenor. Completing the four albums, Trane joins
Kenny Burrell in 1958. Trane is in a more restless mood, however Burrell’s calming influence seems to be having an
effect on such stand out tracks as the beautifully shaded duet on ‘Why Was I Born’. All four albums plus two tracks
from the album ‘Winner’s Circle’ have been digitally re-mastered for probably the finest sound quality ever. [Item

1027 WES MONTGOMERY THREE CLASSIC ALBUMS PLUS - THE WES MONTGOMERY TRIO - MONT-
GOMERYLAND - THE INCREDIBLE JAZZ GUITAR Round Midnight • Yesterdays • The End Of A Love Affair •
Whisper Not • Ecaroh • Satin Doll • Missile Blues • Too Late Now • Jingles• Monk’s Shop • Summertime • Falling
In Love With Love • Renie • Far Wes • Leila • Old Folks • Wes’ Tune • Airegin • D-Natural Blues • Polka Dots And
Moonbeams • Four On Six • West Coast Blues • In Your Own Sweet Way • Mister Walker • Gone With The Wind
• Movin’ Along • Tune-Up • I Don’t Stand A Ghost Of A Chance With You • Body And Soul • So Do It • Says You
(Collective Personnel: Pony Poindexter, Harold Land, Buddy Montgomery, Victor Feldman, Tommy Flanagan, Melvin
Rhyne, Sam Jones, Monk Montgomery, Percy Heath, Louis Hayes, More) [1958-1960] 2-CD set. The original
liner notes for ‘Trio’ describe how label owner Orrin Keepnews was urged by Cannonball Adderley and a review
by composer, musician and critic Gunther Schuller to check out an ‘extraordinarily spectacular unbearably exciting’
young guitarist by the name of Wes Montgomery. ‘Trio’ is now becoming hard to find on CD. For ‘Montgomeryland’, Wes’ self taught style had
much in common with that of John Coltrane and Sonny Rollins in that instead of the flowing style of Charlie Christian, his was of a more jabbing,
fierce intensity, attacking the instrument in the same way the two saxophonists attacked their horns. ‘The Incredible Jazz Guitar’ is arguably the
best Montgomery album available and there are moments during this fine album where Wes really does sound like ‘The Master’. Finally, there are
six tracks from ‘Movin Along’ from a ‘phenomenal and drastically original guitarist’. By the end of 1960 Wes Montgomery had (seemingly albeit
reluctantly) firmly established himself on the jazz scene and was now quite literally ‘Movin Along’. [Item Code: 66968 2-CD: $19.00]

Oscar Peterson, Ray Bryant, Wynton Kelly, Herb Ellis, Ray Brown, Tom Bryant, Charlie Persip, Stan Levey, Louis
Bellson, More) [1954•1956-1957] 2-CD set. Four classic early recordings from the trumpet genius. From the
1956 album, ‘For Musicians Only’ - it is a real blow out session featuring two 12-plus minute assaults in ‘Be-Bop’
and ‘Dark Eyes’, as Dizzy gets stuck in with Sonny Stitt and Stan Getz. A year later ‘Sonny Side Up’ teams Dizzy with
the two sax legends, Sonny Stitt and Rollins, for another combative session where Dizzy is refereeing with his usual
aplomb. From 1954 is a second helping of ‘Roy & Diz’ for some top flight jazz as the two trumpet titans lock horns
again, their competitive edge creating some fine jazz of lasting quality. Finally, there is ‘Dizzy In Greece’, which
formed part of Dizzy’s World Statesman Tour sponsored by the US State Department which saw jazz becoming a
worldwide force of goodwill. The band reached its peak in Athens. Please note ‘For Musicians Only’ and ‘Dizzy In
Greece’ are only available as high priced imports. ‘Roy & Diz #2’ is also becoming a hard to find on CD. [Item
