12-INCH DISCO

VA- Extended Seventies, The Dawning of The 12 Inch Era [2006] (3 x CDs)

“Extended Seventies, The Dawning of the 12 Inch Era” is a 3-CD compilation album released on May 15, 2006, by Optimum Sounds in the UK. 

Disco was all about the 12-inch singles, and it really did encompass a variety of genres and styles while it lasted. It features various artists and genres including Electronic, Funk/Soul, Pop, New Wave, Hi NRG, Synth-pop and Disco. The album is a well-curated and accurate sample of three facets of the music. Disc 1 features the biggest hits and acts like Donna Summer, Chic and Cheryl Lynn. Disc 2 is the deep cuts, with Cerrone, Bohannon, and Gino Soccio. Disc 3 features New Wave artists like Gary Numan, Lene Lovich, Sparks and the Flying Lizards at their most danceable. The album is a clear and well-balanced 3CD set with no sampled 80s-90s 12 Inch remixes. (B)

BEATLES SONGBOOK

VA - The Beatles Songbook [2005] (3 x CDs)

Thanks to their catchy melodies, creative use of instruments and undeniable authenticity, the Beatles are one of the greatest bands of all time. 

A three CD cardboard slip-sleeve compilation of Beatles' songs covers in every syles, from Joe Cocker to Frank Pourcel or original versions of some famous Lennon/McCartney's "Not-Beatles' songs". Even if it's a part of the "classic Beatles' discography, the original full versions of tracks are easily available by the Beatles themselves. Technically speaking, track 3-3 is the original version too (released 9 months before the Beatles' version). (Amazon)

VA - The Verve Story, 1944 - 1994 [1994] (4 x CDs)

JAZZ SUNDAY

VERVE

VA - The Verve Story, 1944 - 1994 [1994] (4 x CDs)

Verve Records is an American record label owned by Universal Music Group. Founded in 1956 by Norman Granz, the label is home to the world's largest jazz catalogue, which includes recordings by artists such as Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone, Stan Getz, Bill Evans, Billie Holiday, and Oscar Peterson, among others. It absorbed the catalogues of Granz's earlier label, Clef Records, founded in 1946; Norgran Records, founded in 1953; and material which was previously licensed to Mercury Records.  Verve also served as the original home of rock acts such as The Velvet Underground, Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention. The restructured Verve Records is now part of the Verve Label Group (VLG), a subsidiary of Universal Music Group. This company is also home to historic imprints including Verve Forecast, Impulse! and Decca Records. (Wikpedia)

For his tireless, effective, and classy promotion of first-rate musicians, Norma Granz must surely be one of the great cultural influences of our century, even if no one but jazz types know of him. More admirable (because courageous and selfless) is that he absolutely forbade racial segregation in his audiences and for his musicians. Granz was famous for making sure that all his musicians received first-class treatment, without distinction.  And what first-class music his people made! From the "Jazz at the Philharmonic" series to his long tenure with Verve (which he founded), Granz brought together the very, very best jazz musicians, under the best conditions, and let them play what moved them. 

Presented here is the The Verve 50th Anniversary (Canadian CD Box set) of  Story of Verve Story 1944-1994.

CD1 covers the first ten years of Verve’s history when jazz was moving on from swing and into its bop era. For the most part, this era is quite enjoyable with its brisk rhythms and free-wheelin’ solos. There’s an energy and zest for performing to the best of one’s abilities captured with these recordings, a chunk of which are live as performed in concert halls. Even the slower, bluesy numbers have enough soul in them that you can’t help but hang on each note.

CD2 showcases the mid-‘50s in all its boppin’ glory. There’s a good deal of the bebop groove here that’ll have you realizing where the roots of rock’n’roll originated from. The rhythm guitar was getting more opportunities to strut its stuff, that’s for sure. While swing was essentially on the outs by the Fifties, that didn’t mean big-bands went by the wayside too. Quite a few offerings of ‘orchestras’ are on display here.  We see vocalists showcased. Obviously jazz music had singers before, but when Granz established this print, it was with promoting singing talent in mind. This included such vocalists as Anita O’Day, Billie Holiday, and Ella Fitzgerald, who he personally managed. The duet with Louis Armstrong (They Can’t Take That Away From Me) is the clear highlight.

