Craft Recording’s Jazz Dispensary series is honored to announce a vinyl reissue of Blackstone Legacy, 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. A 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. Balancing 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”). In the album’s liner notes, Shaw spoke to Hentoff about his intentions behind the record. “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.” Shaw 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.” Artist Woody Shaw Genre Jazz Label Craft Recordings Buying Options 180g 2LP Gatefold Sleeve Format 180g , 2LP , Gatefold Sleeve Condition New Country UK Track Listings Disc 1 Blackstone Legacy Think On Me Lost and Found Disc 2 New World Boo-Ann's Grand A Deed for Dolphy Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Jazz View Product Quick View John Scofield John Scofield Jazz | ECM | 1LP Released 18th November 2022 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Scofield John Scofield £22.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ECM SKU: 4534387 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 18th November 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Lee Morgan Search For The Land – Classic Vinyl Series Jazz | Decca (UMO) / Jazz / Blue Note | 180g, 1LP Released 16th February 2024 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Lee Morgan Search For The Land – Classic Vinyl Series £26.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Decca (UMO) / Jazz / Blue Note SKU: 45831994 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 16th February 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Hank Mobley Soul Station (Blue Vinyl Series) Jazz | Decca (UMO) / Jazz / Blue Note | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 11th October 2024 £26.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Hank Mobley Soul Station (Blue Vinyl Series) £26.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Decca (UMO) / Jazz / Blue Note SKU: 6511740 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 11th October 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers Buhania’s Delight Jazz | Blue Note | 180g, 1LP Released 21st October 2016 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers Buhania’s Delight £21.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: LP84104 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 21st October 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dave Brubeck Quartet Time Out Jazz | Analogue Productions | 180g, 1LP Released 16th November 2015 £45.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dave Brubeck Quartet Time Out £45.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Analogue Productions SKU: AAPJ8192 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 16th November 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Manhattan Transfer, The Vocalese Jazz | Exhibit Records | 180g, 1LP Released 14th April 2014 £27.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Manhattan Transfer, The Vocalese £27.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Exhibit Records SKU: AEXH44063 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 14th April 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Scolohofo Oh!
