Subject: Chicago Blues Calendar - 1993 ... review and order info

Organization: GE Corp. Research & Development, Schenectady, NY

I recently received a promotional copy of "Chicago Blues - 1993
Calendar" and thought a brief "review", of same, might prove
worthwhile to fans.

No scrimping here, each of the twelve months feature a 8" X 11"
black and white photograph of some of the best artists associated
with the Chicago blues sound including Charlie Musselwhite, Zora
Young, James Yank Rachell, Lil' Ed Williams, Jackie Torrence, S.P.
Leary, Willie Dixon and Sunnyland Slim, Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown,
Howlin' Wolf and his band, James Cotton, Maxwell Street Jimmie Davis,
and Albert King.  Additionally, the calendar features photographs and
birthdates for many of the most popular and well known Chicago blues
greats with notes detailing recording dates for blues classics like
Muddy Waters's "I'm Your Hoochie Coochie Man", Lonnie Johnson's "He's
A Jelly Roll Baker", Jimmie Reed's "Big Boss Man", and on and on ...
Finally the back cover is filled with information describing the resources
that serious blues fans will appreciate e.g. blues publications, blues
clubs, blues festivals, blues radio stations, blues mail order outlets,
etc.

Limited supply, order early.

Hrumph. I respect Lee Konitz and all (but not beyond reason
:-)) and Barre Phillips certainly doesn't need me to defend him
anywhere. But surely Konitz knows better than to make comments
like that based on a few sessions in playing situations that he's
obviously not familiar with.

Barre Phillips is one of the most melodic of bassist working in
creative improvised music, and also has one of the most beautiful
sounds that I've heard. (That's when he feels like being melodic,
or making a beautiful sound, of course.)

Subject: Dewey Redman's CHOICES (short review)
Organization: Geography and Planning, University at Albany
Date: Tue, 15 Dec 92 01:43:05 GMT

I recently got Dewey Redman's latest, CHOICES (enja 7073-2), and liked it
a lot, so thought I would post a short review.  Personnel:  Dewey (as, ts,
musette), Joshua Redman (ts), Cameron Brown (b), Leon Parker (d).  The
album was recorded in July '92 after the group had been out on tour for 
a month.

A major appeal of the album is the diversity of the material.  "Le Clit"
and "For Mo" are brisk DR originals for the whole quartet, with Dewey on 
alto.  The first of these two is particularly Ornettish in style (but does 
not seem derivative).  Both Redmans are outstanding.  These are freer 
settings than those in which I have heard Joshua before (the others being 
NEW YORK STORIES and Elvin Jones' recent YOUNGBLOOD), but he seems very 
much at ease.  A highlight of "For Mo" is the joint improvization between 
the two saxes that closes the piece.

The other three pieces on the album are all for trio.  Two ballad standards
("Everything Happens to Me" and "Imagination") feature tenor, bass & drums,
with Dewey on tenor for the first, and Joshua for the second.  Both ballads
are played pretty straight, but with considerable grace and imagination.

The other trio piece, "O'Besso," was written by Dewey and features him on 
musette (a double reeded instrument similar in pitch and tone to a bagpipe 
[well, maybe a soprano bagpipe]).  This piece isn't just a simple piece of 
exotica; it really cooks.  About halfway through Dewey breaks into what the 
liner notes call "chanting," but it's a bit exuberant and exclamatory for 
chanting.  Drummer Leon Parker shines on this one, especially in a long
and varied solo.  Very interesting.

In sum, a very good album.  Dewey is in fine form, and Joshua gets perhaps 
his best showcase to date to display his considerable talents.

He was a member og the Oscar Peterson trio for many years, untill about 
five years ago.

For many years in the sixties, I think, he was in the backinggroup in the
"Jazzhus Montmartre" (montmarte jazzhouse) in Copenhagen, Denmark, here he
played with a lot of different people including Dexter Gordon. A lot of
the gigs has been recorded, and there has been many studio sessions
with different solists and the "Montmartre backing trio". I belive that
most of it is out on "Steple Chase records".

NHOP has also recorded with Joe Pass, Phillip Catherine (NHOP-trio, on 
Steple Chase), and many others.

