Frederick - Gentle (Calling Your Name) - 19-Sep-09 08:17 PM
Never knew why this 12" isnt worth more than it is for being a private press. The lead track "Gentile" is a forgettable ballad, no idea why they pressed this up on 12" as a lead track. However, the B-Side, "Move on", would fit right in with something in the Patrick Adams, Leroy Burgess camp mixed with some Slave for good measure. 122 beats per minute of boogie funk. Highly suggested on 12" for better press.
Dizzy Gillespie - Soul & Salvation - 29-May-08 09:17 PM
Absolute sleeper lp from Dizzy on small subsidiary or private, Tribute. James Moody helps out on sax bringing that Cadet vibe. Drums are tight as hell. They were going for a pop sound with a gospel backbone, so its an odd cross-breed that really works somehow. Sounds like they were trying to make him hip to a younger audience, but they missed it by a couple of generations. Finally its getting some notice. I enjoy the whole lp but "Stomped And Wasted" is really just unbeatable. I paid $30 dollars for my copy and I felt that was a bargain as you rarely see them and when you do they can reach the $100 mark.
