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 Pat Metheny Side Eye – NYC (V1.IV) Jazz | BMG | 2LP Released 10th September 2021 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pat Metheny Side Eye – NYC (V1.IV) £24.00 Genre: Jazz Label: BMG SKU: 4050538693935 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 10th September 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Aki Rissanen, Jussi Lehtonen Quartet With Dave Liebman Aki Rissanen, Jussi Lehtonen Quartet With Dave Liebman Jazz | Ozella Music | 180g, 1LP Released 11th May 2015 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Aki Rissanen, Jussi Lehtonen Quartet With Dave Liebman Aki Rissanen, Jussi Lehtonen Quartet With Dave Liebman £22.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Ozella Music SKU: OZ1058LP Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 11th May 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Stanley Turrentine and the Three Sounds Blue Hour (Classic Vinyl) Jazz | Decca (UMO) / Jazz / Blue Note | 180g, 1LP Released 17th May 2024 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Stanley Turrentine and the Three Sounds Blue Hour (Classic Vinyl) £26.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Decca (UMO) / Jazz / Blue Note SKU: 5832036 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 17th May 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Miles Davis Miles in The Sky Jazz | Mobile Fidelity | 180g, 2LP, 45rpm Released 27th May 2015 £73.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Miles Davis Miles in The Sky £73.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Mobile Fidelity SKU: MFSL245437 Formats: 180g, 2LP, 45rpm Released Date: 27th May 2015 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Herbie Hancock Fat Albert Rotunda Jazz | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 4th October 2024 £28.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Herbie Hancock Fat Albert Rotunda £28.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP2187C Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 4th October 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Nina Simone Little Girl Blue Jazz | Jazz Wax Records | 180g, 1LP Released 4th May 2010 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nina Simone Little Girl Blue £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Jazz Wax Records SKU: JWR4509 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 4th May 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Roland Kirk The Inflated Tear Jazz | Atlantic | 180g, 1LP Released 20th September 2010 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Roland Kirk The Inflated Tear £15.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Atlantic SKU: ATLANTICSC1502 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 20th September 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Hudson feat.
