The Magnificent Goldberg Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 Well, "Soul brotherhood" was one of Kynard's best albums. It's a good bit better than "Reelin' with the feelin'" which is the other album on that CD. It's also a good bit better than either of the LPs on the Legends of Acid Jazz CD - "Afro-disiac" and "Wa-tu-wah-zui". "Soul brotherhood" is as good as "Professor soul", which has only been issued on CD in Japan. But I think that was one that was reissued quite cheaply earlier this year, so Hiroshi can probably get it. The other great Kynards are "Where it's at" on PJ, which has never been reissued, I think. Dan will agree, won't he? And Sonny Stitt's "My mother's eyes" also on PJ. And I think that one also has never made it to CD. In the last couple of weeks, since I got it from Hiroshi, I've been groovin' quite hard to "Charles Kynard", a recent Japanese reissue from Mainstream. That one's a LOT better than either of his other Mainstream albums. Nearly as good as "Afro-disiac" and "Reelin' with the feelin'". Two more bits of Kyard are on their way to me from Hiroshi: "Paul Humphrey" by Paul Humphrey and "Night blooming jazzmen" by the Night Blloming Jazzmen And don't forget that next month, there is another Japanese reissue of some classic Kynard: Afrique - Soul makossa No one needs to go short of Kynard.

Swinging Swede Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 And Sonny Stitt's "My mother's eyes" also on PJ. And I think that one also has never made it to CD. Good news then. This recently came out on CD on Groove Hut, one of the numerous "Andorran" labels. Perhaps they will also reissue Kynard's own PJ album? As for The Soul Brotherhood, I got it from Newbury Comics, but it's still in the backlog! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for The Soul Brotherhood, I got it from Newbury Comics, but it's still in the backlog! Thanks for that; now on order. When I did a search at all the European Amazons for "sonny stitt" "my mother's eyes", I got no results, so I left off "sonny stitt" and up it came. What's with this? If Groove Hut thought of issuing "Where it's at", they could have put it on the same CD as "My mother's eyes", so I doubt that it will come out.

Absolutely. Two more bits of Kyard are on their way to me from Hiroshi: "Paul Humphrey" by Paul Humphrey and "Night blooming jazzmen" by the Night Blloming Jazzmen Do you have any details on these (dates, personnel, label)? No one needs to go short of Kynard. Least of all his family. Because I named "Where Its At" as one of the AOTWs a long time ago (no one had it but I sent out burns to those interested) I was contacted by his brother, Gary, who told me that the family has been trying to obtain as much of Charles' music as possible. Ever since, I've been sending CDs and CDRs (or arranging to be sent in the case of the Mainstream recordings) to Gary's address. So, I am very curious about these "new" recordings. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Gary doesn't even know they exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 are any of the kynard mainsteam titles not just short cop soundtrack-ey joints? i am feeling maybe the self-titled is the deepest? the other two seem a bit produced...not sure if this one is even good. they all have too many covers or fritz tunes, at least. I'm not keen on Fritz. His arrangements seem too brittle for me. "Woga" is pretty poor, in my view. "Your mama don't dance" is a bit better. The instrumentation of "Charles Kynard" offers very little scope for Fritz arrangements, though most of the tunes are his. They're slight, but jazz abounds with slight originals, so, shrug. "Charles Kynard" sounds about as good as "Wah-tu-wa-zui" and "Afro-disiac" to me. As far as I know, the only cover recording Charles made was of "Soul makossa", in which he was a member of a studio group - Afrique - put together by Bob Shad specifically in order to steal sales from Manu Dibango's version, which had been a hit all over Europe. And it succeeded; Afrique's version was nearly as big a hit in the US as Manu's. If you mean by covers, recording tunes that other people have recorded, I'm not sure what the problem is. I don't think people like Duke Ellington, Horace Silver, Sonny Rollins, Percy Mayfield, Jobim, the Gershwins etc etc, ever thought that other people recording their songs was a problem.

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 well of course but kynard was covering things like "it's too late" on these albums. how many more organ versions of that tune do i want to hear? I don't know. How many? How many versions of What's going on", "Willow weep for me" or "Since I fell for you" by a tenor player do you want to hear? Or maybe it makes a difference who he is.

Soul Stream Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 I'm a big fan of Charles Kynard. I REALLY great organist who had his own distinct style. His album on Mainstream, simply titled Charles Kynard, is an absolute stone cold groove-a-thon. With Carol Kaye on bass and James Gadson on drums. REALLY bad to the bone. And like Dan mentioned...that gospel stuff he did showed he could do it ALL (if you ever had your doubts). Charles Kynard was a master of the organ.
