Jazz Dispensary presents... "Night Lights" (Stream)

Lay back with this new compilation from Jazz Dispensary that collects cuts from Prestige Records’ imprint Moodsville, featuring hauntingly beautiful late-night tunes from multi-instrumentalist Yusef Lateef, guitarist Kenny Burrell, saxophonists Coleman Hawkins and Gene Ammons, and many more. Evoking the feeling of a warm cup of diner coffee on a cold, sleepless winter night in the city, Night Lights takes listeners on a long stroll that kicks off with Willis Jackson’s nostalgic contemplation “Home,” complimented by the warm hug of bookend “What’s New” from Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis (which features the oft-forgotten, prolific organist and bandleader Shirley Scott). At its center, the new collection also features the silky motifs of Yusef Lateef’s “Don’t Blame Me,” the understated confidence of Kenny Burrell’s six-string meditation “No More,” Coleman Hawkins’ “When the Day Is Done” (which soothes like a much-needed salve), and Gene Ammons’ tableau of contentment, “Under a Blanket of Blue” — among many other timeless Moodsville cuts.
