| | Howlin Wolf Great CD - Import Howlin Wolf Discography of CDs
Chester Burnett (or Howlin' Wolf, as he came to be known) brought a feral fire to his vocals that made him sound like a gale force hurricane in front of the microphone. But he was far from a loose cannon. He had remarkable control over that voice, and it shows in this selection, although it is a wee bit on the brief and random side. The various collections of his 1950sChess material (and, to a somewhat lesser extent, the slightly earlier Sun material) are still the way to go for listeners who truly want to hear this force of nature at his best. ~ Steve Leggett Great Review

FROM THE CRADLE won the 1995 Grammy Award for Best Traditional Blues Album. It was also nominated for Album Of The Year.
Some 30 years after cutting BLUESBREAKERS with John Mayall, Slowhand is back--and he's plugged in, too. From the Elmore James-styled slide grunge that heralds Leroy Carr's classic "Blues Before Sunrise," to his sweet, pearly tones on an agonizingly slow "Third Degree," it's clear that FROM THE CRADLE really is your parents' Eric Clapton.
Nearly every album Clapton's ever done has had a suggestion of his roots. But there's more than a suggestion of blues on impassioned, unhinged solos like "Five Long Years," "It Hurts Me Too" and "Someday ...

In jazz terminology, the term "front line" doesn't refer to wartime combat; the term refers to the horn players in a small group. Most front lines in jazz quintets consist of trumpet and sax, but rarely does one encounter a bop or post-bop front line that excludes the trumpet and opts for a sax/trombone union instead. However, the combination of tenor sax and trombone without a trumpet worked marvelously well for the Jazz Crusaders in the '60s, and it's a combination that Across 7 Street uses to their advantage on Made in New York. That isn't to say that this N.Y.C. group is in a class with the Jazz Crusaders or that Across 7 Street actually sounds like them, only that the tenor/trombone front line is a big part of this album's appeal. Tenor player Chris Byars and trombonist John Mosca are a likable combination, and the hard bop group has a solid rhythm section in pianist Sacha Perry, bassist Ari Roland, and drummer Danny Rosenfeld. To their credit, the musicians do all of the writing themselves -- they don't perform any overdone warhorses -- and the material has a strong '50s flavor. Made in New York is an appropriate title for this CD -- not only because it really was recorded in the Big Apple, but also because it fondly recalls a time when Bud Powell, J.J. Johnson, Max Roach, Art Taylor, and a young Sonny Rollins were all part of the Manhattan club scene. There is no acknowledgment of modal jazz, avant-garde jazz, jazz-funk, or fusion on this release; Made in New York is bop all the way, and the performances sound like they could have been recorded in 1953 or 1954 instead of 2002. While Made in New York falls short of mind-blowing, it's a solid and respectable, if derivative, outing that fans of '50s-style bop will enjoy. ~ Alex Henderson
Sunday night patrons didn't ride in on the Friday and Saturday night bandwagon. Sunday nights at Smalls were for listeners and people off the beaten path. They came to listen to the music and thumb their noses at Monday morning. For nine years, they came to Smalls every Sunday to hear Across 7 Street. The smart, dark-edged music of this quintessential New York jazz group was the perfect tonic, a reminder that there was intelligent life in the universe. The name of the group is an oblique reference to the unheralded passing of an underground legend, the late saxophonist Clarence "C" Sharpe, who performed with members of this group, and who made the abstract progression from the University of the Streets on one side of East 7th Street, to the Peter Jarema Funeral Home on the other side. The tribute might now be extended as well to the late Frank Hewitt. The members of Across 7 Street were all born and raised in NY. All were early standouts, establishing themselves on the New York jazz scene in their teenage years. Chris, Ari, Sacha, and Danny excelled in Barry Harris' workshops in their early years, and learned much from accompanying the elder players on the New York scene at the time, players such as C Sharpe, Frank Hewitt, Junior Cook, ...
