Indestructible!
Used - Vinyl - 7764739
2019 US 180gm remastered reissue for Blue Note's Classic Vinyl series. VG+ player, pristine jacket. A powerhouse final statement from Art Blakey’s classic mid-’60s lineup, Indestructible! is one of the most explosive and cohesive albums in The Jazz Messengers’ storied catalog. Recorded in 1964 but released in 1966, the session captures Blakey leading a razor-sharp sextet featuring Lee Morgan (trumpet), Curtis Fuller (trombone), Wayne Shorter (tenor sax), Cedar Walton (piano), and Reggie Workman (bass).
This ensemble — brimming with future legends — delivers hard bop at its most advanced: fiery, lyrical, and anchored by Blakey’s unmistakable thunder. Morgan’s “The Egyptian” opens the album with modal swagger; Shorter contributes the elegant “Mr. Jin” and the driving closer “It’s a Long Way Down.” Walton’s “Calling Miss Khadija” adds a soulful, rolling groove that perfectly suits Blakey’s propulsive swing. ...

Schizophrenia
Audiophile - Used - B0036692-01
2023 180gm remastered reissue for Blue Note's Tone Poet series. VG+ player, pristine jacket. Schizophrenia, stands as a pivotal work in the legendary saxophonist’s Blue Note discography. Recorded during a transformative period in jazz, the record captures Shorter’s adventurous spirit as both a composer and performer. Blending post-bop’s sophistication with early hints of the avant-garde, the album features a stellar ensemble: Herbie Hancock on piano, Ron Carter on bass, James Spaulding on alto saxophone and flute, Curtis Fuller on trombone, and Joe Chambers on drums. Shorter’s intricate compositions—such as “Tom Thumb” and the title track “Schizophrenia”—showcase his unique harmonic language and innovative approach to jazz improvisation.
A highlight for any jazz vinyl collector or Wayne Shorter enthusiast, *Schizophrenia* delivers inventive arrangements and a distinct interplay between musicians. The album’s exploratory sound bridges the gap between the hard bop traditions of Blue Note Records and the emerging experimental styles that defined late-1960s jazz. Its lasting influence is evident in the way it balances accessible melodies with complex, cerebral structures, making it a sought-after reference for modern jazz studies and essential listening for anyone interested in jazz saxophone or the evolution of jazz fusion. ...
