Recorded live at the Montreux Jazz Festival, Montreux, Switzerland on June 17, 1971. Originally released on Atlantic (1637). Includes liner notes by Mike Hennessey.
This live set from the 1971 Montreux Jazz Festival was co-led by tenor saxophonist King Curtis (who tragically would be killed three months later) and veteran blues pianist/vocalist Champion Jack Dupree. With guitarist Cornell Dupree (in excellent form), bassist Jerry Jemmott and drummer Oliver Jackson laying down the foundation, Curtis and Dupree find a great deal of common musical ground. Dupree has quite a few witty vocals (particularly the near-classic "Junker's Blues") while taking choruses of irregular length that keep his sidemen continually guessing. Curtis' distinctive tenor is also heard from, making one truly regret that this was his final recording. ~ Scott Yanow
King Curtis & Jack Dupree playing together at the festival was a last minute impromptu decision which netted historic results, seasoned session veterans guitarist Cornell Dupree, drummer Oliver Jackson & bassist Jerry Jemmott are in fine form on this original Atlantic recording (1971). 'Junker's Blues', 'Get With It' & the long jam 'Poor Boy Blues' accent this significant accomplishment. Collectables.

A surprise best-seller when it was first released, this mostly improvised pairing of singer/keyboardist/producer Al Kooper with two major guitar heroes of the day sounds fascinating all these years later precisely because of the distance of time--nobody makes records like this any more. The material runs the gamut from folk pop (covers of Donovan and Dylan), to blues ("Albert's Shuffle," "You Don't Love Me"), to ...

Doyle Bramhall began his music career on Fitchburg Street in Dallas, and on his album of the same name he applies a healthy slathering of Texas style to some rock, blues, and soul songs from his youth (and one of his own creations). It's a recipe for a raw, messy, and delicious delight for fans of rough-and-tumble bar band blues. Bramhall's style of Texas blues sounds a lot like Stevie Ray Vaughan, and with good reason: Bramhall influenced the Vaughan style, having co-wrote some of Vaughan's hits, including "Life by the Drop." While Vaughan played it as a soul-wrenching acoustic number on the posthumous The Sky Is Crying, Bramhall picks up the pace to make it a full-throttle rocker. Bramhall's voice is even reminiscent ...

"I am more than impressed, I'm jealous!" - Jim Self, Hollywood recording artist"MJT is the most important thing to happen in tuba jazz yet!" - Sam Pilafian, tuba recording artist and educator"The playing is OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!" - Dean Somerville, tubist and educator"The MJT Project CD is incredible and the high playing in the euphonium section makes me SICK!!" - Steven Mead, euphonium recording artist and educator"This should even top the TUBAJAZZ CONSORT in popularity!" - Bob Tucci, tubist"After the Rich Matteson/Harvey Phillips Tubajazz Consort, I honestly didn't think I would ever hear another group like this again!" - Jerry Young, tubist and educatorThe Modern Jazz Tuba Project (MJT) is a ten-piece modern jazz group consisting of professional jazz musicians, primarily based in Nashville, Tennessee. MJT has already produced two critically acclaimed recordings ("Live at the Bottom Line ", Heartdance Music HDM 1090 & "Favorite Things", Heartdance Music HDM 1120) and has presented performances at the Great American Brass Band Festival in Danville, Kentucky, the U.S. Army Band Tuba Conference in Washington, D.C., the Midwest International Band and Orchestra Clinic in Chicago, the International Tuba Euphonium Conferences in Greensboro, NC, Denver, CO, and the upcoming ITEC 2008 in Cincinatti, OH.This group presents an exciting new approach to contemporary music. With six low brass instrumentalists and a four-piece rhythm section, the MJT Project builds upon over fifty years of tradition utilizing the euphonium and tuba as lead instruments in jazz. This tradition started in the late 1940s with "the birth of the cool" and the collaboration between Miles Davis and Bill Barber on a number of recordings arranged by Gil Evans, and was extended through the 1950s by Harvey Phillips (the Sauter-Finegan Orchestra, Gil Evans, etc.) and Don Butterfield (Clark Terry, Dizzy Gillespie, Charles Mingus and others).By the late 1950s, bands were actually fronted by tubists such as Ray Draper ...
