VA - CLEM BURKE (A Butterboy Compilation) (4 x CDs)

Clem Burke, born Clement Anthony Bozewski on November 24, 1954, in Bayonne, New Jersey, was an extraordinary drummer whose name became synonymous with energy, versatility, and passion. Renowned for his ability to adapt across genres and collaborate with music legends, Burke’s career serves as a shining testament to dedication and artistry.

At age 18 drummer Clem Burke was a co-founding member of the group Blondie along with Chris Stein and Debbie Harry. Burke remained with the band throughout the first stage of their career and was instrumental in the late '90s reunion. While Blondie remains his most celebrated association, Burke’s genius extended far beyond the boundaries of the new wave and punk rock sound that the band revolutionized. 

Over the years, Burke collaborated with various iconic bands and artists, leaving an indelible mark on their music. Clem Burke significant contributions to the Eurythmics' music. He first worked with the band on their debut album, In the Garden (1981), recorded in Germany with producer Conny Plank. Burke’s drumming added depth to the tracks. He later collaborated with the Eurythmics on their fifth album, Revenge (1986), which included the Grammy-winning single "Missionary Man." His rock-steady beats and dynamic style were integral to the album's success.

In 1983, he joined the supergroup Chequered Past, contributing his unmistakable drumming to their self-titled album. Chequered Past united musicians such as Steve Jones (Sex Pistols), Michael Des Barres, Nigel Harrison, and Tony Fox Sales. Burke’s ability to seamlessly complement their styles showcased his adaptability.

In 1993, Burke recorded with Dramarama for their album Hi-Fi Sci-Fi, demonstrating his knack for propelling alternative rock with rhythmic precision. He also joined The Romantics, where he became their drummer from 1990 to 2004, playing on albums like Made in Detroit (1993) and 61/49 (2003). His spirited performances solidified the band's rock essence while proving his ability to invigorate a sound with his signature drumming.

Burke’s contributions during the 2010s further cemented his status as one of music’s most versatile drummers. He played with The Split Squad and lent his skills to their debut album, Now Hear This... (2014), blending rock and power pop with effortless artistry. That same year, his gothabilly stylings graced The 69 Cats’ album Transylvanian Tapes. Later, his performances on L.A.M.F. Live At The Bowery Electric (2017) paid tribute to Johnny Thunders and the Heartbreakers, showcasing Burke’s unyielding drive to honor punk music’s pioneers.

Beyond his studio work, Clem Burke was a consummate performer, collaborating with legends like Pete Townshend, Bob Dylan, and Iggy Pop. Clem Burke collaborated with Nancy Sinatra on her band K.A.B., contributing his drumming talents to their performances and recordings. While specific tracks or albums from this collaboration are not widely documented, Nancy Sinatra herself expressed deep admiration for Burke's work and friendship, highlighting his impact on her music and their shared creative journey.

His dynamic beats and creative fills elevated every piece of music he touched. Burke was not just a drummer but a storyteller, weaving his unique energy into every rhythm. Clem Burke's career exemplifies artistic integrity and versatility. Whether driving the rebellious spirit of punk, amplifying rock anthems, or innovating new sonic landscapes, Burke's contributions to music will forever resonate as a testament to his brilliance. A maestro behind the drum kit, Burke remains an inspiration to generations of musicians and fans alike.

Clem Burke's legacy as a drummer is unparalleled. His contributions to music continue to inspire generations, cementing his place as one of the greatest drummers in rock history.

Following on from K's excellent Clem Post earlier this week, I am pleased to present a remarkable collection: 93 tracks spread across 4 CDs that showcase the unparalleled talent and enduring legacy of Clem Burke, a true drumming virtuoso. This compilation is a testament to his influential career, highlighting his dynamic range, precision, and unmistakable energy behind the drum kit. Each CD offers a unique journey through the rhythm and beats that define Clem’s exceptional contributions to music. From his iconic work with Blondie to his collaborations with other artists, these tracks are a celebration of his artistry and the indelible mark he has left on the world of rock and beyond. (B)

Duke Ellington - The Reprise Studio Recordings [1999] (5 x CDs)

SUNDAY JAZZ

DUKE ELLINGTON

Duke Ellington - The Reprise Studio Recordings [1999] (5 x CDs)

