British pianist Gordon Beck has had a wide-ranging career, playing with everyone from Tubby Hayes to Allan Holdsworth, the Phil Woods European Rhythm Machine to Helen Merrill. On Seven Steps to Heaven, he teams up with three excellent if obscure French jazz musicians, stretching out on Billy Childs' "Backwards Bop" and six jazz standards. Four of the seven performances exceed nine minutes, yet there are no slow or aimless moments. Beck is the main soloist, with altoist Pierrick Pedron (slightly reminiscent of Jackie McLean) making the trio a quartet on four of the seven selections in exciting fashion. Seven Steps to Heaven is a recommended slice of modern mainstream jazz. ~ Scott Yanow
The music on this CD was recorded live at the Franc Pinot Jazz Club in Paris, France on Feb. 25th and 26th, 2005. This 62 minute live recording captures British Jazz piano legend Gordon Beck at the peak of his musical powers in a quartet setting featurin

Seven Steps To Heaven album
 $9.65 
In late 1999, the Dutch label KonKurrent invited Minneapolis band Low into an in-house studio to record one of the label's near-legendary In the Fishtank sessions; bands have two days to record between 20-30 minutes of all new material of their choosing. Also touring at the time were Low's pals, the Australian instrumental dynamos the Dirty Three. Low invited them in, and in the same collaborative spirit as another In the Fishtank session involving Tortoise and the Ex, this half-hour session is the document. What is truly amazing about this hookup is how natural these two bands sound playing with one another. Low has been striking out lately, playing different kinds of material while keeping its signature slower-than-slow ...

| | Harold Mabern Few Miles From Memphis CD (1968)
Seven Steps To Heaven music CDs
$15.39
On A Few Miles from Memphis, recorded by pianist Harold Mabern in 1968, he's joined by tenors George Coleman and Buddy Terry, bassist Bill Lee, and drummer Walter Perkins for a bluesy, rhythm-filled set featuring familiar fare like "A Treat for Bea" and fun originals like "Walkin' Back." There's also the odd inclusion of "There's a Kind of Hush," a pop song that comes out sounding like an old standard here. ~ Ronnie D. Lankford Jr.
When record labels like Prestige release two albums on one CD, it's a great bargain for music fans. A Few Miles from Memphis combines the album of the same name and Rakin' and Scrapin', both recorded by pianist Harold Mabern in 1968. On the first set he's joined by tenors George Coleman and Buddy Terry, bassist Bill Lee, and drummer Walter Perkins for a bluesy, ...
| | Solomon Burke That's Heavy Baby 1971-1973 CD (2005)
Seven Steps To Heaven songs
$17.75
Raven presents the very best of Solomon Burke's recordings for MGM in the 1970s, many on CD for the first time. A pioneering soul singer, Burke's powerful voice and fervent emotionality were much-admired through the 1960s. At MGM, with arranger Gene Page, Solomon deftly crafted a commercial and contemporary sound - both urban pop ballads and rhythmic hymns to black empowerment, all framed around his impassioned voice. Using fractured, multi-layered background vocals (a la Marvin Gaye), and deep vocals not unlike Barry White, Burke ...
| | Ike & Tina Turner Nutbush City Limits/Feel Good CD (2006) Bonus Tracks
Seven Steps To Heaven album
$18.25
Raven's 2006 two-fer Nutbush City Limits/Feel Good combines two of Ike & Tina Turner's last albums together and adds five bonus tracks, three of which were taken from other Ike & Tina albums from the early '70s, one taken from a Tina solo record, and one disco mix of "Nutbush City Limits." The album that arrives first on this two-fer was actually the last of these two to be released: Nutbush City Limits appeared in 1973, a year after Feel Good, but its title track is one of Ike & Tina's best-known songs so it's an appropriate choice to kick off this disc. Besides, the two records are so similar in tone and approach, it'd be easy to assume that Feel Good arrived before Nutbush, but that isn't to say they're interchangeable. Both records are hard day-glo funk, overloaded with fuzz guitars, wah wahs, clavinets and horn sections, but of the two, Nutbush City Limits ...

The APPALACHIA: HERITAGE & HARMONY program was produced in collaboration with the Birthplace of Country Music Alliance and the Center for Appalachian Studies at East Tennessee State University."We're more alike than different!"What do country music and Ras Alan's Appalachian reggae have in common? Both were featured on Country Music Television's October, 2005 Small Town Secrets, when it showed "Guitars," a piece about Bristol, TN/VA's musical past and present, including roots like the Carter Family's original country music, and branches like Ras Alan's ...
