Extractions: Today, the sound of Chicago blues is associated with searing electric guitars and harmonicas, yet Chicago was a blues mecca long before anyone ever thought of plugging into an amplifier. Singer/guitarist Walter Vinson of the legendary Mississippi Sheiks, singer/pianist Little Brother Montgomery, and singer Mama Yancey (widow of the great blues and boogie pianist Jimmy Yancey) were veterans of the pre-electric Chicago scene and were in magnificent form when Riverside captured their plaintive acoustic stylings in 1961 for its Chicago: The Living Legends MISSISSIPPI SHEIKS A Wonderful Thing, I Knew You Were Kiddin' All the Time, Things 'Bout Comin' My Way, LITTLE BROTHER MONTGOMERY New Satellite Blues, HENRY BENSON Jelly Jelly, Jelly Roll Baker, MAMA YANCEY Four O'Clock Blues, How Long Blues, Mama Yancey's Blues, Make Me a Pallet on the Floor, plus CD bonus track Santa Fe Blues

Extractions: Buy one from zShops for: Artist: Michael White Tracks: Average review score: One of my favorites... I first came in contact with this CD at the radio station I volunteer at. I host a Friday night Jazz program, and just happened to pop this one in. Ever since, it has been a staple of my programming. Wonderful and versatile jazz clarinet I happened across Dr. Michael White and his Original Liberty Jazz Band at the Jazz and Heritage Festival in New Orleans in early May, 2003. He is superb! From soulful strains on Summertime to lively numbers like Fidgety Feet to the bawdy Horn Man Blues (the one number with vocals, provided wonderfully by Thais Clark), this is a truly great album. Dr. White is one of the best jazz clarinetists I've heard, and when I played this CD for my parents (jazz lovers for 40 years), they loved it as well. Now I have to order it for them. You can't go wrong with this one. Jazz From the Soul of New Orleans Unfortunately, I had never heard of Dr. Michael White and his original Liberty Jazz Band until a recent trip to New Orleans. Jazz was not the type of music I listened to a lot. During our stay in New Orleans, we were invited to a church service at which Dr. White and his Band were the guest musicians. I don't think there are words to adequately describe what I felt, listening to the band and Dr. White's Clarinet. My husband and adult daughter expressed the same feelings.

Extractions: Buy one from zShops for: Artist: Rosalia De Souza Tracks: Average review score: Melodic heaven - jazz/bossa nova masterpiece Beautiful Voice, Wonderful Instrumentation by... Nicola Conte. The real name of this cd is "Nicola Conte Apresenta Rosalia De Souza: Garota Moderna". This is perhaps the closest thing to a new release from Nicola Conte besides the numerous remixes that he's done and the Jet Sounds Revisited CD. For a bit of background, this cd was released on Schema label, which is home to Gerardo Frisina, Nicola Conte, Fragmentorchestra, S-Tone Inc., Soulstance and the Break and Bossa franchinse and countless other dj's and producers in Italy. From that alone, you can get sort of the style of this cd. It is very jazzy, but the singer, Rosalia De Souza, has worked with other Schema artists as well. Namely, Les Hommes and Quintetto X, ranging in everything from a sort of trippy feel to jazziness. The style of the cd is the Bossa you would expect from Schema label artists and Conte. Up-beat and catchy, sounds of the 60's and 70's with imposing touches of modern flair. This is definitely something you would hear in a happening lounge where you can hear the person beside you yet wonder what is playing overhead.

Reviews for JCCD -3091: New Orleans Piano Blues - Cousin Joe/Alton Purnell Jazzreview.com - Internet Magazine In a distinct departure from its normal fare, Jazz Crusade has issued a "piano blues" album. Titled New Orleans Piano Blues, the CD features two legendary pianists from the Crescent City. As always, the label pushes the megabyte limit and squeezes in 22 great tunes. The first set features "Cousin Joe" Pleasant (1907-1989) in a 1978 London concert. The second part offers eleven choice pieces by Alton Purnell (1911-1987) taken from a 1965 concert in Australia. Cousin Joe was born in Wallaceburg, about 30 miles from New Orleans and a cloud of mystery surrounds his name. Brian Wood explains in his liner notes, that the musician was sometimes referred to as Pleasant "Cousin Joe" Joseph, "Cousin Joe" Pleasant and alternatively "Smilin' Joe." He began his musical career with a ukulele and moved to piano later.Cousin Joe was also a well-regarded dancer. His affiliations included the bands of Billie & DeDe Pierce, Paul Barbarin, Kid Rena and LuisRussell.

