Yes, I think you're right, there. I don't know that one; thanks. I don't think Gladys made more better singles than Ree, but I'm not going to dispute what you say. I know that no Gladys Knight singles, apart from "Every beat of my heart", moved me the way lots of Ree's singles did. I think that's got something to do with the fact (well, I think it's a fact) that Ree was BAD and Gladys was good. MG

Reuben Wilson- unissused session
The Magnificent Goldberg replied to chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez's topic in Discography
Christ what a fuckin' BAND!!!!! The others are well known but Bill Curtis at the time was playing with Don Pullen (org), Charles Williams (as)& Bubba Brooks (ts) in a band called The Four Souls. Later, he started the Fatback Band (of course, that very fact might put MC off). "Son of man" is a nice Harold Ousley tune. This must be the first recording. I've only heard it by Houston Person, I think - on the "Person to person" album. Yeah, this would be a great one for the Rare Grooves series. MG -
What a disappointment! I hit the link, got the home page, hit artists, hit A and saw, not without a certain amazement, the name Alpha Blondy, one of my favourite Reggae singers. So I hit the link, to be told that there are no releases by Alpha Blondy (on Blue Note). Er... did Alpha Blondy ever have a release on Blue Note? His recordings are licensed from his own company by EMI France... MG

I missed this thread before, too. Well, I have LOTS of Stanley, of course, as a sideman as well as a leader. What Stanley had that separated him from most other tenor players of his generation was a huge sound that harked back to the big tenor players of the previous generation - Ben, Ammons, Gator, Illinois, Arnett, Tate & etc - but the taste to put that into a more modern context; whether of organ-related Soul Jazz or Bebop/Hard Bop. Stanley's sound. Yes he is. And on the other hand Stanley's sound. Yes he is. And that's what causes a lot of people to be turned off by the stuff he made for Fantasy and Elektra; me too, to be frank - because that sensuous sound of his is the first thing that hits you and, if you want to make some real money out of jazz, you don't need to go much farther than find a saxman with a great, sensuous sound. But there are a couple of exceptions which I wouldn't want people to miss simply through lack of knowledge. "Everybody come on out" is a pretty commercial thing but Stanley sounds to me as if he's relly playing on a good many of these tracks. "Use the stairs" which is a kind of straight big band album, but with only one main soloist (arranged by Wade Marcus). But with songs like "The lamp is low", "On a misty night", "Jordu" and "Georgia on my mind", you know you're not going to get lift music (sorry, elevator music). (Think I'll give that one a play later.) These aren't "brilliant" albums, but they're pretty damn good. If you've got all the brilliant stuff, then a couple of pretty damn good ones wouldn't go amiss. MG

But he was also a LOT sexier than Robert Johnson. MG

Well, since I don't watch TV or listen to the radio and don't live in Scotland, I didn't know about this until too late. Of course, even had I known about it, I wouldn't have taken any notice. If I want to listen to no music (which does happen very occasionally, believe it or not), I'll do it on my own time, not because someone else is doing it. MG

I didn't see what my total score or geog IQ were; just that I was 4980 short of going on to level 12. Guess that makes my regular IQ about 4 MG -
I can no longer trust new USA vinyl production....
The Magnificent Goldberg replied to wolff's topic in The Vinyl Frontier
I'd just like to say that I've no interest in the topic under discussion, viz expensive audiophile pressings, so here goes. "I've no interest in the topic under discusion, viz expensive audiophile pressings." There, that made me feel a lot better. MG -
Er... OK. Do you misunderstand? In my view, commercial pressures and power of marketing are GOOD things, whether they give rise to questionable artistic decisions or not. Don't forget, I think I'd possibly like and enjoy more people like Monk, Ornette, Rollins and many others had they deliberately striven for mass acceptance as did Jug, Illinois, McDuff & Jimmy Smith etc. I agree, generally. Would that Inez album be "This is not the frst time I've been last"? Some of those cuts come off very well, others aren't so good, I think. But Gospel music and Soul have definitely different objectives and, therefore, different means of achieving their aims musically. (This is at the heart of what the Gospel world thinks of as "sinful music" and why. Ree was about the only person who could nip back and forth with a fair degree of impunity and that's another thing that makes her very unique.) So it's unsurprising that dyed-in-the-wool Gospel artists had grown up and developed musically in a different way. (I suspect that Hip Hop may have changed things in that way, though I wouldn't like to speculate about how much was the music and how much was a revision of the mission - geared more to outreach than to preaching to the converted - were black church attendances falling in the 80s/90s?)
