“Wein, Women & Song” George Wein Sings on Atlantic Records. George Wein is the father of the modern music festival. In 1954 he produced the first Newport Jazz Festival and a few years later the Newport Folk Festival. He also produced the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, the Playboy Jazz Festival and many others around the world. George started his career as a jazz pianist in Boston before founding the famed Storyville jazz club and label. He has recorded and performed with many legendary musicians mostly in the classic small band swing style. I had the honor of working with George for a few years and one of my fondest memories is being invited by George and his wife Joyce to attend Miles Davis’ 60th birthday party. But the site is about lp covers and this one makes the grade on numerous counts.

Lee Morgan Vee-Jay Records “Expoobident” (1960) with Clifford Jordan, Art Blakey, Eddie Higgins and Art Davis. The word “expoobident” was coined by jazz vocalist and all around hipster-philosopher Babs Gonzalez as an all-purpose noun-adjective-verb to provide the most positive description possible. This classic hard-bop set by a one-time only sextet at the height of their poignancy and power features Lee’s beautiful rendition of the standard “Easy Living” as well as Wayne Shorter’s “Fire” and the title track by Higgins.
