Gary Chandler's rare Outlook LP on Eastbound with Idris Muhammad, Ceasar Frazier, Cornell Dupreee, Buddy Caldwell, and Harrold Ousley. One of the stronger Eastbound releases with "Blue Dues" and the much sampled 10:05 minute "Baby Let Me Take You". Cover has writing noting that Gary is pictured at the NY Cloisters, which is across the Hudson from Rudy Van Gelder's studio where this was recorded.

The Witch Doctor was recorded March 14, 1961. Blue Note has included an alternate take of "The Witch Doctor" with a slightly brighter tempo. While Shorter’s solo is more intense, Morgan’s isn’t as inspired as the original take. In all, however, the two takes of "The Witch Doctor" make excellent bookends for this reissue. Both "The Witch Doctor" and "Afrique" are Lee Morgan’s compositions. Art Blakey encouraged all of his Jazz Messengers to write, and the years (Blakey passed away in 1990) brought quite a few significant jazz composers into direct contact with his tutelage. Two tracks on this album are from Shorter and one is by Timmons. "A Little Busy" swings like his more-famous "Moanin’," "This Here" and "Dat Dere." On this one Blakey is a little busy with consistent press rolls and such while the pianist swings heartily. Blakey takes an extended drum solo on "Afrique" that demonstrates his power and melodic sense. Fours between leader and band take place several times on different tracks, and a drum "storm" arrives for "Those Who Sit and Wait." The session swings from start to finish with moderate tempos, a walking bass, and a drummer-led snare drum pattern that combines Blakey’s constant ride cymbal behind his more powerful drum attack.

This was album number two from The Allman Brothers Band, widely regarded as one of the most important Southern Rock outfits in musical history.

It represents the essence of the Allman sound and definitely the place to start. Accessible without ever compromising their core values.

Here's where you'll find the classic Midnight Rider, a moody mid paced late night broozer of a tune, In Memory of Elizabeth Reed, a showcase for Duane Allman's perfect blues guitar feel and Please Come Home, which highlights just what a great vocalist Gregg Allman was in the early 70's.

Great mid 70s session from Kenny Burrell with that typical Fantasy fusion sound featuring the old club fave "Up The Street etc" by Onaje Alan Gumbs,a couple of Burrell originals, "Afro Blue" and a closing 9 minute workout of Richard Evans' "Soulero".
Nice!

Hey! Let's Party
Mongo Santamaria
Columbia CL 2473
1966

From Billboard Magazine, June 4, 1966: This is exciting material. The rhythm section, particularly the piano, lays down a precise and exciting beat and sets a great mood for dancing and listening. Full fills the title as a good one for parties.

A 23-song collection combining two albums that Tom Rush recorded in 1963 (Got a Mind to Ramble and Blues, Songs and Ballads) onto a single CD. Rush plays acoustic guitar, accompanied only by Fritz Richmond on washtub bass, for a selection of almost exclusively traditional material; the only track penned by Rush himself is the opener, "Duncan and Brady." This anthology is definitive early-'60s Cambridge coffeehouse music, which means that it's a bit quaintly dated, and also that it's Sunday-morning listening in the good sense of the term. Rush plays accomplished acoustic guitar and sings with calm authority, though he's no one's ideal bluesman (or even ideal white bluesman). The traditional blues covers, which dominated the original Blues, Songs and Ballads LP (now the second part of this CD), can sound pretty callow; the folkier ones work better, one highlight being the instrumental "Mole's Moan," penned by a young Maria Muldaur.

Eddie Kendricks - People... Hold On
Tamla, 1972
A beautiful masterpiece of soul, and one in which Eddie defined and predicted styles that would shape the music significantly in the 70's. Includes the massive 7 minute original version of "Girl, You Need A Change Of Mind", plus the excellent "Date With The Rain", "I'm On The Sideline", and "People Hold On". A great LP, and one that's darn tough to find in good shape!

Blue Mitchell - Funktion Junction (1976)

Blue Mitchell made his name as a member of Horace Silver's quintet, where his lyrical playing and beautiful timbre perfectly complemented Silver's simplified, soulful brand of bop. When Silver disbanded his group the members stayed together under Mitchell's leadership; Silver and Brooks were replaced by Chick Corea and Al Foster, whose places were later taken by Harold Mabern and Billy Higgins.
A very good and very funky record by Blue Mitchell.

UK Folk(1976)

The search party - montgomery chapel(1969)

 

A rare religious rock album by a from Wisconsin band who relocated to Sacramento, California. Many of the tracks feature lovely female vocals, although part of Side Two is more acoustic and folky with male vocals.
At its best the album is superb. A mystical atmosphere is created by the floating, melodic psychedelia of songs like When He Calls, So Many Things Have Got Me Down and The News Is You. Just listen and drift away.

