Jazzmatazz by Guru (Rap) (CD - 05/18/1993)
"Jazzmatazz" (05/18/1993) R&B Guru (Rap), Virgin Records (USA)Personnel: Guru (rap vocals); Big Shug, Black Jack, Mickey "Mus Mus," The Cutthroats (vocals); Zachary Breaux (guitar); Gary Barnacle (saxophone, flute); Simon Law (keyboards); DJ Jazzy Nice, DJ Jimmy Jay (scratches); Lil' Dap (drums). Engineers include: Joe Quinde, Craig Marcus, Kieran Walsh. Recorded at D&D Studios, New York, New York. Includes liner notes by Bill Adler. As half of the pioneering duo Gang Starr, Guru can count himself among a select handful of innovators (DJ Jazzy Jeff, Stetsasonic, Native Tongues) who in the late '80s introduced jazz's tonal complexity into the hip-hop universe. It makes a certain amount of sense then, that his solo debut is actually a series of collaborations with various jazz artists. Although retro by design (the packaging makes use of the classic Blue Note graphic style), and regressive in it's violation of hip-hop's "maximum effect/minimum means" law of production values, JAZZMATAZZ nonetheless opened up a space for a progressive interplay between hip-hop and jazz. The man who picked DJ Premier out of a stack of anonymous demos in the Wild Pitch offices hadn't lost his ear for choosing musical conspirators and here he draws on the talents of fusion legends like Roy Ayers and trumpet virtuoso Donald Byrd. Despite their august presence, some of the disc's strongest moments showcase younger artist like Paris-based MC Solaar and his DJ Jimmy Jay (Le Bien Le Mal), Brand New Heavies vocalist N'Dea Davenport on "Trust Me," and Courtney Pine on "Sights in the City."

The Genius Anthology [3/8] *
"The Genius Anthology [Digipak]" (03/08/2005) R&B Charles, Ray, Master ClassicsPersonnel: Ray Charles (vocals, piano); Earl Brown (vocals, alto saxophone); The Raelettes (vocals); Eddie Lang, Oscar Moore, Gossie D. McKee, Mitchell Webb, Louis Speiginer (guitar); Marshal Royal (alto saxophone); Jack McVea, Stanley Turrentine (tenor saxophone); Charles Walter (baritone saxophone); John Buckner, Julius Brooks (trumpet); Johnny Miller, Billy Hadnott, Edgar Willis, Ralph Hamilton, Milton S. Garred (bass instrument); Connie Kay, Milt Turner, Clifton Pitts (drums); Mongo Santamaria (percussion). Recording information: Los Angeles, California; New York, New York; Seattle, Washington (1949 - 1959). Ensemble: The Maxin Trio. Ray Charles created such a huge body of innovative, genre-blending work over his 50-plus-year career that it is easy to forget about his earliest recordings. THE GENIUS ANTHOLOGY collects 20 tracks from the legendary performer's first ten years (1949-1959). Charles originally modeled his singing and playing style on Nat "King" Cole, and songs like "A Sentimental Blues" and "Don't Put All Your Dreams in One Basket" are smooth, nightclub ballads on the order of Cole. Accompanied by stand-up bass and mellow electric guitar (adding horns for some tunes, including "Late in the Evening Blues"), Charles croons softly in a way that seems restrained and tame compared to his material in the later '50s. However, as early as 1951's "Kissa Me Baby," the raw, soulful vocal delivery that would become Charles's trademark is already in evidence. The songs begin to swing harder, and Charles's approach to phrasing and timbre loosen up considerably, incorporating gospel inflections and an improvisational flair. The punchy, bopping "Heartbreaker" shows the artist moving into his mature style, while the set's last four tracks--taken from 1958 and 1959--are classic, indispensable Charles. The wildly exuberant "What'd I Say" (Charles's watershed single and still one of his finest moments) is an appropriate ending to this dynamic, satisfying portrait of an artist discovering his voice and style.

