DVD Roots Revisited – Maceo Parker 1991 (Rip em RMVB + Audio Rip)

“The LP ‘Roots Revisited’ is still considered a secret under wraps, but after the German tour, its insider status ought to be a thing of the past.” That was how the normally restrained Spiegel voiced it enthusiastic verdict of Maceo Parker’s newly-released jazz record, one of the top ten American jazz albums in the first four weeks of its release. After the great success of the first series of concerts, Maceo Parker and his band, including top players Alfred “Pee-Wee” Ellis (tenor saxophone), Fred Wesley (trombone), Ronald Muldrow (guitar), Larry Goldings (organ) and Jimmy Madison (drums), returned to the Stuttgart Theaterhaus in the late spring, where these excerpts were recorded on July 7, 1991–an extraordinary musical event and a milestone in the history of jazz.

Jazz Icons: Jimmy Smith Live in '69

Jazz Icons é uma coleção de DVD's que trazem os grandes do Jazz em apresentações únicas e raras.

Hammond Organ- Jimmy Smith Guitar- Eddie McFadden Drums- Charles Crosby
Foreword: In this 1969 concert, Jimmy Smith was still at the top of his game. Trim and dapper, his enthusiasm in his playing is obvious from the start. The camera angles give us special insight into how Jimmy Smith did the remarkable things he did. Watching his performance of “The Sermon” is indeed special. We are permitted to see the entire instrument. Watching his left hand walk the bass on the lower manual is to witness a technique he invented. When he begins the drone with his right thumb and begins to improvise with the remaining fingers, he gets fired up and deeply into the feeling. This is one great piece of jazz video. He was a virtuoso soloist, an innovative combo leader, a best-selling recording artist and one of the four or five greatest jazz musicians of the last fifty years. BOB PORTER WBGO Sample Liner Notes by Ashley Kahn: By 1969, Smith was a well-traveled crowd-pleaser, a seasoned headliner well known on both sides of the Atlantic. His influence had launched a jazz subgenre and was starting to be felt in the rock world in the Hammond playing of Brian Auger, Gregg Allman, Keith Emerson, Jon Lord (of Deep Purple) and Gregg Rolie (Santana). A winter tour that year found Smith performing in London, Paris and other major European cities with his standard trio format featuring Eddie McFadden, who had played guitar on more than a few of Smith’s late 1950s Blue Note sessions, and Charles Crosby, a Memphis native known for his years drumming with B.B. King and later Rahsaan Roland Kirk. It is a measure of Smith’s stature overseas that through the 1960s he was regularly contracted by France’s leading jazz impresario team to play the top venues in the country. Daniel Filipacchi and Frank Ténot had enjoyed repeated success presenting Smith in Paris’s fabled Salle Pleyel — the theater in which a long line of jazz legends had performed from Django Reinhardt and Duke Ellington to Dizzy Gillespie and Miles Davis. Many historic jazz concerts were recorded there including one by Smith — a May 28, 1965, performance released as Live In Concert on Verve’s sister label Metro. Four and a half years later, Filipacchi and Ténot booked Smith for a one-night, two-set show at the Salle. This time, it was TV cameras capturing the evening’s performance; the producer was the country’s first black television producer, Gésip Légitimus. The taping resulted in two programs broadcast on French television, Smith’s second set from that evening aired in 1969, and his first set two years later. This DVD returns the performance to its original sequence. December 1, 1969 It was the first day of the closing month of a decade that had experienced — at an increasingly rapid rate — a variety of sweeping social and cultural changes. Outside