Man & The Blues

Man & The Blues Review

Buddy Guy's greatest album is also his debut full-length session as a leader. "One Room Country Shack," "Mary Had a Little Lamb" (a Stevie Ray Vaughan favorite), "Sweet Little Angel," and "Worry, Worry" are defining songs, full of high-wire vocal dynamics and guitar work of almost balletic poise. The tone of Guy's 1957 Fender six-string remains the benchmark for nearly every blues player who's since hefted a Stratocaster. This CD is as tasteful and dramatic as Guy's 1990s performances are brash and assaultive. Producer Samuel Charters, the noted blues historian, caught Guy just as he was emerging from the shadow of B.B. King and Muddy Waters, and provided an excellent cast of supporting musicians, including the underrated guitar genius Wayne Bennett, gritty piano virtuoso Otis Spann, and Muddy's redoubtable drummer Fred Below. The results are blues perfection. --Ted Drozdowski

Skeleton Blues

Skeleton Blues Review

On his tenth album, he's joined by his working Omaha band, The Fallen Men. Sounding like Doug Yule-era Velvet Underground, Dylan with The Band (or is it Neil Young and Crazy Horse?), and "Sister Lovers"-damaged Big Star, this is unlike any other Joyner record. "Skeleton Blues" explores themes of loyalty, alienation, death, time, war, and divorce. His skeletons are people in states of transition, falling and climbing, failing sometimes but always swimming the backstroke from the rolling graveyards.

Blues Mandolin Man

Blues Mandolin Man Review

Yank Rachell began his recording career in the late 1920's. Through the ensuing decades, he established himself as the finest and most revered mandolinist the blues ever produced, performing regularly with Sleepy John Estes and Sonny Boy Williamson, among many others. These sessions from 1986 find Yank in fine form, his voice and instrumental skills still strong and compelling. Long out of print on LP, Blind Pig is proud to issue these classic sides by a true blues legend.

Ten

Ten Review

Jason Moran & The Bandwagon Celebrate Ten Years With New Album

In 1999, the same year that Jason Moran released his debut Soundtrack To Human Motion, the prodigy pianist and composer also joined New Directions, a band made up of young stars from the Blue Note roster that went on tour in celebration of the label's 60th anniversary. At the core of New Directions was the genesis of a rhythm section--with Moran, bassist Tarus Mateen, and drummer Nasheet Waits--that would go on to become one of the most enduringly creative piano trios in jazz.

Ten years later, the trailblazing trio--which Moran has since dubbed The Bandwagon--headed into Avatar Studios in Manhattan to record Ten, the most assured and focused album of Moran's acclaimed career, a snapshot of a mature band with a decade of shared musical experience from which to draw. The album, Moran's first in four years, will be released on EMI's Blue Note Records.

"Ten is our first record that doesn't rely on a concept to drive it. The only concept is us as a band today," says Moran. "As our band has evolved over ten years, there's a certain ease that we now function within, an ease to let the music be. On some of my earlier recordings, I was making sure I exposed my ideas as a thinker. Now we refrain from jumping through every musical window of opportunity, but only jump through the good windows."

Befitting the man who Rolling Stone called "the most provocative thinker in current jazz," Moran draws the material for Ten from a wide variety of sources. "Blue Blocks," which opens the album with a bluesy cascade of chords, comes from Live: Time, a piece commissioned by the Philadelphia Museum of Art that was inspired by the quilters of Gee's Bend, Alabama. The elegiac "Feedback Pt. 2" was part of a piece commissioned by the Monterey Jazz Festival for which Moran drew inspiration from Jimi Hendrix's performance at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival and used samples of the guitarist's feedback.

"RFK In The Land Of Apartheid" is the main theme from a film score that Moran composed for the documentary RFK In The Land Of Apartheid about Robert Kennedy's 1966 visit to South Africa and his famous "Ripple Of Hope" speech. "Pas De Deux" comes from Moran's first-ever dance collaboration with choreographer Alonzo King's Lines Ballet company. "Old Babies" gives us another window into one of the most profound influences on Moran these days, his twin sons Jonas and Malcolm, born in 2007.

In addition to songs by Leonard Bernstein ("Big Stuff") and minstrel pioneer Bert Williams ("Nobody"), there are also compositions by three of Moran's foremost influences: Thelonious Monk, Andrew Hill, and Jaki Byard. "Crepuscule With Nellie" was featured in Moran's multimedia concert event In My Mind: Monk At Town Hall, 1957. "Play To Live" is a piece Moran co-wrote with his teacher Hill, who died of lung cancer in 2007.

