Leeway Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 (edited) Check out the line-up on this album: Ronald Shannon Jackson, drums; Billy Bang, violin; Byard Lancaster, alto and soprano saxophones; Charles Brackeen, tenor and soprano saxophones; Vernon Reid, acoustic and electric guitar; Erasto Vasconcelos, percussion; Melvin Gibbs, electric bass; Bern Nix, electric guitar RSJ doesn't get much attention on these pages, but the guy was doing some cool things on the cusp of the 80s.

He certainly was. He brought four different editions of the Decoding Society into the Caravan of Dreams in the mid-1980s, and I was fortunate to hear 15 or 16 sets of these groups. And in all those sets, he only played one drum solo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in all those sets, he only played one drum solo! Yes, I can believe that. I think he was more interested in total musical approach than soloing. You can see that on "Eye On You." Something to wind up the listening session. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeway Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 I really admire Bennink's seemingly undimmed sense of fun, experimentation, and that certain wildness Bennink always seem to impart to his activities. Recent LP with Brodie West and Terrie Ex. I much enjoyed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffcrom Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 The internet has returned to my house after two days away! Don Redman/Claude Hopkins/Benny (not Bennie) Carter - Big Bands Uptown (MCA). Great music on one of those awful Jazz Heritage Series pressings. I've had this since back in the day.

I've a few of these , the pressings seems fine but the sound has been EQ'd to death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffcrom Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Lee Allen "Walkin' With Mr. Lee" Oh, hell, yes! Glad you like! If you want to hear it, I posted a needledrop of it on my blog (link in my signature)..... Oh, I'm quite familiar with "Walkin' With Mr. Lee." Starting tomorrow night, I'll be a bachelor for a few days, and as usual on those occasions, I'll probably pull out the boxes of 45's - blues, R & B, and lots of great New Orleans stuff. Right now: Pretty Baby soundtrack (ABC). This has long been one of my favorite New Orleans albums, with Kid Thomas Valentine, The New Orleans Ragtime Orchestra, Louis Cottrell, pianist Bob Greene, and even a vocal by James Booker. I just picked up a new copy today - I've had two previous copies, and they were both very noisy. This one is visually near mint, and it's better than my previous copies, but it's still got a fair amount of surface noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
