Young's Jazz Loft 1954 - 1965 The History, And Lost Recordings ‎(2xCD, Comp).

From 1954 to 1965, David X. Young, a painter and jazz aficionado who is still very much alive, turned his studio in New York’s flower district into an oasis for some of the greatest jazz players of the era. The space became known to history as the "Jazz Loft," where countless jam sessions transpired and a very special scene took root. This two-disc package from Jazz Magnet Records unearths some of the music that went down at Young’s place.

Jazz composer and pianist Carla Bley, composer David Amram, the late saxophonist Phil Woods, pianist and composer Freddie Redd, bassists Chuck Israels and Bill Crow and others weigh in. Drummer Ronnie Free remembers Smith as a mad scientist. Sara Fishko’s Jazz Loft sticks elegantly but relentlessly to the matter at hand. It reflects some of the same commitment to seriousness in art as its subject. It does not get lost in gossip, in sex lives and race. Whether it fully means to be or not, it is a polemic against the sloppiness, carelessness and selfishness of so much contemporary film and art work

David Stone Martin is a true classic, a pioneer and the style force of the record album design. He is the most collected of all album designers and the initials DSM has beeen a household word among collectors over the world. David Stone Martin was born in Chicago 1913. David Stone Martin´s first commission for Granz was to design a logo for the "Jazz At The Philharmonic" concerts and tour. He created the famous Trumpeter logo, which Norman Granz featured on all his concert programs and record labels. It continues to be used today on reissues and is still perhaps the best recogniezed logo in jazz. These records have the trumpeter logo on the label, that distinguished them from Mercury´s own recordings. The Mercury albums were soon, or even simultaneous, issued also on the Clef label itself - with the same cover. Most of them were designed by David Stone Martin.

Loft jazz was, in some sense, a movement to take the music back from club owners. It was highly politicized, but also highly social: This was community music. Part of the point was that, free of the strictures of clubs, the music could be anything, go anywhere, go on for as long as it wanted. Loft jazz may have been intellectual and an overtly anti-commercial musical style, but it wasn’t antiseptic; these musicians were well studied in any and all of the styles that came before. We don’t hear the obstreperous but swinging solos, whether from David Murray or Sunny Murray, Anthony Braxton or Anthony Davis.
