It is of Algiers newest release, There Is No Year.

Produced by experimental artists like Randall Dunn [Sunn O))), Earth] and Ben Greenberg [Zs, Uniform] the band tries to scale back their rock sound and push minimalist industrialist sound.  The band has been better, but definitely check them out for yourselves.

Album Review: Jon Batiste - Anatomy of Angels: Live at the Village Vanguard

Jon Batiste 

Anatomy of Angels

*** out of *****

The first of two live albums from Jon Batiste recorded during his 2018 six night residency at The Village Vanguard in New York City, Anatomy of Angels captures Batiste and his band as they move through elegant passages of sound and scope. 

Opening with his original composition "Creative" finds Batiste leading things as his Stay Human bassist Phillip Kuehn and drummer Joe Saylor support in acoustic trio fashion.  The tune shows Batiste elegant piano leads before shaking stomp breaks, complete with tambourine shakes, lively up the number.

The first guest is invited to sing on a version of Ray Noble's classic "The Very Thought of You" as Lake Street Drive's Rachael Price delivers the standard in a smooth and understated manner. The torch song breaks up the rivers of flowing piano keys and adds a different dynamic to the short record. 

Unlike some of Batiste other offerings, or his Late Show television theatrics, Anatomy of Angels is old school jazz (no R&B or hip hop here) in the vein of his musical idol Thelonious Monk. Batiste pays tribute to Monk's style with his own tune "Dusk Train To Doha" before expanding his band to an eight piece and tackling Monk's own "Round Midnight" with grace and power.   

The extra players (trumpeters Giveton Gelin and Jon Lampley, saxophonists Patrick Bartley and Tivon Pennicott) stick around for the most successful effort, the adventurous and flowing title number. After a blissful start a flurry of keys begins to quicken the pace as tempos shift and adjust around the excellent drumming and trumpet work. The most natural and exciting number presented on this live album.

Even with an expanded band Batiste remains the focal point, as his piano runs are loud and constantly moving, giving the supporting players the notes to rally around. Batiste easily slips into the role of bandleader, and after his huge Hollywood Africans release this lighter throwback live album is a mellow listen.

Dylan Cover #411 Gary Burton Quartet "I Want You" Live

In this ongoing Monday Series we will be exploring various artists versions of Bob Dylan song's. Today's tune is a live cover by Gary Burton Quartet playing "I Want You" 

Jazzy January has invade Mondays! All this month we will check out various artists covering Dylan in a Jazz vibe, can you dig it daddy-o?

Thoughts on Original:
(From the first time we tackled a cover of this song)
A song that fits the Gemini Dylan like a glove; direct lyrical yearning chorus with verses that meander about introducing characters like roadblocks in the way of true love. It was the last tune written for the mega Blonde on Blonde and a song he and others (it was Al Kooper's favorite) admired so much he almost titled the album after it. Never a track that jumps to the top of peoples "favorites" or "best of" Dylan lists but one that really nails what the artist is all about in some of the simplest terms.

Cover:

Thoughts on Cover Artist:
The vibe player Gary Burton and his Quartet are solid jazz men but also new to RtBE, we will have to dig a bit deeper on them in the future.

Thoughts on Cover:
The group gets after it as they play an energetic and bass driven attack on the tune. Very melodic and grooving this is a damn good cover for our Jazzy January taken from the band's live Carnegie Hall concert.  

Happy MLK Day: March on Washington 1963

This is a tradition here at RtBE. While we are including this in our Monday Dylan series, this is a necessary break from the routine.

We here at RtBE have lots of heroes and most stem from America's hard fought past. We have talked about the godfather of this site, we will probably touch on Lincoln at some point, but the man who we celebrate today is right up there both of them. Martin Luther King Jr. is an American who deserves to be honored right alongside the greatest our country has ever produced.

We are happy to dedicate this Monday to him and to help celebrate the day we will post a 10 minute clip of Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and others performing songs at one of the most monumental days for democracy, the1963 March on Washington DC.