Genius Loves Company [Digipak] by Ray Charles (CD - 08/31/2004)
"Genius Loves Company [Digipak]" (08/31/2004) R&B Charles, Ray, Concord Records (USA)This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. Personnel include: Ray Charles (vocals, piano); B.B. King, Willie Nelson (vocals, guitar); Bonnie Raitt (vocals, slide guitar); Norah Jones (vocals, piano); Michael McDonald (vocals, keyboards); Diana Krall, Elton John, James Taylor , Johnny Mathis, Van Morrison, Natalie Cole, Gladys Knight (vocals); Danny Jacob, George Marinelli, Jeff Mironov, Michael Landau, Michael Thompson , George Doering, Charles Fearing, Irv Kramer (guitar); Randy Waldman (piano, keyboards); Alan Pasqua (piano); Billy Preston (Hammond b-3 organ); Michael Beardon (keyboards); David Hayes, Abraham Laboriel, Trey Henry, Tom Fowler (bass guitar); James Gadson, Jim Keltner, Ray Brinker, Shawn Pelton (drums); Bashiri Johnson (percussion). Recording information: 2003. Though Ray Charles, one of the greatest singers of the 20th century, was never in need of vocal assistance, he was no stranger to duets either (one of his finest records is a duet album with Betty Carter). For as much of a musical giant as he was, Brother Ray knew how to share the spotlight, as evidenced by GENIUS LOVES COMPANY, his final project before his 2004 passing. In keeping with the eclectic nature of Charles's artistry, he partners with a wide assortment of performers here. Charles is joined by Elton John on a soulful exploration of the latter's "Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word," and sidles up next to Willie Nelson for a haunting version of the Frank Sinatra hit "It Was a Very Good Year," made all the more poignant in retrospect by its posthumous nature. Of course, it's not all bittersweet melancholy; Charles teams with Van Morrison for a jubilant soul/gospel reading of Van's MOONDANCE tune "Crazy Love," and the duet with James Taylor on the upbeat "Sweet Potato Pie" is probably the sassiest, perkiest thing in which Taylor's ever been involved. GENIUS LOVES COMPANY is a swan song that fittingly finds the titular genius surrounded by friends from varied musical worlds, all of whom he's touched with his rare gift.

"Jazz Moods: Hot" (04/19/2005) R&B Phillips, Esther, Legacy RecordingsEsther Phillips moved around from label to label and from style to style throughout most of the 1950s and '60s. After signing with the Kudu label in the early '70s, Phillips released three albums that are among the finest in her catalogue. Jazzy, funky R&B arrangements complete with horns, light strings, and Fender Rhodes, and smoothly grooving rhythm sections provide context for Phillip's distinctive vocals, which sound both thin and rich, smooth and gritty at once. The Phillips entry in the JAZZ MOODS series collects the best tracks from the singer's Kudu output. From the smoldering cover of Eddie Floyd's "'Til My Back Ain't Got No Bone" to the drowsy blues of Duke Ellington's "I Got It Bad and That Ain't Good," Phillips is in fine voice here, and the musicians on hand lend superb support. Her disco-inflected version of "What a Difference a Day Makes" turns Dinah Washington's version on its head, her rendition of "Use Me" smoothes out the slinky funk of Bill Withers's original, and her impassioned interpretation of Gil Scott-Heron's "Home Is Where the Hatred Is" is near-perfect. These recordings are classic early-'70s soul: sophisticated, earthy, and as compelling today as when they were released.

Emergency on Planet Earth by Jamiroquai (CD - 08/10/1993)
"Emergency on Planet Earth" (08/10/1993) R&B Jamiroquai, Columbia (USA)Personnel: Jay Kay (vocals); Glenn Nightingale, Gavin Dodds, Simon Bartholomew (guitar); Reggae Philharmonic Orchestra (strings); Mike Smith, Gary Barnacie (flute, saxophone); Wallis Buchanan (didjeridoo); John Thirkell (trumpet); Richard Edwards (trombone); Toby Smith (keyboards); Stuart Zender, Andrew Levy (bass); Nick Van Gelder (drums); Kofi Kari Kari, Maurizio (percussion); D.J. Zire (DJ); Linda Lewis, Vanessa Simon (background vocals). Includes liner notes by Jay Kay. Jamiroquai's debut brings together a utopian worldview, funky '70s R&B influences and the liberated sensibility of England's burgeoning acid-jazz movement. The band, led by singer Jason "Jay" Kay, rides a funky groove while spreading a message of peace, love and environmental conscientiousness. The results of this meeting of heart and head range from Brazilian-flavored instrumentals like "Music Of The Mind" to to songs like "If I Like It, I Do It," on which yesterday's jazzy soul is spun around on today's hip-hoppy turntables. Jamiroquai also flexes its improvisational muscle on two songs that clock in at over eight minutes. On "Blow Your Mind," Kay scats like George Benson, and the band captures the funky flow of "Summer Madness"-era Kool & The Gang. "Revolution 1993" is a 10-minute vamp on self-determination, featuring an Afro-Caribbean rhythm, Herbie Mann-inspired flute, a raging Moog synthesizer and the darting strings of the Reggae Philharmonic Orchestra.

