	NPR : Impulse Records: 'The House That Trane Built'
		Although it's been mostly forgotten today, Impulse Records was one of the most influential labels in jazz.
		Ownership of Impulse has shifted through the corporate mergers of the 1990s, but the label's sounds are still on the cutting edge.
		From 1961 through 1976, Impulse Records wore its signature colors proudly and raised its exclamation point high, producing albums with hinged, brightly hued covers that opened wide, attracting generations of listeners into an exciting and far-ranging world of improvised music.

	Creed Taylor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		At AandM Records from 1967-69, Taylor's productions were often quite commercial, with the frequent use of strings and pop tunes, including Wes Montgomery's final three albums and some early efforts by George Benson; it was as if Taylor was searching for the formula he was later to perfect.
		Among the artists who recorded some of their finest work for Taylor during this period were Freddie Hubbard, Stanley Turrentine, George Benson and Hubert Laws; the Kudu subsidiary had funkier but no less successful projects by Grover Washington Jr.
		However, by the mid-'70s, the larger labels were starting to lure Taylor's artists away, and although he was able to record Chet Baker, Art Farmer and Yusef Lateef, financial problems eventually forced CTI to go bankrupt; it was then acquired by Columbia.

		A second impulse, in light of recent corporate scandals, is that of deleting everything—especially e-mails—the theory being that if it's not there, it can't be found by regulators or litigators.
		The decision to move a record is not based on its importance—a long-term client contract may not be accessed very frequently, but it is certainly more important than an e-mail thread setting up a Friday lunch outing, which may well be the next file on the disk.
		Records retention is a systematic decision on how long a record should be kept—based on legal, fiscal, operational, or historic value.

	Amazon.com: The House That Trane Built: The Story of Impulse Records: Books: Ashley Kahn (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Lasting from 1961 to 1977, Impulse Records started big with career-best albums by Ray Charles, Gil Evans, and Oliver Nelson and stayed big thanks to the astonishingly popular avant-garde music of John Coltrane, until and beyond his 1967 death.
		If "suits" at parent company ABC Paramount started it and remained largely sympathetic, Impulse owed its unprecedented success to original producer Bob Thiele, who let musicians choose their repertoire and play it as they wished, and to terrific packaging: gatefold covers, a distinctive orange-and-fl ground-color scheme, superb performance photography.
		This is something of a missed opportunity for readers, but not for Verve Records (current owners of the Impulse catalog) who have raided the vaults yet again to promote compilations of dubious value in conjunction with the book.

	Impulse Records - Jazzmatazz reviews
		Although the album is primarily a fairly straight ahead swinging affair rounded out by a few ballads, included are tunes penned by Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane, and a fantastic cover of Ornette Coleman’s "Turnaround." Ironically, this may be the most timeless sounding album of the batch.
		Recorded just before his mysterious death, Music is also unfortunately one of his most misguided albums.
		Ayler had fallen on bad times and was under the influence of his eccentric wife "Mary Maria." Her “cosmic vibration” vocals dominate the album, while Ayler and his rhythm section attempt to back up her pleading declarations.

	John Coltrane — The Heavyweight Champion
		For this record Nelson assembled a lineup of Bill Evans on piano and Paul Chambers on bass, both of whom were members of the seminal 50’s edition of the Miles Davis Quintet, Freddie Hubbard on trumpet, Eric Dolphy on alto and flute, George Barrow on baritone sax and Roy Haynes on Drums.
		The fact that this record was even made is interesting in light of the fact that at the time of this recording, Hubbard was under contract with Blue Note Records, Evans with Riverside, and Dolphy with Prestige (as well as Nelson, who still had a contractual obligation to fill with Prestige Records).
		Consequently missing from this record is the sense of warmth and body so eerily present on many of the early Impulse Records from several years prior to this recording.

