Studying the photograph of drummer Roy Haynes on 2004's aptly named FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH, it is difficult to believe that the drummer was--at the time the record was released--79 years of age. Haynes is beaming with youthful vitality in the photo, and his drumming on the album is no less vigorous, idea-filled, and tasteful than it was when he backed Lester Young, Charlie Parker, Sarah Vaughan, Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane, and Miles Davis in the 1940s and '50s.
In part, Haynes's energy may have to do with his choice to work with musicians young enough to be his grandchildren. Bassist John Sullivan, pianist Martin Bejerano, and saxophonist/bass clarinetist Marcus Strickland make for stimulating, progressive company, pushing and prodding Haynes to new edges as they are simultaneously driven by his busy polyrhythms. Bop and hard-bop flavors dominate the program, with three tunes by Monk (his frantic "Twinkle Trinkle" and lovely "Ask Me Now" are two highlights) taking center stage along with a brisk rendition of Irving Berlin's "Remember." With no dearth of musical strength and invention at any point on FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH, it does in fact seem like Haynes has stumbled onto some kind of secret.

Fountain Of Youth album

After ten years or so of performing with Cordelia's Dad, Tim Eriksen has released his self-titled debut. The first thing an old fan will notice is the bareness of the arrangements, with Eriksen accompanying himself on guitar, fiddle, banjo, and guitar with no overdubs. Infused with old-time fiddle and vocals, songs like "Hick's Farewell" and "Garden Hymn" are well founded in traditional Appalachian folk. Eriksen's vocal and guitar work is mesmerizing on the nearly seven-minute "Brown Girl," a haunting tale of love, betrayal, and murder. Part of what makes this song, and others, like "I Wish the Wars Were All Over," so successful is the deliberate pacing. The interplay between guitar and voice creates a measured tension in the lyrics. All of the instrumental work is impressive. There's a great guitar workout on "Mobile Serenade Polka/Shep Jones Hornpipe," and the banjo is given its due on "Last Chance." Eriksen takes greater vocal risks, singing unaccompanied, on "Farewell to Old Bedford," "Hope," "Dress in Blue," and "Village Churchyard." The first three work well, and clock in at two minutes or less, a length that seems to work well with a cappella singing. "Village Churchyard," though, runs almost eight minutes, and represents the most daring vocal on the album. Some listeners may find his approach over-exuberant and overlong. While Eriksen is clearly digging deep into folk tradition on this album, he is also using his distinct approach to put his personal stamp on this music. This gives traditional-based tracks like the "Lass of Glenshee" and "Leave Your Light On" a contemporary edge. Tim Eriksen goes a step further than recent Cordelia's Dad albums, exploring the roots of old-time folk in spare settings. Traditional music enthusiasts will enjoy this one. ~ Ronnie D. Lankford, Jr.

A BluesWax Reprint (excerpt)This review originally ran in BluesWax on April 5, 2007Terry Gillespie & the Granary BandBrother of the BluesBluesWax Rating: 9 out of 10Raise Some HairsToday their music is a sweet tiramisu consisting of liquor-soaked layers of Blues, Reggae, Country, and Jazz. This follow up album consists of eleven songs, ten written by Gillespie. Each of the well-crafted tunes contains a hook, sometimes lyrical, while other times a riff, arrangement, or sentimentality. The band includes Terry Gillespie (guitar, vocals, trumpet), Stepehen Barry (bass), Gordon Adamson (drums, percussion), Peter Measroch (piano, organ), Jody Golick (saxophones), and Martin Boodman (harmonicas). Opening with "Brother of The Blues," Gillespie writes and sounds like Greg Brown. The surprise here is a funky little beat that powers the song. The careful choice of words and phrasing makes it stick in your head. On "Yellow Moon" the surprise is the Ska sounding horns that join in on the second verse. Jody Golick's saxophone is infectious. "Big Boy" is a Rockabilly treat, "when I grow up I want to have a big band," once again it's the big band-styled horns that pick it up in the middle. Terry Gillespie's soft trumpet on "Carl Nicholson" begins a Jimmy Cliff-influenced Reggae tribute to Gillespie's musical influences, including Carl Nicholson, Steve Valentine, and Van Morrison. Terry Gillespie sounds like Van Morrison when he sings on "Love Again" and Peter Measroch's piano is perfect. "Cold Ground" is a Hoyt Axton-sounding Country Blues with nice harp playing by Martin Boodman. "Those Days Are Gone" rollicks and Terry sounds like Bob Dylan. "Change My Style" is the only song on the album not written by Gillespie and he credits it as being "traditional." "Rue Guy Boogie" is the best Blues on the album and once again Jody Golick on saxophone solos nicely. "Bathtub" probably started as a kid's song, but it is so much fun as it Reggaes out, horns and all. "Krushev" at first seems dated, but after several listens one imagines it is also a children's song that has somehow grown up. Sue Foley plays lead guitar and credits Terry Gillespie as a major influence in ...
