Jay Mcshann Swingmatism Songs Swingmatism Music Review Average Rating: (3 out of 5 stars)  Hi John Norris
Jay hurt his foot recently but is fine, wearing a plastic protective boot. Control freak Mary Ann, his common law spouse, said he'd never play again (quoted by KC Star) but that's not true. He said, "Mary Ann, I don't play piano with my feet!" Please send me complimentary copy of "Solos and Duets" plus "Cafe des Copains", hope my Living Blues oral history of Jay entertained you and that my intro brought you well deserved credit, acclaim, recognition and sales. You were/are a true visionary, John.
Warm regards from John Brisbin

Ray Burns, better known to nearly everyone as Captain Sensible, once said, "The Damned, much as I love them, were just hell-for-leather destruction merchants." However, the good Captain doesn't seem to appreciate that it was the Damned's glorious recklessness, especially in their early days, that made them so memorable -- while most of the first wave of British punk bands had some sociopolitical axe to grind or a fashion statement to make, the Damned just wanted to play fast, loud, and frantic, and nearly 30 years after they were recorded, the group's first single ("New Rose" b/w "Help") and first album (Damned Damned Damned) have worn far better than what most of their contemporaries were doing at the time. The Damned's earliest sides were issued by the then-fledgling Stiff Records, whose fondness for absurdity and good-natured scams made them worthy partners for the path-breaking punks, and Play It at Your Sister is a boxed set collection that features everything the Damned recorded during their 16 months as Stiff recording artists. Opening with three June 1976 demos and closing with the band's misbegotten second LP, Music for Pleasure, Play It at Your Sister documents the rise and fall of the Damned Version 1.0 as well as you could hope, including some stellar live material from two John Peel sessions and a May 1977 concert recorded for BBC Radio One. While the band got tighter and more muscular during the course of their tenure with Stiff, part of the charm of these recordings is that the band knew what they wanted to do right off the bat, and the speed-fueled attack of "New Rose" isn't especially different from the highlights of the Music for Pleasure sessions (though it doesn't take long to figure out that Nick Lowe was far better suited to produce the Damned than Nick Mason). The Damned split up for a short spell after Music for Pleasure ...
| | Bubber Miley Rare Recordings (1924-1931) CD (2005)
Swingmatism music CDs
$12.89
Bubber Miley was one of the great trumpeters of the 1920s, a master of the plunger mute who largely developed the growling "jungle sound" that made Duke Ellington's early orchestra so distinctive. Miley, the predecessor of Cootie Williams with Ellington, is heard on a variety of intriguing and often-classic recordings on this CD, which covers the span of his relatively brief career. His pre-Ellington period is represented by recordings with the Texas Blue Destroyers (a duet with the spooky-sounding reed organ of Arthur Ray), the Kansas City Five, and Clarence Williams' Blue Five ("I've Found a New Baby"). The nine numbers from Miley's years with Ellington (1926-1928 plus 1924's "Rainy Nights") focus more on rarities than hits, and show that he was the band's most notable and colorful soloist. After the trumpeter was fired by Ellington due to his increasing unreliability because of alcoholism in early 1929, he became the lone black member of Leo Reisman's white society orchestra, an unusual role that worked. All of Miley's solos with Reisman are on this CD, including a classic rendition of "What ...
| | Kenyon Dudley CD (2007)
Swingmatism songs
$13.15
Kenyon Dudley, a native of Atlanta, GA, has his first Contemporary Christian-Praise & Worship CD ready for the world to hear and be changed by the messages in each song, as they go from praise to worship, from encouraging decrees and declarations to up-lifting chants! He believes that he has been set on this earth to totally and completely change the lives of men, with the gospel, in every way possible. He has not been called just to do the work that his forefathers have done, but he has been called to go way beyond what they’ve done and to set a path for the next generations to come! He is put on this earth to become all things to all men that he might reach them on their levels! This first project simply titled, Kenyon Dudley, surely exemplifies that last statement. Kenyon, not only believes, but knows that if it had not been for trials, tribulations, obstacles, and set-backs in his life then he would not be who God has made him to be, today! Because of life, he has been shaped and molded into an awesome 17 year old young man of God who, not only declares the victory of Jesus Christ, but lives in it!His new project, ‘Kenyon Dudley’, begins with ‘Welcome Holy Spirit’, which beckons the Holy Spirit to come into our lives and rest in our hearts as we endow God with our praises each and every day of our lives. ‘I Can Make It’, the fourth song on the album, just sums the entire CD up! In this inspirational declaration you will come to realize that you can make it through anything! Kenyon wrote this song through the eyes of David, in the bible! Although David was king and very influential he still had problems and he still fell short of the glory. Yet and still he continued to encourage himself in the Lord. He never gave up on God or his calling. He had an ‘I Can Make It’ attitude!Kenyon began singing in the church at the age of 2. He recognized the passion and calling on his life for ...
