Down Beat (p.78) - 3 stars out of 5 - "[The musicians] prefer to present their originals in a wonderfully direct fashion that's as uncluttered as it is temperate. Shelton, who possesses a nicely tart, melancholic tone, is the music's focal point..." Dragons 1976 On Cortez Songs | 1. | Canopy |

Purchase On Cortez CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Reggie Workman Summit Conference CD (1993)
On Cortez
 $5.85 
For this inspired 1994 date, veteran bassist Reggie Workman assembled four fellow avant-garde luminaries: pianist Andrew Hill, saxophonist Sam Rivers, trombonist Julian Priester, and drummer Pheeroan akLaff. By the usual standards of these highly adventurous players, the record is relatively accessible, but it does makes for challenging listening. ...
| | William Parker Raining On The Moon CD (2002)
On Cortez
$14.29
William Parker continues to go beyond the status quo on Raining on the Moon, his second offering in labelmate Matthew Shipp's Blue Series. Known mostly to a coterie of specialists in a niche field of avant-garde bass players, Parker's discography represents his enormous value to the new avant-garde movement of the 21st century. His works of progression get better with each offering, and this time around Parker departs from his previous solo albums and collaborations to team with vocalist Leena Conquest. As lead singer on six songs, Conquest reflects the avant-garde black folk art that Parker emanates from a bassist's perspective. She applies her splendid vocal colorings to his spirituality and musical visions and freely melds with the ensemble's riveting stretches. Along with Rob Brown on alto and flute, Lewis ...

On Cortez
$19.69
Recorded between 1965 and 1970. Includes liner notes by Jim Bessman.
Is a three-CD set of the Siegel-Schwall Band -- including all four of their Vanguard albums (spanning 1966-1970) in their entirety, along with six previously unissued cuts -- too much to take at once? In a word, yes. If you're a blues-rock history nut, though -- and there must be some such listeners out there -- it is a handy collection that gathers every last shred of recorded evidence of their early years. In the Chicago-style 1960s white blues sweepstakes, the group lagged way behind the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, an unavoidable reference point due to the similarity of approach and ...

| | Passport Doldinger Jubille Concert CD (1975)
On Cortez
$9.69  
Recorded live at Onkel Po's Carnegie Hall, Hamburg, Germany on August 28-29, 1975. Includes liner notes by Arthur Levy.
It's a curious fact that the presence of virtuoso guests on a live album can sometimes subtract from the actual quality of the performance. So it is on this release, which features splendid players like Les McCann, Buddy Guy, Pete York, and Philip Catherine on a mixed set of Passport favorites and standards. Unfortunately, the word that best describes most of the performances is overheated. The thing that makes Passport's work special is the uncommon delicacy with which arranger Klaus Doldinger straddles the line between jazz and rock. Alas, on Doldinger Jubilee '75, everything is played at full throttle, with a busy percussion background that doesn't leave space for pauses and soft passages. At times the result is embarrassing, with the band showing great enthusiasm but a complete loss of subtlety. Listeners are left with Passport the high-energy rock band, which is good as far as energetic rock bands go, but not up to the level expected from this band or these soloists. ~ Richard Foss

| | Larry Stephenson Life Stories CD (2006)
On Cortez
$14.65
There are a number of things to recommend Larry Stephenson's approach to traditional bluegrass, but above them all stands his high and lonesome lead vocals on Life Stories. Whatever his background, his vocal style sounds authentic, leaving the impression that he grew up in the South where he rose early each morning to work on the family farm. The stories that grace the album likewise leave the impression of an older rural culture where folks sat around the stove in the evening telling tales. These stories, "Poor Old Cora" and "The Knoxville Boy," cover the gauntlet of human tragedies, from a girl left ...
