The Daily Dig

Recorded for Impulse! in 1961, this is Max Roach at his most expansive and most confrontational. The lineup alone could fill a jazz history book: trumpeter Booker Little, trombonist Julian Priester, Eric Dolphy on sax and flute, pianist Mal Waldron, and Clifford Jordan on tenor. Abbey Lincoln — Roach's artistic and spiritual partner — tears through the sharpest passages with a rawness that hits the nerve directly. Reissued by Verve Vault Series from fresh analog masters on 180g vinyl.

1961 年在 Impulse! 錄下的作品，是 Max Roach 格局最開闊、張力最逼人的一張。陣容拉出小號手 Booker Little、長號手 Julian Priester、吹薩克斯風與長笛的 Eric Dolphy、鋼琴手 Mal Waldron 與次中音薩克斯風 Clifford Jordan，隨便一個名字都能在爵士史上寫本自傳。身為藝術與靈魂伴侶的歌手 Abbey Lincoln，以戲劇張力極強的演繹為最尖銳的段落注入直擊神經的撕裂感。此次 Verve Vault Series 以全新類比母帶重製，180 克重磅黑膠。

Anyone paying attention knows Dorothy Ashby did something extraordinary with the harp — running it through R&B, world music, and back into root-level funk. This one is improbably danceable, the kind of record that lifts a whole funk/soul set, full of gorgeous global textures and deep natural groove alongside its gentler passages. Covers, two Brazilian-flavored originals and two of her own compositions, showing off both her harp technique and her bongo playing.

Gitaiya is photographer Masafumi Sanai paired with musician Keiichi Sokabe; this November 2025 album gets its first vinyl pressing.

Sokabe's thick, emotive singing stains it all with something wistful and vivid. Pressed on clear mint-green vinyl with a lyric booklet and an oversized double-sided poster, in a limited run.
