by
James Brown
The 2004 Deluxe Edition of James Brown's Live at the Apollo (recorded in October of 1962 and issued in 1963) really is a deluxe issue. For starters, it was taken from the same undubbed stereo master as the 1990s version, keeping it separate from previously issued versions with overdubbed applause and "fixed" sequences. Because the technology of ...

James Brown
The comps just keep on coming. James Brown's passing in 2007 has -- as it would for virtually any artist of stature, let alone legend, in popular music -- spawned what seems to be a greater number of compilations being issued and reissued than occurred during his long career. This one, for instance, released in June of 2007, seems to have been in ...

Richard "Groove" Holmes
Some wags might claim there's already enough organ-based '60s soul-jazz in the Prestige catalog without throwing a previously unreleased album of the stuff on the bonfire. And your first inclination might be to dismiss this trio date, on which Richard "Groove" Holmes is joined by guitarist Gene Edwards and drummer George Randall, as more of the ...

The Blues and the Beat

by
Henry Mancini
With The Blues and the Beat, Henry Mancini delivered one of his bluesiest, jazziest records. Though it isn't an entirely successful experiment, but it has its share of delightful moments, as proved by "Mood Indigo" and "Sing, Sing, Sing." Mancini could never deliver straight jazz, but his easy, orchestrated approximations are enjoyable as their ...

James Brown
An astonishing record of James and the Flames tearing the roof off the sucker at the mecca of R&B theatres, New York's Apollo. When King Records owner Syd Nathan refused to fund the recording, thinking it commercial folly, Brown single-mindedly proceeded anyway, paying for it out of his own pocket. He had been out on the road night after night for ...

Jimmy Forrest
Despite his general popularity, tenor saxophonist Jimmy Forrest only led this one session after 1962. Recorded less than two years before his death, Forrest was at the time co-leading a group with trombonist Al Grey. This live club date (released on a 1982 Palo Alto LP and not reissued yet on CD) features Forrest in a trio with organist Shirley ...

Big Jack Johnson
Mississippi bluesman Johnson comes North to play in Chicago and the results are indeed satisfying. Taken from two different shows at two different venues (Hothouse and Buddy Guy's Legends) over a period of two years ('94 and '95), Johnson is ably backed by Aaron Burton's band with Lester "Mad Dog" Davenport contributing some nice harp on the set ...

The Roger Kellaway Trio
With his series of Bobby Darin tributes behind him, Roger Kellaway turned his attention to the inspiration for his 21st century trio -- Oscar Peterson's piano/guitar/bass trios of the 1950s. The King Cole Trio may have been a model, too, but above all, it is Peterson's trios that mostly hover over this collection, right down to the song selection, ...

The Dirty Dozen Brass Band
Not at the same level as their debut (My Feet Can't Fail Me Now), the second outing by the Dirty Dozen Brass Band (taken from a couple sets performed at the 1985 Montreux Jazz Festival), Live: Mardi Gras in Montreux is overly loose in spots and has some lightweight material that was better heard live than on record. The party music does have its ...

Connecticut native guitarist Michael Coppola wasn't satisfied to be just a guitar player, albeit it a good one. He began to explore ways of expanding the technical and harmonic boundaries of the stringed instrument. This led him to request master guitar builder Jim DeCava to construct first an eight-string and then the nine-string instrument he ...

The Soul of Sue: The UK Sue Label Story, Vol. 3

Like the first two volumes in this series, this collects a bunch of singles issued on the British Sue label in the 1960s -- some, but far from all, of them licensed from the American Sue label. This is more soul music-centered than its predecessors, and indeed it's a pretty wide, if somewhat haphazard, sampling of American soul singles from 1959 ...
