Cruisin' 1959

Cruisin' 1959 (1991) more music like this

by Various Artists

Part of L.A. DJ Hunter Hancock's theme included the declaration "you'll hear music that runs the gamut from bebop to ballads, swing to sweet, and blues to boogie." And while on this fifth installment of Increase Records' history of classic rock & roll radio, the claim isn't strictly true, Hancock is heard guffawing in between an array of R&B hits ...

Live at Birdland: 1957

Live at Birdland: 1957 (1957) more music like this

by Big Jay McNeely

An amazing artifact from 1957, when live recordings like this one didn't happen very often. A Seattle engineer with a spanking-new stereo tape recorder captured the contents of this disc while McNeely and his swinging combo were working out at a Seattle nightspot called the Birdland. He gets plenty of room to peel the paper from the gin joint's ...

King R&B Box Set

King R&B Box Set (1996) more music like this

by Various Artists

An imperfect but nevertheless impressive four-disc overview of King's greatest hits, The King R&B Box Set contains signature hits from the likes of James Brown, Hank Ballard, the Five Royales and Little Willie John. Many essential items are here, but the sequencing is too scholarly to make the box itself essential. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All ...

Central Avenue Sounds: Jazz in Los Angeles 1921-1956 (1999) more music like this

by Various Artists

Los Angeles is not usually seen as a hotbed of African-American musical creativity in the first half of the 20th century, but this deluxe box set deflates that misconception in a hurry. From 1921 to 1956 -- the time frame covered by the four discs of Central Avenue Sounds -- jazz of all kinds flourished on Central Avenue, L.A.'s main stem of sepia ...

Big Jay McNeely Recorded Live at Cisco's

Big Jay McNeely Recorded Live at Cisco's (2006) more music like this

by Big Jay McNeely

This raw, rollicking, wildly rambunctious live set by Big Jay McNeely was originally issued on Warner in 1963, simply titled at Big Jay McNeely. The big sax man may have hit is "prime" between 1949-'52 with his jukebox hits, but as the '60s dawned, he was still rocking his ass off. The basic band is made up of McNeely and his brother Bob (a ...

Birth of Rhythm & Blues

Birth of Rhythm & Blues (2001) more music like this

by Various Artists

While rhythm & blues has a pedigree stretching back to the dawn of the 20th century, it was only in the late '30s that smaller groups began jumping with the energy of swing and the spirit of the blues. The Birth of Rhythm & Blues, a three-disc box from Golden Stars, trawls through the subsequent decade and casts a wide net over the jazz, blues, ...

by Big Jay McNeely

This compilation combines tracks previously released on two earlier Collectables Records reissues, Live at Birdland: 1957 and Swingin'. The live recordings from the former disc were cut at a club called Birdland in Seattle, WA, not the better-known one in New York City. The studio recordings from the latter disc were also recorded in Seattle ...

by Big Jay McNeely

A collection of all the sides Big Jay McNeely recorded for Imperial Records in 1951 and 1952, along with his first few Federal Records tracks from that year, this anthology, although chronological, is neatly divided into vocal and instrumental pieces. The first half dozen or so selections feature the Three Dots and a Dash vocal group, while the ...

by Various Artists

Vee Jay Rhythm & Blues: The Early Years, Pt. 1 is an excellent compilation taken from the vaults of Vee-Jay records, combining well-known hits with equally strong obscure material.

by Big Jay McNeely

Gymnastic sax maniac's output for L.A. DJ Hunter Hancock's Swingin' logo during the late '50s and early '60s. Naturally, his smash "There Is Something on Your Mind" is front and center, alongside the oddly titled "Back...Shack...Track," "Psycho Serenade," and "Blue Couch Boogie." Little Sonny Warner is the vocalist on some sides. ~ Bill Dahl, All ...

This is an outstanding collection from the vaults of King and its subsidiary labels, Federal and Deluxe. These 24 tracks collect jump blues, doo wop, piano boogie, and outright bizarre novelties stretching from the late '40s through the early '60s.

Jump Blue: Rockin' the Jooks (1999) more music like this

by Various Artists

1999 must have been deemed a banner year for the blues by someone at Capitol Records, issuing a passel of eclectic blues compilations in a month-long period on the EMD/Blue Note label. Jump Blue is a scholarly homage to the jump subgenre, characterized by sped-up high-hat tempos and lots of tight, fast horn work. This record jumps, too, all over ...