Salle Pleyel, the sounds and the look of the 1960s were unavoidable in the headlines, the music and the way of dressing. Though not in step with the colorful, dress-down fashions on the street, the Jimmy Smith Trio looked sharp in the formal wear that had been the uniform for festival and theater engagements only a few years before. The two-part performance, aided by a generous number of camera angles and close-up shots, offers an insider’s take on the dynamics of Smith’s organ trio. He frequently cedes the first solo of a tune to McFadden, the more laid-back of the two, as a means of setting up his own improvisation. Some tunes obviously have been worked out — note McFadden’s taking the B part of the “Satin Doll” melody at the close of the second set — but Smith seemed to enjoy surprising his sidemen with unexpected leaps in volume or changes in melody. Crosby’s deft switching between sticks, brushes and mallets (even tambourine at one point) speaks to the intense follow-the-leader nature of the group. Smith’s organ sound is itself a revelation. In the 1950s, when he played single note lines, he tended to keep the Hammond’s “chorus” effect switched on — adding a small quiver to the instrument’s tone — and turn off the rotor in the Leslie (which only offered an “on” or “off” option). By 1969, the Leslie came with a slow or fast speed, and Smith changed his organ sound. He cut off the chorus, which produced a straighter organ tone, and relied on the rotors on the Leslies (Smith used two cabinets onstage) set on the “slow” speed, to be a dominant factor in his overall sound. The result was a large, wavy sonority on which the chords would float. The concert also provides a look at Smith’s choice of material at the time. Many of the tunes were drawn from recent Verve albums: a mix of older standards, a recent pop hit, a few down-tempo ballads, blues numbers (including a vocal), signature jams from his Blue Note years and “Satin Doll” — the Duke Ellington nugget Smith used to signal the close of his set. Speaking of song choices: it’s intriguing to note that, though the trio was apparently not working from a planned set list, Smith devoted the first set of the evening mostly to ballads and the second to blues.) FIRST HALF Smith kicks off the performance with an upbeat version of Sonny Rollins’ “Sonnymoon For Two,” by 1969 a hard bop perennial. McFadden plays a spirited solo, neatly handing off the tune to Smith’s improvisation, and Crosby’s crisp drumming adds both spark and drive. Smith’s solo on “Sonnymoon” immediately reveals another innovation in his playing since the 1950s. He is using a more modern harmonic language, favoring a lot of “fourths” – chords constructed of the fourth interval (in contrast to traditional chords based on the third), the same idea favored by pianists Bill Evans (on Miles Davis’ Kind Of Blue) and McCoy Tyner (with John Coltrane in general). Chord voicings employing fourths are noted for producing a more abstract effect, neither major nor minor, “because they avoid the familiar ring of popular songs,” according to jazz historian and pianist Lewis Porter. Just over a minute into his solo, Smith invents a lyrical line reminiscent of “Freddie Freeloader” (also from Kind Of Blue) that utilizes fourths for one chorus, a harmonic cue that McFadden follows on guitar.   Sonnymoon For Two Days Of Wine And Roses The Sermon Alfie Satin Doll Organ Grinder’s Swing Got My Mojo Working See See Rider A Funky Blues Called I Don’t Know My Romance Satin Doll 24-page booklet Liner notes by Ashley Kahn Foreword by Bob Porter, WBGO Cover photo by Jan Persson Booklet photos by Chuck Stewart, Lee Tanner, Jan Persson Memorabilia collage Total time: 90 minutes Prévia do DVD Site Oficial Download Link Único, aproveitem, ainda está Online.

