Miles, Sonny, Bird & More - On Sale At HBDirect!

The HBDirect March Jazz Sale Begins!
This month at HBDirect we're discounting the complete catalogs of five labels and select new releases. You can click the logos below for each label's catalog or click here to scroll through the savings!



A Session With Miles, Sonny & Bird $12.98 $8.98 Davis: Collectors Item
"This set lives up to its title by including such interesting sessions as the 1953 date on which Miles Davis welcomed the two tenors of Sonny Rollins and Charlie Parker; other meetings with Rollins in 1951 and 1956; and a moody 1955 date with bassist Charles Mingus, trombone, vibes, and drums (a young Elvin Jones)... Given the differing personnel and dates, it's fairly remarkable that the resulting CD actually has the arc of coherence to it.” -All Music Guide
New Releases From Fantasy Records - $8.98 Each!
John Coltrane: Standard Coltrane
Sonny Rollins: Worktime
Kenny Burrell/Coleman Hawkins: Bluesy Burrell


Sarah Vaughan: Everything I Have Is Yours $15.99 $11.99SHFT: Vaughan
"Because of the narrow chronological focus, you hear Vaughan working on her craft, developing her vocal sound in different ways, and melting into the band's music like few other vocalists can... The musicianship is always solid, making for a pleasing listening experience." -All Music Guide

New And Not To Be Missed!
Modern Jazz Quartet: Legendary Profile
Monty Alexander: Calypso Blues: The Songs of Nat King Cole
Django Reinhardt: Postwar Recordings 1944-1953

Artie Shaw: The Last Recordings $17.99 $13.99NIM: Artie Shaw
These marvellous performances are culled from Artie Shaw’s final recordings as an instrumentalist and make it crystal clear that he retired at the height of his powers. Throughout these pieces, his playing is a joy to the ear and the mind, and his unique sound on the clarinet has seldom, if ever, been better captured.

Preorder Upcoming Releases From Nimbus!
Freddie Hubbard: MMTC (Monk, Miles, Trane & Cannon)
Vincent Herring: American Herring
Louie Bellson: Hot

Pinetop Perkins & Friends SoundClips
Clapton, BB King, Jimmie Vaughan, & More! TLC: Perkins
It's remarkable enough that Pinetop Perkins released Pinetop Perkins & Friends mere weeks before his 95th birthday, but that the session is full of sensational playing and vital blues spirit is nothing short of miraculous.

Mare Nostrum From An Unlikely Trio SoundClipsACT: Mare Nostrum
"Mare Nostrum's biggest surprise isn't its instrumentation - a trio of accordion, trumpet and piano - but how natural the combination sounds in its execution... Let's hope these musicians meet again to record more music - Mare Nostrum is a precious gem." -All Music Guide

E.L.B.: Dream Flight
Huong Thanh/Nguyen Le: Fragile Beauty
Nils Landgren Funk Unit: Paint It Blue

Baden Powell at Rio Jazz Club SoundClips IRI: Powell
"His fingers are fleet, but he never overdoes things, leaving plenty of space and often implying the complex rhythms at the heart of a piece rather than overtly stating them... Even at his most pensive, Powell is brilliant, and you have to believe he was incapable of anything less." -All Music Guide

Miles From India Sound ClipsTSQ: Miles From India
"Any fan of Miles Davis’ music, especially those who enjoy the music he created from around the time of In a Silent Way to the end of his incredible life, will not want to miss Miles From India. This improbable-seeming 2-CD set is packed with timeless compositions and jaw-dropping virtuosity." -JazzReview.com

Freddie Hubbard: On the Real Side
Trilok Gurtu: Izzat
Peru Negro: Zamba Matato

A Trio Becomes A Quartet Sound ClipsE.L.B
"Dream Flight retains all that made [the first] E.L.B. such a compelling listen, while demonstrating the growth one would hope to hear in the intervening years... The addition of Guillaume gives Dream Flight greater breadth, but it's the chemistry shared by Erksine, LĂȘ and Benita that drives the disc." -AllAboutJazz.com
More From ACT Music-Vision
Fresu, Galliano, Lundgren: Mare Nostrum
Huong Thanh/Nguyen Le: Fragile Beauty
Nils Landgren Funk Unit: Licence to Funk

Maceo Parker: Roots & Grooves Sound ClipsTLC: Maceo Parker
"From the first swinging blasts behind Parker's horn on "Hallelujah I Love Her So," "big" is the operative word... This double set was an instant classic. [Ray Charles] was not the only genius who loved company - Parker, too, has a blast working with one of the hippest big bands in the world." -All Music Guide
