The original version of HEART OF THE CONGOS is available on VP (1287).
HEART OF THE CONGOS is a landmark reggae album whose initial obscurity was due to a dispute between producer Lee Perry and his label, Island Records. Perry's idea to create a roots vocal album took shape when Cedric Myton and Roy Johnson auditioned at his Black Ark Studio. The resulting album had Myton and Johnson wrapping their falsetto and tenor around one another in the sweetly rendered "Children Crying" and "La La Bam-Bam."
Perry's production lent HEART OF THE CONGOS a hazy, dub-like sheen that swathed the Rastafarian imagery ...

The string of albums Culture recorded during the late '70s contained some of the most reliably solid sets from the tail end of reggae's roots era. These early releases for the production team of Joe Gibbs and Errol "E.T." Thompson yielded the group's finest work. Following an unfortunate engagement at Duke Reid's famous Treasure Isle studios (the results of which can be found on the unauthorized Africa Stand Alone), the vocal ...

This is a fascinating, revelatory, deeply moving, and completely captivating collection of Bud Powell material that hasn't readily seen the light of day before, despite the fact that almost all of it has been commercially released at one time or another. The material over these four discs ranges from pre-bebop years, with Cootie Williams from 1944 and Frank Socolow's quintet from 1945, to a broadcast with the Charlie Parker Quintet (featuring Fats Navarro, Art Blakey, and Curley Russell) in 1950 and the band Powell shared shortly with Sonny Stitt during the same year. Proper did an impeccable job of organization -- if not remastering, but the result is adequate if not stellar -- by placing the music in tightly organized compartments not only chronologically, but also thematically. For instance, in the pre-bop era song portrayed on disc one, entitled "Blue Garden Blues," Powell's style with his large chords and limited arpeggios is showcased against the swinging bands he was playing with. But if one listens closely enough, such as on "Gotta Do Some War Work," it's easy to hear the influence of Fats Waller and Art Taum on Powell's construction of solos and fills, as well as his architectural work in building harmonic bridges between all the other instruments in the band. His trademark trills are already carved in stone, however, and they slip out whenever they are allowed to. On disc two "Bud's Bubble," when Powell played with J.J. Johnson and the Bebop Boys beginning in 1946, when bop was first making its own noise on 52nd Street, the artist offers more than a support for either Johnson or Stitt in the latter band, and he fires up the rhythm section with an absolutely frightening intensity -- take a listen to either "Coppin' the Bop," with Johnson, or "Fat Boy," with Navarro and Kenny Dorham having to tear each other up in order to keep up with Powell, Al Hall, and Kenny Clarke. But it's not until the first trio sides emerge in early 1947, with Max Roach and Curley Russell, that Powell's harmonic genius gets heard in full. His inside-out version of "I'll Remember April" is a case in point, but the completely striated tonalities and legato right-handed runs in "Off Minor" is nothing less than astonishing. Most of disc three, I'll Keep Loving You, is taken up by trio material with Russell being replaced by Ray Brown. On the Roost and Clef material, Powell is advancing a new kind of bop solo, one that considers the elementary rhythms and then takes them apart at the same time the harmonics are being reinvented. It works well in his own session, but leads to some tension in the session with the Charlie Parker All-Stars on Savoy from May of 1947 with Miles Davis, Tommy Potter, and Roach. Roach was all about Powell's ...