The Budos Band I (2005)

“Funk” music is forever branded as kitsch and “retro” in our pop culture, and that’s a damn shame.
Given that such music is the foundation for so much contemporary and so-called “futuristic” dance music, funk has an intrinsic timelessness. Ditch the “wonka, wonka” guitar licks, the stereotypical Blaksploitation and 70’s porn stereotypes, and all of the Me Decade’s schlock, and the music has tremendous power. “Heavy-funk,” which strips the music down to pure minimalist groove – as heard from The Meters, James Brown, and Sly Stone, to name too few – is arguably the best incarnation of how the music shoots directly into the body and soul with fewer chords than punk and enough breakbeats to supply hip-hop, jungle, and house DJs for decades. In short, heavy-funk can be pure hypnosis. Listening to the first few meters and the opening snare snap of the Meters’ “The Handclapping Song” is enough to do the job for me. The work of recent “heavy-funk” revivalists such as Sugarman Three, Breakestra, the Poets of Rhythm, and Sharon Jones and the Dap-kings faithfully swing that therapist’s watch and retain the soul without succumbing to telling the music as a punchline that befell to the music in Hollywood and Baby Boomer “what were we thinking back then?” kitsch.
Here comes The Budos Band, walking off a Staten Island ferry and armed with chops they sharpened after school at a community center. There is no amateurishness here; their instrumentals could’ve been performed in 1970 as much as 2005. The 11-piece ensemble’s eponymous debut album, recorded in just three nights, is one of this year’s best dance records, embodying funk’s best elements and keeping the mind locked in their hands throughout most of its too-brief 37 minutes. Although their take on heavy-funk is certainly up there with their label mates on Brooklyn’s Daptone, namely the Sugarman Three and Sharon Jones, they also enrich their attack with deft afro-beat dynamics and hornwork. The sound is equal parts Meters and Fela Kuti as the band follows a simple, cowbell-driven cadence and let the brass sing. The psych tip that graces their guitar melodies, their flute’s trails of echo and tribal rhythms that can lead any Pied Piper march from the club and onto the streets, only augment these touchstones.
Opener, “Up From the South” begins with a “she loves me/she loves me not” bassline. The Afro-funk percussion then struts in, while the brass section and organ riffs all announce the band’s name loud enough to be heard across three states. The following “T.I.B.W.F.” has a stronger groove with a grouchy baritone sax stamping its feet after what seems to be a pitiful breakup as the brasses follow it and repeatedly shout “get over it, dammit!” But even with the raucousness of it all, the trumpet solo is calm, placing an arm on the Romeo’s shoulder. Elsewhere, the band revives Fela’s ghost in the brilliant space out trance of “Eastbound,” and steadily glides through the Latin funk of “Monkey See, Monkey Do.” They later begin “King Charles” with them laughing at a member’s shoddy impression of a monarch before they pepper out a groove akin to an after-hours nap on the last subway train of the night, watching the streetlights dance across the window.
Unfortunately, a few of the slow groove pieces tend to walk in circles. The Budos are at their best when chasing a beat like frenetic but calming “Budos Theme,” and are able fuel themselves enough to launch far into the sky with just three notes in “The Volcano Song.” They amazingly improve on a funk classic in their cover of Sly and the Family Stone’s everyman hedonism of “Sing a Simple Song.” Their full 11-piece orchestration and three-dimensional production all sound like the song is being heard through the walls of a Garden of Eden that grows in Staten Island.

Much Les – Les McCann 1969

After the success of Swiss Movement, McCann — primarily a piano player — began to emphasize his rough-hewn vocals more. He became an innovator in the soul jazz style, merging jazz with funk, soul and world rhythms; much of his early 1970s music prefigures the great Stevie Wonder albums of the decade. He was among the first jazz musicians to include electric piano, clavinet, and synthesizer in his music.
In 1971, he and Harris were part of a group of soul, R&B, and rock performers — including Wilson Pickett, The Staple Singers, Santana, and Ike & Tina Turner — who flew to Accra, Ghana for a historic 14-hour concert before more than 100,000 Ghanaians. The March 6 concert was recorded for the documentary film Soul To Soul. In 2004 the movie was released on DVD with an accompanying soundtrack album.
Les discovered Roberta Flack and obtained an audition which resulted in a recording contract with Atlantic Records.