CD3 sees the Verve machine in full swing including a couple swing tunes. In the 1960s, jazz was entering its ‘sophistication’ era. It was no longer the default music of choice for hep cats and cool kids but upper-crust parties and college-educated professional adults. Fancy musical innovations like ‘high fidelity’ and ‘stereo’ were getting their starts too, and only rich folks had the money for playback machines that could take advantage of it. 

CD4 Verve Records must have sensed the changing tides, branching off into other music after founder Norman Granz sold the label to MGM. They still had successful jazz records early in the Sixties, but as the decade wound down, so did their jazz output. The music here showcases some of the more ‘leftfield’ records they released in this time, including Latin sounds of Cal Tjader’s Soul Sauce (Guachi Guaro), Kenny Burrell’s Last Night When We Were Young, and The Girl From Ipanema with Stan Getz and João Gilberto. The set closes with Hello My Lovely by Charlie Haden

A wonderful and highly varied collection of great jazz! It includes so many of the greats and others, that should have gotten a whole lot more attention than they did! The recordings are clear and crisp, and this is a good way to introduce newcomers to the wonderful world of jazz. (B)

I've rounded it off with 3 songs about Liverpool by non-Liverpool bands and a mystery bonus track.

Dobro Guitar is the name given in music circles today to resonator guitars that differ from ordinary guitars in the way they are built and played. The "Dobro" company was founded in the late 1920s by the Dopyera brothers in the USA. Today, the name "Dobro" is synonymous with resonator guitars, even if they come from other manufacturers. A real Dobro guitar is immediately recognizable by its aluminum resonator. The body is made of either wood or metal and has an aluminum funnel in the center instead of the typical hole found on acoustic guitars. This makes the sound much louder.

VA - Sweet Soul Music 1961-1975 [2008-2014] (15 x CDs)

SWEET SOUL

VA - Sweet Soul Music 1961-1975 [2008-2014] (15 x CDs)

This CD Album Series is the sequel to our R & B smash Blowing The Fuse series that documented R&B from 1945 until 1960. Sweet Soul Music starts where Blowing The Fuse left off and continues well into the 70s. Taking the story from 1961 until 1975, we'll witness the change from R&B to what became known as Soul Music. Every disc is in rough chronological order based on release dates rather than chart peak. All the great Soul stuff is here and all the great names. As to be expected are included groovy tunes only a handful die hard collectors remember and own. This set attempts to adhere to a policy of one song per artist per year. Also, whenever good stereo was available, it is used that in preference to mono.

It was a tumultuous era in African American music and culture. Over the course of ten spectacular years, R&B morphed into soul music with a side order of funk, and became the soundtrack to a social revolution. The riveting story of that incredible decade is told in full for the first time on Bear Family's 'Sweet Soul Music' series. The rapid evolution of the music mirrored the changing social climate. Everything seemed to be in play. Nothing was as it was. Through it all, it seemed as if every week yielded another batch of must-have singles.  

Some record companies have compiled anthologies from their own vaults, but Bear Family has gone the extra mile... and then some, licensing classic recordings from virtually every record label at the epicenter of ‘60s soul to compile the greatest hits with the finest sound quality. Though gospel remained the bedrock of soul music, the sound was transforming fast, thanks to Motown, Stax, the regional innovations of Chicago, New Orleans, and Muscle Shoals, and the funk revolution. The civil rights and antiwar movements were now rolling full speed ahead, and the messages at the heart of the music were often as powerful and invigorating as the grooves themselves.  Unfortunately, licensing restrictions meant that several artists, notably Sam Cooke and Ray Charles, were unavailable to us, but there is such a wealth of great music from this decade that they are hardly missed. Bear ensured too that several important R&B labels, such as Motown and Atlantic, were not over-represented.

So a few of your favorite songs from this era might be missing… but only a few. Once again, we would like to acknowledge debt to the files of 'Billboard' and 'Cashbox' magazines, as well as Joel Whitburn's Top R&B Singles. Without them, compilations like these would be almost impossible. 

Now let's get down with it, for your dancing and listening pleasure here is The Sweet Soul Music Album Series. (bear-family.com)
