VA - Sixties Girls [2014] (3 x CD's)

SIXTIES GIRLS

VA - Sixties Girls [2014] (3 x CD's)

First off, not the whole of 1960's are represented here - we get 60 good quality tracks from the years 1959 to 1962 spread across the 3CD's. The tracks that have been chosen are very good, they range from early U.S soul tracks, chirpy teen pop to Classy Brit and French offerings. There are some class acts on offer including Etta James, Barbara Lyn, Julie Grant to name a few. It's nice to hear a few very early outings of Nancy Sinatra and it's always great to hear anything by Francoise Hardy and BB. Overall, It's a great looking package with good sound quality. There is no booklet, just a one-sided intro with a few small pics spread over the inside.    Some brilliant recordings on this set. Nice to get both sides of Clodagh Rodgers first Decca single along with Kathy Kirby's first Decca release.  It's great to be reminded of just how many great girl-singers there were back in the Sixties. Unfortunately, quite a few of them never had the success they deserved. (Amazon)

VA - A Capella Black Gospel, Look How the World Has Made a Change 1940-1969 [2020] (3 x CD's)

A CAPELLA

VA - A Capella Black Gospel, Look How the World Has Made a Change 1940-1969 [2020] (3 x CD's)

This recent gospel compilation from Swedish producer and collector Per Notini is a three disc, 84 track set focused exclusively on a capella singing without any instrumental accompaniment. Featuring many well-known quartets such as the Fairfield Four and Soul Stirrers as well as lesser-known artists, the set traces stylistic changes over a thirty-year period, concluding in 1969 before the ‘contemporary’ gospel era. These groups created some of the most inventive and progressive African American vocal music of the post-war period, which had a profound effect on later R&B and soul artists, not to mention artists across all other genres.

Presented in alphabetical order by group, rather than chronological, listeners can more readily compare and contrast artists from different regions of the country. Quite a few of the recordings on this compilation are considered gospel rarities, released as singles on labels such as Kno-Mar, Pepper, Scoop, Sara and Ohio, and many have never been reissued. Major labels (Aladdin, King, Decca, Savoy, Mercury, etc.) are also well represented, so a portion of these tracks are likely included on many other collections, but it’s the curation of a capella selections that makes this set unique

In the liner notes, author Ray Templeton explains how, in the absence of instruments, these performers had to work much harder to creative a distinctive sound, which required “assiduous practice, rigorous vocal technique, harmony and dynamics, honed by tireless rehearsal and keen competition.” Across the three decades of releases presented here, one can trace the “continuous innovation and development” of these vocal groups (blackgrooves.org)

The first half of the 20th century, vocal group singing was one of the most progressive and inventive of African American arts. In the absence of instruments, singers had to work much harder to make sure that their own distinctive sound grabbed and held the attention of the audiences and record buyers. An amazing legacy in gospel music – three decades' worth of tracks that feature just harmony vocals, no instrumentation at all – in a rich summation of all that the style brought to American music in mid-century!

VA - Muzik City, The Story of Trojan [2003] (4 x CDs)

 

REGGAE

VA - Muzik City, The Story of Trojan [2003] (4 x CDs)

Anyone who is a die-hard Trojan enthusiast will find plenty of surprises, secrets, and a really well-done booklet to paw through. The first two discs of Muzik City are truly some of the greatest moments in rocksteady and roots reggae. But just like a two CD Motown collection, this is really just the tip of the iceberg and John Holt, Lee "Scratch" Perry, Big Youth, and others have many more great moments to investigate. If all four CDs had focused on the hits and highlights this would truly be the box to own, but the third CD is hardly meant for repeat listening. Many of the disc's "Rarities & Oddities" are downright embarrassing (which the always honest liner notes are happy to point out). Trojan's forays into the worlds of calypso, novelty, and pop music were horribly misguided, and disc three is full of them (including a horrific reggae and yodeling matchup). Hard to imagine laughing at the stately Trojan label, but once that's over it's on to disc four's treasure chest of rarities. The hardcore should rightfully drool over the Jah Woosh and Keith Hudson team-up, a dank dub from Thunder, and an I-Roy/John Holt dubplate that includes a bit of studio banter. Great stuff for the serious fan, who probably own most of disc one and two ten times over. So who is this set made for? If your wallet is fat enough to forgive disc three, Muzik City is a fair introduction to the label that, along with Island, dominated reggae's early years. (AllMusic review by David Jeffries)

Offering a cross-section of Jamaican hits and roots classics from the 60's and 70's. If you have never heard tracks like "Johnny Too Bad", " Young, Gifted & Black" by Bob & Marcia or "Rivers of Babylon" then you are in for a great musical treat. This set is simply "the bomb" of reggae music.

