| | Morgy Craig Hoosier Mystic CD Morgy Craig Discography of CDs
An excellent hard bop tenor-saxophonist based in the Midwest who passed away in the latter part of the 1990s, Morgy Craig recorded relatively little during his life. The release of this live performance, therefore, is an important historic event. Craig sounds pretty strong and creative as he digs into eight standards in a quartet with pianist Phil DeGreg, bassist Bob Bodley and drummer Steve Barnes. Craig, other than a few slight hints of Sonny Rollins, had an original sound and a hard-driving yet relaxed improvising style. He sounds in excellent form on such numbers as "Don't Get Around Much Anymore," "Skylark," "Groovin' High" and "Night And Day" while his verbal announcements between songs are good-humored, informative and quite friendly. J Curve has done the music world a major favor by releasing this tribute to Morgy Craig's music. ~ Scott Yanow
this is late saxophonist Morgy Craig's only known recording - it's a live album feat. accompaniment by the Phil DeGreg Trio; together they play loose, happy, warm & soulful renditions of a number of jazz classics, and it swings from start to finish
Recorded live at the First Unitarian Church, Cincinnati, Ohio on March 13, 1994. Includes liner notes by Phil DeGreg.
Personnel: Morgy Craig (tenor saxophone); Phil DeGreg (piano); Bob Bodley (bass); Steve Barnes (drums).

Basically, this "greatest hits of all" is simply that: the highest-charting tracks in George Benson's long career -- highest-charting pop and adult contemporary tracks, that is. Benson had been on the scene over a decade before signing with Warner Bros., and many of his jukebox and R&B hits were recorded ...

Link Wray was one of rock & roll's first bone fide guitar heroes, and his speaker-shredding buzzy chords were as distinctive a sound as anyone conjured up in rock's early years. So Link's old fans were thrown for a loop when, in 1971, the man made a comeback after several years along the margins with a self-titled album that set aside his big slabs of fretboard fuzz in favor of a loosely ...

Hoosier Mystic songs
$10.79
Recorded in June 1956. Originally released on Tradition Records (1005). Includes liner notes by Paul Clayton.
Paul Clayton's first commercial album, and a classic of its genre. The unifying element for these 20 songs was Herman Melville -- in the wake of his entertaining at the premiere of the 1956 John Huston movie, Clayton was asked to cut an album of sea songs that would have been known in Melville's time, the 1840s, and the result was these 20, a selection of short-drag shanties, much longer halyard shanties, and captain's shanties, all used in connection with different jobs and activities aboard ship. They're passionate, lusty, funny, ironic, and often laced with a mood of sadness, for these pieces were usually sung by men who were in the midst of months away from land and loved ones. Along with Englishman A.L. Lloyd, Clayton was the foremost exponent of whaling and seafaring songs during the '50s, and this album was his magnum opus -- his singing is authentically rough and unembellished, making the folk stars of the '50s and '60s sound like the most pretentious things on two legs, yet he manages a subtle sweetness in his tone. His guitar work is as nimble as any in folk music, yet straightforward and never over-embellished. A surprising number of songs here, including "The Maid of Amsterdam" (aka "A-Roving") and "Shenandoah," remain familiar today, though there's little familiar with Clayton's stripped-down rendition of "Shenandoah." There's also nothing repetitive about any of the songs here, or a bland or unmemorable tune on this CD, and some of the material was apparently discovered by Clayton himself in the course of his research. The annotation is extremely thorough, with Clayton crediting his teachers and sources (especially Stanley Slade) and giving an account of the suspected origins and histories of each ...
