Vocalist/pianist Diana Krall was a very hot property by the time this Impulse CD was released. Teamed in a trio with her regular guitarist Russell Malone and bassist Christian McBride, Krall here mostly emphasizes ballads having something to do with love. She is at her best on "I Don't Know Enough About You," "I Don't Stand a Ghost of a Chance ...

Johnny Adams
Whenever Johnny Adams does a repertory album, it's as much his own showcase as a forum for the spotlighted composer. Even Percy Mayfield's lyrically brilliant works didn't hamper Adams from displaying his special magic; his treatments on the session's ten tunes ranged from excellent to magnificent. Adams was gripping on "My Heart Is Hangin' Heavy, ...

Roomful of Blues
At the end of 1997, several members left the band, leaving their ranks decimated. But the remaining members brought in new blood, regrouped, and opened up their musical outlook to start auditioning new material (rather than just covering old standards and obscure items), and 1998 saw the new Roomful of Blues hit the racks and the road. New ...

Lessons in Living

by
Mose Allison
Recorded in a live setting in 1982 -- the same year as his Middle Class White Boy album -- Lessons in Living is a mixed bag. The material is terrific, and Mose Allison is in typically fine form. The issue lies more with the "all-star" band assembled for the date: bassist Jack Bruce, drummer Billy Cobham, and soloists Eric Gale (guitarist) and Lou ...

The Word from Mose Allison
(1964)
more music like this
by
Mose Allison
This iconoclastic performer has sometimes been described as a country blues player, perhaps leading to images of a blind man standing on a corner playing a guitar with a bottleneck slide. In reality, Mose Allison is from a much more cosmopolitan tradition, and the country blues adage comes from attempts to describe the sound he gets playing light, ...

Stompy Jones, a two-horn quintet plus singer Chris Binnings, romps their way through honking saxophone features, Louis Jordan-type pieces, bits of retro swing, some Earl Bostic, and plenty of heated and explosive jump jazz. This is the type of music that was popular just prior to rock & roll and Stompy Jones sounds quite authentic, boasts superior ...

The insightful songwriting skills of this West Coaster were matched by his wry, plaintive vocal delivery (Mayfield was usually his own best interpreter). The 25 sides here date from his hit-laden 1950-1954 stay at Art Rupe's Specialty logo and include his universal lament "Please Send Me Someone to Love," and the resolutely downbeat "Strange ...

Percy Mayfield is known equally for a string of hits he penned and recorded form 1950-1952. After a nasty accident that left him permanently disfigured he shied away from public performance, but continued to record, and became Ray Charles' right-hand man as a songwriter (anyone remember a little ditty called "Hit the Road Jack"?).
