John Lee Hooker - It Serve You Right To Suffer
Product No: AIPJ 9103
45 RPM Vinyl Record

John Lee Hooker himself did not know his exact date of birth. If he hadn't died at around the age of 80, this ageless musician would still be easily pulling the next generation to his gigs. Hooker remains a phenomenon, a mysterious figure of black rhythm and blues, a charismatic king who reigns supreme in rock 'n' roll's Hall of Fame. John W.

Sonny Rollins - On Impulse
Product No: AIPJ 91
45 RPM Vinyl Record
Analogue Productions (Impulse)
Sonny Rollins made some excellent recordings for Impulse in the mid-1960s, a time when his unassailable skills and acrobatic approach made him a leading saxophonist, and one of the few to rival John Coltrane. On Impulse has only five tracks, but each tells the complex, glorious story of Rollins' talent, especially in the stretched-out

Duke Ellington and Coleman Hawkins - Duke Ellington Meets Coleman Hawkins
Product No: CIPJ 26 SA
Hybrid Stereo SACD
Analogue Productions (Impulse)
Collaborative albums such as this one have always been something of a stunt on the part of the record label, with the artists themselves usually stuck with too little time to work out something that would easily act as a functional compromise. Many of these albums, then, have faded away with time. Impulse, however, had more than its share of

"...Let me cut to the chase here and recommend that you buy two copies - one to enjoy and the other to hold for resale, because some day Acoustic Sounds' license will run out and lots of jazz fans will be kicking themselves for not buying a copy.
