{"title":"Woody Shaw","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eWoody Shaw grew up in Newark, studied classical trumpet from about the age of eleven and was working professionally by fourteen. He joined Eric Dolphy’s band in 1963, making his first recording appearance on Dolphy’s \u003cem\u003eIron Man\u003c\/em\u003e, and after a stretch in Paris he replaced Carmell Jones in Horace Silver’s quintet, debuting on Blue Note with \u003cem\u003eThe Cape Verdean Blues\u003c\/em\u003e. He wrote three of the six tunes on Larry Young’s \u003cem\u003eUnity\u003c\/em\u003e, including “The Moontrane”, and his own records from the 1970s, among them \u003cem\u003eSong of Songs\u003c\/em\u003e (Contemporary, 1973) and \u003cem\u003eThe Moontrane\u003c\/em\u003e (Muse, 1975), built long, angular post-bop lines on modal ground. Columbia followed with \u003cem\u003eRosewood\u003c\/em\u003e (1978), which Down Beat readers named Jazz Album of the Year, and \u003cem\u003eStepping Stones: Live at the Village Vanguard\u003c\/em\u003e (1979). He also appeared on Dexter Gordon’s \u003cem\u003eHomecoming\u003c\/em\u003e (1976). He died in 1989 aged 44. \u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"joe-henderson-woody-shaw-jazz-patterns-2025-real-gone-music-remastered-vinyl-lp","title":"Joe Henderson \u0026 Woody Shaw - Jazz Patterns (2025 Real Gone Music Remastered Vinyl LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJoe Henderson \u0026amp; Woody Shaw - \u003cem\u003eJazz Patterns\u003c\/em\u003e | Vinyl LP - 2025 Real Gone Music Reissue (RGM-1946, remastered, lacquer cut at Well Made Music)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLive recordings from the Lighthouse Café in Hermosa Beach, September 1970\u003c\/strong\u003e, captured by the same Henderson quintet that recorded \u003cem\u003eIf You’re Not Part of the Solution, You’re Part of the Problem\u003c\/em\u003e for Milestone during the same residency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA band that barely needs introduction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Woody Shaw on trumpet and flugelhorn, George Cables on electric piano, Ron McClure on bass, Lenny White on drums, Tony Waters on percussion, with the original two-track mixes engineered by Bernie Grundman.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst proper reissue since the botched 1982 Everest pressing\u003c\/strong\u003e, now remastered and restored by Skip Heller and Kevin Chubirka at Haven Recording, with corrected track titles and new liner notes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe story behind this record is almost as good as the music. Orrin Keepnews recorded Henderson’s quintet over three nights at the Lighthouse in September 1970. The best material went to Milestone for \u003cem\u003eIf You’re Not Part of the Solution\u003c\/em\u003e. The outtakes sat on the shelf until Keepnews sold the two-track reference mixes to Bernie Solomon at Everest Records. Solomon released them in 1982 on his budget Archive of Folk \u0026amp; Jazz Music imprint under the title \u003cem\u003eJazz Patterns\u003c\/em\u003e, with Shaw’s name added for commercial pull. The cover was ugly. Two of the three track titles were wrong and the third was misspelled. There was no recording date, no location, no engineering credit. The sound quality was poor. Almost nobody bought it, and the few who did and actually listened found themselves holding one of the great undiscovered live jazz recordings of the early 1970s. Henderson on tenor, Shaw on trumpet and flugelhorn, Cables on electric piano, McClure on bass, White on drums, Waters on percussion. Every one of them playing at a level that makes the packaging irrelevant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReal Gone Music’s 2025 reissue fixes nearly everything the Everest pressing got wrong. Skip Heller and Kevin Chubirka remixed, remastered and restored the original tapes at Haven Recording. The track titles are corrected: “Invitation” (the Kaper standard), Henderson’s own “Punjab” (from his 1963 Blue Note debut \u003cem\u003ePage One\u003c\/em\u003e), and “What’s Mine Is Yours”, a twenty-minute Henderson original that takes up the whole of Side B. The lacquer was cut at Well Made Music. Heller’s liner notes fill in the backstory that Everest never bothered to provide. The music is loose, searching, post-bop played by a working band at the end of a residency. Shaw matches Henderson line for line. White, two years before \u003cem\u003eReturn to Forever\u003c\/em\u003e, drives the rhythm with a ferocity that the better-known Milestone album only hints at. This is the version of \u003cem\u003eJazz Patterns\u003c\/em\u003e the music always deserved.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Real Gone Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44887384948795,"sku":null,"price":70.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/3203\/3339\/files\/616VHBHG_KL.jpg?v=1793911043"}],"url":"https:\/\/lushliferecords.com.au\/collections\/woody-shaw.oembed","provider":"Lush Life Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
