 | George Russell: Ezz-thetics (CD: Riverside Keepnews Collection)
George Russell is listed in the Encyclopedia of Jazz as "composer, piano, educator" and all of these are accurate descriptions of this dynamic musical revolutionary. But in the early Sixties he also spent some exciting years as a bandleader, presenting his Lydian and pan-tonal concepts in action and helping vitally in the rise to prominence of two significant innovators of the period: Eric Dolphy and Don Ellis. Both men play major roles in this 1961 album by probably the best of Russell's small groups, which includes one of Dolphy's most lasting celebrated recorded efforts--his astonishing bass clarinet solo on the Thelonious Monk classic, "'Round Midnight."

 | Kenny Cox Contemporary Jazz Quintet: Introducing (CD: Blue Note Connoisseur)
This CD features one of the least typical jazz ensembles in the Blue Note catalog and one of its most critically popular. Kenny Cox is a pianist from Detroit who built his chops on the local scene, backing up visiting touring artists and hitting the road for three years with Etta Jones. Blue Note A&R head and pianist Duke Pearson heard about Kenny and The Contemporary Jazz Quintet via a Detroit disc jockey. He flew there in late 1968 and recorded their first session, tracks 1-6 on this newly-remastered CD. The last tracks on the CD appeared as the group's second LP, Multidirection, recorded in Detroit in November of 1969. (Blue Note Records)

 | Ron Carter: Third Plane (CD: Milestone- US Import)
The trio of pianist Herbie Hancock, bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Tony Williams is jazz history, from their five years together as Miles Davis's rhythm section in 1963-68 to their frequent collaborations together in the recording studio. Carter assembled the three during his days as a Milestone recording artist, at a time when occasional work together in the V.S.O.P. Quintet had sharpened their interactive brilliance. The program chosen includes three of the bassist's own originals and Williams's snappish "Lawra," in addition to the recasting of Miles Davis favorite "Stella by Starlight" as a waltz and Hancock's evocative "Dolphin Dance," all played with a unity of purpose that does indeed elevate the music to another place.

 | Ken McIntyre with Eric Dolphy: Looking Ahead (CD: New Jazz/ Fantasy)
The largely overlooked figure of McIntyre enjoyed his finest hour in the company of Eric Dolphy on this ebulliently sunny set. Few records of 'new jazz' exude such good fun. A strong rhythm section grounded in bebop of Walter Bishop Jr, Sam Jones and Art Taylor drive the conversational altos and flutes of two jazzmen clearly enjoying June 1960. 'Head Shakin' is a notably engaging cut featuring a wonderfully inquiring but swinging Dolphy solo which looks ahead whilst harking back to the blues from earlier decades . Though never as distinctively rarified a voice, the leader contributes his own speech-like statements with much character and beauty. Progressive jazz at its most exuberant.