20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection: The Best of the Neville Brothers by The Neville Bro
"20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection: The Best of the Neville Brothers" (06/08/2004) R&B Neville Brothers (The), ChroniclesLiner Note Author: Bill Dahl. Art, Aaron, Charles, and Cyril Neville, the Big Easy's indispensable musical family, have been going strong as a group since the late 1970s (and individually since the '50s and '60s). The band's output is notoriously wide-ranging and eclectic, often encompassing soul, rock, country, funk, and traditional New Orleans festival music, sometimes all at once. This 12-track BEST OF is a taste of the Neville Brothers' aesthetic, and includes some of their finest studio moments. The disc begins with three songs from the Nevilles' '81 classic FIYO ON THE BAYOU-- the relentlessly funky title track, the instantly recognizable "Brother John/Iko Iko" (one of New Orleans's unofficial theme songs), and an updated take on the Meters' "Hey Pocky Way." (Art and Cyril were both members of the Meters in the '60s and '70s.) A handful of additional covers, including Steve Miller's "Fly Like an Eagle" and Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come" (on which Aaron's gorgeous, angelic tenor soars), are peppered in among originals. Sophisticated, celebratory, and soulful, the Nevilles Brothers' music is unique, and this compilation is a fine introduction.

The Very Best of the Meters by The Meters (CD - 06/10/1997)
"The Very Best of the Meters" (06/10/1997) R&B Meters (The), Rhino Records (USA)The Meters: Leo Nocentelli (guitar); Art Neville (keyboards); George Porter, Jr. (bass); Joseph "Zigaboo" Modeliste (drums). Producers include: Allen Toussaint. Recorded between 1969 and 1976. Includes liner notes by Don Snowden. In the late '60s, New Orleans' The Meters became one of the main purveyors of the gritty, urban funk that would come to dominate 1970's black music. After working together as a session band, guitarist Leo Nocentelli, bassist George Porter Jr., drummer Zigaboo Modeliste and keyboardist Art Neville began to release soulful, instrumental party records in the marketable mould of Booker T. and the MG's. But The Meters' catchy, wicked licks, fiery rhythmic interplay and general hard-hitting pulse gave birth to an utterly new, influential sound. Though the band would go on to refine their sound on Reprise discs such as REJUVENATION and CABBAGE ALLEY, their earliest releases are no less compelling. THE VERY BEST OF compiles some of the band's most irresistible jams from 1968 to 1976, a period which saw the creation of such classics as "Cissy Strut," "Look-Ka Py Py," both included here. The primitive production only enhances the rhythm section's in-the-pocket punch, and Art Neville's swirling organ. This is a funk blueprint--tight, rhythmic, straight-up good time music in the finest New Orleans tradition.

Memorial Album by Johnny Ace (50's) (CD - 10/17/1990)
"Memorial Album" (10/17/1990) R&B Ace, Johnny (50's), MCA Records (USA)Includes liner notes by Dzondria Laisac. This tribute to the influential (ask Paul Simon, who memorialized him in "The Late, Great Johnny Ace") R&B balladeer was originally released in 1957, three years after he (allegedly) accidentally killed himself playing Russian Roulette. It's an improvement on the abbreviated eight-song 10-inch LP version that came out in 1955, but sadly, it doesn't collect all of Ace's recordings (he had three other singles) and it stints on the harder, rock & roll numbers that appeared on his b-sides. Nevertheless, this is a fine introduction to a seminal artist, and it proves that there was more to him--a lot more--than his best-known hit, the often-covered "Pledging My Love."

