"Swinging On The Golden Gate" Blues, R&B and Jazz on West Coast Indy Labels 1944-1958

Two discs 77,75 minutes each approximately. The sound for the most part is clean with a slight warmness which is very agreeable. There are a few tracks that suffer from surface noise, but the musical importance makes up for the lack of clean sound. Each CD is housed in its own jewel case,which slips into a cardboard case. The booklets give short overviews of the local record labels that released these sides during the 40's and 50's in the (mostly) S.F. area. The booklets list each artist,band members/instruments and recording date/location. The notes were written by Opal Louis Nations, known for her knowledge of the era......This collection of West Coast blues/r&b/jazz does a fine job of alerting listeners to the music that was recorded in the years after WWII. While there are a number of multi-disc sets (hear "Bob Geddins Big Town Records Story", "The Trilon Records Story", "The Olliet Records Story", "The Derby Records Story" for more music from this era) that cover this music/era in greater depth, this 2 CD set is valuable for the number of rarities heard here. But rarities aside, this is a well chosen collection of several genres of music popular at the time, by artists who could deliver the goods.
Alongside relatively well known artists like Lafayette "Thing" Thomas, Percy Mayfield, Ivory Joe Hunter, Pee Wee Crayton, and Jesse Fuller, there are lesser known artists such as the FABULOUS FLAMES, Nick Esposito, Floyd White, Gladys Palmer, and Marcellus Thomas who are every bit equal to the "name" artists. Whether its blues, jazz, or a swinging little r&b combo, this music is very evocative of a period long past. With this set listeners can hear music popular locally (or at best regionally) in the years from after the war through to the mid fifties, in the Oakland/S.F./L.A. areas.
This is vital, honest music that the major labels wouldn't touch. For that reason this set is a valuable look inside the music that the black population (many who migrated to these areas in search of work) listened to on jukeboxes at their favorite watering holes after a hard days work. It's music designed to lift the spirits, to make you forget your troubles if only temporarily, to give people an excuse to have a few drinks with friends. And 50 or so years later, it still has that effect. Listen to this collection and be transported back to an era of nickel beer and when people gathered after work or on the weekends for a good time. This music was a large part of that experience, an experience that's long gone. So step back in time and hear some fine, exciting music from artists who recorded these tracks on a shoestring budget in an unsophisticated, storefront studio. The trip will be worth it.

Comprehensive Turtles box set with bonus tracks
American rock band The Turtles’ celebrate their 50th anniversary this August with the release of a pair of definitive CD packages that encompass, for the first time, the whole of the Turtles’ recorded output from 1965 to 1970…

The Complete Original Album Collection is a six-CD box set that of the six albums that The Turtles released between 1965 to 1970, with each disc presenting a wealth of rare bonus material.
The first three albums — It Ain’t Me Babe, You Baby and Happy Together — are presented in original mono and stereo mixes, while each of the remaining three — The Turtles Present the Battle of the Bands, Turtle Soup and Wooden Head — provide a selection of rarities (including some previously unreleased material) such as demos, alternative mixes and radio spots.
In addition to the box, a new compilation All The Singles collects the A and B-sides of every original 1965-1970 Turtles 45, with the tracks presented in the same mono or stereo mixes that were heard on the original singles. All the Singles also features several tracks that were prepared for singles release but not issued at the time.
Engineer Bill Inglot has researched and prepared this material from the original master tapes and both sets contain liner notes by Andrew Sandoval.
Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman are fully involved in these projects and they are both issued on The Turtles’ label FloEdCo, in association with Manifesto Records. The pair continue to play live and the ‘Happy Together 2016′ North American tour kicked off a few weeks ago.

