Cztery dyskograficzne płyty amerykańskiego alcisty Arthura Blythe'a wydane w legendarnej Columbia Records:
Lenox Avenue Breakdown (Columbia, 1978)
In The Tradition (Columbia, 1978)
Illusions (Columbia, 1980)
Blythe Spirit (Columbia, 1981)
Lenox Avenue Breakdown (Columbia, 1978)
Newsday called Lenox Avenue Breakdown "urbane, lucid jazz played with an animated spirit.'
The Buffalo News deemed it a "blistering, eminently approachable set from a top level band."
The Penguin Guide to Jazz included Lenox Avenue Breakdown in its "Core Collection," and assigned its "crown" accolade to the album, along with a four-star rating (of a possible four stars).
Penguin editors Richard Cook and Brian Morton called the album "one of the lost masterpieces of modern jazz," owing to its long period of unavailability before the 1998 CD release.
Cook and Morton noted that "[Bob] Stewart's long tuba solo on the title-piece is one of the few genuinely important tuba statements in jazz, a nimble sermon that promises storms and sunshine."
Thom Jurek, writing for AllMusic, notes that "this group lays like a band that had been together for years, not the weeklong period it took them to rehearse and create one of Blythe's masterpieces. Over 20 years later, Lenox Avenue Breakdown still sounds new and different and ranks among the three finest albums in his catalog."
In The Tradition (Columbia, 1978)
The Globe and Mail wrote: "Everyone plays well in showcasing the leader's alto sax, so richly cheesy that it's almost an exaggeration of the instrument. But the leader himself doesn't bring anything particularly distinctive to this music."
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow states: "The instrumentation of his quartet is conventional but the musicianship is exceptionally high".
Illusions (Columbia, 1980)
From contemporary reviews, Robert Palmer placed the album at fifth place in his best of 1980 list for The New York Times, proclaiming Blythe to be a "formidable alto saxophonist" and that the funk tunes on the album "proved that substantial yet danceable jazz isn't an impossible dream."
From retrospective reviews, Scott Yanow of AllMusic states that "the distinctive alto of Blythe is heard in top form on six of his unusual originals ... It's recommended."
Blythe Spirit (Columbia, 1981)
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow states: "This is one of the most well-rounded Arthur Blythe records from his Columbia period... a fairly definitive Arthur Blythe recording, showing off his links to hard bop, r&b and the avant-garde".
NME listed it as the 30th best album of 1981.
