The best Lu Watters compilation in the world is a four-CD box set of his Complete Good Time Jazz Recordings. Nothing will ever beat that, and nobody is trying. What the Living Era label presents here are 25 examples of traditional jazz recordings made by this delightful Dixieland revival band in California from December 1941 through February 1950. The instrumental composition of Lu Watters' Yerba Buena Jazz Band was patterned after that of King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band of 1923: two cornets, trombone, and clarinet backed by piano, banjo, and drums; the Yerba Buena added a tuba for extra ballast. The repertoire consisted of hardcore traditional jazz melodies by W.C. Handy, Jelly Roll Morton, King Oliver, Richard M. Jones, Louis Armstrong, and Kid Ory interspersed with original compositions by Watters. Certain participants in these heartwarming recording sessions went on to form their own highly acclaimed traditional jazz ensembles: trumpeter Bob Scobey and trombonist Turk Murphy are familiar names among those who are susceptible to this kind of music. Since an entire generation of postwar beer-drinking Dixieland fans held singing banjoist Clancy Hayes in such high esteem, two examples of his robust vocalizing are included as an accurate representation of what this band sounded like at Hambone Kelly's in El Cerrito, CA, in February of 1950. In a world filled with bitterness and gloomy cynicism, this sort of good-time music is becoming more valuable by the minute. ~ arwulf arwulf

Californian trumpeter Lu Watters (1911-1990) blew the lustiest and earliest notes of the '40s white "Trad Jazz" revival. This CD presents the 25 best from the Yerba Buena's great series of '40s recordings. Many are jazz standards that are still the bread

Orchestral and choral arrangements of rock songs have been a curious subgenre ever since the mid-'60s when Andrew Loog Oldham arranged The Rolling Stones Songbook for syrupy strings, but The Kinks Choral Collection stands apart from the pack for the simple reason that it's not the project of some associate or admirer, but rather chief Kink Ray ...

Herb Alpert was still using an array of SoCal studio all-stars as his Tijuana Brass when South of the Border (1964) began to restore the combo's good name after the modest Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass, Vol. 2 (1963) failed to ignite a fire in listener's ears. In his essay accompanying Shout! Factory's 2005 Signature Series reissue of South of the Border, Alpert comments that the Sol Lake composition "Mexican ...

Amy Rigby 18 Again: An Anthology CD  (2002)

Good Time Music: San Francisco Style music CDs
CD $10.49  Audio Samples
Exactly why an artist who has only made three albums (all of which are in print) and is still active in music should merit a career-spanning compilation is a question for great minds, but since a remarkably large amount of the world still hasn't gotten hip to the smarts, wit, and overall wonderfulness of Amy Rigby's music, 18 Again: An Anthology at least offers the benighted a splendid opportunity to discover what they've been missing in one convenient package. Drawing a roughly equal number of tracks from Rigby's three albums for Koch (Diary of a Mod Housewife, Middlescence, and The Sugar Tree) and tossing in an unreleased demo and one new song for completists, 18 Again: An Anthology is an admirably accurate portrait of the many moods of Amy Rigby -- justifiably angry ("20 Questions"), bitterly witty ("Cynically Yours"), coyly lustful ("Wait Til I Get You Home"), frustrated romantic ("Knapsack"), involved and not liking it ("We're Stronger Than That"), and single and not always thrilled about that either ("All I Want"). Rigby isn't the first woman to devote a large part of her songwriting repertoire to the travails of a single woman edging into middle age and coming to terms with the ups and downs of relationships, but while she knows how to play these situations for laughs, even Rigby's funniest songs never shrink from the passions, fears, and frustrations that are simple facts of life. In short, Rigby always comes across as a real person with a real life, which makes the superb craft of her work all the more powerful. If anyone painted a truer picture of the life of an over-40 single mom in America, its uncertain how many ...
