The British reissue label See For Miles mostly specializes in psychedelia and progressive rock, making their reissue of Davey Graham's 1970 classic GODINGTON BOUNDRY seem a bit odd at first blush. However, one listen to this beautifully pastoral yet complex and wide-ranging album reveals its influence on British progressive rock of the early '70s-particularly on Graham's fellow guitarists Mike Oldfield and Kevin Ayers.
The first star of the '60s British folk scene, the Scottish-Guyanese Graham had already had a direct influence on such acolytes as Paul Simon, John Renbourn, and Bert Jansch. All three musicians recorded versions of Graham's signature composition, "Angi." By the turn of the decade, however, Graham's own music had begun to incorporate influences from a wide variety of ethnic musics. Here, for example, the drones of North African and India delicately influence one of Graham's all-time finest performances, a virtuoso solo guitar rendition of Thelonious Monk's "Round Midnight."
This release marks a welcome return to CD for "Godington Boundry", Davy Graham's sole President album recorded in 1970. In keeping with those he made for Decca, it's an unashamedly esoteric blend of the influences dear to his heart. As well as takes on jazz standards such as Thelonius Monk's Round Midnight and Nat Adderley's perennial Worksong, then-contemporary covers of the Beatles' "Mother Nature's Son" and the Incredible String Band's "Everything's Fine Right Now" also feature. Tabla player Kesh Sathe contributes his mastery to Afta, one of the original compositions to debut on this album and Holly Gwyn - Davy's then-wife - lends her stunning vocals to "On Green Dolphin Street" and the rousing "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God". Includes detailed liner notes by Davy Graham authority Colin Harper, with the booklet boasting rare photographs from the Godington Boundry session.
Personnel: Davy Graham (vocals, guitar); Holly Gwyn.

Principally recorded at The Maryland Inn, Annapolis, Maryland. Includes liner notes by Kevin Howlett.
As is so often the case, the talents of singer Eva Cassidy did note come to public attention until after her death. Cassidy died at a mere 33 years of age in 1996, and up until then she'd only been known in the local music scene of Washington D.C. Subsequently, a word-of-mouth groundswell earned her posthumous popularity in England, which then wafted back over to the U.S. TIME AFTER TIME is a good introduction to Cassidy's work. More an interpreter than a writer, Cassidy completely inhabits everything from Simon & Garfunkel's folky ballad "Kathy's Song" to Joni Mitchell's ...

$13.25
Vol. 4 in this valuable series has a variety of selections discovered too late to be included in various "complete" reissues of top early blues artists. Actually the first two performances are in a different category altogether. Way back in 1892, American artist Louis Vasnier was recorded relating and singing "Brudder Rasmus," but unfortunately the recording quality of the cylinder is so bad that it is impossible to hear what he is saying/singing. Next up is a much more rewarding ...

Godington Boundry songs
$14.29
Many people may have forgotten what a unique and durable baritone saxophonist Wilson has been over the past three decades, but this CD, one of scant few in his discography, should give all a prompt reminder. He has the innate ability to effectively mix rough and smooth, lyrical or overblown lines at will, his meaty sound all his own with little excess or cops from influences. He moved to Richmond, Virginia, from NYC a decade ago and decided his local working band, dubbed the Jazzmaniacs, comprising pianist Steve Kessler, bassist Jim Masters, and drummer Tony Martucci, was good enough to do this recording, a live club date at Richmond's Bogart's Back Room (restaurant). It proved to be a very good move, and an all-star band will have to wait. Wilson likes to change up arrangements on modern to post-bop evergreens. Nearly hip-hop, but definitely hip, the quartet delightfully funks up Wayne Shorter's "Lester Left Town," a true highlight. Implied swing creeps in, as do the strains of "As Time Goes By" on Kessler's solo. Hank Mobley's "This I Dig of You" starts as a ballad then swings hard, a proud moment for Wilson and the late composer. Also commendable is the excavation of the Charles Mingus' hard bop to ballad, multi-layered "All the Things You Could Be If Sigmund Freud's Wife Was Your Mother," replete with stark stop/start or free-based time changes. Wilson, via composer/guitarist/friend Rory Stuart, adapts Dave Brubeck's "In Your Own Sweet Way" into "Sweet Thing," a hard swinger switching from 4/4 to 6/8 seamlessly, slowed briefly with "A Time for Love" piano solo quotes. Wilson turns modified corn into gold with a modally kinetic, at times squawky take of "It Was a Very Good Year," fades in a swing intro, balladic body, and samba insert for "Winter Wonderland," ...