(1971)
"In God We Trust" is Don Nix' first solo album. Before this he was already a bit of a legend in his own spare time. He played sax in The Mar-Keys, a famous studio band for the Stax label. He played with The Alabama State Troopers and has been involved with many interesting artists as a producer. And then he made a few albums on his own. Which is something he still does occasionally.

Buffy Sainte-Marie - Illumnations(1969)

Buffy Sainte-Marie was an Indian before it became fashionable to be one and sang about Native issues when nobody else did. She also wrote and performed songs about the state of the world, and people's sweetest emotions. This record serves to remind us all of her unique voice and unwavering strength of character.

A California pop rock group, this time with five guys and a really energetic girl lead singer. When it comes to style think Mamas and the Papas, though Yankee Dollar is nowhere near that legendary group when it comes to sparkling harmonies, superb arrangements, and terrific songs.

Ernie Graham was a member of Eire Apparent, whose claim to fame was their Sunrise album, produced by Jimi Hendrix. His brilliant 1971 solo record often gets the ‘pub rock’ tag, but sounds closer to genuine Americana, like The Band record that never was. It doesn’t feel like most pub rock
it may just be because Graham hailed from England that we call it pub rock. Labels aside, this is a pretty much perfect record.

Carole King brought the fledgling singer/songwriter phenomenon to the masses with Tapestry, one of the most successful albums in pop music history. A remarkably expressive and intimate record, it's a work of consummate craftsmanship. Always a superior pop composer, King reaches even greater heights as a performer; new songs like the hits "It's Too Late" and "I Feel the Earth Move" rank solidly with past glories, while songs like "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow," and "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman" take on added resonance when delivered in her own warm, compelling voice. With its reliance on pianos and gentle drumming, Tapestry is a light and airy work on its surface, occasionally skirting the boundaries of jazz, but it's also an intensely emotional record, the songs confessional and direct; in its time it connected with listeners like few records before it, and it remains an illuminating experience decades later.

Ruby Andrews-Black Ruby (1972)
Hard to find album of Ruby andrews on zodiac. And as she wrote on the cover "All rubies are not red". Recorded at universal Studios, Menphis.
 Ruby Andrews' two albums on Zodiac in the late '60s are easily some of the best, strong-armed soul recorded by any woman in the era.

The music contained in this album is the happy result of a meeting of Brazilian bossa nova stars and American jazz musicians. Sergio Mendes, the young man who graces the cover of this LP is one of the brightest talents to emerge from Brazilian music circles. He possesses a crisp piano style that clearly dominates all of the performances in this album. The clarity of Sergio's musical thought is always apparent whether he is soloing, playing ensemble or accompanying someone else's solo. In addition he inspires some of the finest work on records by the well known jazz performers, Art Farmer, Phil Woods and Hubert Laws." Sergio moved from Brazil to New York to work as pianist with Antonio Carlos Jobim and Art Farmer (amongst others).

The Animals' second British album, recorded just before Alan Price exited the lineup, displays far more energy and confidence than its predecessor, and it's fascinating to speculate where they might've gone had the original lineup held together. There are a few lightweight tunes here, such as "Let the Good Times Roll" and the rollicking opener, "Mess Around," that capture the Animals loosening up and having fun, but much of Animal Tracks is pretty intense R&B-based rock. "How You've Changed" is a reflective, downbeat Chuck Berry number that Eric Burdon turns into a dark romantic confessional/inquisition, matched by Hilton Valentine's chopped out, crunchy lead work over the break, while Alan Price does his best to impersonate Johnnie Johnson.

The folk singer-songwriter Judy Collins was born in Seattle, Washington in 1939. She studied classical music as a youth but influenced by the music of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger. During the traditional folk revival in the early sixties, she learned the guitar, moving to New York where she eventually got a record contract.

She released her first album in A Maid of Constant Sorrow in 1961.

Givin' It Back is as much a time capsule as an album. Not that it can't be enjoyed on its own absolute musical terms by someone just off a boat who wasn't even around in 1971, but to really appreciate how daring it was and how delightful it is, that side of its history should be known.

The Spencer Davis Group were one of the UK's most convincing R&B bands to emerge during this period. They were best known for introducing a prodigious teenager, Steve Winwood, to the world. It was apparent from their first record that Winwood, with his ferocious soul drenched voice, belying his tender sixteen years, would be the focal point of the group.

In 1967, a group of English lads formerly known as The Shots turned out one of the defining moments between the beat sounds warped by mid-Sixties mod bands, and the all important sounds of British psychedelia. Blistering guitar lines, and one single line of the lyric, which opened their most famous song:"My friend Jack eats sugar lumps"

This is more of a hippie west coast vibe. Lots of harmonies, some sitar sprinkled through, and folk-psych rock moments as well. Definitely worth checking out.
