Hyena Bonus Sampler
Short Description: There are cricket matches that lasted longer than Night Records. But short-lived as the label was, it did manage to pump out four "live" albums before the balloon went up. The albums were unique in that they contained music that was recorded without the musicians knowing the tape was rolling. Folks play differently when they don't know they're being recorded.

James Blood Ulmer
No Escape From The Blues
Short Description: The album’s concept reflects the blues' migration from the rural south to the booming urban metropolis of New York City. Following up 2001's Grammy Award-nominated Memphis Blood: The Sun Sessions, James Blood Ulmer returns with No Escape From The Blues: The Electric Lady Sessions. Produced by Living Colour’s Vernon Reid and recorded at the fabled Electric Lady Studios, Ulmer’s latest effort continues in the spirit of its predecessor, reinventing the blues in Ulmer’s own incomparable style. The album’s concept reflects the blues' migration from the rural south to the booming urban metropolis of New York City; a journey paralleled in Ulmer's own life having grown up in the deep south, but staking his claim as a revered guitarist in NYC's downtown loft jazz scene. Throughout the date, Ulmer is down right sanctified, delivering career defining vocal performances on blues standards including "Ghetto Child," "Trouble In Mind" and "Come On (Let the Good Times Roll)," while his guitar work is electrified, purely authentic and instantly recognizable. Special guests include Queen Esther and Olu Dara.

Birth Right
Short Description: James Blood Ulmer is in the midst of a career revival—an artistic renaissance if you will. A new generation of music fans have discovered his music, while simultaneously longtime fans from throughout his 40-year career have shown a renewed fascination with the iconoclastic genius. His previous two recordings, Memphis Blood: The Sun Sessions and No Escape From The Blues: The Electric Lady Sessions led to much recognition, including a Grammy Award nomination, Rolling Stone Magazine “Best Album” honors, a performance at Martin Scorsese blues celebration concert at Radio City Music Hall and high profile appearances with the likes of Government Mule, Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks. On Birthright, his latest studio album, Ulmer goes it alone. It’s just he and his guitar singing and playing 12 of the most stark, personal and spellbinding songs he’s ever recorded. The blues hasn’t sounded this fresh in a long, long time. It’s clearly the work of an American music legend continuing to reinvent himself, while remaining as relevant today as at any point in his long and distinguished career.

Higher Ground
Short Description: Higher Ground is T.S. Monk’s first new album in over three years. And it’s a welcome return, bringing the venerable drummer back to jazz’s forefront. Additionally, it marks the debut of Monk’s own record label, Thelonious Records, which will work in conjunction with HYENA for future releases that include “live” concert recordings of his father Thelonious Monk. While it might seem as if T.S. has been away for far too long, he’s actually been hard at work wood-shedding his septet into one of the finest working bands in jazz. Higher Ground bears truth to that with its kinetic and infectious interplay, focusing on a variety of his bandmates compositions, including the beautiful and breezy “Ladera Heights” and the hard bop groove of “Craw-Daddy.” Guest vocalist Miles Griffith also contributes on the Cedar Walton compostion, “Mosaic,” for a brilliant slice of vocalese. One of jazz music’s most viable band leaders, as well as a previous Downbeat Reader’s Poll winner for “Drummer of the Year,” T.S. Monk is back and ready to reclaim his spot atop contemporary jazz’s illustrious hill.