Nappy Brown - Down In The Alley; The Complete Savoy Singles As & Bs 1954-1962

When we talk about those artists who represent the transition between blues/r&b and soul it is usually Ray Charles, James Brown and Sam Cooke who come to the fore. The subject of this 2CD collection, Nappy Brown is not usually in the mix but after you have listened to this collection of his singles released between 1954 and 1962 you will certainly be wondering why. Hear Brown's voice bellow and roar across these 54 tracks and on hits like "Don't Be Angry", "Pitter Patter" and "It Don't Hurt No More". The Gospel delivery and arrangement of "The Right Time" caught the attention of a young Ray Charles who was currently hitting the big time with outrageous blues versions of gospel song. He covered it and retitled it "(Night Time Is) The Right Time" and secured a hit that eventually went on to become a standard. Nappy never compromised his sound despite his huge popularity in the teen pop market and as such this collection really doesn't sound as old as it is.

Robbie Robertson - Testimony (2016)

Testimony is the singer/songwriter’s own take on his musical history — an 18-track compilation that samples from every era of his career, from his time supporting Ronnie Hawkins to his stabs at moody trip-hop.
While the book ends when the Band disbands, Testimony finds space for selections from his solo career — five songs total, with 1991’s Storyville earning the largest play and the electronica aspects of 1998’s Contract from the Underworld of Red Boy and 2011’s How to Become Clairvoyant diminished. Still, the Band naturally figures heavily into the equation here, but Robertson avoids his biggest hits along with some of his best-known songs. Instead, he culls heavily from the Band’Live at the Academy of Music 1971 performance — it’s better known as the 1972 LP Rock of Ages — and the 2005 Band box A Musical History, which is where all the early cuts from Levon Helm & the Hawks and the Robertson-sung “Twilight (Song Sketch)” were first released. If Testimony is light on rarities, what matters is context. By piecing together all these elements of his career — including his time backing Hawkins (“Come Love”) and Bob Dylan (“Rainy Day Women #12 & 35” from Before the Flood) — he paints a fairly rich portrait of his musical achievements, so Testimony does indeed wind up being a musical memoir.
Tracklist:
01. Robbie Robertson – Testimony (Unity Mix) (05:42)
02. The Band – Bessie Smith (04:19)
03. Bob Dylan and The Band – Rainy Day Woman #12 & 35 (Live) (03:39)
04. The Band – The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down (Live) (04:54)
05. Levon and The Hawks – He Don’t Love You (And He’ll Break Your Heart) (02:38)
06. Robbie Robertson – Somewhere Down The Crazy River (04:57)
07. The Band – Life Is A Carinival (Live) (04:06)
08. The Band – It Makes No Difference (06:33)
09. The Band – The Weight (Live) (05:19)
10. The Band – Out Of The Blue (03:22)
11. Levon and The Hawks – I’m Gonna Play The Honky Tonks (03:05)
12. Bob Dylan – Obviously Five Believers (03:36)
13. Robbie Robertson – Soap Box Preacher (05:22)
14. The Band – Twilight (Song Sketch) (03:23)
15. Ronnie Hawkins and The Hawks – Come LOve (03:09)
16. Robbie Robertson – When The Night Was Young (05:06)
17. The Band – The Shape I’m In (Live) (03:52)
18. Robbie Robertson – Unbound (04:38)

Fun On The Frets; Early Jazz Guitar (1934-1949, Yazoo 1061)

This Yazoo LP has many rather rare acoustic guitar performances. Carl Kress, a great chordal player, is heard on ten duets with fellow guitarist Tony Mottola in 1941, a couple of hot numbers with Dick McDonough (1934's "Danzon" and "I've Got a Feeling You're Fooling" from 1936) and two 1939 solos. In addition the seven-string guitar pioneer George Van Eps is featured on four numbers with a trio from 1949. Those listeners who have only heard of Django Reinhardt and Charlie Christian among early guitarists are well-advised to search for this fascinating LP. (Scott Yanow, Allmusic)

