ABC - A BOX OF ABC [1982-2009] (17 x CDs)

A BOX OF...

ABC - A BOX OF ABC [1982-2009] (17 x CDs)

ABC formed in Sheffield in the late seventies, first as Vice Versa, then reshaped by Martin Fry into a group that treated pop as something cinematic and sharply dressed. Fry’s voice carried a smooth baritone that could rise into bright falsetto, and the band built their early identity around polished arrangements, bright brass, and a sense of drama that set them apart from the post‑punk landscape around them. They moved through several line‑ups across the eighties and nineties, yet Fry remained the centre, guiding the group from glossy new pop to harder edges, then into reflective adult work with a steady sense of craft.

This box traces that movement with unusual depth. The Lexicon of Love from 1982 appears in its original LP form and in two expanded editions, each one showing how Trevor Horn’s production shaped the group’s early sound with strings, tight rhythm parts, and a clear focus on Fry’s phrasing. The bonus material on the 1996 and 2004 editions adds studio fragments, extended mixes, and period B‑sides that show how carefully the album was assembled. Beauty Stab from 1983 shifts the tone with guitars and a more direct band feel, and the 2025 expanded edition highlights the contrast with alternate takes and single versions.

How to Be a Zillionaire from 1985 brings bright synth colours and a playful approach to arrangement, while Alphabet City from 1987 returns to a smoother palette with strong brass writing. Up from 1989 appears in both its original and expanded forms, showing the group working with house rhythms and late‑eighties production detail. Abracadabra from 1991 and Skyscraping from 1997 carry a more reflective tone, and Lexicon of Live from 1999 captures Fry revisiting the early catalogue with confidence. Traffic from 2008 adds a late‑career spark with sharp songwriting and clean production. The two discs of Never More Than Now from 2007 and the BBC concert from 2009 offer a broad view of the group’s singles and stage presence, while Hello! An Introduction to ABC from 2001 rounds out the set with a curated overview of their strongest material. (B)

VA – Songs of the Earth, Astonishing and Rare Voices [1998]

FOLK

VA – Songs of the Earth, Astonishing and Rare Voices [1998]

This collection feels like opening a window onto the world and letting the voices of entire cultures drift into the room. Songs of the Earth was released in 1998 by Auvidis in partnership with UNESCO, and the set carries that unmistakable UNESCO spirit, respect for tradition, careful documentation, and a belief that human expression is worth preserving in its rawest form. Every track comes from a different corner of the globe, yet the album plays with a quiet unity, as if all these voices are answering one another across distance and time.

What strikes me first is the intimacy. These are not studio‑shaped performances. They are field recordings, ritual fragments, work songs, chants, and melodies that have lived far longer than any commercial genre. The Khyal excerpt opens the disc with a sense of weight and lineage, a reminder that some musical forms carry centuries inside a single breath. From there the album moves through Balinese Tjak, Ainu upopo, Inuit throat games, Islamic zikr, and Siberian laments. Each piece feels like a glimpse into a living tradition rather than a curated showcase.

The sequencing is gentle and deliberate. A children’s horse song sits beside a ritual chant. A round dance follows a mountain ballad. A grinding‑millet song closes the disc with a rhythm shaped by daily life rather than performance. The effect is grounding. You begin to hear the shared human impulse behind all of it: to mark time, to honour ancestors, to celebrate, to mourn, to teach, to remember.

What makes the set so powerful is the way it refuses to smooth anything out. The textures remain untouched. You hear breath, room tone, wind, the shuffle of bodies. These details give the recordings their life. They remind you that music is not always crafted for an audience. Sometimes it is simply part of the world, as natural as weather.

Songs of the Earth becomes a quiet, astonishing journey. It invites the listener to slow down, to hear voices that rarely travel beyond their own communities, and to recognise the beauty in forms that exist far outside the commercial frame. It is a rare document, and a deeply human one. (B)

John Coltrane - The Complete 1961 Village Vanguard Recordings [1997] (4 x CDs)

SUNDAY JAZZ

JOGN COLTRANE

John Coltrane - The Complete 1961 Village Vanguard Recordings [1997] (4 x CDs)

There are live jazz recordings that document a moment, and then there are recordings that change the way you hear the music altogether. Coltrane’s 1961 Village Vanguard tapes belong to the second group. When I sit with this set, I feel as if I’m stepping into a room where the air itself is charged, where every musician is listening harder than usual, and where Coltrane is pushing past the edges of what his quartet had already mastered. These performances were recorded over four nights in November 1961, and the box set gathers them with the kind of care that lets the listener feel the shape of the week as it unfolded.

What strikes me first is the sense of exploration. Coltrane was moving into new territory, working with Eric Dolphy, Reggie Workman, Jimmy Garrison, McCoy Tyner, and Elvin Jones in shifting combinations. The music stretches, contracts, and opens again. Pieces like India, Spiritual, and Chasin’ the Trane feel less like tunes and more like living structures, built in real time. You hear Coltrane searching for new colours, Dolphy answering with lines that seem to bend the room, and Jones driving everything forward with a pulse that never settles.

The set also reveals the quieter moments. Naima and Greensleeves appear not as breaks from intensity but as reminders of Coltrane’s melodic grounding. Even in the most exploratory passages, there is a deep sense of purpose, a clarity that holds the music together.

Listening through the complete recordings, you begin to understand why these nights became legendary. They capture a band in transition, a leader reaching for a new language, and a club that allowed the music to unfold without limits. What you hear is not a polished statement but a process, a search, a series of doors opening one after another. It remains one of the most revealing and transformative listening experiences in jazz.

Playing For Change videos are all over Ytube. Artists from around the world contribute snatches which are built into a complete song. This is a sampler I put together. Some start quietly but all are listenable IMHO. They are in alphabetical order, I could noy decide on a sequence.

19) I think maybe the first they did. Some of the writers/artists join in. My fav is 15) Yusuf/Cat joins in. (They seem to love Bob Marley, but so go I!). Enjoy.