"Rockin' in Rhythm: The Best of Ruth Brown" (06/18/1996) R&B Brown, Ruth, Rhino Records (USA)Personnel includes: Ruth Brown, Clyde McPhatter (vocals); Howard Biggs (conductor); King Curtis (saxophone); Joe Bushkin (piano); Budd Johnson's Orchestra, Eddie Condon's N.B.C. Television Orchestra. Producers: Ahmet Ertegun, Herb Abramson, Jerry Wexler, Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller. Compilation producers: James Austin, Peter Grendysa. Recorded in New York City, New York between May 25, 1949 and March 7, 1959; Los Angeles, California on March 2, 1956; and live at Herndon Stadium, Atlanta, Georgia in May 1959. Includes liner notes by Peter A. Grendysa. ROCKIN' IN RHYTHM: THE BEST OF RUTH BROWN is an excellent one-CD overview of Brown's work for Atlantic Records between 1949 and 1959. Not all the hits are here, of course; Brown had so many that Atlantic was often referred to as "The House that Ruth Built." What you'll find on ROCKIN' IN RHYTHM, however, is indisputably choice Brown, including such signature tunes as "Mama, He Treats Your Daughter Mean" and "5-10-15 Hours." You'll also find two fascinating, previously unreleased live tracks from an Atlanta show in '59. The sound on these recordings is surprisingly good. It's so well recorded, in fact, that you'll quickly be able to single out the band member playing on "Oh What a Dream" under the influence of controlled substances. Anyone with an appetite for yet more Brown is advised to check out the two-CD MISS RHYTHM: GREATEST HITS AND MORE.

The Meters by The Meters (CD - 11/23/1999)
"The Meters" (11/23/1999) R&B Meters (The), Sundazed Music Inc.Producers: Allen Toussaint, Marshall Sehorn. Initially created to be the house band for Allen Toussaint and Marhsall Sehonr's Sansu Enterprises, the Meters started out backing such famous names as Lee Dorsey and Betty Harris. Led by organist Art Neville, the quartet was rounded out by jazz-influenced guitarist Leo Nocentelli along with the bubbling rhythm section of bassist George Porter, Jr. and drummer Joseph "Zigaboo" Modeliste. Booker T. & The MGs may have been the most obvious influence, but the Meters differentiated themselves by injecting a healthy dose of New Orleans funk into their sound. Led by Neville's fat-sounding organ, the Meters quickly scored hits with the sinewy "Cissy Strut" and the more languid "Sophisticated Cissy." Simplicity is the hallmark of this impressive debut and nuance is paramount, whether it's Nocentelli's lazy riffs echoing throughout "Ease Back" or Modeliste unobtrusively riding his hi-hat along the perimeter of the Memphis-fried "6V6 La." Not unlike the MGs, the Meters were masters of interpretation. The band here moves easily from a chugging reading of Sly Stone's "Sing a Simple Song," to kicking back on a smoky version of the Classics IV's "Stormy," to gently delivering the previously unreleased nugget "The Look of Love."

Creole Moon by Dr. John (CD - 10/09/2001)
"Creole Moon" (10/09/2001) R&B John, Dr., Blue Note Records (USA)Personnel includes: Dr. John (vocals, piano, Hammond B-3 organ, programming); Renard Poche (guitar, background vocals); Sonny Landreth (slide guitar); Michael Doucet (fiddle); Charley Miller (flute, trumpet); Theodore Arthur, Jr. (soprano & alto saxophone); Eric Traub (tenor saxophone); Alonzo Bowens (baritone saxophone); Kevin Louis (trumpet); David Barad (bass, background vocals); Herman "Roscoe" Ernest III (drums, percussion, background vocals). Recorded at Dockside Studios, Maurice, Louisiana. Includes liner notes by Dr. John. CREOLE MOON was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album. Following a string of albums that found Dr. John variously saluting Duke Ellington, tackling standards, and surrounding himself with British rock stars, the Crescent City king got back to home truths with CREOLE MOON. Throughout the album, Dr. John and his Big Easy compatriots serve up the kind of greasy, groove-heavy New Orleans-style R&B that first made the artist formerly known as Mac Rebbenack a success in the 1970s. Everyone from slide guitar hero Sonny Landreth to James Brown cohort Fred Wesley pops up to add bluesy grit and/or funky drive, but the steamy, percolating feel perpetuated throughout CREOLE MOON ultimately evokes the undiluted essence of Dr. John.

