Indeed. I only wish that somehow the performance of "Fine and Mellow" that was played on the television show could have been included on this recording. That one is untouchable, though I guess watching Pres and Billie on video tops even an audio version.

Primitive Piano (The Sirens)

[jeffcrom]

Charles Tyler - Saga of the Outlaws (Nessa). By far the best performance by Tyler I've ever heard; nothing else even comes close.

Max Roach + 4

[jeffcrom]

Syl Johnson - Complete Mythology (Numero). An amazing 4-CD / 6-LP set - the same material, arranged somewhat differently. I'm listening to the first CD now, with Johnson's earliest recordings.

Beautiful presentation by Numero for sure .... amassing all his pre-Hi recordings this material documents Syl Johnson as a more than capable singer with a strong(er)urgency in his delivery - probably capitalizing on the fact the here he felt/was treated like a (coming) star - Twinight (!!) .... later at Hi Records he was always somehow lagging behind Al Green`s success story ....

[soulpope]

So here we go with some prime Syl Johnson @Hi Studios, Memphis .... the superb title track (standing for an unintended allegory of Johnson`s treatment at Hi) gives Johnson the chance to shine and the horn arrangements are spot on .... the harder hitting songs were so perfect for both Syl Johnson and Otis Clay, but the smooth downtempo material was strictly taylor made for Al Green`s voice ....
