 (1 Customer Review)
One of the great R&B long-players of the '50s, Here's Larry Williams collects nearly all of the Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter's key work ("Bad Boy" and 1967's "Mercy Mercy Mercy" are the only truly essential tracks missing), and a bunch of smokin' obscurities besides. Listening to these tracks, it's clear why John Lennon was such a huge Larry Williams fan; his rough-and-ready no-bull voice is elastic enough to move from a Little Richard trill to a Ray Charles growl, and songs like "Dizzy Miss Lizzy" and "Short Fat Fannie" are raucous enough to be punk rock nearly a full two decades before the concept was even in existence. Of the lesser-known tracks, the giddy Buddy Holly-meets-Richard Berry "You Bug Me, Baby" and the salacious "Little School Girl," featuring a good and greasy sax solo, are the highlights; on the downside, "Ting A Ling" is as slight and tossed-off as its title, and the intrusive female chorus that sounds like it made the wrong turn from the Rosemary Clooney session down the hall is just plain awful. ~ Stewart Mason

Rhythmn GriotsTONY VACCA AND MASSAMBA DIOPTony Vacca on balafon, talking drums, percussion, vocals; Massamba Diop on talking drums and vocals; Assane Diop on talking drum; Tim Moran on saxophones; Steve Leicach on djembe, congas, balafon, shekere and percussion; Joe Sallins on electric bass;Sekou Sylla on djembe and sangban; Special guests, Senegalese hip-hop troupe, Gokh-bi System.Rhythm Griots (pronounced gree-oes) translates into English as "rhythm storytellers," and rhythm is the common ground shared by Massamba Diop and Tony Vacca. Their music is a living, contemporary link between the traditions of West Africa and America. They blend the fiery Wolof drumming of Senegal's famous tama drummer, Massamba Diop, with the percussion spectacle of Tony Vacca's hard-hitting fusion of Jazz, Spoken Word, and World Music.On this recording, Vacca and Diop conspire with their long-time collaboartors from both America and Senegal to create a powerful and rocking blend of traditions. The West African roots of Jazz rhythms and hip-hop rhymes are present in the form of drummer-brothers Assane and Massamba Diop, and also with djemelfola Sekou Sylla, as well as in the innovative sounds of the Dakar rap scene, provided by Gokh-bi System. As if in mirror image, the African sensibility is alive and well inside the fusion of Jazz and World Music that Vacca's ensemble is so adept at creating. Tim Moran on sax, Joe Sallins on electric bass, and Steve Leicach on percussion let you know they get how these traditions are connected. Massamba Diop reminds us of his griot origins, adding two uniquely Senegalese spoken word/chants to his brilliant drumming. If you dig Jazz and World Music, and if you get the connection between the griots and hip-hop, then you should hear this.MORE INFO ON THE GROUP AND THE MUSICTony Vacca is an innovative American-born percussionist whose music incorporates giant West African xylophones, an incredible collection of over twenty Paiste gongs, hand-drums, and a unique drum set/percussion unit. The range of his work could be summarized by the fact that he has performed and/or recorded with pop icon Sting, ...

Please visit Big Lion's website for live music samples and upcoming performances:www.myspace.com/DiGiacomoMusicABOUT MARC DiGIACOMOMarc began playing classical piano when he was 10. When his teacher disappeared without a trace or warning, and Marc wisely realized the musician’s lifestyle was best avoided. He was able to keep the wolves at bay until his senior year in college, when he found himself a bassist in an outfit called the Big Earl Band. Big Earl played stripped-down, high-energy blues rock to packed houses, and quickly became a major ...