This magnificent five-CD collection accomplishes two things: It chronicles Duke Ellington's overlooked recordings for Frank Sinatra's Reprise label, which were produced from 1962 to 1965, and it refutes the ridiculous claims made by some critics that Ellington lost his musical creativity in his '60s. Sinatra gave Ellington tremendous creative freedom as the label's A&R man, and the maestro responded with some of the most unique and accessible music of his astonishing 50-year career. To paraphrase a famous saying, this set contains something old, something new, something borrowed, with all things blue. The multifaceted aspects of Ellington genius: his highly individual compositional and arranging style, his percussive and pointillistic piano playing, and his incredible ability to recast world music into the jazz idiom, are well represented on these tracks. With his collaborator Billy Strayhorn sharing those aforementioned duties, the nine studio recordings in this collection range from popular to the experimental. Two of them, "Will the Big Bands Ever Come Back?" and "Recollections of the Big Band Era," feature Ellington performing the music of other bandleaders. Fletcher Henderson's hit "Christopher Columbus" is swung by the dancing solos by trumpeter Ray Nance, tenor saxophonist Paul Gonsalves and bassist Ernie Shepard. On Count Basie's "One O' Clock Jump," Erskine Hawkin's "Tuxedo Junction," and Cab Calloway's jive-jam "Minnie the Moocher," the work of trombonists Buster Cooper and Lawrence Brown and torrid, muted, and open performances from Cat Anderson and Cootie Williams recast those dance hits in an Ellingtonian fashion. George Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue" is redone into a magnificent 4/4 tune, and Johnny Hodges's velvet alto sax smoothes out Quincy Jones's "The Midnight Sun Will Never Set." Stan Kenton's "Artistry in Rhythm" is textured by Sam Woodyard's sexy shuffle beat, while Ray Nance's down-home trumpet recalls the Rampart Street revelry of 's "When It's Sleepy Time Down South." Guy Lombardo's grooving "Auld Lang Syne" and Ellington's own "Don't Get Around Much Anymore" will never go out of style.

"Ellington '65" and "Ellington '66" contain pop songs from that rock-dominated era by Henry Mancini, Barbra Streisand, and film composer Dmitri Tiomkin. Nobody else could lay down such deep groove on tunes like "Danke Schoen" and "Blowin' in the Wind" and make them sound as though they were written that way in the first place. Equally impressive are Cootie William's ebullient trumpet lead on the Sinatra standard "Fly Me to the Moon" and the ensemble's take on "I Left My Heart in San Francisco," which transforms the tune into an intricate big-band statement. The other pop-dominated album is "Duke Ellington Plays with the Original Score from Walt Disney's Mary Poppins." Duke's bluesy, Willie Dixon-inspired riff on "A Spoonful of Sugar," the head-bopping waltz of "Chim Chim Cheree," and Jimmy Hamilton's ornithological clarinet flights on "Feed the Birds" are tempoed testimonials to Ellington's ability to elevate any material to fine art.

Those "pop" albums aside, the most impressive sides of this collection are Ellington's wide-ranging concept albums. "The Symphonic Ellington" is rare project featuring Duke with classical musicians from European orchestras. Two of Ellington's early extended works are performed. "Night Creature," a three-part composition commissioned for the Symphony of the Air in 1955, is sonically signatured by outstanding performances from Ellington, Nance, and Hodges. The 14-minute "Harlem" reveals Ellington's incredible ability to translate human experience into music. While Ellington's "Non-Violent Integration" is less successful than the other performances, the moving, midtempo, "La Scala, She Too Pretty to Be Blue"--written a couple of hours before it was recorded--represents the best marriage of European and African-American classical forms. On "The Jazz Violin Sessions," a Paris combo date featuring violinist Stephane Grappelli, Svend Asmussen, and Ray Nance, Duke naturalizes that instrument into a distinct American voice. Strayhorn's evocative "Day Dream," Ellington's "In a Sentimental Mood," and the finger-popping "Tricky's Licks" are proof of the violins new, down-home citizenship.

Anyone who could manipulate time like Ellington would have no problem recording "Concert in the Virgin Islands" before his arrival there for the performance. Nevertheless, it contains some spirited renditions of the Ellington-Strayhorn songbook. The beautiful ballad "Daydream" showcases Paul Gonsalves's heart-tugging, Ben Webster-derived solo. Mercer Ellington's rocking "Things Ain't What They Used to Be" and the slinky, "Big Fat Alice's Blues" spotlight Johnny Hodges's spry, articulate alto tones. Tunes like "Island Virgin" and "Virgin Jungle" import West Indian rhythms into stateside swing with ease. The sessions that produced the groundbreaking LP Afro-Bossa are the most incredible tracks in the collection. Two piano trios, "Resume #1" and "Resume #2"- commercially released for the time--are brilliant, syncopated summations of the sessions. A gem among these priceless artistic jewels bestowed to us by genius of Duke Ellington. (Amazon)

If you love Ellington this is a no-brainer. It's a splendid collection of the rare and the sublime.

Yves Thibord was a DJ who worked on two French radio stations, Nova and France Inter. 

He brought his large suitcase of records from around the world to each of his appearances. 

During this period, he coined the term "CosmoPop" to avoid the somewhat generic term World Music. 

It was also likely to signal the highly regenerative and ambitious emergence of global pop.

He blew my mind with his music. I have fond memories of it. Thibord passed away in 2020.

The inclusion of remixes by celebrated producers like Andrew Weatherall and Daniel Avery further enriches the collection, making it a treasure trove for fans of the genre. The inclusion of rare and previously unreleased tracks, as well as the creative remixes and live recordings that add depth to the collection