Dylan plays "When The Ship Comes In" with Baez helping out, "Only A Pawn In Their Game" solo and joins a group for "Keep Your Eyes On The Prize".



Have a great day and make sure to watch this, MLK's last prophetic public words:


It is still so incredibly moving.

The full speech is located here and worth listening to as well and you can read this amazing writing which unfortunately is still relevant today from King as well:

Album Review: Mel Stirling - Standing To Fall (EP)

Mel Stirling

Standing To Fall

*** out of *****

The first solo offering from Los Angeles-based Australian artist, Mel Stirling is titled Standing to Fall and it is a rocking effort that soars with arena ready riffs and singalong hooks.

A throw back to an alt-rock 90's sound the record is chock full of ringing guitars, layers of production and metallic heaviness. Stirling's voice rises above it all with clear power as the EP kicks off with "Slipping Slowly", a straight ahead grungy rocker which adds layers of distortion and power to close while "Leave It Behind" switches gears and moves to pop rock with an upbeat strum, synths and a bouncy low end.

The title track is the most nuanced on the EP as pianos and army of guitars (acoustic and electric) overpower everything but Stirling's soaring vocals; if anything there is too much crammed into the song resulting in an extra weighty five and half minutes. "Pain and Waiting" stays dramatic, but is more successful as it strips back the guitar layers and increases the piano work, ominous undertones and soaring vocals.

The production is top notch, having been recorded and mastered at Alchemix Studios in Brisbane’s West End, Australia. Stirling's voice is the clear star, however sometimes the overloaded musical backing takes away from her strength on the record.

"Kamikaze" calls to mind some of the rock epics from Guns N' Roses Use Your Illusion days with drawn out drama over heavy drums and increasing instrumentation before album closer "Here And Now" wraps up Standing to Fall back on the pop rock front with shimmering guitar lines proving Mel Stirling can go both direct or over the top with her alt-rock style.

2020 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival Artist Announcement

The lineup for the 2020 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival has been announced!

Here is the video with the classic Dr John jam "Right Place, Wrong Time" as the soundtrack:


We got a few of our predictions right and a few wrong (Can't believe we forgot about the Black Crowes reunion), but this year seems really solid top to bottom.

Here are a few artists playing to get you in the mood:

Album Review: Branford Marsalis Quartet - The Secret Between The Shadow And The Soul

Branford Marsalis Quartet

The Secret Between The Shadow And The Soul

**** out of *****

Banford Marsalis has been crafting excellent acoustic jazz for decades now and his newest release continues this trend. The Secret Between The Shadow And The Soul tackles originals and covers with a relaxed cool, even when things really get out there.

The quartet, pianist Joey Calderazzo, bassist Eric Revis, and drummer Justin Faulkner have an easy going musical understanding and while Marsalis may be the marquee name, this is clearly a collective as each artist is vital to the songs.

The most adventurous number kicks off the record as the band tackles the Revis written tune "Dance of the Evil Toys". The piano and bass set the tone before Branford's horn enters, the tempo picks up and chaos pokes it's head in and out as the track rumbles forward. Calderazzo's piano solo towards the finale is the highlight of the opening effort and the veteran piano player is truly the standout MVP of this record, writing two numbers and playing brightly on all of them.

His smooth piano work is showcased during both his original ballads "Conversation Among The Ruins" and the mellow mood piece "Cianna" which displays a Spanish flair. A take on Eric Hill's "Snake Hip Waltz" is yet another successful outing as again Calderazzo shines along with the vibrating bass work of Revis. Marsalis and Faulkner come alive during the pumping "Nilaste" which is a whirlwind of sound as yet again Calderazzo's piano puts a pin in things.

The Marsalis led blues infused "Life Filtering from the Water Flowers" is a somber piece with some direct playing from the saxophone legend but the album closing rendition of Keith Jarrett's "The Windup" finds the band having the most fun out of any of the tracks here.

Starting with lively piano work the drums kick up as bebop horn fills flow effortlessly. The band navigates sharp angles, musical changes and groovy passages as it spreads its wings and really get after it to close this excellent record.

