If any of the commercial labels like OKeh or Paramount had discovered Mississippi Fred McDowell back in the 1920s or 1930s when they were busy putting out 78s by the likes of Charley Patton, Son House, Robert Johnson, and Skip James, he very well might be thought of today as the absolute best of the old Delta and country blues players. His slide tone was as pure, or purer, than any of them, and they were indeed his contemporaries (Robert Johnson was actually seven years his junior), but McDowell had to wait for Alan Lomax to visit Como, Mississippi in 1959 to be discovered. Over the next decade McDowell distinguished himself as a master of the country blues (and country gospel) medium, delivering performance after performance of emotionally balanced versions of the old Delta catalog and turning in breathtaking slide work on both acoustic and electric guitar. This set, which features McDowell alone on guitar with background vocals by Annie Mae McDowell, Fannie Davis, Grace Bowden, and James Collins, is drawn from recordings made by Pete Welding between 1963 and 1968 for Welding's Testament Records imprint.

The successful Mod Jazz Series that has not only invented and codified a sound, it has made it popular. Jazz that is accessible, touching on its blues, soul and latin influences while always having a danceable beat. It includes the super-rare, the well known and the previously unreleased.

TWISTED:
THE BEST OF LAMBERT HENDRICKS & ROSS
Origial Recordings 1957-1961
RHINO - 1992
http://www22.zippyshare.com/v/87154080/file.html
Along with King Pleasure and Eddie Jefferson, LH&R spearheaded the "vocalese" movement in jazz, wherein human voices phrased like--and often directly copped--classic horn solos and band arrangements. Though the star was Annie Ross, whose icy-smooth soprano was matched by her feisty natural presence, her voice blended together with Dave Lambert's and Jon Hendricks' as though the three were of a single mind. They pulled off difficult section harmonies and complex arrangements with apparent ease. Whether interpreting such standards as "Every Day I Have the Blues," "Caravan" and "Going to Chicago" or tackling such vibrant originals as "Twisted," Doodlin' " and "Farmer's Market," the trio was consistently elegant and exciting, capturing the essence of the bohemian/intellectual Beat era and defining vocalese methodology. The modern-day Manhattan Transfer has attempted to revive the LH&R formula in a current context and has met with not a little commercial success, but its studied, stilted efforts fail to approach the easy cool and tenacious brilliance of these recordings. It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing! -- LA Times 10/23/1993

Great post. Thank you Jillem and RYP!
Jillem - You need this collection:
Tompkins Square To Release 'When I Reach That Heavenly Shore : Unearthly Black Gospel, 1926-1936' 3CD/3LP Set, DECEMBER 9th, 2014
Produced by 7-Time Grammy nominee Christopher King.
Among the most powerful music to be captured on 78 rpm in America during the 1920s & 1930s are those recordings of black sanctified and gospel singing. Ranging from plaintive mourning to unbridled ecstasy, the sacred music from this time period represents a flowering of diverse and idiosyncratic rural songs styles. At no time was there a wider panorama of religious songs in America.
Selected exclusively from Christopher King's private collection, the 78s included here represent the most unhinged, the most compelling survey of pre-war black gospel. Of the 42 tracks in this 3CD/3LP collection, 34 have never been reissued until now. The complete recorded output of the Primitive Baptist Choir of North Carolina is also included in this collection for the first time. Several rare & previously unissued photographs are also contained within. Lovingly and respectfully designed by Susan Archie and firmly grounded in Scripture by Christopher King.
Tompkins Square has been steadily mining the history of black gospel through previous collections - the Grammy-nominated 'He Is My Story : The Sanctified Soul of Arizona Dranes'; 'Fire In My Bones : Raw, Rare & Otherworldly African-American Gospel, 1944-2007'; 'This May Be My Last Time Singing : Raw African-American Gospel on 45RPM, 1957-1982' ; Bessie Jones - 'Get In Union'; and 'I Heard The Angels Singing : Electrifying Black Gospel from the Nashboro Label, 1951-1983'.

Thanks Jillem, this serie is fantastic, I bought 3 of these, and I was missing vol. 2, 3 & 4. Thanks again
So. Much. Gratitude.
For these offerings,
and so many others I've grabbed.
Thanks for the tip Gyro,
Anyone can dust off an old record, but for Faber resident Christopher King, the work doesn't stop there– in fact, that's where it all begins.

Bessie Jones' - 'Get In Union' slipped my attention.
What to say about this!
Best of Revelation Records, 1959-1962
http://blackgrooves.org/best-of-revelation-records-1959-1962/
Jillem - I bought the best of Revelation Records a few weeks ago. Of course it's still in shrink wrap, like so much of my purchases. Hopefully I'll get to it soon. Thanks for the info on Chris King. I've seen the Bessie Jones advertised, yet I haven't looked into it yet.

Thanks for the Mod Jazz comps. Very nicely done -- I've got a lot of the tracks, but the sequencing is superb. Another great post!
Thank you again Jillem!!
Big thanks to you, Jillem!
Everyone should listen to Fred Mcdowell. Thank You.
I just happened upon your blog recently while searching for something and I've really enjoyed the music I found here.
I'm still learning my way around on it but I've found three posting that I was only able to get parts of.
Jukebox Jam, I could only get Vol-1
DooTone Records Vol 3 had only a front cover and a text file.
Roy Orbison - Problem Child I could only get the first Part.
I've found two that I could not unzip/unrar to a file folder.
Bo Did It 19.
Surf Legends & Rumors.
Question: Is it possible to do a search for specific files?
Wayne