In addition to being backed by top-notch session players, Adams is joined on a few tunes by fellow New Orleans native Dr. John, who contributes his typically slinky piano lines.

Junco Partner by James Booker (CD - 02/09/1993)
"Junco Partner" (02/09/1993) R&B Booker, James, HannibalSolo performer: James Booker (vocals, piano). Recorded at Sea-Saint Studio, New Orleans, Louisiana in February 1976. Includes liner notes by Joe Boyd, James Booker & George Winston. Though late New Orleans genius James Booker belongs to a lineage of the city's ivory ticklers that includes Jelly Roll Morton, Tuts Washington and Professor Longhair, his oddball musical approach, and his unique blend of classical, R&B, barrelhouse boogie, and jazz, almost requires its own musicological category. On this 1976 release, the artist's first full solo recording, Booker veers from treatments of Chopin ("Black Minute Waltz") to standards ("Sunny Side of the Street") to marvelously revamped versions of "Good Night Irene," "Junco Partner" and "Pop's Dilemma" (a song written by Booker's father) with a skill that flat-out astonishes. Booker's technical facility, and the ease and energy in his marriage of different styles, gives his performances an almost palpable electricity. On cuts such as "Pixie," the pianist reveals his stride playing skills, his right hand ranging over ringing melodies as his left pounds out bass lines--the whole sounding like several pianists playing simultaneously. In addition to his formidable wizardry at the keys, Booker's textured, gospel-inflected tenor lends color to many cuts (the joyful "Make a Better World" is one of the highlights here). JUNCO PARTNER is the definitive document of this Big Easy secret.

Additional personnel: Jennifer Ismail, Mica Paris (vocals); Johnny T, Ivan Hussey, Laura Cochrane, Anya Ulman (strings); Chicu Modu (saxophone); Kickhorns (brass); James Hallawell (organ); Matthew Seligman, Paul O'Kane (bass). Recorded at Workhouse Studios, London, England. Samples include "Let Me [Let Me Be Your Lover]" (Jimmie "Bo" Borne), "Bite Your Granny" (Morning, Noon & Night), "Passarinho" (Gal Costa), "Love Doll" (Ray Jay and the Eastsiders). CONNECTED is the third release from the Stereo MC's, a London trio of remixers who ferment their unique blend of rap, R&B and dance music with a healthy blend of European techno, dub and cool jazz, putting them in the vanguard of the music's new wave along with such irrefutably hip hoppers as Digable Planets. Augmented by the vocal trio of Cath Coffey, Verona Davis and Andrea Groves, CONNECTED is a brave new vision of dance music, as illustrated by the sultry title track, with its swampy rhythmic underpinning, '60s soul jazz punctuations, beefy bass line and its incantory chants, urging on the dancers to greater self-expression, personal responsibility and intellectual curiosity. These social themes run through CONNECTED, augmented by the type of hip Afro funk-jazz mix that distinguished early archetypes of this rap style such as Gil-Scott Heron.

Resurrection of the Bayou Maharajah: Recorded Live at the Maple Leaf Bar by James Booker (CD - 08/01
"Resurrection of the Bayou Maharajah: Recorded Live at the Maple Leaf Bar" (08/01/1993) R&B Booker, James, Rounder RecordsSolo performer: James Booker (vocals, piano). Recorded at the Maple Leaf Bar, New Orleans, Louisiana between 1977 & 1982. Includes liner notes by Earl King, Jeff Hannusch, Ricky Castrillo, Harry Connick Jr., Thorny Penfield, Michael Goodwin, Scott Billington and John Parsons. Recorded at the historic Maple Leaf Bar in New Orleans, this live set finds legendary Crescent City pianist James Booker playing for his fans on his home turf. He's in excellent form. Like his musical ancestors Jelly Roll Morton, Tuts Washington, and Professor Longhair, Booker is steeped in both classical and blues-based traditions, drawing on ragtime and boogie-woogie styles with a rhythmically inventive and wildly improvisatory spirit. The opening piece, a stomping medley of "Slow Down/Bony Maronie/Knock on Wood/I Heard it Through the Grapevine/Classified," showcases Booker's exuberant concert persona and his keening, soulful vocals, while the album's highlight is the medley "Tico Tico/Papa Was a Rascal," with its closing motif of ornamental classically influenced embellishments. Elsewhere, Booker performs New Orleans classics such as "St. James Infirmary," "Junco Partner," and the Fats Domino hit "All By Myself" with his own inimitable keyboard transformations. Booker's wide-ranging influences and styles, his astonishing piano skill, and his passion as a performer are all combined on RESURRECTION OF THE BAYOU MAHARAJAH.

