| | 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.
CD comes in Jpn LP Sleeve.

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.
Those familiar with the Live Adventures album these two recorded at the Fillmore West know how brilliant they could be on stage, and here's another gem, recorded at the Fillmore East this time and featuring 'One Way Out,' 'It's My Own Fault' (with Bloomfield trading licks with Johnny Winter...Johnny was signed to Columbia after this gig!). Newly remastered & now with 4 bonus tracks, 'Albert's Shuffle' (2002 Remix w/o Horns), 'Season of the Witch.' (2002 Remix w/o Horns), 'Blues For ...
| | Sean Costello Sean's Blues CD (2009)
Face To Face
$13.49
Sean Costello is a brand name to blues aficionados. He died tragically in 2008, on the eve of his 29th birthday, just when it began to look as though his star was finally breaking into the masses. Costello's knowledge of blues and jazz--especially jump and swing jazz--was encyclopedic. This compilation collects tracks from all of three of his albums recorded between 1996 and 2002, but the majority of this 20-track set is unreleased, with smoking live cuts recorded in Chicago and Marquette, Michigan. There is some unreleased studio gems recorded in his hometown of Atlanta as well. Costello's best-known band featured harmonica man Paul Linden (who also doubled on piano), organist and pianist Matt Wauchope, bassist Melvin Zachary, and drummer Terrence Prather. These players appear on the majority of these cuts, though there are some guest spots, including a few tracks with Matt Sickles playing upright bass and guitarist and vocalist Susan Tedeschi. Pulling out specific cuts here is pointless because, as a collection, it's outstanding from top to bottom. Compiled (mostly) chronologically by Michael ...
| | Taj Mahal Giant Step/De Old Folks At Home CD (1969)
Face To Face
$7.45 
Taj Mahal is one of the significant figures in post-1950s blues, but his sense of playful experimentation always pushes at the boundaries of the genre. GIANT STEP is one of his classics, featuring the singer/guitarist's inimitable gravelly vocals on a range of tunes that mix rural and electric blues, country, and rock. Whether on the trucker anthem "Six Days on the Road," the rollicking "Good Morning Little School Girl," or gems from the blues canon, including covers of Blind Willie Johnson's "You're Gonna Need Somebody on Your Bond" and Leadbelly's "Keep Your Hands Off Her," Taj Mahal is in great form here. In addition, his fine electric backing band lends sass and muscle.
This package also includes the completely ...

Face To Face
$11.99
WANDER THIS WORLD is an Enhanced CD, which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
WANDER THIS WORLD was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album.
When a wave of blues-playing wunderkids (Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Monster Mike Welch) arrived on the scene in the '90s, 16-year-old Jonny Lang was out alongside them with his debut LIE TO ME. On his follow-up, WANDER THIS WORLD, Lang once again teams up with ex-Prince mate David Z for yet another excellent collection of R&B-tinged blues.
Not yet old enough to drink, Lang has a voice that rings with the tone of an old soul, particularly on the late Luther Allison's "Cherry Red Wine," the album's only cover. Although this teen shreds impressively on songs such as the scorching "Still Rainin'," he shows an affinity for Memphis soul on "Second Guessing" and "Walking Away" and clavinet-driven funk on both "Before You Hit The Ground" and "I Am." When he's not channeling Otis Redding's spirit or rooting around in Prince's musical neighborhood, Lang's impressive range allows him to update the blues without making it sound readymade for a beer commercial. This results in an ominous title track whose main character's restless spirit is juxtaposed with the salvation flowing from "Leaving To Stay," a song ...
