Charlie Feathers: The Legendary 1956 Demo Session (Zu-Zazz)

Wow .. this ...

I wouldn't have thought I'd see you go on a rockabilly binge. And then with such a connoisseur disc.

Hats off to your eclectic tastes.

(FWIW, if I am in the mood for Charlie, I pull out this one below - have seen the ZuZazz LP countless times in the record stall bins back in the day and thinking about it now don't even know why I passed it up - maybe because of duplicate alternates?)

I love Charlie Feathers' music!  I used to have a copy of Jungle Fever, but it went in the midst of cutting back my collection. I'm sure that I have everything on it among the Feathers LPs and CDs I still have.

Jaki Byard - Freedom Together! [Transatlantic]

the slightly beat up vinyl doesn't detract from a varied and stimulating listen

Yeah, it's a cracker. It's my only Byard. - the use of percussion, vibes and bowed bass really stands out for me.Do any others have the same interesting mix of instrumentation?

Max Cilla - La Flute Des Mornes, Volume 1 [Bongo Joe/Sofa]

Interestingly, my LP copy is on German Saba, who must have come to a similar deal to the one Transatlantic had around that time with Prestige. It has the same cover but the Saba label imprint.

Jaki Byard with Strings! uses similar instrumentation, although it isn't exactly the same:

Piano, Organ – Jaki Byard
Violin – Ray Nance
Cello – Ron Carter
Guitar – George Benson
Bass – Richard Davis
Drums, Vibraphone – Alan Dawson

The title is a bit misleading. The strings are the violin, cello, guitar and bass -- not a full string section like most "with strings" records.

Possibly inspired by Jeff's juke box pic,

I decided to play some 45's:

Doc Terry: Things Can't Stay the Same/Dr. Boogie (DTP)

Otis Rush: All Your Love (I Miss Loving) (Cobra)

Ray Harris: Come On, Little Mama (Sun)

Flash Terry: Her Name Is Lou (Lavender)

Good Jelly Bess: (You'll Have To) Come and Get It (Hermitage) - "Good Jelly Bess" is said to have been Billy Lee Riley, though he denied it. He may have at least have played harp on the record. Some sources say that the singer may be Fred Carter, who wrote the song and who was Ronnie Hawkins' guitarist in the Hawks, the precursor to The Band, and later did yeoman work in the Nashville studios. Either way, it's a good enough Jimmy Reed take off to have made the first two editions of Blue Records. Having listened to a later version of the song by Carter on YouTube, I have to go with Riley as the vocalist. I don't think Carter's voice was funky enough.

 

Screamin' Jay Hawkins: Monkberry Moon Delight (Queen Bee)