	SPECTRE \| reviews
		Records — wearing signature colors proudly, with exclamation point raised high — was the go-to label for sounds that swung to the searching and experimentation of the era, that caught the musical out-reach and political outrage.
		Recorded in Swords’ rustic warehouse space in downtown Portland, Metropolis is 10 taut songs bristling with nervous energy, postmodern smarts and a tantalizing mix of political statements, personal reflections and intriguing musical allusions.
		Instead, he wanted to explain why he was the way he was and wanted to make a record that he could play for his daughter someday; a record that reflected the man he was now while at the same time finally shedding light on the source of his rage, pain and rebellion.

	ABC-Paramount Records Story
		In the early 1960s, Impulse, a jazz label subsidiary, was established, and in the mid-'60s a blues label subsidiary, Bluesway, was formed.
		Price had hit in 1952 with Specialty records with "Lawdy Miss Clawdy." Price's career at Specialty was cut short when he was drafted into the US Army soon after, but upon getting out of the Army in 1956, Price moved to Washington D.C. and formed his own record label, KRC (Kent Record Company).
		The Impulse label operated to 1979, but by that time it was releasing mostly compilations of material recorded earlier.

		Banking on the idea that "flower power" had dollar power, Impulse straight-jacketed its artists with love beads and transcendental aura, man. Promoting a "free poster offer" here, Impulse matched the covers of six recent releases and offered the reproductions to anyone who wrote in and requested one.
		In a truly astounding work of advertising acumen, Blue Thumb Records presented a mini-fable of a bearded dwarf in search of the "Meaning of Life" to promote its handful of new releases (Jazz and Pop: January 1971).

	ALICE COLTRANE DISCOGRAPHY
		Capsule Info: Recorded after Alice Coltrane met her future guru, Swami Satchidananda, this album shows her spirituality narrowing but deepening the focus of her expression in jazz.
		Capsule Info: Recorded live at UCLA in 1978, Alice set aside the Hare Krishna choirs and exotic instruments to a return to her early period's trio style, revisiting several of her own tunes as well as John Coltrane's way-out period opus "Leo".
		This, like her other devotional recordings, is not jazz, but a beautiful statement of her evolution on the non-secular plane.

	NOTES
		Davis stumbled upon this discovery purely by accident, having just heard the Bechet song (which he has unfortunately forgotten the title and recording of) as he was listening to Coltrane Plays the Blues, putting together a lecture tape.
		When he heard the similarity, he checked and the key of the songs were the same, along with the tempo, so he tried his experiment, and on the first take it was a perfect fit.
		In particular, there is a harp solo in the piece and the sounds of the harp, the overtones, the sustain, along with the themes, where what Coltrane was trying to achieve.

	Albert Ayler 1966-1967
		Along with his Impulse records contract, Albert was invited to endorse Buffet saxophones.
		On the December 18 recordings he plays patterns around the drums, using the whole kit as a unified instrument and relying strongly on the toms.
		John Coltrane tried LSD at least once, during the recording of the album Om,[225] and it is possible that Ayler did as well, maybe on Coltrane's recommendation.

		This song is from an album of the same name recorded in 1967, an irreverent collection of songs that found Gillespie singing alongside his assembled Afro-Cuban band.
		His dexterity using records and turntables is something to behold: he will fluctuate a record's pitch, volume, speed to create actual new notes out of echoes, scratches and sounds.
		It was his skill as a jazz composer and arranger, though, that gives his legacy the most weight, especially the jazz classic, "Stolen Moments." A magical quality surrounds the proud, soulful radiance of the original and Chicago outfit Telefon Tel-Aviv had the monumental task of remixing it.

	Charles Mingus - Impulse! Records
		In his teens he started to receive reliable musical training, from bassist Red Callender and from trumpeter-composer Lloyd Reese, and by his early twenties he was recognized as a promising player, working with Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, and Lionel Hampton.
		Early compositions, recorded while he was still on the West Coast, presented a variety of separate approaches, but Mingus also had ambitions to be a successful songwriter like Ellington; hence his ballads such as "Bemoanable Lady" and the famous "Weird Nightmare".
		He also ran his own record label for a while and became much more actively involved in the growing civil rights movement, inspiring his collaboration with poet Langston Hughes.
