The Pretty Things - Pretty Things / Get the Picture
2-disc set comprising two barnstorming original R&B albums from 1965 by the bad boys of British beat. Also features 12 bonus cuts including Rosalyn and Midnight To Six Man.
The Pretty Things created some of the most exciting and innovative records of the mid to late sixties and early seventies. The band were recently awarded the Hero award at the Mojo Honours and the band have been name checked over the years by an array of artists ranging from The Clash, David Bowie and Aerosmith through to The Libertines and Kasabian. The band first burst onto the scene in 1965 and this 2CD set collects their first two albums of raw, explosive R&B. The band's self-titled debut, which mixed raucous covers of blues favourites along with original tracks, reached number 6 in the UK charts. The follow up, Get The Picture, was released later the same year and reflected the band's new found song writing confidence as well as the soul and mod sounds that were influencing the band at the time. The set also features the singles and b-sides that the band released around the albums including their breakthrough single Don't Bring Me Down and the controversial L.S.D. It comes packaged in a rigid digibook with re-worked artwork and new liner notes written by the respected journalist Pierre Perrone and band member Dick Taylor.

Black Fire! New Spirits! Radical and Revolutionary Jazz In The USA 1957-1982 (2014) @320
This double-disc set is the companion soundtrack to Soul Jazz's book of the same name. It documents 14 wide-ranging tracks by well-known foundational artists and those who followed the New Thing path to other realms during a fertile period during and after the Civil Rights Era. Soul Jazz has always done an admirable job both in curation and presentation. Here, the feel is less consciously outside and more global and spacious. Among the many highlights is the inclusion of Yusef Lateef's "Chang, Chang, Chang" from 1957's fantastic Before Dawn. It's a beautiful and poetic place to begin Dr. Lateef's journey from the very beginning; Dr. Lateef sought to combine the music of the East with modern sounds. Don Cherry's "Utopia and Visions," from 1973, is another excellent pick because of its complete integration of post-'60s modal and improvisational jazz with global traditions. Likewise, Grachan Moncur III's collaboration with the Jazz Composer's Orchestra seamlessly melds Latin and South African jazz to Nigerian highlife. "In the Moog" by Harold McKinney & the Creative Profile off Detroit's Tribe Records in 1974 is deeply funky, an all too brief insight into how Detroit was not only crossing musical boundaries and integrating various traditions, but was also completely unique in doing so. And speaking of funk, the inclusion of Richard Davis' "Dealin'," from his 1974 Muse album of the same name, is stellar. Archie Shepp and Jeanne Lee's "Blasé" melds everything from modal blues to moaning gospel. Lloyd McNeill and Marshall Hawkins' "The Banjo Lesson" is an exercise in chamber meets folk meets spiritual jazz. It's haunting, spare, and beautiful. The swinging pan-African post-bop of the Creative Arts Ensemble -- with Kaeef Ruzadun on piano, Gary Bias on saxophone, George Bohannon on trombone, and Henry Franklin on bass, is on full display in "Flashback of Time" from 1981. The big surprise here is the inclusion of Tyrone Washington's fantastic "Universal Spiritual Revolt," which is a joyous groove revolution with the saxophonist playing several instruments accompanied by Rene McLean, Idris Muhammad, and Hubert Eaves III, among others. Even Doug Hammond's texturally and harmonically brilliant "Spaces and Things," which is the most outside thing here, follows along rhythmic lines -- albeit labyrinthine ones. While this set is more for the newcomer than the seasoned collector, it is a hell of a mix and can be thoroughly enjoyed with or without the book.

Robert Nighthawk/Houston Stackhouse (1964-1967) (Testament) @320
This is an excellent CD for anyone with any interest in the slide guitar. It features Robert Night Hawk (he himself spelled his name as two words) in some extraordinarily fine slide performances. Night Hawk was recorded doing Sweet Black Angel five times. This version, with the notes delicately shimmering off the strings, is perhaps his best, along with the classic Chess recording of 1949 and the live version, which is among the greatest of raw blues slide performances ever captured. The live performance has just seen its first authorized released (unedited for the first time!) on the new "And This Is Maxwell Street" 2CD set from P-Vine in Japan--PCD 5527/28 (and I hope soon on a U.S. Label). The CD reviewed here is also of interest for the Houston Stackhouse material. Stackhouse taught Night Hawk to play the guitar in 1931. They often performed together. Both come straight out of the tradition of Tommy Johnson and his brothers, which makes him of interest also as a link between Johnson's style and the style of later performers influenced by it. Johnson was known for his use of falsetto. Howling Wolf, of the same tradition, developed this into the howl that gave him his stage name. Stackhouse is an under-rated performer who deserves more attention. Recommended. (Living Blues)

