Duke_J SUBS 12th Jul 2024		CD Album Jon Lloyd Quartet - Earth Songs	The genre here varies between Easy Listening and Very Laid Back. Al'Afiyah is as lively as it gets. The textures and harmonies are rich throughout. [YouTube Video]
Duke_J SUBS 4th Apr 2024		CD Album Jamie Cullum - The Pursuit	Slow ballad If I Ruled The World, which was a hit for Harry Secombe in 1963 [YouTube Video]
Duke_J SUBS 17th Mar 2024		CD Album Airto Moreira And The Gods Of Jazz - Killer Bees	Instrumental foolery in the studio until about halfway through the title track, when they pick up an inconsequential riff; the same characterises the rest of the album to some degree, except for Communion where they play straight, on a jazz triple swing melody. [YouTube Video][YouTube Video]
Duke_J SUBS 29th Jan 2024		CD Album John Scofield - Time On My Hands	[YouTube Video]
Duke_J SUBS 28th Jan 2024		CD Album John Scofield - Still Warm	A dream lineup! I've always liked the idea of 'Still Warm', is it an analogy to a recent casualty, or something more mischievous? [YouTube Video]
Duke_J SUBS 7th Dec 2023		Vinyl Album Martial Solal - Electrodes: Martial Solal Joue Michel Magne	[YouTube Video]

Duke_J SUBS 3rd Sep 2023		CD Album Earl Bostic, Richard "Groove" Holmes, Joe Pass - Complete Quintet Recordings	The full album is on YT and shows some fine jazz was recorded in these 1963 sessions For some reason it starts 1 minute in, so you'll have to spool back to the start when you play it. [YouTube Video]

Duke_J SUBS 29th Oct 2022		CD Album Anita O'Day - Jazz Manifesto	This is in effect a reissue of Anita Sings For Oscar, itself including the whole of "Anita Sings the Most" (Verve, 1957), with pianist Oscar Peterson, guitarist Herb Ellis, bassist Ray Brown, and drummers Milt Holland or John Poole. The whole is a very good quality remastering.
Duke_J SUBS 29th Oct 2022		CD Album Greve Sperrazza Tordini - The Choir Invisible	Fine contemporary jazz Slightly edited take on YT [YouTube Video]
Duke_J SUBS 21st Apr 2022		Vinyl Album Charlie Mingus - Tonight At Noon	Today 22nd is the centenary of Mingus' birth. The title track sounds particularly avant-garde for 1957 [YouTube Video]
Duke_J SUBS 1st Dec 2021		78 RPM Josephine Baker et les Comedian Harmonists - Sous Le Ciel D'Afrique / Espabilate	Josephine Baker was honoured at the Panthéon in Paris yesterday, the first black woman to receive one of the highest honours in France. She worked in France for the resistance to the Nazi occupation, and in her native USA she worked for the abolishment of racial segregation. The ceremony was reported on the news in the UK, accompanied for no obvious reason by a speeded up version of one of her records, which made her sound like some sort of freak like Bridget The Midget. In fact she had a very fine voice, using the French vibrato style of the time which we all know from singers like Édith Piaf [YouTube Video]
Duke_J SUBS 19th Nov 2021		78 RPM Lew Stone And His Monseigneur Band - Junk Man Blues / My Woman	Jolly song, complete with ocarina solo [YouTube Video]
Duke_J SUBS 3rd May 2021		78 RPM Slim Gaillard Orchestra - Flat Foot Floogie / School Kids Hop	[YouTube Video]
Duke_J SUBS 3rd May 2021		78 RPM Slim And Slam - Flat Fleet Floogee / Chinatown, My Chinatown	The licencious nature of this song had to be hidden from the censors: the title was a nonsence Bowdlerisation of "Flat Foot Floozie with a Floy Floy" which you can look up on Wikipedia if you are so inclined [YouTube Video]
Duke_J SUBS 5th Apr 2021		CD Album Peggy Lee - The Collection	A fine collection of jazz classics by Peggy Lee, well mastered from various sources: you can hear the record surface on some, which could probably have been de-clicked but at least they didn't just muffle the sound and make it unacceptable to anyone who wants to listen to it rather than have it on in the background Oh for some detailed record notes, but they do at least list the bands on each track. "Summertime" has become such a corny old classic, but here she takes the song in a completely individual manner, elegantly backed with the ensemble The Four Of A Kind [YouTube Video]
Duke_J SUBS 15th Dec 2020		CD Album Roadside Picnic - For Mad Men Only!	The sleeve shows Bufford Street which is in Islington and which has a Victoria Park
Duke_J SUBS 15th Dec 2020		CD Album Roadside Picnic - Roadside Picnic	Review The band seem to have taken their name from the sci-fi novel Roadside Picnic by Arkadi and Boris Strugatsky. They continue in the style of "The Canterbury Scene" which was centred around artists including Matching Mole, Gong, Robert Wyatt and Kevin Ayers. The track titles are obtuse too, but the tunes are sweet and richly harmonic, in a style close to jazz but without the repeating changes. Morning Song starts the album, maybe in recognition of the Soft Machine who started their album "Softs" with Aubade [YouTube Video] In "A New Canterbury Tale" the bell peals must be coming from the Cathedral [YouTube Video] 4 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
