JOE JACKSON - Steppin' Out - The Collection: The A&M Years 1979-1989 '14 @320
Quite a few Joe Jackson compilations have been released over the years, but in every case, the record company has just gone ahead without consulting Joe or even informing him about the release. Hence the sometimes strange track selections, awful artwork, and inaccurate liner notes or credits.
Steppin’ Out: The Collection (The A&M Years 1979-89) is different: Joe was actually given a fair amount of input in all of those areas. So if you want a single-album snapshot of the first ten years of Joe’s career, this is the one to get.
Features the top 20 hits Steppin’ Out, Is She Really Going Out with Him? and It’s Different for Girls . (Allmusic)
1. One More Time
2. Is She Really Going Out with Him?
3. Sunday Papers
4. Got the Time
5. It’s Different for Girls
6. I’m the Man
7. Beat Crazy
8. Mad at You
9. Jumpin’ Jive
10. Real Men

BARBARA GEORGE - I Know (You Don't Love Me Anymore) '61 @320
With her lone smash hit as the centerpiece, Barbara George's A.F.O. album from 1962 is surprisingly free of filler, almost a prerequisite in those singles-dominated times. Her follow-up hit, "Talk About Love," is also aboard, and other highlights include nice takes of "Since I Fell for You," the bouncy "Don't Ask Me No Questions," and the soulful ballad "Honest I Do." With top-notch playing from Harold Battiste and others, this is classic early-'60s New Orleans music all the way. (Cub Koda, Allmusic)

2. Whip O Will
3. Since I Fell For You

NICKI BLUHM & THE GRAMBLERS - Nicki Bluhm and The Gramblers '13 @320
One of the most valuable aspects in a fair number of appreciated Alt-Country and Americana exponents is the capacity of ranging between different genres in their career and often in a single piece of work.
Making themselvels show to a wider public with the Van Sessions, a series of on-the-road videos like the Hall&Oates "I Can't Go For That" cover that went viral, the North California based singer/songwriter Nicki Bluhm, after a couple solo releases, joints his partner Tim Bluhm of the Mother Hips (guitar, keyboards and vocals) and the other Gramblers members (bassist Steve Adams of ALO, drummer Mike Curry, Dave Mulligan guitar and vocals, Deren Ney lead guitar) for a collection of songs that span Rock, Country and Soul in a enjoyable and colorful set.
Supported by mellow harmonies and enriched with first class arrangements, since its first spin the simple structure of the eleven tracks is what permits a straightaway and gratifying full impact with this self titled "Nicki Bluhm and the Gramblers".
Inspired by the likes of Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris, the resolute Nicki vocals, whether they're sultry and powerful or sweet and warm always seem to keep the pace of whatever style every single tune calls for.
In the beguiling "Little too late", a potential airplay hit, funk and rock vibes start kicking in, while a soulful vein distinguish the slow paced "Nothing" and the murder 60's soul ballad "Check Your Head". West Coast strong influences in the rythm of the glittering "Deep Water" utterly amalgamate with the twangy note of "Hey Stranger".
The most roots oriented tune is the Nicki and Tim duet "Til I'm Blue", a gem of extraordinary sweetness and beauty that would be perfect for a road trip soundtrack. "Ravenous" is an intriguing jump into the 70's early FM sound where echoes of the Fleetwood Mac Buckingham/Nicks period find complete expression in the silken Nicki lead.
The pretty "Go Go Go" that entertains with a rousing rocker attitude and the even more upbeat mark in the Southern Rock of "Hold you breath" are another example of how deftly and accurate the group is skilled in changing direction.Then back to a simple as much as effective melodic thread, "Always come back" is an heartfelt ode to the Bay Area origins.
As a matter of fact, the band versatility and the cohesion acquired since it began touring a couple of years ago are the secret of this finely crafted disc that certainly will take an important place in the 2013 Americana production. (No Depression)

RICHARD “GROOVE” HOLMES - American Pie '72 @320
The soulful American Pie pairs Groove Holmes with electric pianist Larry Willis, suggesting a more nuanced and restrained interpretation of the organ/electric piano formula that energizes Holmes' Blue Note classic Comin' on Home. Ably supported by guitarist Gerald Hubbard, bassist Jerry Jemmott and percussionist Kwasi Jayourba, Holmes and Willis weave a mellow, stoned-soul groove that twists and turns with lazy precision -- although the material derives from sources spanning from Don McLean to Anthony Newley to Holmes himself (the fine originals "Catherine" and "Fingers"), the mood and tenor of the set never wavers, but the whole is far greater than the sum of its parts. (Jason Ankeny, Allmusic)
Tasty small group work from Groove – with Mr Holmes himself on organ, and the great Larry Willis on electric piano – coming up with a twin electric organ/piano sound that's similar to the one that Groove used on his Comin On Home LP for Blue Note. The difference here is that things aren't as funky as on the Blue Note record – more in the style of the mellow soul of some of the other Groove Merchant albums, with a sweet use of percussion and guitar next to the keys – in a nice laidback kind of groove! Titles are mostly covers – like "St Thomas", "American Pie", and "Who Can I Turn To" – but the lineup also includes two Holmes originals, "Catherine" and the jazzy "Fingers", which is a nice little cut!

