O-10: I guess I spoke tooo soon. After getting excited over Salvant and Porter coming into the Jazz family, seems as if we just lost a giant. The latest Issue of Down-Beat reviews the latest CD from Dr John. Seems as if he has "replaced his New Orleans-Based band, with a Sarah Morrow led group dubbed The Nite Trippers". Two questions, why would an Icon of Nawlins music replace a New Orleans-based band, and Who, and WTF, is Sarah Morrow? The clips on Amazon do not bode well. Better get his old stuff while you can. This is an outrage. And then he had the nerve to name the CD "The Spirit of Satch". The entire magazine, which I don't read very often, will just brings tears to the eyes of any Jazz fan. Real Jazz, that is. My, how the art has fallen on hard times. Lots of quanity. Little to no quality. If you just read the track list you would be very impressed. Great tunes, and Guests, from the Blind Boys of Alabama to Arturo Sandoval to Shemekia Copeland. A different guest on each track. But, the arrangments tell the story. Can you imagine Dr John backed by Lawrence Welk?? Sad day in Nawlins!! Who or what is at work here? Miles' aunt or Marie Laveau??? Cheers |
I may owe Rok an apology. I listened to a few cuts of the Dr. John CD and what I heard was, at least on first listen, not good. I will have to hear more latter. Seemed more "old school" than "modern." Ms. Morrow has a strong background and praise from Curtis Fuller cannot to be overlooked. I will have to keep an eye on her. |
