| | Lionel Hampton Mostly Blues CD Lionel Hampton Discography of CDs
The late Lionel Hampton was the premier vibes player and one of the most popular orchestra leaders of the late Swing Era. MOSTLY BLUES is from late in Hamp's career--he was in his 80s, but one would never know it from this session. Backed by an ace small group (including legends Bobby Scott and Grady Tate), Hampton's vibes still sparkle, though it also sounds as if he'd been absorbing Milt Jackson's blues-inflected style. MOSTLY BLUES is a solid set of bluesy, old-school funky (think Horace Silver) jazz.

Mostly Blues album
$7.59
Jefferson Airplane were less focused in 1969 than they had been in the Summer of Love two years before. Recorded at the Fillmore East, these performances find the Airplane coming off their most recent album, Volunteers, released a month earlier, with the band a lot looser (drug use aside) and fractured. The factions in the group were presenting themselves during performances, and this set is no exception. Guitarist Jorma Kaukonen and bassist Jack Cassidy connected and jammed like they would have been just as content without the vocals ...

As Joey DeFrancesco has switched from the standard Hammond B-3 to the Diversi clone organ, you'd hardly notice how the subtle differences in each instrument affect his playing style. However, this recording reflects a rich, warm feeling manifested not only in his approach, but via the music he is playing--a celebration of songs written by Horace Silver. Tom Harrell (former bandmate of ...

Mostly Blues songs
$18.59
Raging Slab's first major-label album is pretty interesting in retrospect, in that it's both of its time and very clearly a harbinger of the future -- which of course is all the more bemusing in that the band was so clearly inspired by the past more than anything else. The quintet's obsession with '70s rock trudge and stomp -- perfectly evident with song titles like "Shiny Mama," "Get off My Jollies," and "San Loco" -- pretty soon would get full validation in the grunge explosion and even the nü-metal fallout later. The clipped blasts of feedback on the verses of lead single "Don't Dog Me" aren't that far removed from what Ross Robinson would oversee in later years, while some of the massed harmonies at points -- "Geronimo" is a great example -- easily foreshadow Alice in Chains' take on it. But Daniel Rey's production here is different from the arid punch of the end of the millennium, and his ghost-of-Rick Rubin take on things feels both sprawling and a bit straitjacketed, like it just wanted to go completely nuts but still felt like the way to go was classic rock radio instead of alternative stations. All this aside, though, it's a fun album nonetheless, no particular revelation but a loud enough grind and shake that's actually a bit easygoing ...
