Woody Herman "Heavy Exposure", Cadet 1969

Woody Herman, as many know his as a big band leader and fine clarinet player during swing era in 40s, before be bob started to take the spotlight in Jazz. Perhaps, the most famous for "Four Brothers", but he encourage young Jazz musicians to play with his band, whom later have become well-known figures in the history of Jazz. Even after Be Bop had become the much talked music, Herman was always keen to newer styles of music, and kept his versatilities by playing with big band / small band / pop, rock, soul-oriented music.

During 60s, Herman records with 3 albums with Cadet Records.With Cadent arranger Richard Evans, surprisingly he plays more rock and soul music at that time, mixing with Herman's splashy big band with Evans' soulful groove. This is Woody Herman "Heavy Exposure", released by Cadet in 1969. On this recording, he and producer / arranger Richard Evans combines Soul-Jazz arrangement into Herman's conventional big band style of playing, very tight with horns and yet groovy with fuzzy guitar, and funky drumming and percussions.

BTW, Donny Hathaway plays organ on the album.

Jill Scott "Who Is Jill Scott? Words and Sounds vol.1", Hidden Beach, 2000

This is just my personal story on how I came about Jill Scott.

I recently heard in the podcast "The Official Twisted Funk Show", when Marc Mac, of 4 Hero, was talking to DJ Rumble about his work with Jill Scott. And that reminded me with my first encounter with Jill Scott a long time ago.

I first heard Jill Scott when she toured with Th Roots for "Things Fall Apart" tour in 1999, where she came in for Erykah Badu. Then, I began hearing her on GIlles Peterson "Worldwide" on BBC Radio1. I was going "Who is Jill Scott?", that people talked about. That was around the time when BBC Radio started Internet broadcast, not podcast, but real-time streaming. And being such an experimentalist, Gilles did live video streaming from, I think, Maida Vale studio. (This was like 1999, and considering it now, it was real forefront challenge in terms of technology and Internet.) And that night's guest was Jill Scott. It was really amazing show, I remember. with full band. She sang tracks from herf album

I personally saw her solo concert, this time I think some of The Roots played with her. She was, and still is, great singer and performer, with such charizma and vocal power on stage.

Oh, and one other thing. When this Album came out, I bought CD. "CD"! Such a history word.

Randy Weston "Tanjah", Polydor, 1973

Randy Weston is the living legend for Jazz. As a soloist, his piano is so distinctive with his percussive touch, but he also shows his creativity as a composer and as a band leader.

In this recording, he teamed up with Melba Liston, who he had collaborated with from early 60s, and large group of big name musicians. Weston's ability to create timeless music and blend rhythmic sounds with African influence marks him one of the true originators of Jazz. On this recording, you could hear him playing Fender Rhodes, as well as acoustic piano.

The album was nominated for Grammy for Best Jazz Performance by Big Band in 1974 (the award went to Woody Herman's Giant Steps, the another funky electric big band recording)

Irakere "Irakere", 1979 Columbia Records

Going along with Afro-Jazz theme, this is "Irakere", released by Columbia Records in 1979. Irakere is Afro-Cuban Jazz group led by pianist and keyboadist Jesus "Chucho" Valdes and saxophonist Paquito D'Rivera. This was recorded at Newport Festival in NYC and Montreux Jazz Festival, and all tracks are composed and arranged by Valdes. The combination of drumming and brass is so energetic, so many change of tempo, and styles, from chanting to drumming to solos. In every tracks, you could find "break" to chop it, if you are in to chopping beats. But not in a commercial way, in a style of natural Cuban rhythm, jam session.

Though this album is everything about Latin-Jazz, it is so interesting to hear that there is a section in the middle on "Misa Negra", that Chucho Valdez plays acoustic piano in classical arrangement. Also interesting enough, the last track "Aguanile" is featured on Grand Theft Auto Vice City soundtrack: Radio Espantoso.

Personnel:
Chucho Valdes: Piano, keyboard
Paquito D'Rivera: Alto sax, Soprano sax, Flute
Arturo Sandoval: Trumpet, vocals
Carlos Averhoff: Tenor sax, Soprano sax, Flute
Jorge Varona: Trumpet
Carlos Emilio Morales: Guitar

Olatunji "Drums Of Passion", 1959 COLUMBIA Records

I was lucky enough to pick this original copy. The cover is not so in great shape, but it's the record that matters the most. This is Babatunde Olantunji "Drums of Passion", released in 1959 by Columbia Records. Olatunji's sound, particularly this recording, is one of the earliest to introduce African rhythm and sounds to US and influence some of great Jazz musicians including John Coltrane, Yusef Lateef, and Dizzy Gillespie. He formed strong friendship with Coltrane, in fact, Coltrane's last live recording was Olatunji Center of African Culture in Harlem in 1967, where Olatunji had found. It was also considered one of the first "world music" recording in the US.

