JBJ 1043EP
|
Two killer Jump work-outs from one of the leading voices in the transgression from R&B to rock and roll. Amos Milburn shot to fame in the mid-'40s and then went on to carve something of a niche making booze blues number. Here, Amos is in a mainly sober if playful mood as he sings along with snappy lyrics about the fairer sex to a red-hot backing ensemble on "I Done Done It," while on "Greyhound" he pleads wistfully for the famous bus to bring his sweetheart home.

Oscillating and reverberating chaotically through sonic orbs and polyphonic sound textures, The Sign Of Four is a new creative concept from the Natural Yogurt Band's Miles Newbold. Hammer, Anvil & Stirrup is the debut album from The Sign Of Four on Jazzman Records and is spread exquisitely across 2x10" LPs in hand-printed sleeves and a digipack CD. Recorded live at Chicken Shack studios in Nottingham, real musical instruments are used to create a swirling jungle of throbbing palpitations, evoking the spaced-out vibes of an unsound mind. It's an infectious fermentation of debauched instrumental chaos, sometimes calming, but often unnerving, that will leave the listener bewildered, wide-eyed and gasping for more. The 11-track album also contains two tracks from Sun Suite, an alternative incarnation of The Sign Of Four, that see out the release in a less chaotic fashion, a sonic antidote to the preceding pandemonium.

JBJ 1042EP
|
Lalo Guererro's "Los Chucos Suaves" is perhaps the definitive recording in the short-lived Los Angeles sub-genre of Pachuco music, the sounds which emanated from the Mexican youth sub-culture of the same name in the late 1940s. A hybrid of American jazz, pop, and Latin American rhythms, with songs sung in Spanish and dense in Chicano slang, the movement was an intriguing sub-plot in rock and roll history. On the flip is a terrific rendition of The Champs' "Tequila," sung in Spanish, with a loose, jazzy approach.

Triple LP version. Housed in a deluxe triple gatefold sleeve with download card for the entire album. Jazzman Records presents the fourth volume in their Spiritual Jazz compilation series. It's well-known that throughout the 20th century, fed up with poor working conditions and racism in their home country, many American jazz musicians chose to leave the U.S. in order to live and work in Europe. What's less well-known is how their music developed and evolved during their time on the continent, and how the experience of being a musician in Europe was to shape their lives. Over the years, countless jazz concerts, festivals and recordings featuring American jazz musicians have taken place all over Europe, yet it's remarkable how few of these musical artifacts have been evaluated by the jazz community. Jazzman seeks to assess the European experiences of the American jazzman, with a specific focus on the progressive sounds of modal jazz and the avant garde. We examine the recordings made by those who crossed the Atlantic just to take in a short tour, as well as those who made more frequent trips, and of course, those for whom Europe ultimately became their permanent place of residence. Radical new jazz sounds were created as renowned ex-pat American jazzmen mingled with the crème de la crème of their European counterparts. Early developments in world music inspired by trans-global cultural excursions to Asia, Africa and beyond. Exchanges of ideas and a cultural meeting of minds happened as revolutionary jazz festivals took place behind the Iron Curtain. Advances in rhythm and sound where modal jazz and the prophetic music of John Coltrane merged with European folk traditions. This is Spiritual Jazz -- as played by Americans in Europe. All tracks fully licensed and digitally restored from the original master tapes. Artist include: Sahib Shihab & Pierre Cavalli, Johnny Hawksworth & Hampton Hawes, Clarence Peters, Sahib Shihab, Sun Ra, Albert Ayler, Billy Gault, Frank Wright Sextet, Grachan Moncur III, Don Cherry & The New Eternal Rhythm, Lee Konitz, Noah Howard Group, Bobby Hutcherson/Harold Land Sextet, and Eric Dolphy.

When it comes to making available once more lost, forgotten and overlooked soulful masterpieces, Jazzman's expertise is considered second to none. It's all about finding the artists and reconnecting them and the fans to their forgotten history. DJ Fryer has been researching this album of dancefloor soul from the late '70s and early '80s for the last four years, and Jazzman is finally able to present a double LP's worth of rare, obscure, and good dancefloor soul, rare boogie and soulful disco. To top it off, Ashley Beedle and Tom Noble offer up their remixing skills on a couple of tracks that just needed the extra tweak that linear editing prevented back in the day. The endless quest to discover lost, interesting music from the past is something of a calling to many. Record collectors and DJs will go without food and spend all their wages to own a single piece of vinyl. Many will travel around the world to towns and cities you would never choose to visit, happy spending nights in cheap hotels and days in musty old shops looking for that one lucky find, and it does happen, eventually, to all that make the effort. I make no claim to the discovery of any of these records contained here, but I nod my hat to those that did and will again in the future. "I have let good as well as rare music be the narrative on this LP. There are some records here that are relatively affordable and I encourage you to go out and find them on original 45s, and play them. Records should be heard, not archived -- keep the wonderful culture of playing 45s and 12"s alive." --DJ Fryer, December 2012

RB 101EP
|
Two absolute classics from Atlantic's first queen of R&B, the one and only Ruth Brown. "Mambo Baby" rode the mambo craze like few other records could, hooking you right in from the shuffling bass and piano pattern of the opening bars. And when Miss Brown joins in with her typically self-assured, sassy, squealed vocals, any resistance is futile -- this is R&B perfection. As indeed is "5-10-15 Hours" on the flip, one of Brown's signature songs, and another of the finest recordings of the 1950s.

JBJ 1041EP
|
Jimmy McCracklin is a true legend of blues and R&B, beginning his career in the post-war era and thriving through the '50s, recording scores of jump blues and rock 'n' roll classics. "What's That" was recorded during McCracklin's brief spell at Mercury Records in the early '60s, and is based around an infectious bass guitar and horn riff, with complimenting group backing vocals and a swaggering rhythm. "Part Two" on the flip is new to vinyl, meaning the irresistible groove of "What's That" now plays out longer.
