jeffcrom Posted January 23, 2014 Report Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) Billie & DeDe Pierce at Luthjen's (Center). I love New Orleans dance hall music, a sub-genre of New Orleans jazz that died out by the early 1970s, as far as I can tell. It was usually played by "short" bands (three or four pieces, as opposed to a full six-or-seven-piece New Orleans band) in neighborhood dance halls. The repertoire included some of the usual New Orleans jazz standards, but was heavy on pop tunes and waltzes - "High Society" and "Eh, La Bas" are found alongside "Let Me Call You Sweetheart" and "Merry Widow Waltz" here. The musicians stuck pretty close to the melody, but tended to play in a relaxed, engaging style - no racehorse dixieland, to use Bunk Johnson's phrase. This album was recorded at Luthjen's, a bar/dance hall in the St. Roch neighborhood, in 1953. The great husband and wife trumpet/piano team is joined by trombone and drums. It's not great jazz, or profound music, but an amazing snapshot of a Sunday night at a typical New Orleans dance hall. Later: Did DeDe Pierce really just play a bit of "Vesti la guibba" from Pagliacci in "Eh la Bas?" Edited January 23, 2014 by jeffcrom Quote

paul secor Posted January 24, 2014 Report Posted January 24, 2014 Kenny Drew: This Is New (Riverside Japan) Amazing to hear Wilbur Ware drive the band on "It's You or No One". If I were making a compilation of the best Wilbur Ware recordings, this would be on it. Quote

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted January 24, 2014 Report Posted January 24, 2014 Jay McShann/Buddy Tate: Crazy Legs & Friday Strut (Sackville) Oh, I should get this. Did it come out on CD? MG Delmark Records is carrying a large number of Sackville CDs. I don't know if they bought the rights to Sackville and will be reissuing more, or if they are just carrying what was already available. Crazy Legs and Friday Strut doesn't seem to be available on CD from Delmark. I'm sure that Chuck knows more. LP available from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00413FL8I/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used Thanks Paul. I'll look for a CD at UK Amazon, then. MG Quote

Leeway Posted January 24, 2014 Report Posted January 24, 2014 continuing my investigation of Michel Pilz. Another impressive date Pilz should feel honored! Pilz is someone whose name pops up enough but I don't really know his playing. Would like to though. Discussed this over in recommendations: Quote
Leeway Posted January 24, 2014 Report Posted January 24, 2014 THE WORLD OF CECIL TAYLOR - Candid Japan LP pressing. Cecil Taylor, Buell Neidlinger, Dennis Charles, Archie Shepp. I love this album. Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted January 25, 2014 Report Posted January 25, 2014 Mongo Santamaria - Watermelon Man! (Battle). It's OK I suppose. Not really as Jazzy as I expected. It has a bit of a lounge music sound to it that sounds so dated. Quote

Pilz is someone whose name pops up enough but I don't really know his playing. Would like to though. Discussed this over in recommendations: I'm intrigued as the image doesn't display. I first came across Pilz on the Manfred Schoof Quintet double disc compilation on ECM which was a revelation I'm a sucker for bcl so I dug around and have only found very interesting sessions when he's featured.
