| | Jose Conde Evolucion CD - Import Jose Conde Discography of CDs
The general focus on this album might be Cuban, but it's really a pan-Caribbean stew, and a very spicy one at that. So, along with the very rhythmic cha-cha of "El Titiere," you'll find "Ride la Ola," where a Cuban groove rides easily with a reggae touch, and a version of "Summertime" that mixes mambo, jazz, and a heavy jam session. Full marks to Jose Conde for his widescreen vision for the music, and also to the band, Ola Fresca, for the ability to bring that vision to life. The guests are used very wisely, such as salsa trombonist Jimmy Bosch on "Café con Sangre," where his talents can run free, and Zigaboo Modeliste, who brings a strong sense of New Orleans to "Oshiri Pan Pan." But whether it's the brilliant open clarity of Cuban son or the loving compas from Haiti on "Petiti y Titi," there's always plenty going on here, and the groove never stops. At times it turns thrilling, especially on "Probando Nuevos Sabores," which manages to bring together soca, Colombian cumbia, and reggae to create a wonderful fusion, and even a touch of humor with "El Chacal" -- in other words, something for everyone. ~ Chris Nickson

"We begin this issue's quest for the best with William Purvis and the Sevnth Sons,who blend gritty Memphis R+B and tough Chicago blues with considerable ingenuity.The fiery results can be heard on 'Got To Get Up'(self release),one of the sharpest releases we've heard lately,as notable for it's audacious approach as it's inarguable traditionalism.Lovely horn charts kick even straight shuffles like 'Tried My Luck At Love' into the stratosphere.Purvis,solid on harp and an excellent slide guitarist,takes a no nonsense approach to these mostly original tunes;his delivery is particularly soulful on the ballad 'You Don't Have To Let Me Down Easy'.While the Seventh Sons sound reminiscint of Johnny Littlejohn's sessions for Arhoolie,Purvis dedicates the disc to the memory of another underground Chicago great,Buddy Scott. Tom Hylsop Blues Bites Blues Review Magazine August/September2002From the Original Liner Notes: In the interest of full disclosure, let me say that I've known Bill for several years, even sat at the bar and had a few drinks with him, which is how I wound up writing these liner notes(What, he had some drinking buddy write his liner notes?).I've been around the Chicago blues scene for over 35 years and in that time, I've heard few musicians that can equal Bill's excellence at harmonica and slide guitar(make sure that check's made out to the right name Bill).Seriously, Bill has spent time not only listening to and mastering the craft of playing this deceptively simple form of music, but also developing the art of the music.As in many things, developing the craft is much easier than gaining a deeper understanding of the material and extracting the art.Bill is always finding a way to get something more out of the music, something that grabs and holds the listener and does'nt let go.Some call this playing with feeling or soul.Whatever it is,it separates the pretenders from the professorsand Bill has Ph.D talent.Coming from Charlottesville,VA,Bill started his musical career playing in college bands that also began his life-long love for blues and R+B music.One of the high points of this period was a chance to see the ...
