Texas songwriter Danny Wolfe thrived in the years from 1955 - 1966 excelling in writing Rockabilly songs, most notably for Gene Vincent's classic Capitol Records releases. This collection features three of the great Gene Vincent recordings: Pretty, Pretty Baby/ Gonna Back Up, and Double Talkin' Baby, as well as good tracks by Tooter Boatman, Carl Smith, Mac Wiseman, John D. Loudermilk, Huelyn Duval, and many more. Loudermilk's Susie's House being amongst the best tracks here, not to mention pretty rare. Wolfe's most famous composition has to be Fools' Hall Of Fame and you get great versions of that as well from no less than Rudy Richardson, Roy Orbison, and Johnny Cash. Also featured are about half a dozen tracks with Danny Wolfe himself tackling his own compositions, which are not the best tracks on the CD; however, he did just fine on the writing royalties. Deep notes tell old Wolfie's whole musical story. (JM) (Roots & Rhythm)

Two great albums from another pretty decent pianist.
McCoy Tyner- Expansions (1969) Vinyl
Of pianist McCoy Tyner's seven Blue Note albums of the 1967-1970 period, Expansions is the most definitive. Tyner's group (comprised of trumpeter Woody Shaw, altoist Gary Bartz, tenor saxophonist Wayne Shorter, Ron Carter on cello, bassist Herbie Lewis, and drummer Freddie Waits) is particularly strong, the compositions (four Tyner originals plus Calvin Massey's "I Thought I'd Let You Know") are challenging, and the musicians seem quite inspired by each other's presence. The stimulating music falls between advanced hard bop and the avant-garde, pushing and pulling at the boundaries of modern mainstream jazz.- Scott Yanow

And two more by Roland Kirk.
Roland Kirk- Here Comes The Whistleman (1967) Vinyl
Here Comes the Whistleman showcases Rahsaan Roland Kirk in 1967 with a fine band, live in front of a host of invited guests at Atlantic Studios in New York. His band for the occasion is stellar: Jacki Byard or Lonnie Smith on piano, Major Holley on bass, Lonnie Smith on piano, and Charles Crosby on drums. This is the hard, jump blues and deep R&B Roland Kirk band, and from the git, on "Roots," they show why. Kirk comes screaming out of the gate following a double time I-IV-V progression, with Holley punching the accents along the bottom and Byard shoving the hard tight chords up against Kirk's three-horn lead. The extended harmony Kirk plays -- though the melody line is a bar walking honk -- is extreme, full of piss and vinegar. On the title track, along with the artist's requisite, and genuinely good, humor, Kirk breaks out the whistles on top of the horn for a blues stomp with Smith taking over the piano chores. Smith plays a two chord vamp, changing the accent before he beings to break it open into a blues with skittering fills and turnarounds while Kirk blows circularly for 12 and 14 bars at a time. Byard returns for a tender and stirring duet rendition of "I Wished on the Moon," with his own glorious rich lyricism. And here is where Kirk displays the true measure of his ability as a saxophonist. Turning the ballad inside out, every which way without overstating the notes. Here, Ben Webster meets Coleman Hawkins in pure lyric ecstasy. The set officially ends with the wailing flute and sax jam "Aluminum Baby," (both courtesy of the irrepressible Kirk) and the bizarre ride of "Step Right Up" where Kirk sings scat in a dialect that sounds like Pop-eye. Now that's where the LP version ended, but the Label M CD reissue tags on, without credits anywhere two absolutely essential scorchers with what seems to be Byard on piano and an over-the-top bass blowout from Holley. Kirk plays saxophones on both, being his own horn section. This makes an already satisfying date an essential one. Given these additions, this might arguably be the place to start for an interested but underexposed listener who wants to experience how dazzlingly original Kirk was.- Thom Jurek

Rahsaan Roland Kirk & The Vibration Society- Rahsaan Rahsaan (1970) Vinyl
Roland Kirk and his band -- which, along with his normal companions Howard Johnson on tuba, Dick Griffin on trombone, Ron Burton on piano, and Vernon Martin on bass, added Leroy Jenkins on violin, Alvern Bunn on conga, Sonelius Smith on celeste and piano, and Joe Texidor on various sound objects to the mix -- once more indulge his obsession with creating modern day "black classical music." Recorded on one night -- Christmas Eve 1969, two days before Johnny Hodges died -- this is one of the weirdest records Kirk ever recorded, but it certainly has merit. Beginning with a 17-minute conceptual suite called "The Seeker," this was classical music Kirk style. The fact that his music here careens from vanguard atonalities to deep swinging blues grooves and wide-ranging color orchestrations worthy of Ellington is part of the Kirk paradox: If you hate it, wait a second -- it'll change. Other tracks here include a steamy "Satin Doll," a bluesy, mood-driven "Sweet Fire," and an almost obscene "Baby Let Me Shake Your Tree," all played with a host of horns in Kirk's mouth, all playing either ostinato or soloing at the same time, splitting the lobes as he called it, and all of them directing a very tight, wildly celebratory band. Rahsaan was the king of the riff -- he could use it until it bit you -- and once it did he was off and running someplace else, down on the hard-swinging outer spaceways of his mind and heart.

Thanks for the RR Kirk. A brilliant musician who played with unmatched energy and eclecticism. Sometimes unfairly dismissed as a novelty, Rahsaan was a force of nature best appreciated in live settings. I recall a show in which he removed the mouthpiece from his tenor sax and proceeded to play the horn by blowing across top of the body producing an unearthly effect. The guy could have got music out of a garden hose!
Thanks RYP for the Danny Wolfe & Friends. I love the way that this blog serves up so many surprises that make me want to digger deeper and wider.