Crocodile Blues Review

Samba Touré is the Malian guitarist, vocalist and composer whose African blues style invokes the spirit of the legendary Ali Farka Touré. Recorded in Bamako, Crocodile Blues is Samba Touré's second international release and a giant leap forward for the Malian bluesman. Featuring guest vocalist and global superstar Oumou Sangaré. A harmonious blend of African blues, traditional themes and western influences. The new rising star of Malian music keeps the legacy of the desert blues alive.

Live & Uppity

Live & Uppity Review

Recorded at Wolf Trap in Virginia, Live & Uppity is just what it sounds like: a live performance by the sassiest, most attitudinal blueswomen in the business--and that's saying something. The opening song, "Cold Pizza and Warm Beer," a halfway-rueful morning-after song, sets the tone for the album; it's going to be a party, with no regrets. And the women of Saffire are funny, too. "You'll Never Get Me out of Your Mind" is introduced as "a song that I wrote back when I was getting rid of my second husband." Songs like "You Can Have My Husband" (a nod to Koko Taylor), "Bitch with a Bad Attitude," "Dump That Chump," and the hilarious, double-entendre- laden "Silver Beaver" are humorous and savvy, with topnotch, energetic performances from all three members. Yet Saffire have their serious side as well, as can be heard on "Lonely Nights," the startlingly tender "Hold Me Close," and the somber "1-800-799- 7233," a song about domestic violence (the number is for the National Domestic Violence Hotline). Though Saffire's sassy, clever humor is a major reason to listen to them, there's clearly plenty of substance here as well; their songwriting is first-rate, as is their choice of cover material, and it's all performed with skill and heart. Very highly recommended. --Genevieve Williams

East-West

East-West Review

1966's East-West, the second album from the Butterfield Blues Band -- and their last with lead guitarist Mike Bloomfield -- found the group branching out from the electric blues and adding elements of modern jazz and the music of India, most notably on the landmark title track, which paved the way for much of the musical experimentation of the late '60s.

The Best of the Moody Blues: The Millennium Collection (20th Century Masters)

The Best of the Moody Blues: The Millennium Collection (20th Century Masters) Review

Is there another band from the classic rock era that's as full of hot gas as the Moody Blues? Not bloody likely. With music that oozes neoclassical pretensions and lyrics that read like the poetry of an English schoolboy who has breathed a little too deep of the gathering gloom, the Moodys showed just how terminally silly rock could get once it became established enough in the marketplace to begin to put on artistic airs. Even if you find that assessment of their work overly harsh, you'll agree that this, the latest in a long line of Moodys anthologies, is a poor value. Despite the presence of many of their U.S. chart hits, the set pales next to The Best of the Moody Blues, which includes six more songs, notably "Go Now," proof that when the Moody Blues first made the charts, they were a very different sort of band. What the heck happened? --Daniel Durchholz

Discovery 3 (Digitally Remastered)

Discovery 3 (Digitally Remastered) Review

The Afro Blues Quintet Plus One was formed in 1963 by leader and vibes player Joseph "Little Joe" DeAguero. The six man band featured saxophonist Jack Fulks, a veteran of Chico Hamilton's band; and pianist Bill Henderson who also played bass, drums, flute and vibes. Henderson had previously played with Terry Gibbs' band. The original drummer was Jim Keltner who went on to become one of the most popular session drummers in pop history. On their classic 1967 album "Discovery 3," the lineup was Joe De Aguero on vibes; Jack Fulks on alto sax & flute; Bill Henderson on piano; Michales Davis on timbales & traps; Norman Johnson on bass; and Moses Obligacion on congas. The sound of the band is very reminiscent of the Ramsey Lewis group, with the accent on gospel tinged, R&B flavored soul jazz. The highly collectible album finally makes its debut in the digital domain. All selections newly remastered.

Blue Songs

Blue Songs Review

2011 sophomore album from the American Electronic Pop outfit. Herc main man Andy Butler has shifted the focus gently away from the New York House and Disco forms of the debut; relocating to Denver and recording the album in Vienna with Techno producer Patrick Pulsinger. Herc mainstay Kim Ann Foxman returns on vocals, and is joined in starring roles by Venezuelan singer Aerea Negrot, fan-turned-collaborator Shaun Wright and Kele Okereke (Bloc Party), Blue Songs sees Bulter broaden his musical palette - "There's definitely jacking House and there's definitely even more full-blown Disco, but there's also more experimental, softer music" he explains,.
