Just listened to this, sat back and forgot about everything, I love it when that happens...

Blackened Cities

by Melanie De Biasio

The cover reminded me of regular journeys up the A19 past Middlesbrough, fortunately it didn't put me off the album [emoji23]

I saw Melanie De Biasio do this live at the North Sea Jazz Festival in 2017, she extended this piece to half hour or so, and it was pretty impressive.
Has a great breathing technique and really transmits her inner soul to it. It was very sparse with lots of atmosphere. Quite ECM ish..

I have it on vinyl (only came as a 12" EP) and whilst I like it, it was much better live, with her theatrical on stage style. (there maybe a live video on you tube of her performing)
Her other material is very interesting and good too. She was remixed and messed with on an alternative Lp. of material by some big producers.

Inspired to dig this out an have a listen over the weekend.
A Thoughtful selection Lawrence. :cool:

Duke Robillard with special guests that include Maria Muldaur, Jay McShann and Mary Flower.

Think this was Duke's first all acoustic album and he has been going for over 50 years... very good it is too, with a real jazzy flavour at times.

Buddy Guy

I saw Buddy Guy play at the Hammersmith Odeon, London back in the mid '70s. I was amused by the expression on Buddy's face when he played the guitar: it looked like he had been 'kicked in the balls'.

Good one Grant. Knew you'd like it. Personally, Chicago blues are my favourite. I just love the straight-ahead boogie quality of it. Can't sit still listening to that stuff. Years ago I watched the Ken Burns documentary History of Rock and Roll, and he highlighted the Chicago blues influence on early British rock bands -- Rolling Stones, Zepellin, Clapton and his gang. He contrasted the two by playing back to back tracks and the similarity was remarkable. Apparently the British guys really studied that style and took to it wholeheartedly. Pretty cool how this style influenced the biggest rock bands in the world.

Svend

I dont know this Lp but I love Gonsalves....

So, I went to you tube for a listen.

That doesn’t feel like Gonsalves to me. The phrasing is not him. ( although I could be wrong, i dont think so )

Had a quick google and he is on the recording. But I’m not sure !!

Possibly Jimmy Hamilton, who is also credited. I know his clarinet playing, but not so much his tenor playing. I suspect it may be him.

Anything on the sleeve notes, Grant ?

I have acquired so much excellent music from recommendations on this forum, and I'm only up to page 90. Thank you, thank you.

You are most welcome John. This really is a great thread. One of the best things about it is that no one who contributes here is in the least bit judgmental about other's choice in music, or has airs of superior taste. No one-upmanship, and conversely no seeking of praise or affirmation. Very pleasant and respectful, all of it.

That said, some of the guys here really know their jazz, and it's possible to learn a lot from them.

Feel free to add your own old favourites or new discoveries to the chat. You live in an area (the American south) with a rich jazz and blues tradition. Is there a lively local scene in your town or nearby? Any young up-and-comers that we should hear? Part of the fun is hearing artists from other parts of the world that we may never have known about if not for a shout-out here. For example, I've introduced the guys to a few Canadian musicians (e.g. Jane Bunnet, Emilie-Claire Barlow, etc.), and in return I have picked up on some terrific UK artists (Matthew Halsall, Go Go Penguins) which I really enjoy.

Long may this thread live!

Cheers,
Svend

Memphis country blues festival. Based around buckka white but some tracks have guest slots including Nathan Beauregard, Furry Lewis and Robert Wilkins to mention just 3.
Beauregard is yet again a musician who got overlooked all his life up until about 2 years before he died in 1970 or so. Bill Barth, who helped found the Memphis Country Blues Society was responsible for his and many others late career starts.

I'm reminded of what Sonny Boy Williamson said when asked about the burgeoning British Blues scene of the '60s: "These British boys want to play the Blues so bad - and boy do they." :lol:

He was right of course, but he didn't recognise their naïve enthusiasm. And that is what I like about groups such as Chicken Shack. :) Anyway, they along with John Mayall, were my introduction to the Blues, which lead me on to discover and appreciate the original Blues performers of the US.

I agree I have one of their albums and it’s great from first to last track. On the edge of rock but not still in the blues. Another like this if Johnny Winter, his second album is a good example IMO.

Originally known as Eight years a ramblin' circa 71, this reissue on Fat Possum is a classic from Fred Mcdowell again plus his local harp and singer friend Johnny Woods, who ended up playing with RL Burnside(himself a trainee of McDowells).

oh this is whats called Hill Country Blues, which is related to fife and drum blues... Had a heavy boogie to it that can cause a sort of hypnotic affect

Brian - a good find to discover Jamal. He's one of my favourites. Such a distinctive, light and quick touch on the keyboard. Amazing talent. And you are right -- always a positive cheerful mood to his tunes. Makes me smile every time I listen. If you haven't already got them, albums Ahmad's Blues and At the Pershing are excellent, among his many great albums.

Beautiful interpretations of some classics - On Green Dolphin Street in particular. Digital versions have alternate takes - interesting to see him improvise around the themes in completely different ways.

it does a little, but playing it few times it gets less. not deep, just like a hairline. on 60s vinyl i doubt youd hear it. getting a bit dottery . got a huge boil on back and on big bomb antibiotics. make you a bit tired and slow at times. hoping thats all it is and im not heading for a"seat at the viewing window":D

ive graded it downwards anyway.... . that will teach me....

Great choice Grant. I hadn’t listened to her music for years, so i went on you tube to have a listen. I found a live version of one of the tunes on your link, so went to that.

really great. I tend to think of Bossa Nova as being quite laid back, but not this band. real drive to it. That real feel of pushing things but not actually getting faster. piano Bass and drums all really on it.

i thought i recognised the bass player, so had a look at comments. It’s Marc Johnson, who is her husband now.

Which made me look for an old clip i used to love and on which he played when he was much younger, With John Abercrombie and Michael Brecker, Peter Erskine.

Guess what... she used to be married to Randy Brecker.... brother of Michael.

Here is that live performance too, from Village vanguard. Love the energy in breckers sax solo.

Mr Ritenour is one of those guitarists that just make it sound easy, IMO he is one of the best, sometimes accused of being too laid back and MOR, but he is prolific and well worth a listen. This is one of his best, although 'RIT' is another favourite of mine.
