Soul Jazz Grooves

[fange]

Oh yeah, that's a good one. Makes me miss Phil Balboa's presence around these parts though.

Where is Balboa?

Where is Balboa?

He's on a bit of paternity leave from BCB, i think. Hope he drops in again soon though.

Here's one for him...

Here's one more in line with the rest of the thread, from the early '60s, and one I'm guessing few folks here know. It's the A.F.O. Executives, which consisted of Harold Battiste and all those studio cats who played on Sam Cooke's latter day sessions, Dr. John's Night Tripper album, and a whole bunch of other stuff. For the first few minutes, it swings along in a vein similar to "Sidewinder," but then at about 4:00, it shifts to a place where all the guys' New Orleans roots show forth a bit more, with a percussion heavy, call-and-response section.

Trust me, you'll love it:



Hell yeah!

I know this one from the Gumbo Stew comp. They list this one as being by Alvin "Red" Tyler. Strange, anyway it's a great track!

[T. Willy Rye]

Nice work fellas!

He plays tenor sax on it. Harold Batiste is on piano/alto, Melvin Lastie on comet, Peter Badie on bass, and John Boudreau on drums. Tammy Lynn also does vocals on a few tracks; folks might know her from the liner notes for Exile on Main Street, to which she added background vox on a few tracks.

'Red' Tyler, what a legend! Played with practically every big name to go through New Orleans and their cousins too.

Maybe leaning slightly more to the jazz funk rather than soul jazz side of the dial, but damn it it's Cedar Walton, so you know it's gonna have a whole mess of soulful goodness...

Love his playing on Lee Morgan's album The Rajah

And speaking of piano how about some of This Here?

That's a great one. Cedar Walton doesn't get as many props these days, but his contributions both as a writer and player on heaps of those classic 60s albums are wonderful.

And speaking of piano how about some of This Here?

Great minds, Brian - check out p.3 of this here thread

This isn't available in MY country, but I hope it's available in YOURS. Harold Mabern's smokin' hot cover of "I Want You Back"



Here's a taste for us gringos:

Oh man, if they won't show you that in your country you need to emigrate. That's mighty fine. Sure sounds like Lee Morgan on the trumpet when he's doing those little repeated trills, which wouldn't surprise me knowing their history together. And whoever is on tenor almost steals the whole kit and kaboodle. Will be investigating further, cheers Count.

Edit: Damn, just checked on Amazon and they're going from $114!

Y'all guys about ready to throw down again?


(we must have had this already, but it never gets old)

Good to see the best thread on BCB bobbing up like Lazarus again. You can't keep a good groove down.
