Live At The Roosevelt Grill Music Review

Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars) 4 stars

4 stars Enjoyable Jazz
Bobby Hackett and Vic Dickenson had been playing together for over ten years when this 1970 live recording was made and it shows. There are no histrionics here, but just good straight-ahead jazz played by two musicians at their peak, backed by a swinging rhythm section headed by pianist Dave McKenna.

Live At The Roosevelt Grill CD music

$15.09

Digitally remastered by Jon Bates (Downtown Sound & Mix Masters). In 1977 -- the year following Bobby Hackett's death at the age of 61 -- producer Hank O'Neal's Chiaroscuro label released a third album of material from Hackett's triumphant 1970 engagement at the Roosevelt Grill in New York. Titled Bobby Hackett Featuring Vic Dickenson at the Roosevelt Grill, the LP was reissued in 1999 as the CD Live at the Roosevelt Grill, Vol. 3. This CD contains everything that was on the original LP, along with four previously unreleased bonus tracks: "Ain't Misbehavin'," "Muskrat Ramble," "Someday Sweetheart," and "I Ain't Gonna Give Nobody None o' This Jelly Roll." O'Neal had taped Hackett's Roosevelt performances extensively, so there was an abundance of material in the vaults. And it's a good thing that O'Neal had the wisdom to do so much taping, ...

Live at the Roosevelt Grill With Vic Dickenson, Vol. 4 catches cornetist Bobby Hackett performing on various nights at the New York City club from March through May of 1970. The '70s were rough for Hackett, who found himself toiling with health problems and financial woes during a time when traditional jazz of any kind was increasingly being ignored by the public. All that is in direct contrast, however, to how beautifully the one-time Bix Beiderbecke disciple plays here. Sharing the ...

Bayou Rockabilly Cats CD (2000) (Import) United Kingdom

Live At The Roosevelt Grill CD music

$19.65

Louisiana's Goldband label is perhaps best known for its Cajun and R&B recordings, but also did record a good deal of hillbilly and rockabilly sides in the '50s. Twenty-six of them are on Bayou Rockabilly Cats, although when the most recognizable artists on a compilation are Al Ferrier, Hopeless Homer, and Goldband chief Eddie Shuler himself (with Eddie Shuler's All Star Reveliers), you know this is one for the specialists. Actually, much of this is not quite standard rockabilly, but country music in the process of making the transition to rockabilly. There are fiddles and steel guitars on plenty of the cuts, and the tempos are often more in the country boogie or two-step mold than they are in rock & roll. Truth be known, that makes this more interesting than many such compilations of obscure rockabilly (such as numerous ones on the Ace label itself), as the country-rockabilly bridge hasn't been documented and investigated ...

About Harmonica JazzA funny thing happened on the way to the 20th Century. This little 10-holed instrument, designed basically for simple melodies, (e.g. "Oh Susanna", etc.), suddenly emerge as a powerfully expressive instrument. Harp players in the early part of this century began discovering new ways of playing the harmonica quite by accident. As these new techniques evolved, the harmonica became perfectly suited to the blues. This was the first paradigm shift.Years later, on the way to the 21st century that same instrument is beginning its own exciting voice in the world of jazz and beyond. This is its second paradigm shift.The methodology for using this 10-hole "Blues Harp" in jazz isn't quite as readily accessible as it is for it's big brother, the 12 or 16-hole chromatic or push button harmonica (e.g. virtuosos Toots Thielmans, Stevie Wonder, etc.), Thanks largely however, to a few modem day pioneers (harp wizard Howard Levy in particular), the 10-hole diatonic harmonica has become a fully chromatic, (3 complete octaves-37 notes) instrument. This is as opposed to its original 19-note limited range.That might sound a little technical, but what's really amazing about all this, is that the basic original design and tuning is exactly the same as it was back then. What has made the difference between then and now however is that all of these modem day pioneers refused to accept the harmonica's "apparent" limitations. In doing so, they discovered challenging and revolutionary playing techniques to advance this, the worlds' most widely played instrument. This recording is my contribution to the endless possibilities and wonderful beginnings of this, the 10-hole harmonica's second paradigm shift. Enjoy! Sandy WeltmanREVIEWS"It's hard to imagine someone being virtuosic on such wildly disparate instruments, but besides harmonica, Weltman is equally known as a banjo player... Unlike the more famous harmonica jazz players such as Toots Thielman, Weltman stretches the limits of the instrument by following his mentor Howard Levy as a pioneer of the basic 10-hole diatonic harmonica brand of blues harps. Weltman has chosen mostly from the jazz repertoire, including: Armstrong's "West End Blues". Goodman's "Slipped Disc", Monks "'Round Midnight" and Jobim's "Triste".
