More Soul is Hank Crawford's first album as a leader, issued in 1960 after he left the Ray Charles band. Leading a septet on a debut is am ambitious feat, but in Crawford's case, it is also an impressive one. The material is sweet, signing and deftly played by an ensemble that includes David "Fathead" Newman on tenor, Leroy "Hog" Cooper on baritone, and a brass section that features John Hunt and Philip Guilbeau. Edgar Willis plays bass and drummer Milt Turner rounds out the proceedings. The material is swinging, front-ended, soul-inflected hard bop with tunes arranged by Crawford -- the lone exception being James Moody's "The Story" (one of two selections by him here) charted by Charles. The union of blues, soul and swing as evidenced by the group's read of the nugget "Angel Eyes," or Bobby Timmons' and Oscar Brown's "Dat Dere," or Crawford's own "Four Five Six" established a signature for the saxophonist, one that he has kept at the forefront of his sound for over 40 years. Crawford's tone as a soloist is sweet yet edgy and raw, full of emotion and warmth. If the material is basic, it nonetheless is timeless and More Soul sounds as true and blue in the 21st century as it did when it was released.. ~ Thom Jurek

Prior to this release, Lauren Newton had been rather quiet, especially when compared to her recorded output from the early to mid-'90s. It seems she had been busy stripping down her vocal art, exploring more quiet and abstract forms. Out of Sound finds her in great company with bassist Joëlle Léandre and saxophonist Urs Leimgruber, who ...

Reissues can be quite revealing when a band has been around for a decade or more. A reissue might demonstrate that a band's sound has pretty much stayed the same over the years, or it might make the listener say, "You know, this band has done a lot of evolving since this album was recorded." Arch Enemy's debut album, Black Earth (which was recorded in 1996 and reissued in the United States by Regain in 2007), is definitely an example of the latter. Between 1996 and 2007, Arch Enemy experienced some lineup changes, and their approach became increasingly polished along the way. That isn't to say that Black Earth is not well played or short on chops, only that ...

Notes from Cabaret Country(Lion and Lark Songs)Anyone who can use the phrase "icky poo" in a lyric and make it work is someone to be not just admired but probably canonized. Ah, St. Babbie. Seems fitting. Coming hot on the heels of their first collaboration, last year's Two, Babbie Green and John Boswell are together again - or perhaps they were never apart. Whatever the timeline, the magic that Green and Boswell began with Two continues full strength on 'Bye Now ... With a subtitle of Notes from Cabaret Country and a cover photo of the two in cowboy hats, one might expect a set more tinged with a country feel. And though there is a good dose of rural rhythm, Green and Boswell refuse to be pegged and freely mix styles on a group of all-new songs by Green (with one getting musical collaboration from Boswell). The result is another absolute winner and candidate for the year's best. With the pure honesty in Green's vocals and Boswell's great keyboard work and vocal backing, 'Bye Now ... flows from the gentle country rock of The Light of the Love and comic delight of Cowboy Hat to the achingly surprising It Don't Take a Boy (friendship from a totally different perspective) and love loss of And It's Okay. How love can haunt the soul is at the core of What'll I Do About You? and how it goes on propels the hypnotic Wherever the Sparrow Goes. Oh, the "icky-poo?" It's what Small People "leave all over the place." Small-minded people, that is. 'Bye Now ... ? Not for this listener, who's said, "Hi again," to this treasure over a dozen times since it arrived. (****) Review, by Rob Lester - talkinbroadway BABBIE GREEN & JOHN BOSWELL 'BYE NOW...:NOTES FROM CABARET COUNTRY Lark and Lion As represented here, Cabaret Country is governed by good taste and wit and populated with intriguing songs with its main export being love. The album title of Babbie Green and John Boswell's 'Bye Now ... Notes from Cabaret Country is also a play on words indicating that the genres of cabaret and country music are mixed ... sort of. Not to worry if either style's stereotype excesses aren't what you like to listen to. There is no hushed nightclubby feel or twangy steel guitars. This material and the performances emphasize the quality that both kinds of music often share: sincerity and directness. Two was last year's delightful CD by Babbie and John, subtitled Duets ... Mostly. This second teaming ...
