{"title":"Woody Shaw Vinyl Records","description":"\u003cp\u003eWoody Shaw (1944-1989) was an American jazz trumpeter, flugelhornist, and composer. He was known for his highly influential hard bop style of playing and his innovative approach to jazz improvisation. He released more than 20 albums as a leader, and collaborated with many other prominent jazz musicians.\r\n\r\nShaw's standout albums include Stepping Stones: Live at the Village Vanguard (1978), Rosewood (1977), and Solid (1984). His most well-known songs include “The Moontrane” (1973), “The Changing Scenes” (1978), and “Little Red’s Fantasy” (1984).\r\n\r\nAn interesting fact about Woody Shaw is that he was the first jazz musician to record on the then-new digital audio tape (DAT) technology. He was an early adopter of digital recording, and was the first jazz artist to record an entire album digitally.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"woody-shaw-blackstone-legacy-271014","title":"Woody Shaw – Blackstone Legacy (2xLP, Jazz Dispensary Top Shelf Series)","description":"\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003e Brand New\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShips from: \u003c\/strong\u003e Melbourne\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n\n\n\n\u003cul class=\"tabs\"\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRelease details\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTracklist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs-content\"\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Description tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis one's bound to get you all very excited. Craft Recording's Jazz Dispensary series is honored to announce a vinyl reissue of \u003cem\u003eBlackstone Legacy\u003c\/em\u003e, the 1971 debut from influential trumpeter Woody Shaw. An elusive grail for many cratediggers, this 2LP release marks the first reissue of the album in more than 50 years. Showcasing the musician's virtuosic talents as a bandleader, composer and improviser, this politically charged, postmodern classic also boasts impeccable performances by Gary Bartz, Lenny White, Ron Carter, Bernie Maupin, Clint Houston and George Cables.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eA pioneering figure in modern jazz, Woody Shaw (1944-1989) was revered for his unique harmonic approach and innovative technical abilities on the trumpet. Raised in Newark, NJ, Shaw began performing as a teenager, gaining formative experience as a sideman for the legendary saxophonist Eric Dolphy and spending over a year in Paris, where he honed his craft in clubs across Europe. In the mid-'60s, Shaw returned to the US, where he worked alongside such greats as Horace Silver, McCoy Tyner, Chick Corea, Andrew Hill, Max Roach and Art Blakey. By the turn of the decade, however, Shaw was eager to branch out on his own.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eBalancing the past with the future, Shaw sought to honor his bebop roots, while embracing the avant-garde. His debut as a leader, Blackstone Legacy, embodied that stylistic bridge. Recorded in December 1970 and released the following year on Contemporary Records, the album featured some of the era's most exciting talents, including funk-jazz icon Gary Bartz (alto and soprano saxophone), veteran bassist Ron Carter and fusion pioneer Lenny White (drums), plus such innovators as Bernie Maupin (tenor saxophone, bass clarinet) and Clint Houston (electric bass), as well as the esteemed keyboardist George Cables, whose work as a composer is also highlighted on two of the LP's tracks (\"Think On Me\" and \"New World\").\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn the album's liner notes, Shaw spoke to Hentoff about his intentions behind the record.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\"We're trying to express what's happening in the world today as we — a new breed of young musicians — feel it. I mean the different tensions in the world, the ridiculous war in Vietnam, the oppression of poor people in this, a country of such wealth. . . . We're all also trying to reach a state of spiritual enlightenment in which we're continually aware of what's happening but react in a positive way. The music in this album, you see, expresses strength — confidence that we'll overcome these things.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eShaw added that the album was dedicated to the era's youth, as well as to \"the freedom of Black people all over the world.\" He continued, \"The ‘stone' in the title is the image of strength. I grew up in a ghetto . . . I've seen all of that, and I've seen people overcome all of that. This music is meant to be a light of hope, a sound of strength and of coming through.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWoody Shaw's groundbreaking free jazz album reissued!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlackstone Legacy, 1971 debut from the influential jazz trumpeter!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAAA mastered from the original tape by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e180-gram LP pressed at RTI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGatefold tip-on jacket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes Nat Hentoff's original liner notes, which include commentary by Shaw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n    \n\n    \u003c!-- Genres --\u003e\n    \n      \u003cp\u003eGenre: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/jazz-music-vinyl-records\"\u003eJazz\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/woody-shaw-vinyl-records\"\u003eWoody Shaw\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel: \u003c\/strong\u003e Contemporary Records\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 2\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vinyl-records-store-australia\/country_worldwide\"\u003eWorldwide\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/jazz-music-vinyl-records\"\u003eJazz\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/avant-garde-jazz\"\u003eAvant-Garde Jazz\u003c\/a\u003e, \n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-jazz\"\u003eContemporary Jazz\u003c\/a\u003e, \n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/fusion\"\u003eFusion\u003c\/a\u003e, \n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/hard-bop\"\u003eHard Bop\u003c\/a\u003e\n          \n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eA Blackstone Legacy\u003cbr\u003eB1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Woody+Shaw+Think+On+Me\"\u003eThink On Me\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Woody+Shaw+Lost+And+Found\"\u003eLost And Found\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eC New World\u003cbr\u003eD1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Woody+Shaw+Boo-Ann's+Grand\"\u003eBoo-Ann'S Grand\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eD2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Woody+Shaw+A+Deed+For+Dolphy\"\u003eA Deed For Dolphy\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Contemporary Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41677162479681,"sku":"4078561","price":60.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1474\/5258\/files\/ACONC_520__180735__07282023030748-7412.jpg?v=1782242569"},{"product_id":"joe-henderson-woody-shaw-jazz-patterns-321538","title":"Joe Henderson, Woody Shaw – Jazz Patterns","description":"\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003e Brand New\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShips from: \u003c\/strong\u003e Melbourne\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n\n\n\n\u003cul class=\"tabs\"\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRelease details\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTracklist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs-content\"\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Description tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Rough diamond\" describes neither the carat number of this long-lost jazz treasure nor its humble origins. \"Jazz Patterns\" was originally released in 1982 on the budget label Everest and was an all-too-carelessly compiled collection of live recordings by saxophonist Joe Henderson's quintet from 1970.
