This CD reissue features trumpeter Booker Little at the beginning of his tragically brief career. The first six selections find the distinctive soloist playing with a quintet also including the young tenor George Coleman, pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist Art Davis, and drummer Max Roach (who was his regular employer at the time). Little contributed three now-obscure originals and also plays two standards and an early version of Miles Davis' "Milestones." The remainder of the CD has lengthy versions of "Things Ain't What They Used to Be" and "Blue 'n Boogie" from a jam session that matched Little with fellow Memphis-based players including Coleman, altoist Frank Strozier, and the masterful pianist Phineas Newborn. Overall, this forward-looking hard bop set is easily recommended. ~ Scott Yanow

Booker Little 4 & Max Roach CD music
$10.19 
In February of 2002, Warner/Rhino offered up two Travis Tritt compilations, one spotlighting his "Rockin' Side," the other his "Lovin' Side." Titles don't come much clearer than that, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that both compilations deliver on their promise without straying from their template. Because they stick to a theme, neither has all of his hits, but that's not a problem since the selected hits -- in this case, tunes like "T-R-O-U-B-L-E" and "Ten Feet Tall and Bulletproof" -- are surrounded by sharp selections from his albums, giving each compilation a surprisingly well-rounded feel. Of the two, The Rockin' Side is superior because Tritt sounds livelier, freer, truer in this setting than he does crooning ballads, and the material is also far more consistent. Note that this really does take "rockin'" seriously, meaning that honky tonk numbers (and big hits) like "Country Club" and "Here's a Quarter (Call Someone Who Cares)" are entirely absent, but those looking for either the "Rockin' Side" or "Lovin' Side" of Travis Tritt will find either ...

Join Jayc Harold for his CD release party of Hard Times at the Nashville Palace newly located across from Opryland Hotel in the heart of Music Valley . The party begins at 5:30 with complimentary drinks and food. "Jayc is an exceptional songwriter with a voice drenched in passion. He is an incredible lead guitar player with a voice and style reminiscent of Buck Owens and Keith Whitley. His voice and talent could carry him easily in the secular market, but he chooses a narrow path with a higher calling! If you love good Country music, Jayc Harold will show up and deliver," says good friend and fellow artist, Greg McDougal. NextNumberOne Music Group President Patricia Smith says, "Jayc is an experienced performer who has proven himself on the road in front of large audiences including; Country music fans, Christian Country and Americana. His unique vocals and style command the stage. Comments from diverse music fans have proved to be enthusiastic, a dynamic powerful testament to Jayc's ability to please an audience no matter the genre. While there are times one gets lost in his tall good looks, one quickly finds their way back into the passion of his unique style and the stage presence he exudes.” Jayc has seen his share of hard times. When he was 10 years old, his older brother passed away and left the family in turmoil. Tragically, a year later, his older sister passed away. This turned his father to the bottle, only adding to the family's grief. As the eldest son, Jayc began working 40 hours a week in the family's automotive shop while going to school full time. Married at the age of 20, Jayc had built a very successful roofing company. Jayc started drifting away from his faith thinking money would help him fill the hole in his soul left by the tremendous amount of grief he had experienced in his short life. By the age of 25, he opened an automotive shop and later turned it into a used car dealership. Although his endeavors turned out very successful, buying ‘things’ did not fill the void in his soul. Tragedy struck again when his wife was expecting their third child. His mother had been diagnosed with cancer which would turn out to be fatal. The day before she passed away, she spoke some words to his father that he will never forget. She said, "If only our boys would do what they were put on ...
