JSngry Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 A massively expanded version of the original Sehorn's Soul Farm compilation – one that adds in a huge amount of bonus tracks, and makes for an even more essential batch of New Orleans soul! The cuts here all come from the original Sansu empire formed by Marshall Sehorn and Allen Toussaint – a key force in New Orleans soul of the 60s – thanks to Toussaint's amazing ear for new talent, and bold new styles of production in the studio! Toussaint went onto much greater fame on bigger labels in the 70s, but his work here is still his best – a hard-edged, uniquely rhythmic groove that forever changed the sound of soul in the Crescent City. The 2CD set brings together material that appeared on both original Sehorn's Soul Farm collections in the 80s – mostly culled from labels like Sansu and Deesu, plus bits from other sources – and it also adds in 18 more bonus cuts too, which makes for a whopping batch of 50 New Orleans soul classics. Cuts include "Sadie Mae" by Joe Haywood, "Did You Have Fun" by Willie West, "A Lady" by Warren Lee, "Chicken Strut" by The Meters, "Look Way Back" by Diamond Joe, "Man Of The Street" by Ironing Board Sam, "How To Pick A Winner" by Diamond Joe, "Lovely Woman" by Eldrige Holmes, "Hotcha Mama" by Ernie K Doe, "Mean Man" by Betty Harris, "Hercules" by Aaron Neville, "Sinner Girl" by Benny Spellman, "Blues Tears & Sorrow" by John Williams, and "Star Revue" by Warren Lee. © 1996-2010, Dusty Groove America, Inc.

Looks good. Is Betty Harris' "Nearer to you" on that? Crazy if it ain't. Did Plas Johnson routinely appear on Earl Grant records? Don't know about routinely. I have 3 now and he's on them all. I checked the Lord discography but mostly they don't state personnel on the sleeves, so he follows that. A long time ago, I saw a video of Earl and his band playing a long number in a black dance hall. He was sure moving those dancers around! And Plas was there, too. There's a LOT more to Earl Grant than lounge; but ignoring the lounge isn't necessarily a good idea, I've found. Oh, and if you find his 1962 45 on Decca of "Sweet sixteen bars" (yes, the Ray Charles number), don't fail to buy it, will you? Wish I'd kept mine.

papsrus Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 A lot of Documents: (...) I was sniffing around for the Mississippi John Hurt 1928 recordings, sampling three different releases: the one below (which I ended up settling on), the Yazoo release and a Document compilation titled "Never Let the Same Bee Sting You Twice," a three-disc set that includes the Hurt recordings. The main issue in deciding among the three was their use (or over use) of noise reduction software. The Yazoo used none, or very little, leaving all the pops and crackles. The one I settled on seemed to apply noise reduction quite aggressively, but to my ear that did not diminish the brightness of the guitar and vocals enough to make me choose the pops and crackles. But from the samples I listened to, the Document release was the most aggressive in their use of noise reduction, or at least it was used aggressively on the source material they chose. It sounded muffled in comparison to both of the others. I was a little surprised by this. Perhaps trying to judge this by sound samples alone is unwise, but even so, the difference was significant.

TheMusicalMarine Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 A whole bunch of Fantasy, etc. titles. Amazon merchants (namely Newbury Comics) has most of these for 2 or 3 bucks. Part of me wishes I was just getting into jazz now, because tons of OJCs that I paid 10 bucks or so for are available for bargain prices.

medjuck Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Reading "Ellington Uptown" so I just downloaded from iTunes Johnson's "Yamekraw" and Gershwin's "Blue Monday Blue" so I'd be able to listen to what he writing about.

JohnJ Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 A fairly large nearby music store was selling loads of new CD's for a little over $1 each. All complete dreck, apart from one, Ben Allison 'Cowboy Justice' which I naturally bought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Dakota Staton - Darling please save your love for me - Muse (Posting two, because they're small ) This is a 1991 album produced by Houston Person with Bill Easley on sax and Bross Townsend on piano. Very nice! Wish I'd bought these Muse albums when they came out. Dakota's chops are still what they were in 1957! Dakota Staton - Time to swing - Capitol (DRG) Another terrific set of small bands behind Dakota - including Taft Jordan, Joe Wilder, Phil Woods, Budd Johnson, Jerome Richardson, Kenny Burrell, Hank Jones, George Duvivier, DOn Lamond. This is from summer of 1959. Dakota Staton - More than the most - Capitol (Collectables) No personnel listed on this, but good alto and tenor sax solos. Perhaps Budd Johnson is on this but not Woods, I'd guess. Autumn of 1959, this was done. This one was the first Soul Jazz album I ever bought, back in 1960. My landlady's cat thought it was wonderful to watch the record going around and jumped on it one day. It's taken me a long time to get around to buying a replacement Two more Dakotas still in the post! MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdavenport Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Wilbraham Road, opposite Morrisons. There was a rack full of nice CDs - the owner said he'd recently bought a collection of about 600. The "Collector's" vinyl I only had a skim through.

Don Wilkerson "Preach Brother" Jimmy Forrest "Forrest Fire" Duke Pearson "Wahoo" Thanks for the heads up on this one, Richard! Went along today and came out with which I've known for fifty years, but never owned! Just under 300 used jazz CDs there in very good condition, most for £5, with an emphasis on Blue Note. Mind you, these places always play it very carefully as to what they'll accept - I just couldn't get anyone to take an Eddie Condon album off me and it was classic stuff (I'd replaced it with a more comprehensive CD). A few heartbreaks in there; e.g. spotting Paul Gonsalves Gettin' Together for a fiver, which I'd bought via Amazon a couple of months ago for a total of £9.79!
