1963: Nancy Wilson - Yesterday's Love Songs, Today's Blues |
Music » Jazz » Vocal Jazz |

 Artist: Nancy Wilson Album: Yesterday's Love Songs, Today's Blues Label: Capitol Years: 1963-1964; release: 1991 Format, bitrate: MP3 - 320kbp/s Time: 42:58 Size: 85MB Originally released in December of 1963, Yesterday's Love Songs/Today's Blues was the eighth in a long series of albums Nancy Wilson was to make for Capitol Records over a period of 20 years. During that time, she became one of the label's most artistically and commercially successful artists. The album was also made during the time when major recording companies were turning out sessions featuring black female singers with a gospel and/or blues background, singing standards and pop hits backed by a large orchestra, usually with strings. Columbia Records had Aretha Franklin, Everest used Gloria Lynne, and Capitol, Nancy Wilson. Here, teamed with the Gerald Wilson Orchestra and his arrangements, Wilson wends her way through 17 standards and traditional pop songs with a good balance between ballads and up-tempo numbers. Wilson's aggregation is loaded with many of the day's top West Coast players. Trumpeters Al Porcino and Carmell Jones are especially prominent, with Jones soloing on "The Song Is You." Harold Land's tenor provides the backdrop for "Satin Doll." On the last four tracks, Wilson is accompanied by just a rhythm section featuring Wild Bill Davis on organ and Joe Pass on guitar. Wilson and Davis combine to do a swinging R&B-tinged "West Coast Blues" and "My Sweet Thing," the album's highlights. In between these two cuts is the cloying "Tell Me the Truth," originally issued on a 45 EP and aimed at the female teenaged market of the time. ~ Dave Nathan, All Music Guide |

1971;1981: Herbie Steward & Marky Markowitz - The Three Horns of Herb Steward/Marky's Vibes (2 LPs on 1 CD) |

 Artists: Herbie Steward & Marky Markowitz Album: The Three Horns of Herb Steward/Marky's Vibes (2 LPs on 1 CD) Label: Progressive Years: 1971, 1981; release: 2002 Quality: MP3@320 kbps Size: 167 mb Total time: 74:14 Two complete LPs from the defunct Famous Door label are reissued on this single CD, both featuring underrated horn players from the late '40s. Herbie Steward was one of Woody Herman's Four Brothers, but by the time he recorded in 1981 he was playing alto, soprano, and clarinet rather than tenor. Although he had been a studio musician for years, he could still swing well, as shown on such songs as "Take the 'A' Train" (taken as a waltz), "The Song Is You," and "Gone With the Wind." He is heard in a quintet also featuring guitarist Eddie Duran and either Smith Dobson or Tee Carson on piano. The second half of this CD features another Woody Herman veteran, trumpeter Marky Markowitz, in a sextet with trombonist Urbie Green, tenor saxophonist Al Cohn, and pianist John Bunch. Markowitz is in fine form on a few group originals, a swinging "On the Alamo," and "How Deep Is the Ocean?" This set is easily recommended to swing/bop collectors. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |

 Artists: Various Artists Album: Mojo Club Presents Dancefloor Jazz, Vol.9:Never Felt So Free Label: Universal Records Year: 1997 Format, bitrate: Mp3, 256kb Size: 123 Mb with covers One of the most tasteful clubs in hamburg is the "Mojo Club". It opened up in 1991 and had several side activities like a shop, a lounging club and a record series.
The starting point was the music, from the beginning they called it "Dancefloor Jazz". It is jazz music from the 60's and 70's, that is very danceable. When they started to play that kind of music, it was new in the club and dance scene, because in the 60's that style of music hardly found its way over the ocean from america and in the 70's it were mostly intellectuals who listened concentrated to the virtuosly playing musicians instead of dancing. So they had to build their audience up by organising a lot of parties in different locations until they felt the time was right to open a club of their own.
They found a room on the famous "Reeperbahn", which is the main street of Hamburgs red-light- and also the amusement- and partydistrict. Before it was a musical instrument shop, so they had to improvise a club. They rent a sound-system and installed some slide projectors with images of 60's jazz musicians to produce the right mood. First they only opend on saturdays but soon found some like minded dj's to do the friday that concentrated on a more modern aspect of jazz: electric jazz.
They called the club "Mojo-Club". Mojo is somekind of positive magic in the carribean voodoo-cult. The term was familiar because it appeared in the jazz-music, so they took it as the name for the club. A friend of them, Marion Schnelle, did a logo, and for the flyers they had some rudimentary rules like "never use serif-fonts" as a first step of visual identity.
In 92 the Mojo-crew opend a shop where they sold old and rare records and also clothes, club couture mostly from england that you couldn't get somewhere else in Hamburg. Their style was mod-orientaded and also reached to old-school Adidas stuff. Even a hair-cutter was included in the shop, so you could get everything you need for a satisfied clubbers lifestyle!
That year they also released the first Mojo Club - dancefloor jazz sampler. It contained unknown songs from the 60's to early 70's by artists like Jimmy Smith, Roy Ayers, James Brown, Kool And The Gang and Nina Simone. The record was a big success, so it became a series, The club became very famous, people started waiting in a queue and the dj's made a tour through germany. |

1944-1951: Louis Armstrong - Duets With Louis Armstrong & Friends |

 Artist: Louis Armstrong Album: Duets With Louis Armstrong And Friends Label: Blue Moon Imports Years: 1944 - 1951; release : 2004 Quality: mp3/320 kbps Size: 168 Mb Time: 1:08:47 Ñ Íîâûì Ãîäîì è Ðîæäåñòâîì âñåõ êîëëåã ïî JBC ! There is something about a duet that gives it a special quality, a certain intangible something, for special quality, a certain intangible something, for In many cases neither one of the two artists is singing the kind of song he or she is normally associated with. Hence they tend to be kind of jokey or humorous numbers, wit" a lot of kidding around going on, and sometimes with plenty of very hip dialogue. (It has to be said that they are usually hugely enjoyable too!) Another ingredient is that of mutual respect, professional admiration, even love, which often shines through a particular performance - and the pairings of Louis Armstrong and Bing Crosby, Billie Holiday and Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong, Louis Jordan and Louis Armstrong all immediately spring to mind .- the great Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong significantly being the common denominator in each duo just mentioned. ~ Multiwaves. 2006 |
