Roberta Flack - With Her Songs, The Atlantic Albums 1969-1978 (8 x CDs)

ROBERTA FLACK

Roberta Flack - With Her Songs, The Atlantic Albums 1969-1978 (8 x CDs)

With Her Songs, The Atlantic Albums 1969-1978 gathers the first eight Atlantic albums by Roberta Flack into a single, unbroken listening arc, and it feels less like a career summary than an open door. Spanning 1969 through 1978, the set traces how a singular voice moved patiently through soul, jazz, folk, and pop without ever raising its volume to make a point. Everything here unfolds at its own pace.

It begins with First Take, still striking for its restraint and confidence. The performances feel close, almost private, as if the songs were allowed to breathe before anyone thought about charts or expectations. That sense of calm authority continues into Chapter Two and Quiet Fire, where familiar material is reshaped through phrasing and timing rather than dramatics. Flack’s gift as an interpreter shows up in the smallest details, a pause held just long enough, a lyric softened instead of emphasized.

The Donny Hathaway collaborations sit naturally at the center of the set. Their duets sound conversational rather than showy, two voices meeting on equal ground. As the sequence moves into the mid-1970s albums, the productions grow fuller and the songs more widely known, but the emotional focus never shifts. Killing Me Softly and Feel Like Makin’ Love carry their cultural weight lightly, revealing how intimacy can survive inside mainstream success.

The later albums, especially Blue Lights in the Basement and the 1978 self-titled release, close the box with reflection rather than nostalgia. There is no attempt to reinvent, only a quiet confidence in craft and tone.

With Her Songs works best when approached slowly, album by album, letting each chapter reveal itself. It does not argue for importance or legacy. It simply lays the music out, patiently, and leaves space for curiosity to do the rest. (B)

VA - Whatever You Want Bob Crewe's 60s Soul Sounds [2022]

R&B

VA - Whatever You Want Bob Crewe's 60s Soul Sounds [2022]

Whatever You Want, Bob Crewe's 60s Soul Sounds is one of those compilations that quietly reveals a world behind the familiar story of 1960s pop and soul. The name that ties it together is Bob Crewe, widely known for his work with Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, yet this set steps slightly to the side of that narrative and lets the soul material speak in its own rhythm. The twenty-four tracks were issued in 2022 on the Kent label, gathering recordings Crewe wrote or produced during the mid-1960s for a wide circle of singers and studios.

Voices like Ben E. King and Chuck Jackson appear early, reminding you how naturally Crewe’s songwriting could move between church-rooted soul and polished New York studio arrangements. As the disc unfolds, the atmosphere widens. Tracey Dey, Dee Dee Sharp, and Barbara Lewis bring lighter textures that feel connected to the Brill Building world, while the mid-section introduces tougher edges. Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels inject a burst of teenage urgency, and the appearance of James Carr adds a deeper southern weight. None of it feels scattered, the pacing moves naturally between moods, showing how many corners of the soul landscape Crewe’s productions touched. The final stretch leans into reflection. Walter Jackson and Kiki Dee bring warmth and restraint before the Time Keepers close the set with “3 Minutes Heavy”, a brisk, optimistic dancer that leaves the door open rather than sealing the story shut.

This compilation becomes less about a producer’s résumé and more about a moment in the mid-sixties when pop craft and soul feeling often shared the same studio floor. The songs sit comfortably beside one another, waiting for the listener to notice how those worlds overlap. Whether approached track by track or in one uninterrupted sitting, Whatever You Want simply lays out the evidence and lets the listening unfold from there. (B)

Elvin Jones - The Complete Blue Note Elvin Jones Sessions [2000] (8 x CDs)

SUNDAY JAZZ

ELVIN JONES

Elvin Jones - The Complete Blue Note Elvin Jones Sessions [2000] (8 x CDs)

The Complete Blue Note Elvin Jones Sessions brings together Elvin Jones’s Blue Note recordings from the late sixties into the early seventies, and what’s immediately clear is how intentional this music is. These are not loose studio blowouts or leader dates built around extended soloing. The tunes are generally compact, the moods carefully varied, and the sound consistently focused. Hearing the sessions in sequence makes it obvious that Jones thought in terms of records, pacing, contrast, and how a band moves through material rather than simply stretching out on it.

Jones’s leadership shows up less in instruction and more in feel. The drumming is always active, elastic, and deeply swinging, but never restless. Tempos breathe, rhythms overlap, and the ensembles seem to lean into his sense of motion rather than follow it. What stands out is how naturally the drums sit as an equal voice. They are not supporting the music from underneath so much as shaping it from within, nudging direction, coloring transitions, and keeping everything in forward motion.

Across the box, the range of tone and texture is striking. Cymbals hiss and shimmer, toms roll and rumble, and the bass drum lands with weight or restraint depending on the moment. Jones uses the entire kit as a palette, and even when he solos, there’s a sense of structure and narrative rather than display. Risk and spontaneity are everywhere, but they are balanced by control and clarity.

As a whole, the set rewards immersion. Shorter tracks pile up into a larger statement, and repetition becomes revealing rather than redundant. What comes through is why Jones earned the kind of respect that bordered on reverence. He plays like rhythm belongs to him, not in a domineering way, but with complete assurance. This box doesn’t mythologize Elvin Jones. It simply lets the evidence play, session by session, swing by swing. (B)

This compilation concludes my 2025 Best OST series.

Like all my releases, the choices are entirely based on my personal auditory experience, with little to no research whatsoever.

Since I often listen while engaged in long distance cycling, I tend to gravitate towards the energetic.

For anyone interested, you can download 2025 OST music that was considered, but didn't make the cut.

It will mostly be more music from the varying movies and TV shows that were used for compilations that were posted.

To make it easier to parse, I changed the filename format to commence with the "Album" attribute.

The download link is: https://pixeldrain.com/u/tQzqqPtd

Reminder - For the main release, each download will have two folders: "Formatted" & "Original tags & artwork".

The music in each folder is identical - the only thing that differs is imbedded tagging and artwork.

Enjoy!

"The art of improvisation in music did not begin with jazz, but the appearance of jazz in the early 20th century has certainly heightened the popularity of improvisation in all styles of contemporary music.

The artists featured in [...] Jazz Related Improvisation genre play improvised music that has strong similarities to jazz, especially avant-garde jazz. The boundary between the Jazz Related Improvisation genre and the Avant-Garde Jazz and Fusion genres may not always be clear, but generally the [...] Avant-Garde jazz artist comes from a jazz background, while the Jazz Related Improviser may come from a more eclectic background. Also, the artists listed in this genre may include groups that mix jazz artists with other experimental artists."
