Forbidden Fruit

Forbidden Fruit
Nina Simone
When Nina Simone signed to colpix in 1959 she was granted complete creative control over her music.
This new freedom gave her the ability to explore new subject areas, particularly themes dealing with civil rights. Songs like 'Work Song' on 1961's Forbidden Fruit gave an inkling of the maelstrom that was to come, when she would become a veritable force to be reckoned with, making white audiences squirm in their seats with her harsh condemnation of american apartheid.

Body And Soul must be a contender for that "finest album" spot
Body and Soul must be a contender for that "finest album" spot. It catches her at a time when the melodic invention and rhythmic suppleness of earlier days has given way to a more deliberate, almost speech-derived style which places greater emphasis on the lyric than on the harmonies.

A1 Body And Soul
A2 They Can't Take That Away From Me
A3 Darn That Dream
A4 Let's Call The Whole Thing Off
B1 Comes Love
B2 Gee, Baby, Ain't I Good To You

Kirtan: Turiya Sings
Alice Coltrane
Kirtan: Turiya Sings
Alice Coltrane
Alice Coltrane is the undeniable godmother of spiritual jazz and an acknowledged influence on everyone from Flying Lotus and Kamasi Washington to Solange and Radiohead. Kirtan: Turiya Sings features Alice Coltrane at peak spirituality and is presented in this arrangement for the first time in any format.
Turyia Sings was originally released in 1982 on cassette as a collection of devotional songs including vocals, organ, strings, and synthesizers available only at Alice’s Sai Anantam Ashram. Kirtan: Turiya Sings features a sparser arrangement of organ and chanting, produced by Ravi Coltrane.This is intentional, devotional music created with the purpose of connecting to a higher power.

Colors
Between The Buried And Me
Colors
Between The Buried And Me
The 2007 album was a sprawling piece of conceptual storytelling, made by a band throwing caution to the wind and every genre at the listener.
Colors can only be described as a masterpiece. The magnum opus of one of the most creative and elite groups of musicians ever to walk the Earth. The album itself is actually one long song spanning roughly 63 minutes and divided into sections that flow together flawlessly. Though it is a concept album, the stories contained within each song are not directly related to each other. The stories, however, are part of a larger general concept describing different scenarios (colors) in life. The album ebbs and flows musically and lyrically while maintaining an iron grip on the listener’s attention and never losing steam or focus.

A2 (B) The Decade Of Statues
A3 Informal Gluttony
B4 Sun Of Nothing
C5 Ants Of The Sky

Sarah Vaughan With Clifford Brown

Sarah Vaughan With Clifford Brown
Sarah Vaughan
Like a gifted actress, Sarah Vaughan always makes lyrics come alive, whether on poignant ballads or buoyant pop novelties. Vaughan "plays" her voice as if it is a "real" instrument, and on this 1955 marvel, she is matched with musicians of an equally high caliber.
She shows her unbelievable bop-influenced creativity on "You're Not the Kind"; Brown's hard-swinging solo and Quinichette's Lester Young-styled softness set up an incredible ending cascade from Vaughan.
Pianist Jimmy Jones's beautiful chords on the infectious "He's My Guy" show why he was one of the most sought-after vocal accompanists, while Vaughan's phrasing, deliberately behind the time, adds perfectly to the relaxed feel. "April in Paris" reveals her operatic quality as Brown's tingling riffs fill in the space behind her.
Throughout, Sassy combines exquisite elegance, impressive range, and an effortless delivery.