Spiders on the Keys: Recorded Live at the Maple Leaf Bar by James Booker (CD - 09/15/1993)
"Spiders on the Keys: Recorded Live at the Maple Leaf Bar" (09/15/1993) R&B Booker, James, Rounder RecordsSolo performer: James Booker (piano). Recorded at the Maple Leaf Bar, New Orleans, Louisiana between 1977 & 1982. Includes liner notes by Earl King, Jeff Hannusch, Ricky Castrillo, Harry Connick Jr. and Thorny Penfield. The late James Booker was a great, unsung American musical treasure. Like his New Orleans piano ancestors Jelly Roll Morton, Tuts Washington, and Professor Longhair, Booker was steeped in both classical and blues-based traditions, working primarily in ragtime and boogie-woogie styles with a bold, improvisatory spirit. His ability to switch between or fuse classical, blues, jazz, and gutbucket R&B never ceases to astonish. Like its companion album RESURRECTION OF THE BAYOU MAHARAJAH, this outstanding set was recorded at New Orleans' historic Maple Leaf Bar in 1993; however, SPIDER is wholly instrumental. But Booker's keyboard mastery is more than enough to carry the album, whether on treatments of "Papa Was a Rascal," "Besame Mucho," or "Over the Rainbow." Rolling barrelhouse boogie is Booker's forte, yet the inventiveness of his left/right interaction, his florid embellishments, and his bluesy left hand rolls and bass lines transcend genre. While Booker strides on cuts such as "Gonzo's Blue Dream," he can turn around and perform classically influenced minuets, ballads of orchestral complexity, or a mixture of numerous styles, as on his self-penned tour de force "Piano Salad." This disc is a welcome addition to James Booker's recorded legacy.

"The Ultimate Chi-Lites" (05/02/2006) R&B Chi-Lites (The), BrunswickThe title of the superb two-disc compilation ULTIMATE CHI-LITES is not an exaggeration. Included are 35 tracks by the Chicago-based soul outfit known for everything from psychedelic groovers to protest songs to smooth love ballads. Featured here are the group's biggest hits, including "Oh, Girl," "(For God's Sake) Give More Power to the People," and "Are You My Woman (Tell Me So)" (featuring a horn lick lifted decades later for Beyonce's "Crazy in Love"), and a host of equally strong, lesser-known tracks. This is the best one-stop bet for those interested in checking out one of the finest psychedelic soul acts of the late-'60s and '70s.

As one of the key architects of soul, Wilson had an inestimable impact on the genre, and the dynamic performing style that earned him the nickname Mr. Excitement--combined with his elastic tenor--comes across on each of these 44 tracks. The Wilson classics "Lonely Teardrops" and "Reet Petite" kick off disc one, while the immaculate "Higher & Higher (Your Love Keeps Lifting Me)" begins disc two, and his many renditions of standards ("Georgia On My Mind") and popular songs of the day ("Light My Fire") are also included. For an economical and comprehensive introduction to this soul great, it's hard to beat THE ULTIMATE JACKIE WILSON.

The Classic Aaron Neville: My Greatest Gift by Aaron Neville (CD - 07/18/1990)
"The Classic Aaron Neville: My Greatest Gift" (07/18/1990) R&B Neville, Aaron, Rounder RecordsThough R&B crooner Aaron Neville is best known for his work with the Neville Brothers and his solo recordings from the 1990s, he cut some excellent solo sides in the late '60s and early '70s. This 12-track disc collects the finest of those songs, and is a dazzling showcase for Neville's prodigious talents and for Allen Toussaint, who arranged and produced the album (and contributed several original compositions). This is classic post-'50s New Orleans music--a blend of gospel, roots rock & roll, lean funk, stirring soul, and native Creole rhythms. Ears uninitiated to Neville's sweet, vibrato-rich tenor will be stunned--his is one of the purest, most lilting soul voices ever put to tape. Neville and Toussaint's collaboration, additionally, is a winning one, as shown by the laid-back strut of "Hercules," the smooth gospel/soul of "You Can Give But You Can't Take," and the unbelievably beautiful "Tell It Like It Is" (a signature tune for Neville). MY GREATEST GIFT is a good selection of Aaron Neville's lesser-known work, and an excellent place to sample this singer in particular and the New Orleans sound in general.