Over the hour of exciting music presented on The Secret Between The Shadow And The Soul  the Branford Marsalis Quartet prove they are game for anything and experts in the smooth, rough and all textures in-between.

(This album also made Glide Magazine's Top 20 Jazz Releases of 2019)

NOLA Jazzfest 2020, Artist Predictions

The lineup for the 2019 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival will be announced tomorrow but RtBE got the early scoop...

Actually no we don't...but since it is fun to predict, lets look into the crystal ball and guess who will be and who should be playing.

We will exclude the brass bands and local acts (even though they are truly the main reason we go) including nationally touring NOLA acts like Irma Thomas, Kermit Ruffins, Big Sam,  Galactic, Trombone Shorty all the Brass Bands who will all be there.

Also we are obviously skipping the great jazz, blues and gospel acts who will be the foundation of the festival in their respective tents. Lets just talk about the bigger national touring artists for now....We will focus more on locals closer to the show.

To get in the southern festive NOLA mood, here is a great video done by Jeronimo Acero that my friend the fantastic Lu Brow sent north to warm me up during the winter.

a glimpse of LOUISIANA from Jeronimo Acero on Vimeo.

Now on to the predictions....

New Orleans JazzFest Artist Announcement Coming Thursday

The best festival in America announce their headliners this Thursday as the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival will reveal their headliners in just two days.

We will have our predictions tomorrow but here is hoping the festival continues to deliver the goods with their big name acts.

The truth is RtBE has been attending the festival for 11 straight years now and the real reason to go is not Bruce Springsteen or Stevie Wonder (both of who who we have seen play the Fest in the past). It is because of the local acts who don't tour, the food, the Gospel/Blues/Jazz tents and the over arching great vibes that emanate from the stage.

We will get to the big acts with guesses tomorrow but for today lets showcase a few live sets from local artists and the food to get in the mood:

Album Review: Futurebirds - Teamwork

Futurebirds

Teamwork

***and1/2 out of *****

The veteran Athens, GA outfit Futurebirds newest release Teamwork is a delightful mixing of Americana, Psychedelic country and good old fashion rock and roll as it works its way through twelve tracks complete with harmonies, horns, guitars and shining examples of successful songwriting.

The band, Thomas Johnson, Johnny Lundock, Carter King, Brannen Miles, and Daniel Womack, work as a true collective with each member contributing to the writing of songs, harmonies and lead vocals. The overall sound from track to track shifts with various influences seeping in, but the southern twang and steel guitar is never far from the center.

The group has a large Wilco influence as they work in the alt-country ramble and steel guitars for “My Broken Arm” but even better is the yearning-to-soaring adventure of “Wandering Minds”, which digs deep emotionally. “Picking Up Strangers” would be at home in a Drive-By Trucker live set while “Dream, Fam!” amps up the bass work and horns reminiscent of successful My Morning Jacket outings and “Trippin” injects a bit of a Tom Petty pop rock influence into the radio friendly jam.

While those influences are all positive, the band makes its own mark on the excellent “Killing Ground” which deals with addiction around raspy vocals and shimmering guitars while album opener “CBL” expertly uses glimmering guitar lines, ringing harmonies, country swagger and a stout back beat to recall joys of eras past.

The band recorded Teamwork while on tour all over the country and at times the production can sound muddle with vocals pushed to the back or layered under fuzzy layers of instrumentation, echoes and effects. An example is the southern soul displayed on “Wear It Out” which blares successfully, but crisper production would reward with even better results. However, experimental closer “Waiting On A Call” works well with that overloaded style, crafting an electronic sonic journey.

One of Futurebirds strongest overall efforts of their career, Teamwork is easy going while posing emotional questions, taking things as they come while delivering tunes for the road trip of life.

Dylan Cover #410 Brad Mehldau & Chris Thile "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right" Live

In this ongoing Monday Series we will be exploring various artists versions of Bob Dylan song's. Today's tune is a live cover by Brad Mehldau & Chris Thile playing " Don't Think Twice, It's All Right"

Jazzy January has invade Mondays! All this month we will check out various artists covering Dylan in a Jazz vibe, can you dig it daddy-o? 