This is Fats Domino! – Fats Domino 1981

Imperial Records era (1949–1962)
Domino first attracted national attention with "The Fat Man" in 1949 on Imperial Records. This song is an early rock and roll record, featuring a rolling piano and Domino doing "wah-wah" vocalizing over a fat back beat. It sold over a million copies and is widely regarded as the first rock and roll record to do so.
Fats Domino released a series of hit songs with producer and co-writer Dave Bartholomew, saxophonists Herbert Hardesty and Alvin "Red" Tyler and drummer Earl Palmer. Other notable and long-standing musicians in Domino's band were saxophonists Reggie Houston, Lee Allen, and Fred Kemp, who was also Domino's trusted bandleader. Domino finally crossed into the pop mainstream with "Ain't That a Shame" (1955), which hit the Top Ten, though Pat Boone characteristically hit #1 with a milder cover of the song that received wider radio airplay in a racially-segregated era. Domino would eventually release 37 Top 40 singles, "Whole Lotta Loving" and "Blue Monday" among them.
Domino's first album, Carry on Rockin', was released under the Imperial imprint, #9009, in November 1955 and subsequently reissued as Rock and Rollin' with Fats Domino in 1956.[1] Combining a number of his hits along with some tracks which had not yet been released as singles,[1] the album went on under its alternate title to reach #17 on the "Pop Albums" chart.[2]
His 1956 up-tempo version of the 1940 Vincent Rose, Al Lewis & Larry Stock song, "Blueberry Hill" reached #2 in the Top 40, was #1 on the R&B charts for 11 weeks, and was his biggest hit. "Blueberry Hill" sold more than 5 million copies worldwide in 1956-57. The song had earlier been recorded by Gene Autry, and Louis Armstrong among many others. He had further hit singles between 1956 and 1959, including "When My Dreamboat Comes Home" (Pop #14), "I'm Walkin'" (Pop #4), "Valley of Tears" (Pop #8), "It's You I Love" (Pop #6), "Whole Lotta Loving" (Pop #6), "I Want to Walk You Home" (Pop #8), and "Be My Guest" (Pop #8).
Fats appeared in two films released in 1956: Shake, Rattle & Rock![3] and The Girl Can't Help It.[4] On December 18, 1957, Domino's hit "The Big Beat" was featured on Dick Clark's American Bandstand.
Domino continued to have a steady series of hits for Imperial through early 1962, including "Walkin' to New Orleans" (1960) (Pop #6), co-written by Bobby Charles, and "My Girl Josephine" (Pop #14) from the same year. After Imperial Records was sold to outside interests in early 1963, Domino left the label: "I stuck with them until they sold out", he claimed in 1979. In all, Domino recorded over 60 singles for the label, placing 40 songs in the top 10 on the R&B charts, and scoring 11 top 10 singles on the pop charts. Twenty-two of Domino's Imperial singles were double-sided hits.

Reunion Live at Madison Square Garden 1972 - Dion and the Belmonts

Dion and the Belmonts was a leading American vocal group of the late 1950s. The group formed when Dion DiMucci, lead singer, (b. July 18, 1939), joined The Belmonts - Carlo Mastrangelo, baritone, (b. October 5, 1938), Freddie Milano, second tenor, (born August 22, 1939), and Angelo D'Aleo, first tenor,(born February 3, 1940) in late 1957.
After an unsuccessful first single, the group was signed to Laurie Records. Their breakthrough came when "I Wonder Why" made #22 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and the group appeared for the first time on American Bandstand. They followed it with the ballads "No One Knows" (#19) and "Don’t Pity Me" (#40).
This success won Dion and the Belmonts their first major tour in late 1958, with The Coasters, Buddy Holly and Bobby Darin, and this was followed up by the "Winter Dance Party" tour with Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper. On 2 February 1959, after playing at the Surf Ballroom, Dion decided that he could not afford the $36 cost of a flight to the next venue. The plane crashed; Holly, Valens, The Big Bopper, and the pilot were killed on 3 February 1959, shortly after midnight. However, the tour continued, with Jimmy Clanton and Bobby Vee being added to the bill as replacements.[citation needed]
In March 1959, Dion and the Belmonts’ next single, "A Teenager in Love", was released, making #5 in the Billboard Hot 100 and #28 in the UK Singles Chart, and this was followed by an album, Presenting Dion and the Belmonts. Their biggest hit, "Where or When", was released in November 1959, and reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100. However, in early 1960, Dion checked into a hospital for heroin addiction, a problem he had had since his mid-teens. Other singles released for the group that year were less successful. In addition, there were musical and financial disputes between Dion and members of the Belmonts. In October 1960, Dion decided to quit for a solo career. The Belmonts also continued to release records, but with less success.
Dion and the Belmonts reunited in 1966 for the unsuccessful album Together Again on ABC Records, and again in 1972 for a one-off show at Madison Square Garden, recorded and released as a live album.
In 2000 Dion and the Belmonts were inducted in The Vocal Group Hall of Fame.