Return Of The Space Cowboy by Jamiroquai (CD - 05/09/1995)
"Return Of The Space Cowboy" (05/09/1995) R&B Jamiroquai, Columbia (USA)Jamiroquai includes: Jay (vocals); Toby Smith (keyboards); Wallis (vibraphone); Stuart Zender (bass); Derrick McKenzie (drums). Following up a debut, EMERGENCY ON PLANET EARTH, that bubbled over with soul, funk and outrageous acid-jazz rhythms, RETURN OF THE SPACE COWBOY brings the tempo down a notch, without losing any of its funky musical edge (or any of its idealistic lyrical flow). Singer Jason "Jay" Kay's vocals maintain the smooth manner of Stevie Wonder and Al Green, as demonstrated on "Stillness In Time," which evokes the Brazilian grooves of Antonio Carlos Jobim, and on the quiet-storm-like title track. Wallis Buchanan's didgeridoo, a Jamiroquai trademark, returns particularly strongly on "Journey To Arnhemland," which sounds like the theme from an Aboriginal blaxploitation flick. Lest this become a totally low-key affair, a handful of tracks guarantee Jamiroquai isn't faking the funk. "The Kids" opens up the band's sound with greasy wah-wah guitar, punchy horns and a bouncy Moog syunthesizer. Live and studio versions of "Light Years" mix in equal amounts Parliament-Funkadelic and Earth, Wind & Fire, guaranteeing hours of head-bopping and toe-tapping.

The band knows its jazz and funk history inside out, and on cuts like the percolating Latin groove of "Mambomongo" and the sinuous Afrobeat of "6 For Fred," it proves it has the chops to back up its revelatory musical archaeology.

Recording information: Capitol Studios, Hollywood, California. While many jazz singers chase the ghosts of yesteryear revisiting the same vocal standards again and again, Cassandra Wilson has chosen a different path. She retains her fluid, smoky, and sometimes throaty phrasing, but paints with a more expansive palette. THUNDERBIRD finds Wilson digging still deeper into American blues and folk traditions while producer T. Bone Burnett frames her voice with spacious production, highlighting acoustic and electric guitars, percussion, and judiciously sampled rhythms. The songs, a mix of originals and thoughtfully chosen covers--from the contemporary (Jacob Dylan's "Closer To You") to the ages-old ("Red River Valley")--are driven not so much by swing as by the innately compelling sway of Wilson's voice.

Very Best Of Jackie Wilson
"Very Best of Jackie Wilson" (10/02/1989) R&B Wilson, Jackie, Ace Records (UK)A fine alternative to Rhino's compilation of the same name, British label Ace's THE VERY BEST OF JACKIE WILSON is true to its title, from the swinging, post-doo wop exuberance of 1957's "Reet Petite (The Finest Girl You Ever Want to Meet)" to the orchestrated deep soul of 1971's "Love is Funny That Way." All of Wilson's best-known cuts are here, including the string-sweetened ballad "Night," the driving, dance floor summons "Baby Workout," and Wilson's excellent 1967 version of Gary Jackson's "Your Love Keeps Lifting Me Higher and Higher." Here too, of course, is Wilson's signature song "Lonely Teardrops," an impassioned, yearning slice of pop perfection (ironically, Wilson suffered a heart attack while performing the song on Dick Clark's Oldies show in 1975). Wilson's particular skill was blending an R&B edge with pop accessibility, and his supple, soaring tenor was well suited to ballads, mid-tempo shuffles, and sweaty, high-octane rave-ups alike. At 24 tracks, Ace's compilation gives fine samples of each, and differs from the Rhino set only in its inclusion of more cuts from Wilson's later career. It makes a convincing case for Wilson as one of the most dynamic, talented, and memorable performers of the era.
