Live With The Big Bands
$7.55

Photographers: David Rubinson; Yoram Kahana; Don Peterson; Rod Dyer.
Arranger: Taj Mahal.
In less than 24 months, Taj Mahal (guitars/vocals/banjo/harmonica) had issued the equivalent of four respective long-players. The electric Giant Step (1968) was released alongside the acoustic and decidedly rural De Ole Folks at Home (1968). The nine cuts on Giant Step feature support from the instrumental trio of Jesse Ed Davis (guitar/keyboards), Gary Gilmore (bass), and Chuck Blackwell (drums). They back Taj Mahal on a wide selection of covers ranging from Carole King and Gerry Goffin's "Take a Giant Step" to the upbeat and soulful reading of the Huddie Ledbetter blues staple "Keep Your Hands Off Her." The arrangements are ...

Liner Note Author: Chico Hamilton.
Arranger: Hale Smith.
A fine showcase for Chico Hamilton as a triple-threat artist: drummer extraordinaire ("Miss Movement," "Trinkets," etc.), vocalist ("She's Funny That Way," "The Best Things in Life Are Free," "Where or When"), and, of course, leader. His vocals are reminiscent of Nat King Cole, with subtleties all his own, and his drumming is just as impressive amid its own set of superlatives, many of which are shown off on the Hamilton originals "Happy Little Dance" and "Trinkets." The other members of the group, Wyatt Ruther ...
| | Skidmore Fountain Break CD (2007)
Live With The Big Bands
$10.65
Chalk it up to his sister’s taste in boyfriends. Showing interest in her beater guitar, ten-year-old Randy Bergida was instructed by the paramour to sit in his room and strum until he made a sensible rhythm. “I learned the guitar by writing,” the Skidmore Fountain frontman reveals. “I figured if I could write songs that were harder than I could play, I would get good.”Skidmore Fountain is an indie rock band that feels simultaneously classic and unconventional, comfortable and disquieting. Five-string electric cello (its fifth string acts as bass), guitar, drums, and vocals make up the Brooklyn-based band. Multi-Grammy award-winning producer Ken Lewis (John Legend, David Byrne, Beastie Boys) produced the band’s 11-track sophomore release, Break (Triple R Records), a complex, textural and certainly modern sound. “A lot of innovative and enjoyable music here,” Music Morsels wrote of the disc. “Brooklyn’s Skidmore Fountain sprays out poppy streams of alt-rock with surprising dexterity,” proclaimed CMJ New Music Report. “The gobs of catchy choruses seem destined for crowd shout-alongs.”It was in Brooklyn that the original three multicultural multi-instrumentalists—Randy, guitarist Steven Cohen and cellist Topu Lyo—joined with veteran R&B/ska drummer Dylan Wissing (Johnny Socko, Novel). Together, the solid quartet quickly gelled into an advanced, exciting group with unique indie rock orchestration. Avant-garde electronica elements sit atop old-school soul and rock-steady grooves, giving the music a kind of dubby Björk/Massive Attack/Arcade Fire vibe.Working musicians all, Dylan feels that the group has already “made it,” to some extent. “To be able to do this and sustain makes me happy,” he says. Adds Steven, “The biggest challenge is having four extremely passionate and sensitive musicians fully love every song.” Still, there are landmarks on the horizon, ones Skidmore Fountain is confident they’ll achieve.“I feel ...