Random internet review:
Time In, issued in 1965 and the Quartet’s 15th anniversary album, was the last of pianist and composer Dave Brubeck's “Time” recordings, and one of his most musically adventurous. Gone are the moody, silky textures and glissando moves of Time Out, or Time Further Out. In fact, of all the “Time” recordings, this is the least commercial and, in places, almost hard bop-oriented among them. This set goes beyond the entire West Coast idea as well. That's not to say there are no ballads –“Softly, William, Softly” is one of the most gorgeous ballads Brubeck ever composed, with a memorable solo by Paul Desmond, who plays a slow, bluesy articulation over the pianist's augmented harmonic changes. But there's so much more. The title track has Stravinsky-esque chords that introduce a delicate theme, which disintegrates into a dissonant swing. There is also Brubeck variation on “Frankie and Johnnie,” on “He Done Her Wrong.” This track comes charging out of the box à la the Ramsey Lewis trio in a fit of pure one-four-five groove, with Desmond playing ostinato throughout the chorus. And here, Brubeck shows his love of tradition: Inside his solo, comprised of chords and striated intervallic figures that are just off the harmonic series, he never leaves the original behind; it is always readily evoked at any moment in the tune. The set closes with “Cassandra,” a piece with sleight-of-hand rhythms and fleet soloing by the pianist and Desmond. Brubeck himself comes out of the melody with a series of 16th notes that blaze into 32nds before he comes back to the changes for Desmond. All the while, Joe Morello is triple-timing the band even in the slower passages just to keep the pulse on target as Gene Wright and Brubeck move all around the time figures to create a sense of space around Desmond's solo. Though it is seldom celebrated as such, this is one of Brubeck's finest moments on Columbia.

Poncho Sanchez - Instant Party @320
The imaginative rhythms of Poncho Sanchez have made him one of the most influential conga players and percussionists in Afro-Cuban jazz.
Instant Party includes 11 previously released tracks by bandleader and conga player Poncho Sanchez, focusing on his Concord label recordings. Unlike similar Concord artists who have recorded for numerous labels during their career, including Mongo Santamaria and Tito Puente, Sanchez has been with the company for the majority of his career, making the track picks truly depict the best of his overall output as opposed to just his output on a particular label. Taken from 11 separate albums, highlights include "Listen Here/Cold Duck Time," "Chile con Soul," "One Mint Julep" (with Ray Charles), "Bésame Mama" (with Mongo Santamaria), and "Watermelon Man." These tracks deliver exactly what the title promises while presenting the Latin jazz novice with a quality sampling of Poncho Sanchez. (Al Campbell, Allmusic)

Black Fire cd 1, track 1 is missing. Yusef Lateef Chang Chang Chang.
I am not a fan of jazz generally but I thought I would give this album a spin.
I prefer music with a beat, free form jazz leaves me cold, mostly.
But I will give all music at least one spin.
Looks like the R&B Years 1947 CD 3 is missing?
lemonflag - I agree with what you say of free form jazz. I offer a chance to listen to this album, as I find the label Soul Jazz to offer well thought out compilations. Will I keep this collection on my hard drive? No. (Just for your info, I do not love everything I offer in the bonus department. But I like diversity, and I figure there are a few who might like some of the music offered. Most of the music I offer is stuff that I enjoy to some degree, however.) My true loves are garage, soul, R&B,old gospel, blues, hillbilly, honky tonk, rockabilly, power pop, punk, surf, 50's, 60's 70's sounds, etc.
Gyro
Thanks for your thoughtful reply. It shows how great this site is that you try to offer music for every taste, even if you don't really like it yourself.
I find when I review albums, I only save tracks that I like. I have thousands of broken albums but I enjoy the tracks I save.
I have found that I mostly save 60's, after all it was my teenage years. The 60's music finished around 1973-4 and I only keep 50 pct of the 70's, maybe 20 pct of the 80's and almost nothing since then. I have not stopped listening to new music , I just don't save it!
And now my son tells me that Paul has made a record with Kanye.
The dream is over!
Thanks Gyro for Robert NightHawk: I never had the chance to hear him, I shall hear him this week-end.
LittleJack
Thanks again!
Thanks
