The Riverside Records Story

Various Artists
The Riverside Records Story is essentially Orrin Keepnews' baby -- and why not, for the grizzled jazz producer/journalist co-founded the label, ran it from day one in 1952 until it suddenly went bankrupt in 1964, and produced almost all of the original sessions. Riverside's current custodians at Fantasy had Keepnews select and sequence four CDs' ...

Complete Studio Recordings: The Master Tapes
(2007)

by
Elmo Hope
Pianist and composer Elmo Hope's music might best be compared with that of Herbie Nichols. Both men shared some of Bud Powell's intensity, Thelonious Monk's inventive whimsy and, at times, hints of young Cecil Taylor's realistic approach to the impossible. Over the years, both Nichols and Hope have achieved posthumous respect from an international ...

Elmo Hope Trio
The boppish and fairly original Elmo Hope performs seven of his obscure originals, many of which are well worth reviving, plus "Like Someone In Love" in a trio with bassist Jimmy Bond and drummer Frank Butler.

Homecoming! is a particularly high-spirited record for this stage in Hope's troubled career. Following an extended stay in Los Angeles, a number of the day's top players helped welcome a refreshed Hope back to New York on this session. Tenor saxophonists Frank Foster and Jimmy Heath, as well as trumpeter Blue Mitchell, form the front line on the ...

Elmo Hope
Kudos to Spain's Fresh Sound label for digging this one out of its undeserved obscurity. This 1963 session assembled by composer Sid Frey, pianist and composer Elmo Hope, and vibist Walt Dickerson (who doesn't appear on the record) is a blowing date centered around the notion of drug addiction and hopelessness for the addict/slave musician who ...
