Chuck Carbo - Life's Ups and Downs (504). In a New Orleans mood tonight. The late Chuck Carbo was one of the great New Orleans R & B voices. This album also represents Alvin "Shine" Robinson's last recording.

The band is great; the drummer is one of my (two) favorite living New Orleans drummers, Shannon Powell. I saw him at Preservation Hall last week, and have to tell this story. The doors to the Hall open at 8:00 PM. At 7:55, a red SUV drove up St. Peter Street, pretty fast. Across the street from where we music lovers were in line, there was a parking spot that was maybe six inches longer than the SUV on each side. The driver started backing up to parallel park, and we all thought he was crazy. But in seconds, the SUV was in the spot, without hitting the cars on either side. The driver got out - it was Shannon Powell, late as usual. He got his first ovation of the evening before he played a note - everybody up and down the street clapped.

Gene Ammons and Sonny Stitt with Brother Jack McDuff - Soul Summit (green label Prestige with RVG side 2).

It's funny to read Bob Porter's 1966 liner notes where he spends most of the time saying that a blowing session with Ammons & Stitt is somehow better than anyone else's when in reality, it isn't. Pretty much just a plain ol' jam session. LP was stored in a basement too. Musty basement smell that just won't go away.

BTW, Ray Baretto goes uncredited on this reissue. Was he credited on the original?
