Artist: Robert Cray & Albert Collins Album: In Concert Label: Indigo Records Year: 1977 Release: 1999 Format, bitrate: mp3, 256 kb/s Time: 1:17:56 Size: 143 Mb (full covers)
The set here is from Canada in 197?. Roberts band is in full swing. This is Cray well before fame. It's a small club setting. Cray is performing wonderfully you can feel the 'on stage' magic. The music is filled with his soulful style, and fully drenched in his influences. Milton Campbell's 'That Will Never Do' and Jimmy Rogers 'One Kiss' are two examples of Roberts wonderfully dedicating the owners of these songs with his style and entwined into being a Cray Driven song without any trap of imitation. That soulful voice, confident guitar, clean sounding with a touch 'little dirty' when just needed.
Artist: Robert Cray Album: Smokin' Gun Label: Speedball Company (bootleg) Year: 1989 Release: 1991 Format, bitrate: mp3, 256 kb/s Time: 50:23 Size: 79,5 Mb (cover)
This bootleg is more like a Greatest Hits recorded live in 1989 during the "Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark" tour in U.S.A. The sound is impecable and so is the band playing.
Artist: Nina Simone Album: The Blues Label: Novus 70 Year: 1966 - 1971 Release: 1991 Format, bitrate: mp3, 320kb/s Time: 51:46 Size: 112MB AMG Rating:
Most of the music on this CD reissue dates from 1966-67, featuring the unique singer-pianist Nina Simone joined by a funky rhythm section (with Eric Gale and Rudy Stevenson on guitars and organist Ernest Hayes) in addition to Buddy Lucas on tenor and harmonica; a few of the other selections utilize a larger backup group. Simone is the star throughout the blues-based material, performing fresh and emotional versions of such songs as Lil Green's "In the Dark," "My Man's Gone Now," "Since I Fell for You" and "The House of the Rising Sun." Some of Simone's original songs deal frankly with love and sex while others protest racism and poverty. Stimulating and still-timely music.
This 1964 session was pretty laid-back and subdued, Scott leading a quartet including Kenny Burrell on guitar, Otis Finch on drums, and Eddie Kahn on bass. It's Sunday morning soul-jazz, and such is the languor and even keel of most of the tunes. Burrell has almost as much presence as Scott does on this date, coming to the fore with bluesy licks on the cover of T-Bone Walker's "They Call It Stormy Monday" (as it's titled here), getting into a more bopping groove on the folk cover "The Kerry Dance," and setting an easygoing pace on "Trav'lin' Light." The musicians get most adventurous on Miles Davis' "Solar," with an angularity and briskness missing from the other cuts. All six of the tunes are covers, including the overdone standard "Baby, It's Cold Outside." The album has been available in its entirety, in tandem with Scott's Soul Sister (recorded in 1960) on Prestige's CD reissue Soul Sister, which adds the title song from Scott's LP Now's the Time. ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide

A crisp, powerful, and swinging drummer, Alvin Queen hasn't recorded as often as his talents merit, but what he's done is consistently engaging and demanding. Queen worked with George Benson and Stanley Turrentine, then traveled to Europe with Charles Tolliver's quartet. During the '70s, he worked with the group Music Inc., co-led by Tolliver and Stanley Cowell. Queen departed America in 1979 for Switzerland, and established Nilva Records. He then toured France with Plas Johnson and Harry Edison, and recorded with John Collins and Junior Mance in the '80s; while also working in Zurich with a trio led by Wild Bill Davis and recording with another led by Lonnie Smith. He also did his own dates. Queen has no sessions currently available on CD, but can be heard on reissues by Music Inc.