In the early 1970’s there was a renewed interest in America for oldies music from the 1950’s. You can thank “American Graffiti” and the TV show “Happy Days” for helping the revival thrive. And with this increased interest came a desire for fans from the sock hop era to see their heroes in concert one more time and for new fans to discover what all of the fuss was about. Soon, a series of “rock and roll revival” concerts was held at New York City’s Madison Square Garden in 1972 and 1973 with A-list pop music stars, vocal groups and teen idols from the 50’s and early 60’s sharing the bill. Fans loved it.
Of course, legends like Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Rick Nelson, Fats Domino, Chubby Checker, and Bo Diddley had never stopped performing once they hit it big, and were huge draws for the revival shows they appeared at, but groups like Danny and the Juniors, Bill Haley and his Comets and The Shirelles, among others had to be coaxed out of retirement. One of these concerts was filmed and released theatrically by Columbia Pictures (1973’s “Let The Good Times Roll”). Nelson later sung about his not-so-positive experience at one such “Garden Party.”
But one major act from the bygone era held out. Dion & The Belmonts refused all overtures to reunite. The legendary Bronx, New York-based vocal group had earned a reputation not only for topping the charts but for creating some of the most vital and exciting doo-wop music on the American scene. With songs such as “I Wonder Why,” "A Teenager In Love" and "Where or When," Dion and The Belmonts earned their place in the history books, while the group's pioneering role in the development of rock 'n' roll underscored their enduring accomplishments. They toured extensively and were co-headliners on the ill-fated Winter Dance Party in 1959, the tour that took the lives of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and The Big Bopper. Lead singer Dion DiMucci was, in fact, offered a seat on the plane that went down "the day the music died” but declined.
By 1960 Dion and the Belmonts had enjoyed Top 40 success with seven singles, and then Dimucci went solo. In all Dion claimed 13 Top 40 hits as a solo performer, and in his career (solo and with the Belmonts) had 11 songs in the Top 10.
With the arrival in the U.S. of The Beatles in early 1964 musical tastes changed almost overnight and Dion and his contemporaries were out of work.
In the late spring of 1972, after numerous invitations to appear, the elusive Dion DiMucci finally agreed to reunite with the original members of the Belmonts in a one-off performance as part of a rock and roll revival show to be held at Madison Square Garden. They had not performed on stage together in 12 years. The date was June 2, 1972. The arena was sold out and the atmosphere was electric. For this magical night Billy Vera and his band would be the backing band. “It was like an earthquake. You could literally feel the stage shake.” - Billy Vera.

The BlackByrds Discografia Parte 1 de 4

The Blackbyrds were a jazz-funk group with thick R&B streaks running down their backs.
Assembled by Donald Byrd in 1974, the group's original members:
Percussionist Pericles "Perk" Jacobs, Jr.
Drummer Keith Killgo
Keyboardist Kevin Toney
Reeds player Allan Barnes
Bassist Joe Hall
Guitarist Barney Perry
Were mined from Howard University's music department, where the doctor and jazz legend was an instructor.
(Other key players included guitarist Orville Saunders and saxophonist/flautist Steve Johnson.)
During the Blackbyrds' nearly decade-long existence, the group cut a handful of LPs
(1973's The Blackbyrds, 1974's Flying Start, 1975's City Life, 1976's Unfinished Business, 1977's Action, 1980's Better Days).
Scored films (1975's Cornbread, Earl and Me); and supported artists like B.B. King, Mandrill, and Roberta Flack.
"Walking in Rhythm," "Rock Creek Park," and "Happy Music" are their three best-known cuts;
they have remained underground club classics, and they have been kept alive, in part, through sampling.
The group's catalog has been overhauled and reissued a number of times;
multiple best-ofs have been released (Fantasy's Greatest Hits is the strongest and most thorough),
and most of the group's full-length output has been put out on CD through two-fers.
As far as outside activities were considered, Barney Perry released a solo album under the name Blair in 1978
(through his own Solar Sound imprint). The remaining members' involvements are far too extensive to list.

