Those sandals, I saw him wearing sandals even when it was cold outside. The last time I saw him live (and it was a fantastic evening, he was on time and very articulate and in top form) was late 1987, and I was astonished that he wore those sandals without socks, maybe trumpet playing keeps feet warm Yep his "famous" sandals 😎 ....

JSngry Posted April 10, 2019 Author Report Posted April 10, 2019 Quite possible THE Charles Brown record of them all. Quote
JSngry Posted April 10, 2019 Author Report Posted April 10, 2019 Always a pleasure to hear Charles Davis. Quote

JSngry Posted April 10, 2019 Author Report Posted April 10, 2019 No strings on this one. Just a combo with organ (Brown), tenor, and guitar. Ballads and Blues, done to perfection as only Charles Bown could do them. I'm sure the AMG review has reservation about this being a "lounge" record or something of that ilk. Well, yeah, it is. It's a Charles Brown lounge record, because that's what Charles Brown was doing then, playing black lounges, ballads and blues in black lounges for black lounge-goers. Fuck AMG. This is a beautiful record. Quote

This is a beautiful record. I think the issue is a review of an expanded reissue of Mainstream sessions, at least half of the CD looks to be strings and personally I'd probably feel the same way. Bill Dahl is kind of the Yanow of the blues for AMG, at least for me. He's pretty close to my tastes. I'd be curious though about the original session with organ/tenor/guitar. Quote

NP: On this CD, the ever-prolific Liebman teams up with Canadian saxophonist Samuel Blais, whose primary ax is the baritone. Two-sax front-lines are almost always interesting -- and the soprano-baritone combo here works very well. I dig. Quote
