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 David Axelrod Seriously Deep Jazz | Get On Down | 1LP Released 9th August 2019 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders David Axelrod Seriously Deep £24.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Get On Down SKU: GET54100LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 9th August 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Miles Davis In A Silent Way Jazz | Columbia | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 22nd January 2021 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Miles Davis In A Silent Way £23.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Columbia SKU: 19439797131 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 22nd January 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Johnny Griffin Introducing Johnny Griffin Jazz | Blue Note | 180g, 1LP Released 14th June 2019 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Johnny Griffin Introducing Johnny Griffin £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: 7745064 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 14th June 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Hiromi Silver Lining Suite Jazz | Telarc | 1LP Released 3rd December 2021 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Hiromi Silver Lining Suite £26.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Telarc SKU: 7228603 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 3rd December 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Chet Baker Chet Baker Sings: It Could Happen To You Jazz | Craft Recordings | 180g, 1LP Released 5th March 2021 £30.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Chet Baker Chet Baker Sings: It Could Happen To You £30.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Craft Recordings SKU: 07219753 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 5th March 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mel Brown Chicken Fat (Verve By Request) Jazz | Verve | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 9th December 2022 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mel Brown Chicken Fat (Verve By Request) £26.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Verve SKU: 4599160 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 9th December 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dave Brubeck Quartet Brubeck Time Jazz | Speakers Corner | 180g, 1LP Released 20th July 2018 £34.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dave Brubeck Quartet Brubeck Time £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Speakers Corner SKU: CL622 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 20th July 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View cktrl yield Jazz | cktrl | 1LP Released 28th October 2022 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders cktrl yield £16.00 Genre: Jazz Label: cktrl SKU: OHX008 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 28th October 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers Munich 59 Jazz | Birdland | 180g, 1LP, Includes CD Released 6th June 2013 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers Munich 59 £17.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Birdland SKU: BIRD009 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes CD Released Date: 6th June 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dream, The Get Dreamy Jazz | Jansen Plateproduksjon | 1LP Released 27th January 2017 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dream, The Get Dreamy £26.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Jansen Plateproduksjon SKU: R2LP007 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 27th January 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Jazz Start again