PUNKY REGGAE

K's PUNKY REGGAE PARTY SPECIAL   - VA Punky Reggae Party - Two Sevens Clash: Dread Meets Punk Rockers (45th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition) [2022] (9 x CD's)

In celebration of 45 years since the first DJ sets by Don Letts at the London punk club The Roxy in the summer of 1977, where he played his amazing reggae collection to the punks.  This led to many punk bands incorporating reggae into their sound. Bands like The Clash, The Ruts, Stiff Little Fingers, The Stranglers, Gang of Four, The Slits, Generation X, The Police, Blondie, The Boomtown Rats, Elvis Costello, XTC, The Specials and many more all recorded songs with reggae influences.   There has never been an official compilation of this fantastic mix of punk and reggae; the original songs which influenced the punks and the songs the punks went on later to record.

Reggae and punk were thrown together by being mutual outcasts, two fingers against authority and a sense of an established order breaking down. 1977 was to be a seminal year for music, fashion and society as white and black street culture found itself with the same aspirations for possibly the first time. The relationship was cemented as bands like Misty in Roots and Steel Pulse appeared on shared stages at the Rock Against Racism gigs with bands like Generation X. In fact, The Ruts first single was released on Misty’s ‘People United’ record label and Steel Pulse went on tour with The Stranglers.  When Bob Marley went to London in 1977, he discovered, documented, and reveled in the punky reggae party.

Hope you enjoy this fantastic mix of classic punk and reggae. I put a tremendous amount of time and research into this compilation to make it truly authentic to what was being played in the clubs by Don Letts and the reggae inspired punk music that followed.

Enjoy!

Documentary:

Sky Arts presents: Two Sevens Clash: Dread Meets Punk Rockers by acclaimed director, DJ and musician Don Letts as he trawls through his extensive archive of Super 8 films from the 1970s to tell the story of when the politically alienated, multicultural youth of the era made their voices heard via the sounds of punk, dub and reggae.

The sounds of Rasta culture in London could be heard in readings by Linton Kwesi Johnson and records played at The Roxy - by Letts himself when resident DJ - and were key influences on songs by The Clash and The Slits. Bob Marley would pinpoint the era as the ‘Punky Reggae Party’. Don offers a first-hand account of this scene and the trail that it blazed to shape music history.

Dizzy Gillespie - Verve Phillips Small Group Sessions [2006] (7 x CD's)

 

JAZZ SUNDAY

DIZZY GILLESPIE

Dizzy Gillespie - Verve Phillips Small Group Sessions [2006] (7 x CD's)

Dizzy Gillespie's career soared with the surge of interest in bop, but after the failure of his independent Dee Gee label, his career was in the doldrums. In 1953, Norman Granz added the trumpeter to his successful Jazz at the Philharmonic all-star roster for tours and also signed him to a non-exclusive recording contract, where the producer was very open to most anything Gillespie wished to record. This seven-CD boxed set, a limited edition of 10,000 compiled by Mosaic, draws material from selected studio and live sessions made for Granz between 1954 and 1961, in addition to a number of studio dates made for Philips, all of which featured his working bands of the time.

The Verve tracks are a treasure trove, as a good deal of these performances were not reissued on CD until this compilation, with six selections appearing for the first time in this collection. Aside from some of the early novelty songs like "Hey Pete! Let's Eat More Meat," the calypso-flavored "Money Honey," and the perennial jive number "Swing Low, Sweet Cadillac," which wear out their welcome quickly, the remaining material is very strong. Up and coming musicians in his bands include saxophonists Hank Mobley, Gigi Gryce, and Benny Golson, along with pianists Ray Bryant and Junior Mance. One of the obvious highlights is alto sax great Johnny Hodges' guest appearance on "Squatty Roo," which bolsters Gillespie's playing to its highest level. The addition of the relatively unheralded Leo Wright (who doubles on flute and alto sax) and young pianist Lalo Schifrin for a brief concert at the Museum of Modern Art marks the end of his association with Verve, which was sold by Granz that very same year.

Several of the earliest Philips sessions find Gillespie incorporating Brazilian influences and exploring the music of Antonio Carlos Jobim, Luiz Bonfá, and even one extended work by Schifrin, "Mount Olive." Dizzy Gillespie & the Double Six of Paris features collaborations with a group of French vocalists arranged by Lalo Schifrin, with most of the songs utilizing Bud Powell, Pierre Michelot, and Kenny Clarke, with the trumpeter's regular group of the time on two selections. The Double Six of Paris' leader Michel Perin's vocalese interpretations of Charlie Parker's instrumental solos from Gillespie's well-known records of "Hot House" and "Groovin' High" are outstanding, as are the big-band arrangements recast for small group and voices. The final sessions feature James Moody and Kenny Barron, with Chris White and Rudy Collins. The tracks from Dizzy Goes Hollywood are enjoyable but far too brief, as most of them hover around the three-minute mark. Better are the songs from Original Score from the Cool World, an updated look at music Dizzy composed for the film, with fine arrangements by Tom McIntosh. This collection should be considered essential for any Dizzy Gillespie fan. (AllMusic review by Ken Dryden)