Extractions: ZYDECO FORCE JIMMY YANCEY Document DOCD 5041 Complete Recorded Works Vol. 1, 1939 - 1940 The first of three discs devoted to the recordings of one of the greatest blues and boogie piano players. Yancey's playing was beautiful, sensitive and fluid and compared to his contemporaries was quite restrained resulting a different and unique texture to his performances though he could romp a boogie with the best of them as heard on The Fives/ Janie's Joys/ Yancey's Getaway and other selections here. Although he started playing piano in 1915 he didn't make his first recordings until May, 1939 when he recorded 17 sides in one long session. There are 6 beautiful sides from a session in October, 1939 and this first disc ends with two tracks from February, 1940 where he accompanies undistinguished vocalist Faber Smith. Sound is excellent and enclosed books has interesting, if somewhat stilted, notes by Konrad Nowakowski and some excellent photos. Wonderful! (FS)

Extractions: By Joel Simpson Origins Meade Anderson Lewis was born September 4, 1905, in Chicago and died June 7, 1964 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in a car accident. He came from a musical family. He acquired the nickname "Lux" because as a child he would imitate the excessively polite comic strip characters Alphonse and Gaston, calling himself the Duke of Luxembourg. His father, a Pullman car porter, insisted he play the violin as a child. At age 16, when his father died, Lewis switched to the piano after hearing local boogie-woogie pianist Jimmy Yancey. Lewis was entirely self-taught on piano. He was a boyhood friend of Albert Ammons. Together they studied the music of Jimmy Yancey and other Chicago blues pianists. They also drove taxis together around 1924. In 1927, Lewis recorded his boogie "Honky-Tonk Train Blues," a driving boogie based on the sounds of the trains that rumbled past his boyhood home on South La Salle Street in Chicago as many as a hundred times a day. The record was released 18 months later in 1929, but attracted little attention. The recording company, Paramount, went out of business, and the record became almost impossible to obtain. Lewis did various things to survive at the time, the beginning of the Depression: he dug ditches for the Works Progress Administration and he returned to taxicab driving.

Smoked out: The recent reader dialogue in this column on the issue of smoking in jazz clubs prompted many strong reactions, mostly from anti-smoke advocates. However, there was one previously unpublished letter from a brave soul who admits to smoking. His comments walk a fine line, striving toward civil liberties, while being both pointed and considerate. For that reason, we give Rich Zeitko the last word for now.

Extractions: Martijn Schok Solo Piano De naam Martijn Schok staat reeds jaren synoniem voor boogie woogie. Martijn speelt op vrijwel alle grote Nederlandse jazz- en bluesfestivals en bracht tot nu toe zeven succesvolle boogie woogie CD's uit. Ook internationaal is Martijn een gerespecteerd vertolker van de boogie woogie stijl, en gaf hij vele optredens in het buitenland waaronder het festival in New Orleans (Louisiana, USA), het Queen City Blues Festival in Cincinnati (Ohio, USA) en de internationale boogie woogie festivals in onder meer Zwitserland, België en Frankrijk. Martijn's speelstijl kenmerkt zich door een enorme swing, stevige groove en grote virtuositeit. Duidelijk is te horen dat hij veel respect en bewondering heeft voor de muziek van de vroege Amerikaanse boogie woogie pioniers. Martijn wordt dan ook gezien als een van de beste vertolkers van de authentieke boogie woogie stijl. Naast bestaande boogie woogie en bluesklassiekers heeft Martijn een uitgebreid en gevarieerd eigen repertoire opgebouwd met veel swing, virtuositeit en groove. Martijn Schok (geboren in 1974 te Arnhem) hoorde voor het eerst boogie woogie op zijn vijftiende en werd meteen gegrepen door de lekkere sound en swing van deze pianostijl. Boogie woogie klinkt vrolijk, het swingt, er wordt op gedanst en het heeft een grote mate van improvisatie. Dat waren de belangrijkste redenen voor Martijn om te stoppen met zijn (achtjarige) klassieke pianostudie en zich volledig te richten op boogie woogie. Hij besloot geen lessen te nemen maar zich deze specifieke jazz-pianostijl zelf aan te leren.
