1965: James Brown's Illion Seller - Papa's Got A Brand New Bag |
Music » Blues » Rhythm-n-Blues |

 Artist: James Brown's Illion Seller Album: Papa's Got A Brand New Bag Label: KING (Jap mastering cardboard sleeve) Year: 1965, release: 2003 Format, bitrate: mp3; 256 kb/s Size: 54.3 ÌÁ "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag" is a song written and recorded by James Brown. Released as a two-part single in 1965, it was Brown's first song to reach the Billboard Hot 100 Top Ten, peaking at number eight. It was also a number-one R&B hit, topping the charts for eight weeks.
"Papa's Got a Brand New Bag" is widely considered the first recording to showcase what later became Brown's signature musical style, and marks the beginning of the development of the musical genre of funk. As Brown sings the praises of an old man brave enough to get out on the dance floor of a nightclub, Brown's band provides a horn-heavy backdrop with a prominent rhythm and an electric guitar riff for a hook. It is considered one of Brown's signature songs, and has been covered by many artists, both within the R&B genre and outside of it.
In 2004, "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag" was ranked number 72 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest songs of all time. The song is currently ranked as the 82nd greatest song of all time, as well as the sixth best song of 1965, by Acclaimed Music.
Brown recorded a big band jazz arrangement of "Papa's Got A Brand New Bag" with the Louie Bellson Orchestra for his 1970 LP Soul on Top. ~ From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |

 Artist: Claire Martin Album: A Modern Art Label: Linn Records Year: 2009 Format, bitrate: 320 kbit Time: 52:39 Size: 121 Mb Is jazz still a modern art? It's a hundred years old, after all, and some performers and fans seem to ignore everything written after 1940. But as far as the work of Claire Martin is concerned the question has only one answer. Apart from being one of the finest singers on the current scene, Martin is constantly searching for new writers and new ways to interpret them, ensuring that her own approach to music stays resolutely in the present. A Modern Art, her thrteenth album, is an eclectic recording that showcases her talents and those of a superb collection of backing musicians—it's possibly the best album of her career to date, which is saying something. >>> |

 Artist: Eddie Chamblee Album: Blowing in Paris: The Definitive Black & Blue Sessions Label: Black & Blue Year: 1976, release: 2002 Quality: MP3@320 kbps Size: 143 mb (sharebee) Total time: 65:41 Êðîìå ýòîãî çàìå÷àòåëüíîãî ñàêñîôîíèñòà, âû çäåñü óñëûøèòå òàêèõ çíàìåíèòîñòåé, êàê Buster Cooper, Arnett Cobb è Milt Buckner. Eddie Chamblee was a good, sometimes inspirational player who made contribution in both big band and small combo setting as well as early R&B. Chamblee studied law at Chicago State University, then played with several army bands from 1941 to 1946. He headed a small group in Chicago from 1946 until the mid-'50s, then worked for two years with Lionel Hampton, recording and touring in Europe in 1956. Chamblee went back to small combos, and backed vocalist Dinah Washington on many superb dates in 1957, 1958 and 1963. (He and Washington were also briefly married.) Chamblee worked with Milt Buckner and Hampton in the '70s, returning with them to Europe in 1976, 1977 and 1978. He also recorded with each musician, and did some sessions with his own band in '76. Chamblee played for a short period in Count Basie's orchestra in 1982. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide |

2004: Albert Cummings - True To Yourself |

 Artist: Albert Cummings Album: True To Yourself Label: Blind Pig Records Year: 2004 Format MP3, bitrate: 320 kbps Time: 44:39 Size: 99.11 Mb (+3% íà âîññò.) Although they might not admit it, fans of the late Stevie Ray Vaughan have been waiting for the next Stevie Ray to rise out of the blues-rock circuit, and while countless hotshot guitar slingers certainly have dressed the part, few if any of them have that same mixture of explosive skill and hard-earned soul. New England's Albert Cummings might just be the guy who can do it, though. Calling him the new Stevie Ray wouldn't be fair, certainly, but Cummings, a carpenter from Williamston, Massachusetts, has that same explosive, soulful and emotional tone that made Vaughan so special. He also is somewhat of an "aw, shucks" kind of guy, with very little show-biz about him, but when he picks up that Fender Stratocaster, sparks fly. True to Yourself is Cummings' debut with the Blind Pig label, and working with Double Trouble bassist Tommy Shannon is sure to draw parallels with Vaughan, but Cummings, although his guitar tone and attack are definitely similar, is a much more grounded songwriter, and there is somewhat of a domestic veneer to these tracks. Cummings tackles themes that would be familiar to any working stiff trying to support a family in an uncertain economy, and in this context, the blazing guitar breaks function as nothing short of deliverance. This workingman's approach works well on the best tracks here, which include "Come Up for Air," the explosive boogie of "Your Sweet Love," the moody "Sleep," and the wise and masterful "Follow Your Soul," which closes the album, but other tracks unfortunately fall into a sort of rote blues-rock category. Cummings is an intriguing mixture of everyman humility and blazing guitar genius, and True To Yourself has strong moments, but one can't help but feel that his defining tracks haven't been cut yet, and are perhaps just around the corner. ~ Steve Leggett, All Music Guide |

 Title: A Century of Jazz Author: Roy Carr Publisher: Hamlyn (UK) Octopus Publishing Group Limited Year: 1997 Release: 2006 Format: Paperback (color) Pages: 256 Size: 308 Mb Amazon.com Sales Rank: #1,829,575
Carr is an energetic and knowledgeable writer, and the book is peppered with lingo and little-known facts. Tracing the music's history from post-Civil War New Orleans to postmodern acid jazz, Carr provides an authoritative account of the music, a rare thing in such a lavishly illustrated volume. Carr is particularly good on topics that are too often ignored by jazz writers, such as the importance of European jazz and the development of jazz-rock fusion in the 1970s. Purists may balk at the space Carr devotes to some of these more ephemeral subjects, but they are undeniably part of the music's bountiful tradition and have grown even more important to the story since hip-hop "rediscovered" jazz in the '90s.... I would be surprised if even the most devoted students of the music had seen many of these photos before; Carr and his team have done a first-rate job in tracking down images that are as absorbing as the writing itself. - The Los Angeles Times Sunday Book Review, Marc Carnegie |

1975: Steely Dan - Katy Lied |

 Artist: Steely Dan Album: Katy Lied Year: 1975, release: 1999 Label: MCA Records Format, bitrate:MP3@320K & FLAC Size: 77.4MB & 226MB Time: 35:20 AMG Rating:  Building from the jazz fusion foundation of Pretzel Logic, Steely Dan created an alluringly sophisticated album of jazzy pop with Katy Lied. With this record, Walter Becker and Donald Fagen began relying solely on studio musicians, which is evident from the immaculate sound of the album. Usually, such a studied recording method would drain the life out of each song, but that's not the case with Katy Lied, which actually benefits from the duo's perfectionist tendencies. Each song is given a glossy sheen, one that accentuates not only the stronger pop hooks, but also the precise technical skill of the professional musicians drafted to play the solos. Essentially, Katy Lied is a smoother version of Pretzel Logic, featuring the same cross-section of jazz-pop and blues-rock. The lack of innovations doesn't hurt the record, since the songs are uniformly brilliant. Less overtly cynical than previous Dan albums, the album still has its share of lyrical stingers, but what's really notable are the melodies, from the seductive jazzy soul of "Doctor Wu" and the lazy blues of "Chain Lightning" to the terse "Black Friday" and mock calypso of "Everyone's Gone to the Movies." It's another excellent record in one of the most distinguished rock & roll catalogs of the '70s. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide |
