Lou Rawls
He's never deserted either blues or jazz, but Lou Rawls hasn't always found a receptive audience for these styles at notoriously conservative major labels. That wasn't the case on this 1989 album, on which Rawls performed straightahead jazz and pre-rock pop or blues, and was backed by an all-star lineup including Ray Charles, Cornell Dupree, Steve ...

Atlantic Rhythm & Blues 1947-1974 [Box]
(1991)

by
Various Artists
This eight-CD set should be a part of any collection that presumes to take American music -- not just rock & roll or rhythm & blues -- seriously. Atlantic Records was one of dozens of independent labels started up after the war by neophyte executives and producers, but it was different from most of the others in that the guys who ran it were ...

by
Jaki Byard
Although Jaki Byard was a very eclectic pianist, this is a surprisingly conventional set. On most selections he is joined by bassist Bob Cranshaw and drummer Walter Perkins (in 1964) for fairly straight-ahead renditions of standards and obscurities. A few of the numbers add Booker Ervin on tenor and trumpeter Richard Williams, and of these by far ...

Atlantic Blues 1949-1970

Various Artists
This limited edition (3000 copies) box screams old school. From its album sized packaging to the sepia toned photos, rare poster reproductions and pictures of the artists, the four disc anthology is geared towards collectors with an eye to the past. The first of three sets (soul and vocal groups are the other two genres covered) celebrating ...

Jazz Divas: Gold

by
Various Artists
There are no less than 20 CD compilations on the market with the words "Jazz Divas" in the title, and another eight that use the phrase "Divas of Jazz." Those two nouns, so carelessly bandied about, describe improvising female vocalists whose works are an extension of a tradition established by Bessie Smith, Adelaide Hall, Ethel Waters, Mildred ...

Al Hibbler
Although Al Hibbler collaborated over the years with such brilliant musical minds as Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn, Count Basie, Gerald Wilson, Harry Carney, Ben Webster, Johnny Hodges and Rahsaan Roland Kirk, his work with the Jack Pleis orchestra also may serve as a perfect introduction to this remarkable vocalist. Hibbler's highly developed ...

Lolita Storm
Following the footsteps of pioneering riot grrls is the German outfit Lolita Storm, and like the industrial female artists before them (Hanin Elias, Gina D'Orio), Lolita Storm strikes with a fiery vengeance -- a vengeance against corporate mainstream rock. Their debut album G.F.S.U. is a bold move featuring distorted rockabilly loops layered over ...

by
Al Hibbler
Stylized at times to an almost outrageous degree, the suave and sophisticated voice of Al Hibbler is really unlike that of any other singer ever recorded. His peculiarly chosen dialects, the exaggerated vibrato, the roller coaster plunges into the bass clef and a general air of self-caricature make any Al Hibbler recording a uniquely entertaining ...

The Stylistics
When the Stylistics switched to Amherst in the '80s, their glorious "sweet" soul hits were repackaged on a couple of collections. This was a singular set covering their finest '70s numbers; another package split them into a two-part release. It's slightly improved in sound quality over the 1975 The Best of The Stylistics, and hearing Russell ...

With ska seeding out of the grassroots and into the mainstream, ever more labels were looking to reap the skanking whirlwind, much to the satisfaction of bands who had previously been left to wither (or flourish) under benign neglect. Ska: The Third Wave was originally released in 1995 by Continuum Records, and the New Jersey label inevitably ...

Marvin Gaye's Love Songs: Greatest Duets gathers most of his best-known duets, organizing them by singing partner. After getting off to a poor, but well-meaning start with a 1994 version of "Distant Lover" that pairs Gaye's original vocals with re-recorded vocals by Betty Wright and tinny-sounding production, the album does a 180 by offering up ...

Yet deep in the catalog of the classic jazz label Impulse lies this ambitious, largely successful recording of After the Lights Go Down Low, which shows just how diverse, and indeed brilliant, Freda Payne can be.

Marvin Gaye & Mary Wells
The idea for the pairing of Marvin Gaye and Mary Wells came from Paul & Paula's success with "Hey Paula." The thinking was that if two unknowns could go number one pop, then two popular male and female singers would be a lock -- well, not quite. The first (and only) single release, "What's the Matter With You Baby" b/w "Once Upon a Time," was a ...