Thought's on Original:
From the first time we reviewed a cover of this tune:
This song is so iconic and flat out awesome, even people who dislike Dylan have to enjoy this tune right? Biting and yet not bitter, a toss off of the grandest proportions, "Don' Think Twice, It's All Right" is epic and yet so straight forwardly simple. It easily ranks as one of the bard's best works, truly a classic and has been covered by so many people in so many ways.
Cover:


Thoughts on Cover Artist:
This is our first time hearing Brad Mehldau play. We featured Chris Thile in this series once before.

Thoughts on Cover:
A great musical duet between piano and mandolin with Thile singing excellently. A very cool jazz influenced version of this oft covered tune.

Album Review: Son Swagga - Dark Magic

Son Swagga

Dark Magic

***and1/2 out of *****

The Dutch collective Son Swagga is a nine piece outfit who get after it by tossing funk, reggae, jazz, rock and psych into a pot then blend the ingredients for hours on end. The second full length release from the band titled Dark Magic is all about the groove as it rolls out killer sounds fit for late night jam sessions. 

The opening title track sets the tone with a funk bass and rock overtures that ebb and flow around synth flourishes and a huge mid song horn solo, an invigorating start to Dark Magic. The follow ups "Namensi" and "Wayra" veer more towards smooth jazz with rolling textures and sounds and the group never sounds hurried or scattered, letting the groove dominate.

The organ leads the way for "Neith" which amps up the percussion and horn blasts as it swells resulting in one of the highlights on the record while "Sage" is a softer excursion. The funk gets picked back up on the pumping "Nahuel"another bright spot on a record full of them while album closer "Golem" starts off ethereal before moving slightly towards free jazz improvisation to wrap up the strong effort. 

The band (Felix Back - Keys, Robin Engelhard - Electric Guitar, Azubike Onwuka - Electric Bass, Jonathan Szegedi - Drums, Yannick van ter Beek - Percussion, Bo Floor - Trumpet, Andrius Dereviancenko - Tenor Saxophone, Dirk Zandvliet - Baritone Saxophone, Alex van Abeelen - Trombone) work together to shine brightly throughout Dark Magic, a smooth and exciting funky jazz release.

Album Review: Neil Young and Crazy Horse - Colorado

Neil Young and Crazy Horse

Colorado

** out of *****

Last year it was unexpectedly announced that the muse had struck Neil Young and he decided to record a new Crazy Horse album with Nils Lofgren coming back on-board filling in for Frank "Poncho" Sampedro. The recording like all of Neil's works happened fairly spontaneously, capturing the outfit's woolly sound in the moment. Unfortunately unlike his best work with the Horse, the spirit may be willing but the body just doesn't respond as it once did.

Things are limp, tepid, and soft, scattered for even Crazy Horse's notoriously one take friendly standards. Perhaps on the back of the surprisingly better with age Psychedelic Pill too much was expected from this offering, but the band works best on the quick stripped down country ditties and never get to the patented stomp and wail of prime Horse.

The reflective "Olden Days" is the best of the soothing bunch with buzzing guitar tone, focused lyrics, harmonies and sense of purpose and longing. The jingle-jangle country piano tones of "Eternity" are a nice touch while "Milky way" is slightly more expansive and delicate using Billy Talbot's bass to move things positively forward.

The lone extended workout is the scattered to the point of gibberish "She Showed Me Love", which feels as if it was done in one take with the band not knowing where they were going. Usually this is where the magic happens with Crazy Horse, but not on this outing, the plodding drums and sketchy at best guitars just wobble around Young's lyrics about mother earth and old white guys.

The track "Help Me Lose My Mind" sums up this effort. It contains all the prime ingredients; grimy guitar riffs, paranoid Uncle Neil lyrics, heavy bass and drums, but things never sync up to a larger whole. The track plods along before sputtering out without reaching any sort of heights while still reminding of great efforts past. 