Artist: Robert Cray Album: Who's Been Talkin' Label: Mercury Records Release: 1980 Format, bitrate: mp3, 256 kb/s Time: 35:47 Size: 66,6 Mb (covers) AMG Rating:
The Pacific Northwest-based blues savior's first album in 1980 boded well for his immediate future. Unfurling a sterling vocal delivery equally conversant with blues and soul, Cray offers fine remakes of the Willie Dixon-penned title tune, O.V. Wright's deep soul romp "I'm Gonna Forget About You," and Freddy King's "The Welfare (Turns Its Back on You)," along with his own "Nice as a Fool Can Be" and "That's What I'll Do." ~ Bill Dahl at AMG
Artist: Stan Kenton Album: Cuban Fire! Label:Creative World Year:1956 Release: 1991 Format, bitrate: MP3, 192kbit/s Time:53:34 Size: 73,6 MB
This CD contains one of the classic Stan Kenton albums, a six-part suite composed and arranged by Johnny Richards. The Kenton orchestra was expanded to 27 pieces for these dates including six percussionists, two French horns and six trumpets. With such soloists as tenor-great Lucky Thompson (on "Fuego Cubano,") trombonist Carl Fontana, altoist Lennie Niehaus, Bill Perkins on tenor and trumpeters Sam Noto and Vinnie Tanno, and plenty of raging ensembles, this is one of Stan Kenton's more memorable concept albums of the 1950s.
Radomir Mihailovic "Tocak" is guitarist, composer and leader of the band SMAK. His playing style is characterised by mixture of emotional expression and unique technique. Among other things, his specific style includes skillful fingerpicking and vibrato techniques. In many compositions he uses non-standard string tunings along with natural effects obtained from the guitar amplifier. For a long time he's been running his own guitar school. As a solo artist he took part in many recording sessions of other bands. Together with Slobodan Stojanovic on drums and Mikica Milosavljevic on bass, he is playing in a trio called TEK. Another of his official band was RMT trio in which he played during the '80s with Lola Andrijic on bass and David Moss on drums. He also composed soundtracks for film and theatre, and in 1994 he was awarded for the "Byzantine Blue" film score. Tocak is also engaged in experimenting with computers while composing. His nickname means "the Wheel" because he got a tattooed wheel on his right hand as a memory of his father - who was a wheelmaker. ~Adapted from SMAK official Web site
Artist - Roy Eldridge Album - The Nifty Cat Label - New World Records Year - 1970, release - 1992 Quality - MP3@320 kbps Size - 87,5 mb Total time - 39:46 AMG rating
One of only two Eldridge-led studio sessions from the 1961-74 period, this CD reissue of a set originally recorded for Master Jazz matches the great swing trumpeter with Budd Johnson (who doubles on tenor and soprano), trombonist Benny Morton, pianist Nat Pierce, bassist Tommy Bryant and drummer Oliver Jackson. All six of the jump tunes are by Eldridge with "5400 North" and "Ball of Fire" being best-known. For this album the veteran trumpeter had a very rare opportunity to call his own shots on a recording date and the generally inspired playing makes this CD a fine example of small-group swing from the early '70s.
This unique straight-ahead jazz project unites three core members of Return to Forever with post-bop horn heavyweights Freddie Hubbard and Joe Henderson. Stanley Clarke makes an unusual appearance on upright bass, and plays it well. Chick Corea and Lenny White round out the ensemble. The set is strictly acoustic, beginning and ending with two Lenny White tunes, the lively " L's Bop " and the somber, dramatic " Guernica, " respectively. Clarke contributes the catchy, mid-tempo blues " Why Wait, " while Corea gives us " October Ballade " and Hubbard dusts off his hard-bop classic " Happy Times. " Corea's trio featured on Steve Swallow's " Remember " breaks things up nicely.
Artist: Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson Album: Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson & Roomful of Blues Label: Muse Year: Jan 27, 1982 Release: 1994 Format, bitrate: mp3, 320kb/s Time: 38:26 Size: 89MB AMG Rating:
For mr. lex!
If there were justice in the world, Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson would have been able to tour with this type of group throughout much of his career. Roomful of Blues, a popular five-horn nonet, has rarely sounded more exciting than on this musical meeting with the legendary singer/altoist. Vinson himself is exuberant on some of the selections, particularly "House of Joy," one of five instrumentals among the eight selections. Whether one calls it blues, bebop, or early R&B, this accessible music is very enjoyable and deserves to be more widely heard. Among the supporting players, tenorman Greg Piccolo, trumpeter Bob Enos, and guitarist Ronnie Earl (in one of his earliest recordings) win honors.
