Familien From 1 Juni 2015

Canned Heat are celebrating in 2015 their 50th birthday. Since 1967 Adolfo Fito de la Parra is the drummer and Larry The Mole Taylor on bass and guitar was in periods always in the line-up. Together they are the force and musicians who keep The Heat alive; on tour and by recordings…

Jazz / Bop / Saxophone

Reissue with latest 2015 DSD remastering. Comes with liner notes. A bold little message from alto saxophonist Lenny Hambro – a very strong record that should have made him as much of a giant on his instrument as contemporary talents like Lee Konitz or Herb Geller! Hambro has some of the soulful edge of the latter, and lots of the crisp, modern chromes of the former – especially in the way he runs alongside some great guitar in the group from Dick Garcia – a player we mostly know for his work on the Dawn label at the time, but who really makes the record something special here. The rest of the combo features Wade Legge on piano, Clyde Lombardi on bass, and Mel Zelnick on rhythm – and Hambro's sax work is angular and very deft – already at the top of his game. Titles include the Legge originals "Slave Girl", "Message In Minor", "Moon Slippers", and "Hoof Beats" – plus Hambro's "Thanatopsis" and "The Lonely One".

They may have recorded three albums of crisp riff-rock in the studio, but it s onstage that the chemistry between Robin Trower and Jack Bruce really comes alive For this 2009 live DVD, they perform tracks from their album Seven Moons with telepathic intensity, locking into each other s playing ( So Far to Yesterday ) or hanging back to allow the other to shine…

Rhythm and Blues / Rock and Roll / Soul / Deep Funk / New Orleans R&B / Boogie-Woogie

Continuing their trawl through the vaults of Joe Ruffino's legendary New Orleans R&B labels Ric and Ron, Ace pairs the complete Ric and Ron recordings of Tommy Ridgley with the complete sides of the singer's friend and follower Bobby Mitchell. The reason they're paired on a single disc instead of showcased on an individual title is simple: by 2015 standards, neither cut enough material to fill out a CD. Ridgley came much closer than Mitchell, though. Between 1960 and 1963, he put out six singles on Ric, which amounts to a total of 16 songs, none of which saw much circulation outside of New Orleans due to Ruffino's preference not to license his singles to larger labels.