The album consists of sitraightforward drums, percussions and chorus. Delightful and rhythmic drumming joined with vibrant chant in harmony. Not quite the same as Batucada or Afro-Latin rhythm of drumming. It is relaxing, but also intensifying, energetic, so many sounds and voices coming together as one. The essential, must-have album, I would say.

There is a CD reissue that you could pick up

Archie Shepp "For Losers", Impulse 1971

Archie Shepp is probably most known for his free-Jazz association, mainly for works with Cecil Taylor and John Coltrane in 1960s and albums from Impulse. As a leader, he started releasing albums from Impluse with fellow avant-garde artists such as John Tchikai, and Roswell Rudd. He also appeared on John Coltrane's "Ascension" in 1965, which was one of the most up-front free-Jazz, and one of my personal favorite recordings. But gradually, maybe from "The Magic of Ju-Ju" in 1967, he began to incorporate different sounds, as for this session the African rhythm. Other styles of music including gospel, ballad, blues, and even swing ("The Way Ahead" in 1968)

This is Archie Shepp "For Losers", released by Impulse in 1971. If you expect to hear his usual eccentric improvisation, anger, chaotic wailing, the first track is going to make you wonder whether you got the right album from the same person. The opening track is going completely to trick you. It is soul-Jazz, with vocals. Then the album follows with another soulful, R&B track.

This could turn the listeners who have listened his past albums away from listening the entire album. But wait and turn the record over to Side B. The 22-min track starts with latin-afro rhythm and Shepp playing the theme over and over, and then goes into the exploration of sound, the firing solo, and ensemble with female vocal. The B-side is definitely the reminiscent of Coltrane sound. In the album liner note, he states his admiration and respect to Coltrane. Side B is does not dissapoint any listners for Impulse recordings and free-Jazz.

Albert Tootie "Toudie" Heath, "KAWAIDA", 1969, O'Be Records

This album is incredible, not only exploration into spiritual afro-Jazz, but also features ensemble of greatest musicians at that time. Led by drummer Albert Tootie Heath of Heath brother (along with tenor saxphonist Jimmy Heath, and bassist Percy Heath of Modern Jazz Quartet), his first recording as a leader, the session includes number of 60s heavyweight musicians including Herbie Hancock, Don Cherry, Mtume, and Ed Blackwell. The album was originally released by O'Be Records, but later reissued several times (as Herbie Hancock's reissue). The original is out-of-print.

The tracks are modal, percussive, and has cosmic, spiritual vibe and fire. Personally, I consider this album is one of the recordings that have led to Jazz in 70s with more post-bop, spiritual, african sound and rhythm influence seen in labels such as Strata East, Black Jazz, Impulse, Milestone, and ESP. Recommend for black Jazz / spiritual Jazz listners.

Jack DeJohnette "Sorcery", Prestige, 1974

This is Jack DeJohnette "Sorcery", released by Prestige in 1974. This was his first release out of Prestige, after releasing several solo albums from Milestone and Columbia. The album is experimental, Jazz-rock album, and heading to all directions. Somehow he plays keyboard and sax, besides drums. This is before he started recording regularly with ECM in late 70s, and has what to become the signature electric guitar sounds for the label. All tracks focus more on rhythmic parts, rather than melody or solo.

Cannonball Adderley "Fiddler On The Roof"

I said it before, but say it again. Do not get fooled with album cover with Jazz records. They sometimes make your mind go wonder, whether you should get it or not, if you don't know anything about that record. My recommendation is "just go for it". I had that moment many times before, and I am sure you had one as well. And we all gonna have the same moment again and again in the future.

This record is definitely the true master-class Jazz record. This is Cannonball Adderley "Fiddler on the Roof", released by Capital Records in 1964. The record is produced by David Axelrod. During early 60s, Cannonball was playing with various musicians and in different styles of music, like "African Waltz", "Bossa Nova" with Sergio Mendez, with Oliver Nelson Orchestra, till he scores big with "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" in 1966. There is CD reissue, released in 2003 with digital remaster and bonus tracks. Check it on Amazon if you are interested.

