Eva Cassidy - Live at Blues Alley

Eva Cassidy could do it all as a vocal virtuoso: sing the blues, belt out a soul tune,
sing jazz arragements of tunes from the Great American Song Book, and stirr you with
a heart-felt ballad. She also had a superb band behind her, especially Lenny Williams
on the piano and Chris Biondo on guitar. Her death at just 33 years old was a great loss.
Live at Blues Alley is one of the best live albums in my collection.

Andre Previn and David Finck - We Got Rhythm

I don't think there is a finer interpreter of Gershwin on the piano.

Freddie Hubbard - The Body & The Soul

Analogue Productions vinyl reissue on two 180g 45RPM long players. Remastered by
Steve Hoffman and pressed at Pallas Records in Germany. IMO this is Hubbard's
greatest recording, mainly due to the variety and strengths of the arrangements.
But make no mistake about it, the performances are mind numbing. There are three
different settings. A 16 piece big band, a septet, and an orchestra with strings.
Wanye Shorter and Eric Dolphy are on hand as sidemen. Produced by Bob Thiele
and recorded by Rudy Van Gelder. Highly recommended.

May Blitz
The 2nd of May

CD

May Blitz is a British heavy rock power trio that was active in the early 1970s.

The group was formed in 1969 by bassist Terry Poole and drummer Keith Baker, the rhythm section of the blues-rock trio Bakerloo, both of whom left the group when guitarist Clem Clempson departed to join Colosseum. Jamie Black joined the group on vocals and guitars but both Poole and Baker left this group as well before it recorded anything, Poole joining Vinegar Joe and Baker Uriah Heep. Black then added fellow Canadian Reid Hudson on bass and Tony Newman, who had played with Jeff Beck, The Hollies and Sounds Incorporated, on drums.

After some time playing pubs in the UK, the group signed with Vertigo Records and released their debut album in 1970. A second album followed early in 1971 but the group did not see success quickly and decided to disband late in 1971. Black and Hudson, both originally from Canada, returned to their native country while Newman went on to join Three Man Army
