Although it is far from definitive, Rebound/Polygram Special Markets' Greatest Hits is a pretty good sampler of Brook Benton's classic recordings for Mercury. There are a number of hits that are missing, but "Baby (You've Got What It Takes)," "The Boll Weevil Song," "Rainy Night in Georgia" and "Frankie and Johnny" make it worth its budget price, since they're all indelible classics. That can't be said for the rest of the collection, which ranges from the very good to the very silly (such as "The Intoxicated Rat," for instance). Some collectors may find the oddities worth the budget price, while casual fans will likely find enough hits to make it worthwhile. Neither group will find it satisfactory, since it teeters between the hits and the obscure, but such matters as price cancel out such concerns. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine Brook Benton Greatest Hits Songs Greatest Hits Review

COUNTRY CATTIN' - BIOG-Dave Brown - Vocals / Rhythm Guitar (Hicksville Bombers)Mandy Stroud - Double Bass (Smokey Mountain Boys)Johnny Vee - Lead Guitar (Cat Scratch Fever)Chris Cummings - Lap-Steel (The Riverside Trio)Country Cattin' was formed about 1999 with original members Dave Brown - Vocals/Rhythm Guitar, Paul Chambers - Double Bass, Nathan Young - Lead GuitarDave has always had a passion for the pure clean foot tapping sound of Country Rockabilly. The early Elvis, Johnny Cash, Johnny Horton, Buddy Holly, Hank Snow, Hank Williams to name just a few, he also loved the sound of a Double bass, when it's slapped it can replace the sound of a drum, so a project was born to recreate that type of sound. Dave's other passion is song writing which is why he loves country music because of the story telling within the songs. So he tries to combine these with Country Cattin'. With this line up two albums where released on Vampirella records- ' It's Saturday Night', and 'Talk of the town' both albums are played regularly on radio stations But with 'Talk of the town' the title track 'Talk of the town' got some airplay in Nashville, also the track 'A Tree In The Park' got played on radio 2 a few times both tracks where self-written. In 2004 a change in bass player Guy Trigg replaced Paul and another album was recorded, as it was Elvis' 70th Birthday coming up, also 50 years since Elvis' first recordings they where asked to play an early Elvis set at the Royal Concert Hall with some big stars as a tribute to Elvis, so with this in mind they recorded an album of early Elvis 'Sun' tracks in a vintage studio using the same instruments and recording techniques, 'Sun Worship' was released and has had some good reviews as well as a booking in France for an Elvis festival.2005 has seen a big change in the line-up with the original members getting tired of travelling and Nathan going to Live in Spain with his parents things looked bleak for Country Cattin'.Dave was determined to carry on his passion and so for a while used stand-in musicians until one day, Dave was let down at the last minute with a Bass player, so he rung up everyone he knew and finally found Mandy Stroud who is an excellent Double bass player and must be the best looking female bass player in the country. Mandy has had some great success playing with the popular 'Smokey Mountain Boys' she agreed to help out with the gig which proved a great success and has joined as a permanent Double bass player. Through the bands web-site Dave had advertised for a guitarist with the same passion and although had received quite a few enquires he eventually got Johnny Vagianos who's enthusiasm ...

KölnMusik Big Band - Cologne Concert Big Band»My, my, my, what a great band!« (Marlena Shaw)The Cologne Concert Big Band was founded in 1992 at the Cologne Philharmonie.The Orchestra is set up as a classical big band with five saxophones, five trumpets, four trombones, piano, bass and drums.The musicians of the Cologne Concert Big Band are all renowned jazz musicians, who influenced the European music-scene of the Sixties, as well as young musicians, who have already found world wide recognition in various musical formations.The Cologne Concert Big Band performs in the tradition of the great jazz orchestras. The repertoire consists of contemporary compositions as well as legendary swing titles.What people have to say about theCologne Concert Big Band:ï± Â»Only a big band with uncompromising musicians tries to resist commercial madness.It so happened in Cologneâs Gloria Theatre. Of all cities it could actually only happen in CologneâŠÂ«(Sven Ferchow | Musicoutlook)ï± Â»Forty years ago the Kenny Clarke-Francy Boland-Big Band showed how to gain a big fan community not only through top musicians, but also through an individual line of arrangements, which were of a quality and standard of its own. In the same manner the Cologne Concert Big Band has achieved â in just a few years â to find its own profile.The Cologne Concert Big Band stands for a musical program line unmistakably of its own, like one could find in the big bands of Duke Ellington, like they came into existence in the orchestras of Jimmy and Tommy Dorsey, like they moulded the orchestras of Artie Shaw.The big sounding names of the »History Of Jazz« are gathered together whenever the Cologne Concert Big Band goes on stage. With the orchestraâs own soundand a number of arrangements especially written for them, the musicians represent a steady dimension in the landscape of the jazz orchestrasâŠÂ«(Dr. Robert von Zahn | Joseph Haydn-Institut)ï± Â»A lot of fans will still vividly remember January 15, 1993. On this day the widely observed debut of a jazz orchestra took place, that in the meantime has established itself among the best-known bands in Germanyâs concert halls. Years of continual work with a lot of concerts have paid its dues. The Cologne Concert Big Band is a trade name, most of all in its place of origin, the Cologne Philharmonie. Annually the concerts of the Cologne Concert Big Band are an event in its own concert ...