Personnel: Cannonball Adderley (alto saxophone); Charles Lloyd (tenor saxophone, flute); Nat Adderley (cornet); Joe Zawinul (piano); Sam Jones (bass); Louis Hayes (drums).

"Discovered", tracks sampled by Daft Punk

Somehow my weekend get always busy and hectic, even though the weekend is supposed to be relaxing and chilled out compared to weekdays. I don't hate it, it's just I have many things to do.

This is "Discovered", released in 2007 by Rapster, a compilation of tunes sampled by none of the other, Daft Punk. A person said to me when we were listening to one of George Duke album "Master of the Game" the other day, about the first track of B-side "I love you more" is a sample Daft Punk used for "Digital Love". I haven't paid attention to what Daft Punk is doing or what tune they make anymore, since they have become the international stars, and, knowing and hearing them in old days, that is kind of like let down. I think I like what they do as entertainers, with metal helmets and space-ship-like stage and lights, they make funny video. But I never have caught up with their music in recent years. But on this compilation, I like their selection from wider variety of genre of music. I am typically impressed with soul selections like George Duke, Sister Sledge, and Little Anthony and The Imperials.

Ramsey Lewis "Up Pops", Cadet 1967

For any jazz records, you cannot ignore the album cover, especially when the album has pop-oriented covers and R&B materials. But you never know what you come across until you actually listen to the record.

This is Ramsey Lewis "Up Pops", released by Cadet in 1967. The album is arranged by Richard Evans. First, it is Ramsey Lewis in 60s, with his soul-jazz and funky-jazz piano sound. If you like jazz-funk, jazz-pop, soul-jazz, and think that you need electric guitar and bass and vocal, full band outlet, you definitely want to listen to his albums. Ramsey Lewis is probably the one of a few pianist who can create soulful sound with trio.

Second, it's Cadet and it's Richard Evans. He is the leading arrangers and producers along with Charles Stepney at Argo/Cadet Records during this time. He conducts strings for the album. Having said that, jazz album with strings does not sound like a good mix, as if the whole album becomes mellow and too much pop-influenced (not much improvisation). But Richard Evans is not ordinary arranger. He brings lively, changing, heavy sound with strings. I have been listening to arrangements by Richard Evans quite often for some time now, and I highly recommend this album as the example of classic Cadet sound.

Leon Thomas "The Album" & Danielia Cotton "A Rare Child

Hello and welcom to my blog. This is my new blog about my music collection, from Jazz, funk, soul, latin, Brazilian, samba, bossa-nova, to the latest of house, broken beats, drum n bass, and hip-hop, dubstep, and grime.

I have decided to start this blog about my music collection, mainly what I get, purchase, and deal with. I have been thinking about how I deal with my music for such a long time. I have been buying records for about 8 years now, and ever since the day one, I cannot stop finding new stuff and learning from them. From that, I have had some really incredible opportunities to meet people that I have admired, and people that have same passion for music. In addition, I have had great experiences with social networking tools such as myspace, facebook, imeem, youtube, to name a few. And not to mention iPod, podcasts, and bloggers for providing me with greater informations. Much respect.

For the beginning, I just wanna start introducing one of the records I have recently got.

First, 2 Leon Thomas albums I have not seen for a while. The first is "The Leon Thomas Album" from 1970. It's very up-tempo, drum-heavy, and very shows how great Leon Thomas is as singer as well as band leader. Highly recommended. (Though I might have another copy of this record somewhere)

Billy Harper Sax (Tenor) Arthur Sterling Piano Howard Johnson Sax (Baritone) Billy Cobham Drums Bob Cunningham Bass Leon Thomas Flute, Percussion, Main Performer, Vocals Richard Landrum Percussion James Spaulding Flute John Williams Guitar (Bass) Oliver Nelson Arranger, Conductor Gene Golden Percussion Ernie Royal Trumpet Donald Smith Flute Roy Haynes Drums Sonny Morgan Percussion Jerome Richardson Sax (Alto)

Another Leon Album is "Facets" from 1973. It is a compilation from his previous releases, with a little of reworks. He is groovy yet spiritual. The cover picture is just eye-catching, you never going to miss it.

By the way, both albums are original copies, and that's what I definitely go for.


Also, I have received CDR of Danielia Cotton's "A Rare Child". She is neo-soul, R&B, soulful singer from New Jersey. But she has alot of influence from rock music, such as Led Zeppelin, and Janis Joplin. Here is her on NPR Music.
