Album #7

Roy Haynes was pleased that Roc-a-Fella Jazz offered him a chance to record an album inspired by his life's other passion: underwear modeling.



"This is the most ridiculous record I've ever done," said Haynes. "I honestly can't believe I made this record. I mean, look at me - I'm in my underwear in a bunch of these pictures. There's that one picture where I look like Medusa. And is that Michael Jordan?"

Roy Haynes, drums; Roy Haynes, briefs; Roy Haynes, boxers; Roy Haynes, bra; Michael Jordan, stand-up bass.

Available for $8.99 for a 3-pack at participating Marshall's retailers.

Album #5

In a stunning co-production of Roc-a-Fella Jazz and the Roc-a-Fella Jazz Heritage Series, Sonny Rollins presents an updated take on his famous NEWK'S TIME record - concerning a theme that certainly would have rung as true when NEWK'S TIME was released in 1957.



Sonny Rollins, tenor sax and EWI; Pee Wee Russell, clarinet; Red Allen, trumpet; Dave Tough, drums.

Recorded live at the Green Mill, August 2011.

Available for $35.45 - OR for only $5 when you turn in a nuclear bomb to your local Tower Records.
