Disc 2 of 2.  Sure, this disc has Big T and Pee Wee on hand, but one's tolerance for the vocal stylings of Red McKenzie will likely be a determining factor in the amount of enjoyment one might glean from the Dec. '44 session included here.

I'm still listening to Honkers & Screamers...

This is the worst CD jacket I know of, but music is good.  Mostly from the Vee-Jay vault.  Including Julian Dash, David Shipp Combo (incl. the legendary Porter Kilbert and the young Andrew Hill), Tommy Dean, Wardell Gray, Big Jay McNeely, Al Smith, Arnett Cobb and Nobel "Thin Man" Watts.

The roughest, but VERY exhilarating, band I've ever heard

Los Barbaros del Ritmo - Palo de Mayo - Andino 1971

The band's from Bluefields, Venezuela, the centre of Palo de Mayo music. You can't not get up and dance.

'Scuse, I've gotta get up and dance.

MG

PS Oh well, I suppose Erkey Grant and the Eerwigs, a London pub band of the early sixties, might have been rougher, but it's sixty year since I saw them. 

 

 

 

 

I share your enthusiasm, but actually they are from Nicaragua.

The Complete Norman Granz Jam Sessions box set | Communication Arts

Listening to this as a companion to the book I'm reading. But I have to wonder these must have been produced after the fact, since the first is from 1953. His Jam Sessions were his beginnings and they predate his JATP concerts, which started in 1944. And where (JATP) he applied the principle of his jam sessions to a bigger frame. But the jam sessions are great. With all the usual suspects, including Benny Carter, Charlie Parker, Flip Phillips, Oscar Peterson, Barney Kessel, Sweets Edison and many others. And I just discovered this is already a sought after piece, that was first released in 2005, 6 or 7.
