http://www.files.ge/file/275178/Kenny--Dre...Leaves-rar.htmlKenny Drew's trio was clearly cooking on all burners during this concert in Zagreb. With bassist George Mraz and drummer Lewis Nash, the fine post-bop pianist stretches out in his exploration of five standards, including the misidentified title track, which is actually "Autumn Leaves." His workout of "All Blues" may be on of the longest in history by a trio, but there's never a dull moment. He kicks into high gear adding contrasting lines to Dave Brubeck's "In Your Own Sweet Way." Highly recommended. ~ Ken Dryden, All Music Guide [-] Collapse

http://www.link.ge/file/66434/herbie-hancock.rar.htmlAs a wise man once said "you can't have too much Herbie" and how right that man was. This lp is the debut 1962 lp by the master pianist, Miles sideman and Jazz-funk trailblazer Herbie Hancock. At the time of recording Herbie was just 22, having cut his teeth with such jazz luminaries as Donald Byrd and Coleman Hawkins.
The lp opens with a track that was to define Herbie, and became something of a signature tune, in Watermelon Man. The track didn't just become a standard but also achieved that rarity for a modern jazz record, of reaching the top 100 (and later when re-recorded by Mongo Santamaría reached the top 10). All of the pieces on this lp are Hancock compositions, and are incredibly sophisticated given the fact that's Hancock's debut. Taking in styles from Gospel to Blues, and the trademark "funky" sound that Hancock would develop with his work for Miles, his Headhunters forays and the brilliant Fat Albert lp.
This album is an absolute classic, and one that was described by the Rough Guide To Jazz as
"one of the most accomplished and stunning debuts in the annals of jazz."