The truth is, anytime spent with Crazy Horse is always enjoyable to RtBE's ears, but Colorado seems to be proof that the silver and gold of albums past has tapped out. While Young is the ultimate surprising rocker, and rumor has it the band recorded a host of songs during this session, hopes aren't running high to a return to form from the aging noise rockers.

Happy 6th Anniversary to Angels & Vagabonds Debut Release

Hard to believe @angelsvagabonds released our debut effort, The A&V EP six years ago today.

It has been fun writing about music on various websites and publications over the last fifteen plus years, but nothing beats the act of creating music, playing it live and recording it. Our first EP was an excellent experience, a huge learning process for me personally, and the whole band are still very proud of the final result.

From the cover photo that stayed exactly as Bruno_Pek_ shot it, to the great production from our good friend Glen to the contributions of everyone involved The A&V EP is a joy to remember. More importantly, we still like listening to it and you can do that now.

You can download from our bandcamp site, you can buy it from iTunes, stream it on Spotify or below. As always, thanks for reading, and on this day I can say thanks for listening to my music.

Album Review: Junius Paul - Ism

Junius Paul

Ism

***and 1/2 out of *****

From the opening of the intense "You Are Free To Choose" Junius Paul and his fellow players announce that they are a force of nature, kicking off Ism with an intense flurry of notes and scales. The track is overloaded with sounds as the acoustic bass player leads the charge but there are horns, pianos and drums all contributing to the maelstrom.

Throughout Ism Paul plays with a host of Chicago (and beyond) Jazz players from various years past, but the most recent band, which started off the record, just may be the strongest as Vincent Davis, Justin Dillard & Corey Wilkes all show their range. The foursome get super funky during the striding gallop of "Georgia", avant garde with the noise collection of "Twelve Eighteen West", frantic on the scattering speed of "Collant Denier" and let the low end rumble for "Two Minute Warnings" complete with soaring horn lines.

Other older live outings are interjected around these tracks as Paul proves a vital jazz musician on the scene playing all sorts of styles as tracks from various bands blend into each other over the course of these seventeen songs. "Ma and Dad" incorporates Tomeka Reid's cello with ease while "Sprouts" find Paul expertly pairing with Makaya McCraven for deep beats.

Other highlights include the hypnotic "View From The Moon", the grooving "Bakers Dozen" and the rollicking "The One Who Endures" which is propelled forward by Vincent Davis powerful drumming. Two extended numbers also need to be mentioned as "Paris" pushes Paul's bass work directly to the forefront while the searching and exploratory "Spocky Chainsey Has Re-Emerged" stretches out to almost twenty minutes in exciting fashion.   

Ism captures Paul at various times making intricate and complex music that also engages and grooves. A vital part of the current Chicago Jazz scene, Paul and company deliver the goods on Ism.

Dylan Cover #409 Hudson "A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall"

In this ongoing Monday Series we will be exploring various artists versions of Bob Dylan song's. Today's tune is a cover by Hudson playing " A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall"

Jazzy January has invade Mondays! All this month we will check out various artists covering Dylan in a Jazz vibe, can you dig it daddy-o? 

Thoughts on Original:
Dylan singing from a position of fear as he poetically discusses the Cuban Missile Crisis and the possibility of Nuclear annihilation. Dylan also mentioned in Chronicles that the song was inspired by a feeling he got when reading microfiche newspapers in the New York Public Library: "After a while you become aware of nothing but a culture of feeling, of black days, of schism, evil for evil, the common destiny of the human being getting thrown off course. It’s all one long funeral song." An apt description and a powerful song from a young songwriter.

Cover:

Thoughts on Cover Artist:
RtBE missed the Hudson release which is too bad as we are fans of Medeski Scofield and Dejohnette. The record is worth checking out though even if it was released a few years ago. 

Thoughts on Cover:
A very cool artistic cover of Dylan's tune in unique fashion. A great way to start off Jazzy January Dylan covers, and we will get back to this group later in the month as well.
