Count Basie's trumpet alumnus Buck Clayton organized and led a fine "all-star" band that toured Europe during March and April of 1967. They visited ten different countries, performed at 27 concerts in two-dozen cities, and laid down 19 tracks in a Parisian studio on March 12th. This double-disc compilation presents all of that material with the addition of eight jams recorded live at the Tivoli Konzerthalle in Copenhagen on March 17th, at the Liederhalle in Stuttgart on April 3rd, and at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club in London on April 6th. The extraordinary front line included trumpeter Roy Eldridge; trombonist Vic Dickenson; and saxophonists Earle Warren (who also played clarinet wonderfully), Budd Johnson, and Bud Freeman. Pianist and organist Sir Charles Thompson, who had been a primal force in the bop revolution of the mid-'40s, was placed in the unenviable position of alternating with Earl Hines, who is said to have precipitated the dissolution of this touring ensemble by dominating the group with his powerful persona. This friction, along with the presence of Roy Eldridge, certainly helped to spark things up a bit both in the studio and on-stage. The upbeat numbers from the live dates are wild, particularly a screaming 11-minute race through "St. Louis Blues," which is very much dominated by Earl Hines. Crucial support was provided by bassist Bill Pemberton and drummer Oliver Jackson. Since many of the players shared a Basie background, a pleasant and interesting contrast was provided by the sunny tonalities of Bud Freeman, a gentle soul whose handling of the ballad "What Is There to Say" brings to mind a large orange tomcat curled up on a cozy cushion inside of a wicker basket. ~ arwulf arwulf

This "Jazz from a Swinging Era" session can never be repeated. This was a "once in a lifetime" combination, and these are "once in a lifetime" recordings. Buck Clayton called it "The best mainstream session ever recorded". 2 CD remastered set. Lone Hill Jazz. 2006.

Larry Appelbaum, the recording lab supervisor at the Library of Congress, came across this tape by accident while transferring the library's tape archive to digital. What a find. Forget the Five Spot recording that sounds like it was recorded inside of a tunnel from the far end. The sound here is wonderfully present and contemporary. More importantly, ...

2cds-Maytals/Jamaicans/Toots & Maytals/U-Roy/I-Roy/Dillinger Liner Note Author: Harry Hawke.
Arts competitions have always been a part of Jamaica's history, dating back to the late 1800s, but they took on special meaning after 1962, the year that the island nation became independent. A sudden swell in national pride and Jamaican identity swept the country, an electricity that is captured on Baba Boom!, a collection of festival songs from the contest's inception in 1966 until 1974, the latter date probably chosen more out of necessity due to the running time -- both discs are jam-packed with ...

Vendetta Valentine: Thomas Monroe (vocals, guitar); Daniel Powell (guitar, bass guitar, programming); Anna Judd (keyboards).
Catchy guitar/synth rock with prime emphasis on hooks -- will it ever go out of style? (Hopefully not.) Thus Vendetta Valentine, a trio whose debut album provides exactly that, in all its nervous and herky-jerky glory, and if it's an example of how Devo may yet be more of a touchstone than the Beatles -- well, maybe -- then credit to the band for making the blend work for itself. Part of it lies in the band's not so secret love of big radio anthems; a song like "Stars Are Papercuts" has the crisp punch of ...
