Simple Red

Volume Eight of Mercury's partial transfer onto CDs of its mighty Complete Keynote Collection LP set contains some wonderful Red Norvo small combo swing sessions. "Subtle Sextology," "Blues a la Red," "The Man I Love," and "Seven Come Eleven" come from some sextet sessions that sound very much like the sextet 78s that Benny Goodman was putting out around then. That figures, because Norvo participated on many of the BG sides - and so did pianist Teddy Wilson and bassist Slam Stewart; the latter gets plenty of humorous hum-scat time on these sides, too. For "Russian Lullaby," "I Got Rhythm," and "Sing Something Simple," the personnel shuffles (Wilson and Stewart remain) and expands to a septet for which Johnny Thompson writes some creative charts. Norvo plays xylophone on "Lullaby" and delivers unquenchably swinging vibraphone solos at all times…

Bringing forth the cloudy reverb of Jesus and Mary Chain and the crunchy bite of the Velvet Underground, for Bare Mutants' In the Red debut, Affliction, frontman Jered Gummere (formerly of the Ponys) meshes a cool, dreamy palette with an ear for his own brand of pop jingles, which are simple and classic-sounding but still clearly cut from his own cloth. Getting musical support from veterans like Jeanine O' Toole of the 1900s and Seth Bohn of the Mannequin Men didn't hurt, and the other performers (organist Leslie Deckard, and drummer Matt Holland) do a nice job solidifying Gummere's vision.

Scandinavian prog is yet to receive its official history – if that’s possible, given the peninsula’s rock line being as straight as a fjord. And there’s no better example of that than this Danish band whose legend crossed the regional borders and who might have been the first people in the world to use the “W.W.W.” abbreviation as the title of their 1971′s album, one of the five represented here…
