jazzbo Posted February 23, 2005 Report Posted February 23, 2005 I think rather than Holmes that McDuff was meant. . . . Quote
Bill Fenohr Posted February 23, 2005 Report Posted February 23, 2005 I see that Water is bringing out Leo Wright' Soul Talk at the end of March. This was an Atlantic/Vortex issue with Gloria Coleman on organ, KB on guitar and Frankie Dunlop drums. I finally get to replace my poppy vinyl copy. Quote
jazzbo Posted February 23, 2005 Report Posted February 23, 2005 Yes, I'm excited, I preordered mine on February 4! Leo and FRANKIE! Quote
Brad Posted February 25, 2005 Report Posted February 25, 2005 I received Say It Loud today and this being my first Water release and the first time I ever heard this date I think they did a very nice job. Sounds great. Lou sounds good, almost like early 60s Lou (not impling criticism here) but I really like Blue on this record. I also like the liner notes (original and new ones). Also the quality of the paper used is good, not flimsy. If you're into the grease, you need to get this. Quote
Bluerein Posted February 26, 2005 Report Posted February 26, 2005 Anyone noticed these Water reissues have the 'Music by EMI" Logo on the spine? The others in the serie didn't have this (and the FBI warning of course). Quote
jazzbo Posted February 26, 2005 Report Posted February 26, 2005 Yes I have noticed. Interesting. Next thing you know Mosaics of EMI material will! Just been listening to and really really enjoying the Baby Huey Water. WOW! Quote
Tony Pusey Posted February 27, 2005 Report Posted February 27, 2005 Jazzbo, I would be interested in more info about the Baby Huey, I have been eying that one up along with the Patty Waters... Quote
jazzbo Posted February 27, 2005 Report Posted February 27, 2005 The Baby Huey is very interesting to me, a lot of the bands I saw in Chicago in the period of '73 to '76 had the sound one way or another that Baby Huey and the Baby Sitters came up with. It's a blend of the sort of sounds that James Brown and Buddy Miles Express and Howlin' Wolf and many another band (including a bit of Santana) had at the time. . . well, it's black music and it's very powerful and trippy. I'm enjoying it a lot; the jazzy bits, and the dramatic bits that Huey injects. . . he was a great singer, it's a tight band, it's fun music. Quote
Stefan Wood Posted February 27, 2005 Report Posted February 27, 2005 Water reissued the Baby Huey?? Damn............ His version of Hard Times is stone cold FUNKY!!! Quote
Eric Posted February 27, 2005 Report Posted February 27, 2005 Anybody have the new McDuff? Wondering how it compares to Moon Rappin'? Thanks Quote
Tony Pusey Posted February 27, 2005 Report Posted February 27, 2005 Thanks Jazzbo One for the wants list. Quote
jazzbo Posted February 27, 2005 Report Posted February 27, 2005 The new McDuff is much more New Orleansy than Moon! It's a juicy bluesy romp thanks to Ray Draper and some funky arrangements. Me likey. Quote
Brad Posted February 27, 2005 Report Posted February 27, 2005 Anybody have the new McDuff? Wondering how it compares to Moon Rappin'? Thanks I've just ordered this so I'll let you know. Quote
Tony Pusey Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 Latest listing at Water shows Freddie Roach Brown Sugar,Watts 103rd Street Rythm Band and Gene McDaniels Headless Heroes of the Apocalypse, the last 2 mean nothing to me, but I am glad for the Roach! Quote
jazzbo Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 Wow, very good news on the Roach! The McDaniels may be interesting as well. . . . Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 Wow, very good news on the Roach! Holy shit!! I've already got a TOCJ of the Roach, but I never dreamed we get anything from Water that had been previously released on CD in Japan. VERY good news. Quote
sidewinder Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 The Roach is indeed very good - a great performance by Joe Henderson in a setting that was somewhat unusual for him. Water seem to be taking on the mantle of the 'Rare Grooves' series by the look of it.. 4MWBeards issue of this on vinyl presumably? Quote
Soul Stream Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 Water...what BN used to be before Norah. Quote
sjarrell Posted March 23, 2005 Report Posted March 23, 2005 Is there a date on the Roach? The McDaniels is worthy as hell. I've got the 32 Jazz issue of that around here somewhere... Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted March 23, 2005 Report Posted March 23, 2005 TWO free beers to the first Organissimo reader who tells me what classical meter this is in-- very bad iambic pentameter! Quote
JSngry Posted March 23, 2005 Report Posted March 23, 2005 So then, two very bad free beers? YOU HAVE TIME TO REVISE YOUR OPINION! Quote
Tony Pusey Posted March 23, 2005 Report Posted March 23, 2005 Clem, funny you should mention Sill, because her first 2 albums on Rhino Handmade arrived yesterday. Never rated her back in the 70s when a good pal of otherwise unimpeachable taste played them for me, but now they hit with the impact of a steam train, this is now the third time Ive played them in 16 hours, a situation chez nous which is as rare as hens teeth! Me thinks the Water is not now far behind. PS Zodiac! Quote
Man with the Golden Arm Posted April 26, 2005 Report Posted April 26, 2005 TWO free beers to the first Organissimo reader who tells me what classical meter this is in-- very bad iambic pentameter! not to confuse with this lambic parameter. Quote
Man with the Golden Arm Posted April 26, 2005 Report Posted April 26, 2005 oh , i forgot ... how's this Leo Wright? Quote