One of the great guitarists of the 1930s, Carl Kress had a very sophisticated chordal style on acoustic guitar. Kress often teamed up with fellow guitarist Dick McDonough in the 1930s, and continued working in the studios into the 1960s, playing during his last years in a duo with George Barnes. Most of Carl Kress' solo and duet (with McDonough) recordings from the 1930s are long overdue to be reissued.
With the premature death of Eddie Lang in 1933, Dick McDonough and Carl Kress were considered his likely successors both on jazz dates and in the studios. McDonough was already a very busy player. His work accelerated with Lang's passing, he occasionally teamed up with Kress, and during 1936-1937, McDonough led a notable series of medium-size group recordings, few of which have ever been reissued.
George Van Eps was a quiet legend among jazz guitarists, one who as far back as the 1930s pioneered a harmonically sophisticated chordal/lead style that was eclipsed in influence by the single-string idioms of Charlie Christian and Django Reinhardt. Yet Van Eps, also stood apart from them as an iconoclastic inventor, designing a seven-string guitar in the late '30s that adds an extra bass string. Thus, Van Eps was able to play basslines simultaneously with chords and lead solos, a jazz equivalent of fingerpicking country guitarists like Merle Travis and Chet Atkins. Van Eps puckishly referred to his style of playing as "lap piano," and his seven-string guitar has been adopted by a select few figures like Howard Alden and Bucky and John Pizzarelli. (Musician)

Fred Hughes - Baby Boy (1969)

A soaring full length debut from Fred Hughes – a singer who cut some key singles for Brunswick Records in the late 60s, and more than lives up to their strength here on an album! The set's got some very in-the-pocket backings for Fred to work with – arrangements from Sonny Sanders, Tom Tom, and Willie Henderson – all in that brilliantly bouncy blend of Chicago soul modes that Brunswick was putting forth at the time! The style's a great blend with the rootsier modes of Hughes' vocals – a style that might have been more blues in another setting, but which works here with a great sense of righteous presence and power. Titles include Fred's own compositions "Who You Really Are", "Don't Let This Happen To Us", "Baby Boy", and "I Understand" – plus "Oo Wee Baby", "In My Time Of Need", and "San Francisco Is A Lonely Time".  © 1996-2016, Dusty Groove, Inc.

RYP/Gyro – thanks for “Golden Gate” – looking forward to the listening
RYP – thanks for the Dr. John series – I have quite a few but you're certainly widening my knowledge
@ tiptopdaddy thanks for a couple of nice rockin' sets.
@ Jillem – Rozetta Johnson fills a gap in my listening
@ Crispy – your contributions are always welcome. I have this CD but your digital version with scans will sit nicely on the PC.

Does anyone have DAVE BARTHOLOMEW's two Imperial LPs

LP 9162 Fats Domino Presents … (1961)
LP 9217 New Orleans House Party (1961)

As far as I can make out they were never reissued on vinyl or CD so if someone has these and could rip and share sometime - I'd be very grateful.

Gyro, thanx for Nappy Brown. I had a lot of this from an earlier Savoy disc, but not all of this. Love the Nappy Man.

Many are not aware of this Nappy album. It's quite rare and has some KILLER guitar on a few tracks by little-known session man Charlie Brown. I have sold several copies of this in the $100. vicinity over the years, just by dropping the needle at shows on the guitar work.

Here's an early rip I did about 20 years ago. Sorry for the skip...

Gyro, thank you for sharing all things, Robbie Robertson, Pink Floyd, and The Turtles...also your work and ear, appreciated.

Gyro1966-Thanks for The Turtles box.

Robert said...

Just wanted to say thanks for Robbie Robertson, and mention that his autobiography, the book TESTIMONY, is worth your time if you're interested in The Band. Robertson is a great storyteller. Robert in Tucson

RYP Thank you for this comp of west coast R&B. I thought I had every one! Anything with Opal Nations at the helm opens my eyes wide!
Gyro thank you as usual for your generosity.

The Turtles look great, though I already have it and love it. The Nappy Brown I didn't have. I do now. Thanks.