It's wonderful to see a fine musician receiving his due.  Allow me to
submit (for your approval) an interesting anecdote about Brian.  I
worked in a small record store on the east side of Milwaukee from
1974-1982.  At the time, Brian was a young, obviously talented musician
attending the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music.  He became a regular
customer at the record store and he & I became acquainted.  I and a
couple of friends were also usually the only audience at some of his
early dates - in particular, gigs at a "folk" club in Milwaukee called
"The Blue River Cafe".  The "group" consisted of Brian on trumpet and a
sax player named James Siegfried (yes, the very same James Siefried
who later gained notoriety under the moniker "James Chance").  These
shows were totally free-form and not for the faint at heart.

The last time I saw Brian was at Milwaukee's jazz club, The Estate
(this past year) where he sat in with Phil Woods..between sets we 
chatted and reflected on how far he's come.  A class act and a great 
musician.

Greetings from the void,

A friend recently commented that he had been unable to find any CD's by a group 
called "Reno Williams and the Sax Maniacs".  He described their stuff as R&B,
although he had also looked under "Rock" and "Blues" catagories.

Does anyone know if they have any albums out and if so, where in the DC area 
might he find them?

Does it *have* to be in the US?   Sackville Records in Toronto sell
Timeless CDs for $13US when buying 5 or more ($16 for one, $43.50 for 3).
Note that the quoted prices include postage!  They also carry Unity,
Unisson, Chiaroscuro, Classics, and of course their own albums, at
the same rates.

For a catalog or orders:
  Sackville Recordings

I've always had good service from them.

Try Roben Ford, it's blues with a Jazz feeling on some songs, then
jazz with a blues feeling on others. He's talented and have taste. The
album I know is "talked to your daughter" or something near this
title. He has a keyboadist (B3). On the more traditionnal look for old
jazz man who did play the blues to survive. I don't have name because
I don't have those type of records. Some Stevie Ray Vaughn songs are
jazzy with a lot of feeling. Bye

I agree with the sentiments of the last poster.  I recently ordered some
CDS from Descarga.  They came pretty quickly, and their 'backorders'
were filled within days.

The newsletter looks pretty good, it has dates of gigs, lots of reviews,
and I like it better than Latin Beat.

Finally, for 'novices' such as me - they were particularly patient when
I sought advice on what I should order considering my preferences to date.

Thats it - hope it helps.

Well the *stature* isn't the issue here, it's Giddins' perception of
the musicians' empathy for Mingus' art.  I haven't heard the album,
and was actually a little surprised that Don Byron's presence doesn't
alleviate some of the things that upset Giddins.  Frisell's texture
usually does lend a vague, pensive air to most things, although this
doesn't have to rob the music of its fire or of the blues (c.f. MONK
IN MOTIAN or NEWS FOR LULU...)

I think I will skip WEIRD NIGHTMARE.  I didn't like the Monk album too
much either.  It seems to me that Wilner should stick to more
malleable music, like the Kurt Weill or Disney albums.  The Kurt Weill
album is fascinating because it demonstrates just how *interpretable*
Weill's music is.  Monk and Mingus had extremely idiosyncratic musical
outlooks, though, and it takes some real digging-in to reinterpret
them in a fresh way.  It's hardly a one tune side project for people
without a jazz background.  I was worried about the Mingus tribute
album when I heard about it.  Sounds like one to miss.

I'm assuming these are the same sleeves that Cadence CDs come in.

They're clear plastic sleeves about the size of a CD. The spine on
the only one I own (Joe Gallivan Bigband, with Evan Parker and Elton
Dean) is not very readable. But all you need to do is fold it and
press it in the right places so the spine part will hold up better,
and the spine should be readable. Right now the paper cover inside
slides around too much.

What occurs to me is that in the mid-60's most American
musicians, even the very good ones, did not have the breadth of
experience with folk music/ethnic music/non-western music that
has become commonplace today.  Not only do we have high quality
recordings from all over the world (relatively) easily
available, we have the benefit of 30 years of cross-cultural musical
experimentation that has become increasingly sophisticated; for
example, I just heard a very nice Jan Garbarek/Ustad Fateh Ali Khan
collaboration.

Thinking of my first exposure to an "exotic" music that later
became very familiar to me (Bulgarian music), I was intrigued
with the sonorities and rhythms, but I certainly didn't know
enough to gauge the quality of the musicianship.  Perhaps the
Dolphy recording in question is Eric's first enfatuation with
the sounds and textures; I have no doubt that he could have
learned to discern the subtler points of Hindustani (or any)
music.

Thanks for mentioning this recording; I'm looking forward to
hearing it.