Save the Children (1973)
September 19, 1973
Stars 'Save the Children'
A. H. WEILER
Published: September 19, 1973

"Save the Children," the movie spinoff (and theme) of last year's Black Exposition conducted by Operation PUSH
(People to Save Humanity) in Chicago's Amphitheater, has the virtues of being forthright,
unabashedly emotional and entertaining. And, if two hours of more than 30 black artists doing their musical things
occasionally seem repetitive, the heart and craft of the performers
(and speakers, including the Rev. Jesse Jackson, head of PUSH) project enough soul and meaning to captivate viewers.

The name "acts," who contributed their services to "Save the Children," now at the Criterion, Beekman and Apollo Theaters,
constitute enough talent to fill a month of Sundays on the stage of Harlem's Apollo Theater.
And they neatly complement the intercut arts, crafts and commerce displayed at the Exposition as well
as the footage of Chicago's blacks, their churches, schools, slums and playgrounds.

Credit Stan Lathan, the director; Matt Robinson, the producer, and George Bowers and Paul Evans, the film's editors,
with making "Save the Children" move briskly and with considerable impact in promoting the hope for the future of its
"Children." But it is really the performers in this teeming "cast" who make this bulging package of jazz, blues, rock,
gospel, ballads and honest proseletyzing a gratifyingly varied and persuasive entertainment.

SAVE THE CHILDREN, directed by Stan Lathan; narrative written and spoken by Matt Robinson; editors,
George Bowers and Paul Evans; produced by Mr. Robinson; executive producer, Clarence Avant;
released by Paramount Pictures. At the Apollo Theater, 253 W. 125th Street; Beekman Theater,
65th Street at Second Avenue, and the Criterion Theater, Broadway at 45th Street.
Running time: 123 minutes. This film is classified G.

With: Marvin Gaye, the Staple Singers, the Temptations, the Chi Lites, the Main Ingredient, the O'Jays, Isaac Hayes,
Zulema, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, the Cannonball Adderly Quintet, the Push Mass Choir, Albertina Walker, Loretta Oliver,
the Rev. James Cleveland, Bill Withers, Curtis Mayfield, Sammy Davis Jr., Roberta Flack, Quincy Jones,
Gladys Knight and the Pips, Jerry Butler, Brenda Lee Eager, the Ramsey Lewis Trio, Nancy Wilson, the Jackson Five,
Jackie Verdell and Dick Gregory. Fonte: The New York Times

Trata-se de um documentário músical feito com artistas da Motown, nos mesmos moldes do Festival de Watts, o Wattstax feito pela gravadora Stax, só que não alcançou o mesmo sucesso.

"Save The Children" double live album contains great live recordings from fabulous names like Marvin Gaye,
the Staple Singers, the Temptations, the Chi Lites, the Main Ingredient, the O'Jays, Isaac Hayes, Zulema,
the Rev. Jesse Jackson, the Cannonball Adderly Quintet, the Push Mass Choir, Albertina Walker,
Loretta Oliver, the Rev. James Cleveland, Bill Withers, Curtis Mayfield, Sammy Davis Jr., Roberta Flack,
Quincy Jones, Gladys Knight and the Pips, Jerry Butler, Brenda Lee Eager, the Ramsey Lewis Trio,
Nancy Wilson, the Jackson Five, Jackie Verdell and Dick Gregory.
Everything based of course on the documentary "Save The Children" which chronicles all the above artists
that appeared during Jesse Jackon's Operation PUSH exposition held in 1972 in Chicago.
Since I don't know too much about the "Save The Children" documentary, I can't give you any more information
about it to be honest, but the most important thing of course, as always, is the music.
The one thing I thought was interesting though, is that bits and pieces of Rev. Jesse Jackson's speeches
on this gem are also to be found on the WattStax albums from the same period.
