SUNDAY JAZZ 

BUDDY DE FRANCO

Buddy De Franco - The Complete Verve Recordings Of The Buddy De Franco QuartetQuintet With Sonny Clark [1990] (4 x CDs)

Boniface Ferdinand Leonard "Buddy" DeFranco (February 17, 1923 - December 24, 2014) was an American jazz clarinetist. In addition to his work as a bandleader, DeFranco led the Glenn Miller Orchestra for almost a decade in the 1960s and 1970s.

Clarinetist Buddy DeFranco recorded extensively for Norgran and Verve during 1953-1958. For a little over a year, Sonny Clark was his regular pianist, and all of their small-group recordings have been reissued on this limited-edition five-LP set. With bassist Eugene Wright (a couple years before he joined the Dave Brubeck Quartet) and drummer Bobby White completing the quartet, and guitarist Tal Farlow making the group a quintet on its final 11 numbers, DeFranco had one of his strongest bands. The majority of the 39 selections on the typically attractive Mosaic box are standards or based on a familiar tune's chord changes. Buddy DeFranco had no real competitors (other than Benny Goodman) during the era, while Sonny Clark was one of the most talented of the Bud Powell-influenced pianists; they made for a mutually inspiring team (AllMusic review by Scott Yanow)

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. 

These two compilations pay tribute to him.

VA - The Many Faces of Bob Marley and The Wailers [2015] (3 x CDs)

THE MANY FACES OF...

VA - The Many Faces Of Bob Marley and The Wailers [2015] (3 x CDs)

Without a doubt, Bob Marley was for many decades, and still is, the most global figure in the world of reggae, embodying not only music, but also the entire culture of reggae. Of course, he was not the first representative of this genre to achieve international success, but he was the most charismatic artist who created the most thorough, extensive and influential catalog of reggae style. In The Many Faces Of Bob Marley, we will trace his influences, roots, his lesser-known works, the parallel projects of his band (The Wailers), some remixes and rarities, and plunge into his huge legacy, which is represented by only a small part. Many Faces of Bob Marley is an essential album for your collection. (Amazon)

VA - Never Lose That Feeling Volume One to Three [2005 - 2009] (3 x CDs)

SHOEGAZE

VA - Never Lose That Feeling Volume One to Three [2005 - 2009] (3 x CDs)

In the late 80s and early 90s, a distinct musical style emerged, characterized by layers of overlapping guitar melodies and soft, introspective vocals. Musicians performing this style often stayed still on stage, deeply focused on their instruments, earning the genre the nickname “Shoegaze.” A community naturally formed, often referred to as “the scene that celebrates itself,” where these bands supported one another and shaped a unique musical movement.

To honor the legacy of Shoegaze, the English label Club AC30 began releasing the Never Lose That Feeling compilation in 2005. This series not only paid tribute to the pioneers of the genre but also spotlighted new bands inspired by this iconic sound. Many of these emerging artists were part of the label’s own roster, showcasing the continued evolution of Shoegaze. The compilation became a three-volume success, with each album featuring 16 reinterpretations of classic tracks, totaling an impressive 48 covers. The reinterpretations offered a fresh perspective, ranging from the intriguing and creative to the more familiar, providing listeners with a captivating mix of nostalgia and innovation. For fans of the genre, it was a treasure trove of reimagined favorites.

Though the xxx project has since come to a halt in 2009, its impact on the Shoegaze community endures. The Never Lose That Feeling series remains a celebration of the genre's essence and its ongoing influence. Whether revisiting classic sounds or exploring fresh takes, this collection offers a heartfelt tribute to a movement that continues to inspire musicians and fans alike. (B)