Louis Armstrong- Louis Armstrong: Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Man 1923-1934 (4CD Box Set) 1994
I don't mean to start a parlor game, but does greatest artist of the 20th century mean anything to you? I mean, who else you got? Picasso? Joyce? Renoir? Elvis? So here's one $50 item you owe yourself. I doubt it could be winnowed much--expanded would be better (where's "I'm Not Rough"?), with four-plus hours an ideal introductory length. If some of it is less beatwise than a punk funkateer might hope, try to imagine how startling it sounded in an aural world that was still on the operetta standard, where John Philip Sousa ruled brass and Scott Joplin was jungle music. Then pay attention. Home in on Pops's trumpet solos--their strength, clarity, daring, ease, humor, swing, melodicism, and endless newness. Enjoy his irrepressible vocals without calling them comic relief--the comic is everywhere in this music. Get to know the brilliant originals. Hear how he takes over blues and hokum, pop classics and pop disposables without belittling his sources. Ask yourself whether high and low mean any damn thing at all.- Robert Christgau

Miles Davis- We Want Miles (1982) CD
http://www90.zippyshare.com/v/TLSRLKXq/file.html
Davis's second recording since ending his six-year retirement was one of his best of the 1980s. Unlike his bands from the 1970s, this particular unit leaves plenty of space and plays much more melodically. Guitarist Mike Stern lets loose some fury, but electric bassist Marcus Miller is not reluctant to walk now and then in a straight-ahead fashion, drummer Al Foster and percussionist Mino Cinelu are tasteful, and Bill Evans gets in a few good spots on soprano. As for Davis, he was gradually regaining his earlier form. This double LP is highlighted by "Back Seat Betty," a side-long investigation of "My Man's Gone Now" and two versions of Davis's childlike "Jean Pierre."- Scott Yanow

Charlie Hunter Quintet- Right Now Move (2003) CD
http://www90.zippyshare.com/v/yGIgv2qJ/file.html
On his first album for a new label (after seven with Blue Note), the mercurial Charlie Hunter again works with a new group of musicians. Unlike the vocal-heavy Songs From the Analog Playground, Hunter returns to instrumentals on these 13 tracks. But it's the unique makeup of his band that gives this music its offbeat, eclectic, yet soothing qualities. Backed by drums and a two-piece horn section (Curtis Fowlkes on trombone and John Ellis on tenor sax), it's the group's fifth member -- Gregoire Maret on chromatic harmonica -- that really twists this music into unusual and previously unchartered waters. Easygoing, somewhat tropical funk and strong horn lines infuse a gentle, breezy, but not flimsy quality to this music. The horn players are both spectacular. Kudos in particular go to Fowlkes' trombone on the percussion-heavy "Freak Fest" and harp player Maret, whose minor key lines on "Mali," the album's longest track, add a European edge to the tune's lighthearted funk and complex horn charts. Arguably lost in the shuffle at times is Hunter himself, whose guitar/bass patterns underscore the proceedings, but only occasionally command center stage. Still, it is his concept that provides the foundation for the brass to work against, and his ever-present chords, many of which sound like keyboards due to various effects, provide the album's context. His spare George Benson-like style spars with the horns most effectively on "Le Bateau Ivre," the set's closing track, and "Wade in the Water," the sole cover. Hunter is at his playful best when his bouncy bass rules and the horns swing on the compact four-and-a-half-minute "Whoop-Ass." The New Orleans beat on "20th Century" -- featuring dueling sax and trombone goosed by Derrek Phillips' lively drumming -- is another highlight on an album filled with them. Though the approach is unique, it becomes less exciting and the tracks are more difficult to differentiate as the disc unfolds. Regardless, Hunter, to his credit, is trying something different (once more) and established fans of his jazz fusion worldbeat will not be disappointed.- Hal Horowitz

Have A great Sunday and hope y'all enjoy the music!
@clash:
The musicians who played with Frank Sinatra said that he could sing phrases just like a tenor saxophone would play them.
If you want to hear a cornet sing, just listen to Louis Armstrong.
Many thanks to Frans for sending these comps from his collection @320.
This is a fine 6 CD collection of mostly West Coast Psych, garage, and garage rock (in its many varieties) from the later part of the 60’s - most have never been comped before.

Thank you clash for the LA and the MD posts!
Thanks for Barbara George!
JohnnyD- I've heard many make the case for Louis Armstrong as greatest of them all. I certainly will not argue with that assertion. :)
Thanks for the California Love-In.
Sunday night and I'm in the proper state of mind to dig California Love-In Vols 1 thru 6. Good job/thanks!
A large thanks to Frans for California Love-In. The tagging is excellent. There wasn't too much that I had to do outside of trying to find a couple of dates. Great collection to have.
Franz thanks for all what you shared these last weeks.
