| | Baby Face Willette Face To Face CD - Import Baby Face Willette Discography of CDs
FACE TO FACE contains two previously unreleased alternate takes.
This is part of Blue Note's Limited Edition Connoisseur series.
This album by the jazz organ player Baby Face Willette includes "Whatever Lola Wants" and "Face to Face."
The remastered Japanese special-edition release features a vinyl-inspired design.
Organist Roosevelt "Baby Face" Willette is both a shadowy figure and something of a legend in the 1960s jazz scene. While he played with Blue Note heavyweights Grant Green and Lou Donaldson, he had drifted into obscurity by the '70s. But while on the scene, Willette made some fine music in the soul-jazz vein, and FACE TO FACE (1961) was his debut. Willette's Jimmy Smith-inspired organ pilots a combo of Fred Jackson's tenor and the aforementioned Green's ace guitar through some earnest, tasty, blues-tinged grooves. While it's no masterpiece, fans of soul-jazz should snap up FACE TO FACE while they can.
24 bit digitally remastered Japanese limited edition in an LP-style slipcase.
All tracks have been digitally remastered.

Face To Face
 $6.75   
A surprise best-seller when it was first released, this mostly improvised pairing of singer/keyboardist/producer Al Kooper with two major guitar heroes of the day sounds fascinating all these years later precisely because of the distance of time--nobody makes records like this any more. The material runs the gamut from folk pop (covers of Donovan and Dylan), to blues ("Albert's Shuffle," "You Don't Love Me"), to heady jams ("His Holy Modal Majesty"), to big-band jazz ("Harvey's Tune").
All the tunes make effective templates for the kind off-the-cuff music-making that in less capable hands might have resulted in simple noodling. In fact, although Bloomfield and Stills don't play together on any of the cuts (Bloomfield played on one side of the original LP, Stills on the other), all three principals get off lots of good licks and producer Kooper has some interesting tricks up his sleeve, as in the over-the-top phasing he lavishes on "You Don't Love Me." The only real disappointment here is that Stills, a far better singer than Kooper, never opens his mouth.

The giant left-handed guitarist was no stranger to the recording studio by 1966, but Albert King had still to make his mark with the record-buying public. When he linked up with the cream of Stax's Memphis musicians, including Booker T. And The MGs and the Memphis Horns, that connection was made. "Laundromat Blues", "Oh, Pretty Woman" and "Crosscut Saw" set the scene for "Born ...

$14.65
This superbly recorded double disc (the original engineer was Eddie Kramer, best-known for his work with Hendrix) captured over a weekend worth of dates in February 1970 at the venerable New York City venue catches the Brit boogie quartet at the peak of their powers. These shows were sandwiched between their triumphant Woodstock set and the release of Cricklewood Green, generally considered the band's best work. They find the group primed through years of roadwork, as well as obviously excited to be playing in front of an appreciative N.Y.C. crowd. Kicking off with one of Bill Graham's patented individual-member intros, the group winds their way through the ominous riff of "Love Like a Man." Mixing extended and rocking versions of blues standards -- like Sonny Boy Williamson classics "Help Me" and "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl," as well as Willie Dixon's "Spoonful" -- with two Chuck Berry covers and some nuggets from their own catalog, Ten Years After burns through this show with enormous energy and infectious enthusiasm. Alvin Lee and his flying fingers stay firmly in ...

Face To Face
$10.69
Deke Dickerson & The Ecco-Fonics: Deke Dickerson (vocals, guitar, baritone saxophone); "Smilin" Jonny Noble (acoustic & electric guitar, background vocals); Brent Harding (acoustic bass, background vocals); Joey Myers (drums).
Recorded in La Mesa, California. Includes liner notes by Deke Dickerson.
In this modern age filled with retro music, a new album from Deke Dickerson is a welcome spin in the CD player, indeed. Dickerson is nothing short of the reincarnation of Joe Maphis, right down to the double-necked Mosrite guitar and buck-toothed grin. Few modern guitar-slingers of the Stevie Ray Vaughan-abee variety would attempt the intricate minor-key picking of Maphis' "Rockin' Gypsy." But there's also a musical agenda and versatility at Dickerson's command that allows his music to embrace honky tonk country, Merle Travis, Link Wray, surf, rockabilly, Western swing, early-'60s pop, and doo-wop -- all of it tweaked with an enthusiasm and sense of warped humor that's positively contagious. Only Dickerson would have Billy Barty introduce his album and have Jerry Scoggins, the guy who sang the theme from the Beverly Hillbillies TV show, close it out. Once the novelty wears off, you realize that he's pulled it off, that somehow Dickerson makes it all work -- the nuttiness bookended in between rockers, torchy twangers, honky-tonk stompers, and guitar workouts of all stripes. Even Nervous Norvus' "The Fang" gets a new groove and paint job as Dickerson reinterprets it for the modern age as "My Name Is Deke." In addition to Dickerson's top-notch guitar work and infectious singing (the guy sounds like he has a perpetual smile on his lips), kudos go to the guest piano work Carl Sonny Leyland, quite possibly the best boogie-woogie flame-thrower out there. His jackhammer style enlivens many a track on this disc and he duets with the star on "I Think You Gotta Pay for That." Another audio bonus is the mix on this disc; the excitement leaps out of the speakers and pulls ...
