P-Vine PCD 1616 |
Chittlin' Shout |
● CD $23.98 |
Previously unissued sides recorded for Roy Ames in Houston
in 1971. This set captures well what Cobb wes playing around Houston back
then - relaxed, bluesy blowing on standards and blues. The sidemen are
competent if unexciting. Dedicated Arnett fans may want to have this, but
when all is said and done, there is better Arnett Cobb around. (PR )

The Very Best Of Jivin' Singers On The Piano |
● CD $23.98 |
27 tracks featuring vocalist with solo piano or with groups
featuring piano. The title is a bit misleading as the piano is only
prominent on some of the tracks and not all the tracks could be considered
"jive". Elizabeth Washington's Whiskey Blues with Aaron
Sparks is a stunning blues performance but a little out of place here.
Still there's lots of good stuff here from Loumell Morgan Trio, Buck
Washington, Toy Wilson, Hoagy Carmichael, Browning & Starr, Milt Herth
Quartet, Julia Lee, Harry "The Hipster" Gibson, Earl Hines and
others.
