Hubert Laws Rite

Eloise Laws Fantastic 1977 Album "Eloise", First Time Ever on CD and will be Expanded with the addition of 2 Bonus Tracks.

The sister of flutist Hubert, saxophonist Ronnie, and vocalist Debra, Eloise Laws was born in 1949, in Houston, TX. She began recording for Holland-Dozier-Holland’s Music Merchant label and had a couple singles released in 1972-1973: “Tighten Him Up” and “Love Factory.”

The Complete "Is" Sessions were recorded during Chick Corea's tenure with Miles Davis, along with bassist Dave Holland and Jack DeJohnette. Recorded over three days in New York, the final product came out as two albums on different labels "Is," "This," "Jamala," and "I," were issued as Is on Solid State, and the remaining cuts came out as Sundance on Groove Merchant "The Brain," "Song of the Wind," "Converge," and the title cut. Blue Note has assembled not only the two released recordings on this double-CD package, but the alternate takes as well, to offer a complex, very remarkable portrait of the chemistry that occurred when that trio engaged Woody Shaw, Bennie Maupin, Hubert Laws, and additional drummer Horace Arnold.

Sundance is an album recorded by Chick Corea and originally released on the Groove Merchant label in 1972. In 2002, Blue Note Records re-released all tracks from this album, together with all tracks from 1969's Is and alternate takes from both albums as The Complete "Is" Sessions. Sundance features Chick in his prime early period, building with each new track a sound that was instantly recognizable. The lineup is a who’s-who of jazz masters: Jack DeJohnette, Hubert Laws, Woody Shaw, Horace Arnold, Dave Holland and Bennie Maupin. The music is pure Chick: playful and searching, never content with the expected.

This is also known as Piano Greats (according to Amazon). the album consists of three sides by Corea (featuring Hubert Laws, Woody Shaw , Bennie Maupin , Dave Holland , Jack DeJohnette , and …), and three sides by Mike Longo – to provide, according to the sleeve notes, "a brief rest between the more demanding works composed by Chick Corea".
