21-track compilation of white folk blues from the early and mid-'60s, originally recorded for Prestige. Some of the top talents of that mini-genre are represented here, including Dave Van Ronk, Tom Rush, Geoff Muldaur, Tracy Nelson, Eric Von Schmidt, and Danny Kalb. This music certainly played its role in bringing the blues to a wider audience. (Richie Unterberger, All-Music Guide)

RY COODER - Jazz (1978 @320)
http://www8.zippyshare.com/v/35981283/file.html
Beginning with his self-titled debut in 1970, Ry Cooder's records seemed to be as much history lesson as they were entertainment. Not because Cooder was trying to club you over the head with this stuff; he simply gravitated to great songs, no matter what the era or genre. Released in 1978, Jazz seems to be his first conscious attempt at a concept album, in the historical sense. Here he pays homage to some of the early tunes and masters of jazz, ranging from the late 1800s through the "coon songs" of the early part of the next century, to the ragtime and "Spanish" music of Jelly Roll Morton, and the sophistication of cornetist Bix Beiderbecke. The only living artist (at the time of release) who's represented here is the great Bahamian guitarist Joseph Spence, who recorded from the '50s through the '80s, and whose syncopated style was extremely influential in Cooder's own development as a guitarist. Spence's sacred songs are presented here in string and brass band arrangements that emphasize the Caribbean connection between his music and Morton's habaniera pieces. The complexity of the material on Jazz, as well as the arrangements by Joseph Byrd, dictate that this is Cooder's most polished and orchestrated effort to date. Whereas in the past, even at their most removed, Cooder's records usually kept at least one foot in rock & roll or blues, Jazz can, at times, lack some of that fire and be almost bookish in its approach. Still, there is enough excitement in the music's intricacies and Cooder's beautiful, fluid playing to forgive the politeness of some of the performances. From the informative liner notes by Ry Cooder himself to the brilliant compositions, Jazz is, at the very least, educational. But, a little time spent with this music and you'll see why it was and continues to be relevant, as well as beloved. (Allmusic)
Beautiful timepieces from the era of Bix Beiderbecke and Jelly Roll Morton. If this were Ry Cooder's only recording he would be legendary, but fortunately for us, Ry spends his life discovering and sharing timeless musical treasures. One of Ry's most accessable excursions into realms forgotten or obscure, Jazz' highlights are, 'Big Bad Bill', 'The Pearls/Tia Juana', 'The Dream' with Earl 'Fatha' Hines on piano, 'Flashes', 'Shine', and 'Nobody', not to slight the other fine tracks here. A thoroughly enjoyable album of Jazz Americana with a cast of peerless players. (Roots Magazine)

Thank you & thank you!
Thanks
It's nice that you're getting all this Ry Cooder material out there, on the off chance that some of the people getting it haven't heard it before, because it's pure treasure. Any kid who has to study American history should be issued these albums along with the textbook. And JAZZ is one of the finest albums of them all. It's understated, and my own response to it back in 1978 was subdued. I was still living in louder rockier times, and even within the confines of the Cooder territory I had already moved into, this album sounded a lot different. Gone was the overdriven Joseph Spence/Yank Rachel kind of sound, and in its place there was a new kind of stately testimonial...Cooder had humbly stepped back into the shadows at the back of the stage while respectfully shining the spolights on Bix Beiderbecke and Jelly Roll Morton...and he even brought in one of the few last living and great exponents of the beginnings of jazz music to be in the band: Earl 'Fatha' Hines! The whole band on JAZZ is probably one of the finest assembled since that kind of music first came into the world, and it's so refined and quiet. It's like great design. You don't see it. What a masterpiece.
Thanks for Ry and for the Thurston Howlers, guys. More fun than the mind can take in at one time.
Iggy
Thank You.
